American Muslims are bereaved and anxious today. “There’s a climate of hate that has been nurtured by the president all the way down. We saw it against Jews.... There’s a cost to this rhetoric of hate. The cost is 49 people who went to Friday prayer.” washingtonpost.com/religion/2019/…

Tomorrow is Juma'a (Friday) prayer in the United States. Parents, like me, bring their kids to pray with the community. Mosques, churches, synagogues, Sikh temples are safe spaces, sanctuaries for religious communities. Now? Sites of massacres. Prayers for Christchurch.

For those asking, "Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un" is Arabic and a verse from the Quran said by Muslims upon hearing of someone's death.

Overlooked in much of the response to #VarsityBlues is the way it contributes to the stigmatization of students with learning disabilities, some of whom are already afraid of getting help or speaking out, lest they be accused of "gaming" the system twitter.com/E2ENational/st…

A lot of people spent a lot of time claiming Jewish people were hearing things in Omar's language that weren't there. Maybe they can now explain that to Omar's defenders, who heard the exact same anti-Semitic canard (and agreed with it). twitter.com/Yair_Rosenberg…

Jeanine Pirro is a disgrace. Ilhan Omar's right to wear hijab in accordance with her religious convictions is as constitutional as an Orthodox Jewish woman's right to wear a sheitel. Anything less is un-American. twitter.com/existentialfis…

(3) The concern then moves from the original incident/comment to the double standard towards anti-Semitism on campus. When you see that other groups are respected when they say something is hateful or discriminatory towards them, the disparate treatment becomes the problem.

(2) But I do think the reactions to even voicing concerns about anti-Semitism has now become a huge part of the problem. From personal experience, I see how Jewish students are told they are wrong, made to feel they're being too sensitive, & pressured into silence, as a result.

(1) I don't agree that that the reaction to Omar's comments are worse, not after she was given the benefit of the doubt less than a month ago from many who were willing to write off a remark filled with anti-Semitic tropes as merely a historically-ignorant gaffe twitter.com/michelleinbkly…

Prof. @DeborahLipstadt literally wrote the book on anti-Semitism. She beat Holocaust denier David Irving in court. She bashed Bibi for dalliances with far-right governments. She's said Trump enables anti-Semites. Here's what she said about Omar's comments: jewishinsider.com/15856/intervie… pic.twitter.com/UXyYOWg6mg

The fact that a Jewish member of Congress felt compelled in 2019 to prove his "loyalty" to America should alarm and sadden us all. This is not OK. twitter.com/RepTedDeutch/s…

"With each report that Republicans were using the Omar incident, it became clearer that Jewish Democrats who dare to call out anti-Semitism will be scapegoated for future party losses — instead of the actual source of anti-Semitism," writes @eshire:

Anyone who tells you that you can't commit your life to fighting for Palestinian civil rights without engaging in anti-Semitic tropes is not a leader you should trust. If you truly care about racial equality, find the people fighting for it on all fronts and follow them.

I'm a little late to this, but @AnshelPfeffer is a must read on why Omar—and, for that matter, Corbyn–are symptomatic of a problem that goes well beyond their parties or countries haaretz.com/us-news/.premi… pic.twitter.com/njQbaUIsul

Pelosi and Dems condemned Omar, but @tylercowen raises the issue of how much that means in a world when Twitter is more of a gateway for power and fame than the party bloomberg.com/opinion/articl… pic.twitter.com/OOB5c7oVei

Here is Linda Sarsour telling people to boycott The Forward, the oldest Jewish paper in America, and telling them which Jews are the good Jews as opposed to the bad ones.
Imagine anyone doing this to any other minority community and thinking it was OK. pic.twitter.com/RAn7W7ab9z

@lisabonos writing this piece actually made 2017 one of my favorite Valentine's Days, surpassed only by the one in 2011 when @qdoba gave me a half-priced burrito in honor of the most romantic day of the year. twitter.com/lisabonos/stat…

This is how the insidious anti-Semitism game works: If Jews don't protest anti-Semitism, it festers and grows. If we do, and our non-Jewish allies act, we are accused of deploying our disproportionate power and sinister influence.
Heads the anti-Semites win, tails the Jews lose. twitter.com/mtracey/status…
