A child is dead and Oklahoma elected officials respond by saying they “don’t want that filth in our state.” This dehumanization - in the form of bigoted rhetoric and deeply dangerous policies - will only jeopardize more lives. #NexBenedict

If you’re targeting Jewish people, organizations, and events — like a Shabbat dinner — for the actions of the Israeli government, you’re engaging in antisemitism. It’s really not hard to find another location, unless of course your goal is to harass Jews….

Whether canceling menorah lightings, or vandalizing synagogues, or targeting Jewish-owned businesses — again, holding Jews collectively responsible for Israel’s actions is antisemitism. That Goldie is owned by Mike Solomonov, an outspoken peace advocate, only underscores it.

To be clear: we live in a country where Jews can't go to synagogue without worrying that they might be murdered. That should not be acceptable to anyone. Nor should it be used as an excuse to spread bigotry and hate against any community -- which only makes all of us less safe.

Many things can be true at the same time: 1. Israel and the Jewish people are not one and the same — AND many Jews are deeply impacted by what happens there. 2. You can support Palestinian rights, oppose Israeli policies/leaders —AND be appalled by Hamas’ massacre of Jews. 3/

The violence is the point. Anti-LGBTQ policies and rhetoric are intended to dehumanize and normalize bigotry — so that violence against LGBTQ people, those who support them, and other communities becomes more acceptable. It’s why neo-Nazis are recruiting off anti-drag protests.
