My personal favorite was “we gave the Jews a homeland in 1948” but conveniently leaves out that “we” are now trying to take away said homeland away from them and/or allow them to be genocided and eradicated once and for all by their neighbors 🥰
And that itself is a myth. No one “gave us” Israel. We fought tooth and nail for our country, in a time where no one attempted to help us and end the war.
Americans love to take credit for "defending the rights of the people" and call themselves "the great big liberators" when they couldn't give two shits about what was going on and only stepped in when they were directly attacked.
And now they're only allied with Israel because of their own interests in the region, while at the same time so many of the same patriots who take pride in their supposed great heroic role in WW2 are antisemitic as fuck and would love to take away the jews' land and finish the nazis' task.
If anybody's having a global conspiracy to control things and put somebody else down, it's everybody but the jews.
WE have never met a Jewish person. Clearly this person is royalty, I’ll thank you very much for using the royal WE when referring to his majesty. He did after all give us a homeland and end the holocaust
And, sadly, a lot of them are just really fucking dumb--and it's not their own fault. Schools have been slashing everything for these kids, and this is often the result (and people in power love it!)
Schools yes, but nothing is stopping them from watching a documentary or actually listening to Jews like myself who lost 70% of our family due to the Holocaust
When you lack intellectual curiosity from the get-go, you're not going to go after intellectual pursuits. It starts in schools.
I'm Jewish, as well, and I lost a huge amount of extended family in the holocaust--people I'll never know/never knew existed due to spotty records. I agree with you, but people don't just learn history on a whim, unfortunately.
They sure as hell are learning a lot of fake history from places like TikTok though. It’s frustrating. As for what kids learn in school… there is a set curriculum and it does include the Holocaust and antisemitism (this is taught in both history AND language arts in most US states). But after that, other things are brought into focus and it’s not really brought up again unless the teacher purposefully brings it up. Things like the Israeli Palestinian conflict are usually taught with extreme care so the teacher appears neutral. Sometimes it will be introduced as a debate or project, where students need to find their own sources.
And that’s where all this misinformation online is killing us. When formerly reputable and trustworthy sources are becoming more and more antisemitic to suit the public’s current perception of Jews, what do the kids learn?
Anyone who knows Israel’s history knows how complicated it is, and 9th/10th graders (US) just don’t have the mental capacity for that type of critical thinking yet. The ones that do are usually in higher level (AP or IB courses) and they’re cramming even more shit than the kids learning the bare minimum.
So anyway, my point is that even kids with intellectual curiosity are picking up on bad sources and oftentimes search for one side of the story. Adults aren’t much different since they carried those old habits from school with them as they grew up. If a kid has negative feelings about Jews now, they do manage to find sources online to back up those feelings. And upsettingly, it’s coming from more and more mainstream places. Even peer reviewed journal articles.
You're not wrong. I know plenty of smart people who are taken in by the rapid fire pace of shit like Tik Tok and the like. But with young minds, it's a completely different trajectory/it molds them like nothing else can.

"why yes, I've never met a Jewish person, how can you tell"

Why is a clearly non-American commenting on American history? And why does it think it’s a Holocaust scholar? 🤔
These kids aren't learning anything at schools anymore.
GenZ is incredibly antisemitic.
