What any sane person should have gotten out of WW2 is that people shoudn’t be stigmatized or worse based on religion, sexual orientation, ethnic roots, opinions and more.
The fact that the stigmatized religion happens to be Jewish or Orthodox matters not, it’s the process that should instill fear in people: the arbitrarity of the ruler, the denial of science, othering of some convenient minority, all that to distract the public’s attention from real problems. (Inflation and unfair treaties for germany, state racism in the case of israel, deportations and disregard for the rule of law in the US, etc)

The Jewish population have become a pawn in the game. No matter what happens they are going to get screwed.

I am Filipino. A cousin of min, who’s Jewish on his father’s side, decided to have a bat Mitzvah last year. Proud of the kid but I wonder if he has been exposed to actual hate speech behavior that was misdirected at the Jewish people because of the war.

Not only that but also physical violence.
It isn’t just Jewish people either. Muslims are also at risk from far right crazies.

I feel like as a 90s kid, someone old enough to remember and understand 9/11, anti-Muslim sentiment has been around a long time. That doesn’t surprise me regarding this.
