Jonah Platt Calls Out 3 Behaviors Fueling Antisemitism!

Watch and Listen

Today we remember, we remember the 1200 parents and children,

grandparents and babies, boyfriends and girlfriends, cousins and

siblings, workers, first responders, caretakers, soldiers, civilians.

Citizens, visitors, cows, chickens, dogs.

We remember the heroes.

Those who lived and remained haunted.

Those who died, so others might live.

Security guards, nurses, concert goers, kids.

We remember the music.

The makeup, the smiles, the energy, the sunrise.

We remember when the music stopped.

The rockets, the running, the terror.

We remember what we found after in the bar.

The woods, the dumpster, the bomb shelters, the fields, the cars,

the toilets, the side of the road.

We remember the videos, photos.

Phone calls live streams, documenting hell on Earth as we could never

imagine and will never forget.

We remember

Route 2, 3, 2.

We remember the taken.

Spat upon bloodied, defiled, starved, enslaved.

We remember the executed, the rescued, the returned, the yet to be returned.

Then we remember every day we.

We remember the before times when the illusion of safety and civility and

solidarity still lulled us to sleep.

When we all agreed, a baby taken hostage was a horrible thing.

When we believed all women denounced jihadism put our

friendships before international conflicts thousands of miles away.

We remember never having to question whether we were

safe, accepted, or understood.

We remember realizing.

We aren't, we remember the protests and accusations and celebrations before

a single IDF boot was on the ground.

We remember resistance is justified from the river to the sea.

Globalize the intifada.

We don't want no two state.

We remember the silence from those we were sure would stand by us.

We're sure could tell the difference between a terrorist and not a terrorist.

We remember the disappointment, the pain, the rage, the grief, the shock.

We remember what it felt like to not carry those around with us every day.

We remember realizing we were witnessing the descent of Western liberal

civilization into Islamist Apolog through a steady diet of propaganda on

our phones, computers, and televisions.

We remember it takes a million words and facts and examples to explain the truth.

And a ten second TikTok to erase it.

We remember actors, musicians, politicians, university presidents,

NGOs lapping up an Islamist concocted narrative in the name of

signaling virtue while achieving nothing else but Jewish unsafety.

We remember when college was getting smarter.

We remember the friends, relatives, colleagues.

Jobs, communities, role models.

We lost to the cult of white guilt, lazy thinking, and social acceptance.

We remember the synagogue's, firebombed, restaurants, vandalized

businesses, boycotted homes, graffitied windows shattered.

Again, we remember Paul Kessler, Karen Diamond.

Sarah Milgram, Yarone Lashinsky, Adrian Dalby, Melvin Kravitz and other innocents

murdered for being born as Jews.

And we remember the countless others who have been beaten,

stabbed, assaulted, harassed, doxed, demonized and ostracized for it.

We remember, we've seen this all before.

We remember this is how the Nazis did it, not all at once, but incrementally.

Tolerably one small injustice at a time so that only Jews and our allies noticed

what was happening and only we cared.

We remember that it's not just the Nazis, but millennia of persecutions and pogroms.

That being a hated minority in a majority society is our normal.

In the past 50 years was not, but we also remember that we've been through worse.

Many times worse at many times, and we are still here as strong as

we've been in thousands of years.

We remember that America is not Nazi Germany and that Nazi Germany did not

have to contend with a Jewish state.

We remember our Jewish state possesses one of the strongest and

most advanced armies in the world and defends its people, even when the

rest of that world says it shouldn't.

We remember that in the past two years, Nasra has fallen sin, war has fallen.

Assad deposed Hezbollah, diminished Russia retreated.

Iran exposed.

We remember how when Iran attacked Israel, America, Britain, France,

Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and UAE responded, we remember the pagers.

Oh, do we remember the pagers?

We remember that Jews are as defiant and resilient.

A people as exist on this planet, and no war, physical or

informational will change that.

We remember that this too shall pass.

It always does.

We remember that we are one people wherever we are, however we

observe whether we agree or not.

We remember we are who we are because we don't always agree.

That's a beautiful thing.

We remember that each of us has a role to play, a unique responsibility to

uphold an obligation not to finish the work, but not to desist from it either.

So tomorrow we work, but today we remember

this is the 42nd episode of being Jewish with me, Jonah Platt.
