It's coming fast and furious now. From Kanye West to Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ilhan Omar to Dave Chappelle, antisemitism is being mainstreamed to an extent we haven't seen in recent memory. Now is the time for non-Jewish allies to stand with the Jewish community. We need you.

I was a high schooler in Israel during the Second Intifada. I lost friends and classmates in the wave of Palestinian suicide bombings and shootings that claimed the lives of over 1,000 Israelis. Don't talk to me about "context" or "nuance." We know exactly what an Intifada is.
“Intifada” is the anti-Muslim scare word du jour. For years, it was “Sharia.” Before that, it was “jihad.” Now, in the context of Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza, many are weaponizing this term — stripping it of context or nuance — to make you believe that Islam is violent.
