The 6Th Global Forum for Combating Antisemitism ICC Jerusalem, March 19Th-21St, 2018 The 6th Global Forum for Combating Antisemitism ICC Jerusalem, March 19th-21st, 2018 Summary of GFCA Panels The following is a brief summary of the various thematic panel discussions and their operative conclusions: Hate in the Age of New Politics: Confronting Neo-Nazism and Antisemitism of the Extreme Right in the United States and Elsewhere Sharon Nazarian,, ADL Senior VP for International Affairs, began the panel by situating the white supremacist movement within the context of dramatically rising numbers of antisemitic incidents in the US and the increase in white supremacist recruitment efforts including on college campuses. Mike Signer, former mayor of Charlottesville, Virginia, described the impact of his Jewish heritage on his public service, especially as related to his leadership during the August 2017 Unite the Right white supremacist rally. Signer suggested that the Alt Right lost legitimacy when it began to use violence as an instrument for spreading ideology. Yair Rosenberg, Senior Writer for Tablet Magazine, described his efforts to "troll the trolls." He argued that when confronted online by antisemitic harassers who intend to silence or intimidate, repaying with dismissive humor can be a way of turning the tables on them and revealing their ignorance and maliciousness to a wide audience. Eric K. Ward, Executive Director of the Western States Center, described his decades of work studying and opposing white supremacists in the US. He underscored the fact that hatred of Jews is the unifying core of white supremacist ideology, and called for a greater mobilization by civil society to oppose this movement. Ha asked that Israeli government take care to distance itself from any type of far right hate innuendo in US or elsewhere, Operative suggestions raised during the panel included the following: 1) Need for better understanding by municipal and law enforcement authorities of anxiety and fear level experienced by the Jewish communities due to extreme right public actions. Perhaps there is need for a renewed discussion in US on constitutional parameters regarding severe hate provocation. 2) Need for greater tools of resilience and push back against hate trolling; there is a need for private sector take responsibility for preventing extreme right manifestations. Airbnb temporarily closing down rentals available in Charlottesville is an example of possible steps. 3) The sane majority should not keep silent, in the face of extreme hate by small groups attempting to gain political power and control of the public square. Antisemitism in the Far Left: Intersectionality as a Cover for Hate Speech in Current Progressive Activism David Bernstein, President and CEO, Jewish Council for Public Affairs, suggested a conceptual framework for understanding the current situation. Since the end of the ‘60’s, the Left understands oppression as caused by global structures. The weak are by definition the oppressed, as they are discriminated by power and capital. Hence the weak by definition cannot be racist, because structurally they are the victims of racism. Since Israel and the Jewish people are in a position of power, they are generally not identified by the Left as potential victims of racism, and at best these issues are allowed to fall through the cracks. In the past, antisemitic conspiratorial thinking were held by radical groups in the margins, but one hears these ideas today more in the mainstream. Marx’s idea that the Jews are not a nation has been adopted by arts of the Left as part of the delegitimization of Israel. He advocated using the language of intersectionality to enter their space. Simply attacking it conceptually from the outside will not be an effective strategy. Sohrab Ahmari, Senior writer, Commentary Magazine, cited Judith Butler’s position that Hamas and Hizbullah are part of the global left, which means that she understands them as perfectly legitimate organizations. Ahmari described what he called ‘the Olympics of oppression, with everyone vying to be the most oppressed- but with no acknowledgement of Jews as victims”. Intersectionality promotes a relativism which is not good for the Jewish people, as it lacks all historic context and does not take into account the suffering of the Jews in the 20th century which necessitates their statehood. Nadine Epstein, Editor-in-Chief, Moment Magazine, said the antisemitism of the left is less dangerous than the far right in the US because it is not carrying guns. She focused on the Women’s March and Black Lives Matter movements, advocated engagement with them wherever possible, and does not believe the problematic positions of the leadership impugn the entire movements with antisemitism, as most participants are ignorant of the leadership views. Dave Rich, Associate at the Pears Institute for the Study of Antisemitism, said that in the discourse of the far-left, identity politics has replaced class politics. Intersectionality encompasses the notion that all oppressions are connected, so that the perceived oppression of one person is in reality addressed by the campaign of everyone else who sees themselves as similarly oppressed. Oppression in this thinking implies the absence of power. Hence Jews and Israel need not apply, as they are perceived as having power. 2 LGBTQ Expert Panel on Contemporary Antisemitism Inside the Rainbow Coalition Tyler Harris Gregory, Executive Director of A Wider Bridge pointed out that the LGBT rights movement has historically been one of the most successful and is similar to Zionism in many ways. Why then has the LGBT movement become a home for many anti-Zionist activists? It is important that we underline a number of points. First of all, Israel is by far the from conservative and religious Jerusalem, but nevertheless, Israel is overall very liberal and open to LGBT rights. Secondly, we need to challenge our movement for its lack of focus on the terrible things happening in other places, such as Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East, and what is the LGBT movement doing to help these people. Gretchen Hammond, Journalist and Fellow at Tablet Magazine, recounted the antisemitism she witnessed first hand in Chicago, “where people from my own community turned against the Jews. In 2017 I reported regarding three Jewish activists who were banned from the Dyke March in Chicago. We did not expect this to attract as much attention as it did.” The Dyke March released three different response statements, and Hammond had an argument with her editor who wanted to present only one side of the argument. Hammond was roundly attacked and banned from her newspaper, more or less forcing her to separate from the LGBT community. The LGBT movement in the US is too fractured and politicized at present, and one finds a more coherent attitude and position actually in Tel Aviv. Israel is singled out for pink washing, but when one considers it, every liberal country could be similarly condemned for being advanced on LGBT issues but lacking on others. Avi Sofer, former Executive Director of Agudah, said that LGBT antisemitism is a new instance of well established present forms of antisemitism. Particularly in Europe, our many friends in the LGBT community remain silent. We encounter a radical politics imposed by a minority, and one finds that there is no will or desire to hear an objective factual description of the situation in Israel.. Malmo it is so antisemitic one cannot identify there either as a Jew or as an LGBT, but this is ignored. Pink washing is innuendo and an exercise in deflection, The term was created to close down speech, and to keep us from talking about actual issues. I would that when one is accused of pink washing, the response should be – let’s speak about things as they are, without name calling and evasion. Elizabeth Schwartz, Author and Attorney of LGBT family law, said that we are confronting antisemitism even inside some parts of the Jewish community. Many people see the world as the oppressor vs. the oppressed and paint all the complexities of the world in black and white. At the same time, In the same way, it is not right to paint all progressives and lefty actions as antisemitic. I do not want to us leaving the social justice table, and not nearly enough is known about the social justice work happening in Israel. It is fine that the LGBT movement not agree with all aspects of Israel or its policies, but the very troubling question remains: Why is Israel singled out? 3 The Persistence of Christian Theological Antisemitism in the Mainline Protestant Church: Coping with Bigotry and Hate in the Spiritual Realm Rabbi David Sandmel, Director of Interreligious Relations, ADL spoke about the Kairos Palestine document, released in 2009. The document is a call for justice and peace by a select group of Palestinian Christians. In reality, it traffics in classical Christian anti-Judaism, distorts history, and refuses to recognize the Jewish connection to the land of Israel. It has and will continue to be used by the Christian BDS activists in the U.S. especially on the 70th anniversary of the founding of the state and the tenth anniversary of the Kairos document adoption. Rabbi Yehiel Poupko of the Chicago Jewish Federation said that one example of the theological problems of the Kairos document is its rejection of Jewish particularism, a feature of Palestinian Liberation Theology as seen in the work of Naim Ateek. The land of Israel becomes universalized, and the identity of Jews and their historical connection is erased. In the Mainline Protestant critique of the Jewish return to sovereignty, we are seeing transference of two thousand years of Christian non-acceptance of Jewish particularism. Robert Nicholson, Executive Director, Philos Project, said Christians in Israel and Palestine have generally not resorted to violence, but have become much more vocal of late.

  • Manifestations of Anti- Semitism in the 21St Century
    ANTI-SEMITISM RESURGENT: MANIFESTATIONS OF ANTI- ST SEMITISM IN THE 21 CENTURY 1 www.counterextremism.com | @FightExtremism ANTI-SEMITISM RESURGENT: MANIFESTATIONS OF ANTI-SEMITISM IN THE 21ST CENTURY Key Points Modern anti-Semitism is a repackaging of historic tropes. Anti- Semites have adapted conspiracy theories of the blood libel as well as Jewish influence in economic and governmental affairs to fit new circumstances, such as the accusation that Jews are responsible for spreading COVID-19, just as Jews were accused of spreading the plague a millennium ago. Jews have historically been denied political and economic rights, and modern anti-Semitism is an expression of the rejection of Jewish integration into society. While the twentieth century saw the rise of influential Jewish politicians around the world as well as the creation of the Jewish nation-state of Israel, conspiracy theorists continue to accuse Jews of dual loyalties and exerting too much influence in world affairs. Partisan politicians are also increasingly willing to incorporate anti-Semitic tropes into their rhetoric to attack opponents they view as serving other interests. Blatantly anti-Semitic historical legal restrictions on Jewish life have evolved into modern laws restricting basic tenets of Jewish life—e.g., kosher slaughter and circumcision—with support from both the left and the right, who argue they are protecting animal and children’s rights. These laws largely do not specifically target Jews but still have the effect of restricting Jewish practice. 2 Table of Contents Anti-Semitism By The Numbers ............................................................................................ 8 Reviving Anti-Jewish Laws .................................................................................................. 31 Modern Political Anti-Semitism .......................................................................................... 34 Holocaust Denial .................................................................................................................

  • 1 Yom Kippur Sermon Tishri 10 5776
    YOM KIPPUR SERMON TISHRI 10 5776/ SEPTEMBER 23, 2015 STUART SOTSKY In the Haftarah today from Isaiah we read: “Is not this the fast I look for: to unlock the shackles of wickedness, to undo the fetters of injustice, to let the oppressed be free, and to break every cruel chain?” But, what is justice? Justice is, I believe, a human concept derived from living within an organized human society, and is embodied in our religious precepts, legal codes and political ideologies. Is there justice evident in the natural world, in which predators hunt and devour prey, and natural disasters wreak seemingly meaningless destruction? Obviously the concepts of justice vary greatly among societies and, even within Jewish civilization, natural disasters have historically been interpreted as divine justice. Despite admirable contemporary efforts to reach international consensus on universal human rights, adherence to them has failed miserably in too many societies in which self-determination, freedom of belief, expression, and identity, and personal security, have fallen prey to corrupt and oppressive authoritarian power, sometimes justified by religious ideology. In our own society, there have been continuing efforts “to form a more perfect union” to fulfill the promises of equality and human rights embodied in our Constitution and Declaration of Independence. While there has been substantial progress in civil rights, women’s rights, and LGBT rights over the past two generations, we still bear painful witness today to disturbing evidence of persistent racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and anti-Semitism, encouraged by appeals to primitive fears and hatreds by too many political and religious leaders.

  • "There's No Pride in Anti-Semitism": Framing the 2019 Dc Dyke March Ban of the Jewish Pride Flag Through Facebook Comments
    "THERE'S NO PRIDE IN ANTI-SEMITISM": FRAMING THE 2019 DC DYKE MARCH BAN OF THE JEWISH PRIDE FLAG THROUGH FACEBOOK COMMENTS A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Linguistics By Katherine Anne Olivia Arnold-Murray, B.A. Washington, DC April 1, 2019 Copyright 2020 by Katherine Anne Olivia Arnold-Murray All Rights Reserved ii "THERE'S NO PRIDE IN ANTI-SEMITISM": FRAMING THE 2019 DC DYKE MARCH BAN OF THE JEWISH PRIDE FLAG THROUGH FACEBOOK COMMENTS Katherine Anne Olivia Arnold-Murray, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Cynthia Gordon, Ph.D. ABSTRACT In this study, I investigate the ways in which Facebook users, through public comments they post on an LGBTQ+ organization’s page, multimodally construct diverse interpretations and meanings of an event. Bringing together Bateson’s (1972) and Goffman’s (1974) interactional understandings of frame with Entman’s (1993) conception of frame as a sense of perceived reality made salient to the self and others, I demonstrate the ways in which interactants use multimodal communicative strategies on Facebook to construct frames of interpretation to problematize an aspect of the 2019 Dyke March in Washington, DC, and ultimately, the organization itself. Days ahead of the 2019 DC Dyke March, organizers banned the Jewish pride flag, claiming that the flag, with the Star of David in the center of a rainbow flag, is reminiscent of the Israeli flag, and is thus a symbol of “violent nationalism” against their queer values of anti- Zionism.

  • History of Israel and LGBTQ Rights
    History of Israel and LGBTQ Rights Prepared by: Deborah Engel Kollin [email protected] 310.351.3663 CIE Project for JQ International May 2016 Enduring Understandings: Israel is the only country in the Middle East that respects the rights of LGBTQ people. The success of any Civil Rights/advocacy movement is the result of the combined efforts of those willing to engage in civil discourse and discussion and that freedom and equality does not come without effort. Advocacy is critical to personal, family and community health. Jewish tradition uniquely obliges us to have the ometz lev ("courage") to pursue tzedek ("justice") and rachman ("compassion") in order to help repair the world. (Tikkun Olam) Essential questions: What is justice? What does it mean to advocate? How does advocacy demonstrate a free society? What are different types of societal freedom and how do they protect and defend us? How have the actions of the Civil Rights/LGBTQ Rights movement affected your everyday life? What deeds can we do to pursue justice? To show compassion? Do the two ever conflict? What are some injustices of our society? What situation call for compassion? What values do Americans Jews and Israeli Jews hold in common? Do Israeli values or laws ever conflict with Jewish values or laws? How can we help repair the world? Why does Tikkun Olam sometimes require courage? Students will know: 1. That the Gay Rights movement developed differently in Israel and the US. In the US it was a culmination of many events between government, groups, and individuals; in Israel gov’t made decisions.
