one of the many incidents in europe (france, greece) where jewish cemeteries/memorials where vandalized
along with people of other religions (including islam, sikh, hindu, others.) jewish people dont get privileges that christian people have, meaning we, dont get guaranteed time off work/school for holidays, dont have freedom to worship without fear of judgement, wont have our faith accepted at your workplace/school, cant have a job without it being associated with your faith (“they’re a [lawyer/accountant/banker/jeweler]? well obviously, they’re jewish”), have expectations of what your career should be (“they’re jewish and they’re only working as [minimum wage job]? they should aim higher”), being referred to as “jewish” friend, the list goes on.
some extra facts just to further educate yourself on jewish people/the jewish religion:
besides israel and the united states, no other country has a jewish population more than 1%
the total amount of jewish people in the world is less than .2%
i could go on, but im sure you get it by now. feel free to add to this post.
But can we also talk about how “being a minority” isn’t defined by how much people hate a specific group? We make up 0.2% of the world’s population and outside of Israel, the United States has the largest number (and percentage) of Jewish people and we’re STILL under 2% of the population. Antisemitism is definitely still a huge problem pretty much worldwide, but even if it wasn’t, Jews are a minority because we’re a minority. Period.
“it’s not the 1940s anymore”
And in the 1940s it wasn’t the 1890s anymore, and in the 1890s it wasn’t the 1810s anymore, and in the 1810s it wasn’t the 1790s anymore, or the 1740s or the 1650s or the 1490s or the 1280s or the 500s or the frakking 3rd century BCE.
Antisemitism did not end with the Nazis, and it sure as hell didn’t begin with them either.
A “Trump presidency” is nothing new. If we don’t know our history, we’re destined to repeat it.

It’s worth remembering also that the immigration act passed by calvin coolidge was specifically part of the program of the KKK at that time, and reflected the specific racial hierarchy that the KKK believed in, setting quotas accordingly. This law was also one of the reasons the US did not accept as many jewish refugees from the holocaust as it could’ve. Leaving refugees to die because they’re foreigners and we think they’re dangerous is a long-established american tradition
It’s also worth remembering that the bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima were not against an undefeated enemy; Japan had already surrendered at that point.
