Because a significant portion of the regime's fascist efforts to crush dissent revolves around their fact-free declaration that opposing a US-backed genocide in Gaza, being conducted by Israel, is actually antisemitism (and also a foreign policy matter that is beyond regulation due to presidential powers over foreign affairs), the ruling class establishment that supported that genocide even when it belonged to Biden, has a vested interest in presenting Jewish Americans as a unified bloc standing in opposition to anti-genocide protestors in support of Israel and the Zionist agenda. After all, the narrative that all of this monstrous bullshit is being done to protect Jewish people falls apart very quickly once you realize that vast numbers of American Jews are actively against all this fascist, genocidal bullshit; so that latter fact has to be kept from the American public, lest they become wise to the reality that this is all just a propaganda op to justify arms sales, genocide, and fascist repression of folks ideological opposed to the regime.

The reality however, is quite different from the picture you're allowed to see on television; Jewish Americans are actually massively overrepresented in the anti-genocide protest movement, and a vibrant, growing collage of Jewish left organizations are risking the personal safety of their members to vigorously oppose a fascist regime and say, quite directly, that not only are the regime's actions putting Jewish people in danger, they will not allow genocide, deportations, and fascist repression to be conducted "in their name."

For more about this hidden, but not secret story, let's turn to this deep dive by Shane Burley into the rise of Jewish left resistance in America to settler colonial occupation, genocide, and the fascist Trump regime's attempts to deport student protestors under the guise of combatting antisemitism:

Jewish Organizations Are Fighting Back Against Khalil Deportation

“This year, all over the U.S., Jews are holding emergency Passover Seders calling for the release of Mahmoud Khalil and an end to the criminalization of all those calling for an end to the Israeli government’s genocide of the Palestinian people,” JVP said as it announced the action. This seder is part of a long tradition of using Jewish rituals as a protest tactic, uniting the prophetic spiritual tradition of Judaism with the practical strategies of physical resistance and blockade. This action, offered with relatively short notice and promising to mobilize huge numbers of Jews and allies, is the result of the relationships that have been built across Jewish organizations as they try to confront the repression coming in Trump’s second term.

“We’re building a new coalition right now. Because not all of us have been in the same space together,” Lily Greenberg Call, a member of the New York City chapter of the Jewish anti-Occupation group IfNotNow, called into a megaphone on March 20. “But it is more important than ever now to reach for each other and unite for our communities and our neighbors who are under attack,” she told the thousand people who had flooded the streets of lower Manhattan, the historic home of the U.S. Jewish left. “People in this city have been abducted, separated from their families, thrown in detention camps, and threatened with deportation.”

Frankly, I don't really have a lot to add here because speaking for Jewish Americans who oppose fascism being conducted in their name really isn't my lane. Burley's extensive documentation of how Jewish resistance groups are banding together all across the country is however informative, and enlightening given a media environment where even critics of the Trump regime who still support genocidal Zionist objectives in Gaza are unprepared to report on that resistance. The obvious reality here is that no matter what the ADL says, a fascist regime stacked to the brim with antisemite nazis, doesn't give a flying fuck about combatting antisemitism, and fully intends to use the mere existence of Jewish people and antisemitism in our society, as the spear point for their transformation of America into an over fascist dictatorship - and that's a story, you just won't hear on the Six O'clock News.

Excellent news! @AIF_Massachusetts

Practical thing for do for fight triad of abuse/rape culture and fascism?

- believe survivor/victim and support
- foster athmosphere of respect of boundaries, limits, feelings, needs and wants
- #ConsentCulture be of import and be for sex and for nonsexual thing as well
- practice respect of body and bodily autonomy for self and other
- celebrate joy of life!

more concrete example:
- someone say "not can do task"? you not push. task maybe important for cause, but friend/comrade IS cause!
- someone upset, sad, have strong emotion, dissociate, leave suddenly? offer help if can guess what is needed, go after person for offer support, ask how help and then do
- make sure everyone (include you!) have food and rest and check in regular, make habit of check in: Need of body?
- have snack on table in in-person meeting or living space
- be connect to body of self and other (if consent) and be good friends with. learn and practice communicate with own body and other (if/when wanted)
- learn own body signal for distress or need or enjoy, learn friend signal, learn what different stim of autistic friend mean
- make space accessible, ask of accessibility need, normalise talk about, respect conflicting needs and invite creativity for find way of handle
- learn listen to instinct/ gut feeling/ vibes! this very important and no substitute for, because abuser good at twist word, like (fascist/enabling) politician
- if person give bad vibe, or you notice feel worse in body or mind if person around? GET AWAY from person, no matter who, even mother. catch breath. reflect. talk with trusted friend if possible. then decide if still be let bad vibe person in life.
- support self and other for cut contact with abuser, even if parent, and unlearn feeling of obligation to abuser (is same as unlearn loyalty to unjust government)
- listen to vibe be process of learn. bring feeling of vibes together with other sense, with feeling of body, with emotion, with knowledge and logic and with what other ppl know. make choice base on all those
- be you and obey only own value, not any authority you not trust. support other in do same, even if they be wrong, even if they question YOU. you stand by own opinion but respect friend have other view
- admit mistake and learn and grow and support other do same
- no shame to make friend change, no shame to shut down or cut off friend from group - goal be reconnection (unless it not friend but abuser)
- celebrate weirdness, craziness, difference, surprises in how people are or feel or act
- value fun, celebration, joy, light heartedness and childishness
