(3,051 posts)Given that radical Jew-hater Linda Sarsour is consistently a front-person for various feminist causes.
Very simply, Jew-hatred is being normalized and encouraged, following the 1930s pattern of Germany.
I didn't think I'd live to see that happen in the USA.
Every single college campus in the USA is a dangerous place for Jews. It's not just insults. It's physical attacks.
We're the minority it's politically correct to hate -- you know all those rich 1%er Joooos.

(50,935 posts)The existence of a person who is identified as a feminist (though I have never heard of her) and who is anti-Semitic doesn't mean that feminists are "Jew haters."
This is why I am puzzled by this. I don't think that there is any reason for animosity between lesbians and Jews. My suspicion and fear is that you are right, that there is a concerted effort to demonize Jews. But it seems more likely to me that lesbian causes are being hijacked for that purpose by people who have little to do with the lesbian community. That makes it even more frightening, because such an effort would have to be backed by money and organization, and it is using identifiable groups in the effort to normalize anti-Semitism.

(3,051 posts)I need a sarcasm tag. Yes, I am very much a feminist. And supporter of gay rights, for that matter. And a borderline socialist, although I am probably too much of a libertarian in my old age to be one, as I have cynically decided proper socialism is impossible with flawed humankind.
But, you're right, there is a pretty obvious push by antisemitic twerps to infiltrate and control progressive groups. The 99% movement had plenty -- as, I pointed out before -- it's a small emotional leap from rational socialism to "hey-look-at-that-rich-Jooo!"
This was Hitler's play, if you recall. He used the center-left National Socialist Party as his stand. All his speeches are typical socialism. After a bit, his 1%, however, were revealed as "evil Joooos."
So, the same effort is underway.
As far as Linda Sarsour (the fake feminist or at least poisonous feminist), she was one of the key Woman's March organizers. She openly talks about her hatred of Israel, her family's involvement with Hamas, and how Israel has no right to exist. And yet, somehow, she's embraced by our community (mainly because she is well-spoken, gives a good speech, looks impressive on camera, and very smart.)
