Don't be fooled. This is how anti-semitism begins. Blame someone, maybe a horrible individual who has done horrid things, mention they are Jewish and add Nazi.
Of course you wouldn't mention they are Catholic, Methodist or Baptist. A Jew.
I am beyond shocked. Appalled that 1. It was on Fb after our elections were compromised with such ads and, 2. That people I know, Fb 'FRIENDs" would comment on this person's behavior and not see their own in their comment. There was no mention of this HATE meme.
Yes, anti-semitism is on the rise.
Will you stand up to it or, as these people did, or continue it?
I do expect the person who posted this meme to remove me from her FRIENDs list. She isn't introspective enough to examine her own behavior as she tends to lash it easily at others. It is curious that this person would do that since she has a history of criticizing everyone else's behaviors. She models herself as a certain belief system, and posts things in accordance with this. I hope I am wrong and that she just missed the point of this meme. I'd be even more shocked if she gets it. Did I mention this Caucasian woman holds membership in the NAACP? Hypocrisy or just plain dense?
UPDATE: So far, I don't think I've been unfriended. She'd be the one to lose the friends. My friends are conscious. The offender responded stating she didn't see this the same way. An exchange went back and forth. Then the former president of the Democratic organization in a county with which I am quite familiar responded:
"his belief system makes his horror even more intense."
I am more shocked that people are so desensitized not to see calling a JEW out is anti-semitic. But they meme designers are sneaky. There has been a lot written about how they draw you in on an emotional plea. That she couldn't see her part in this, that she didn't apologize but defended herself - wow. Where do you go from this?
I give up. How do you turn the unconscious into a conscious person?
