Across the nation, Jewish community centers threatened

But who wants the facts? It’s very inconvenient and gets in the way of legitimate criticism to know about the North African, Yemenite, Iraqi, Afghan, Ethiopian, Chinese or Indian Jews there. Or the Druze, Arab Israelis, etc.

Citation please. I joked about it before, certainly, because Jews always have to have a passport and go-bag ready, but I haven’t been active on this board until after the Orange Mussolini was in the primaries, and it went from a sad-angry joke to a certainty a few months ago.

For any move of any significance, there’s always a Push and a Pull to it, especially a move between countries. My Pull is definitely my fiancee, but my Push is the fact that I want to get out of the USA post-haste (and my business died the day the Short Fingered Vulgarian was elected, so I can’t support myself here long-term even if I wanted to stay).

I skimmed back your posts to about August 2014 (well before DJT entered the race) and the earliest I found was from May 2016 so I think I misremembered the timeline.

I certainly didnt mean to put words in your mouth nor to seem to demean you in any way!

Note that the EU table you give only includes terrorist attacks which killed at least 10 people. In the US there have only been 4 such attacks since the big one in 2001, 8 including that one since 1921.

I was just an occasional poster here before March '16, which is what I meant by “active”. Previously, I was on Tumblr, but left because the community was too toxic.

Also, the linked post is me not joking about it, but saying that I was giving serious consideration to it, even back then.

Well, you still succeeded at that, regardless of intent, but I will accept the apology in the spirit in which it was given.

He was a candidate – and, a winning one – because of all the factors leading up to that conclusion.

This has become an increasingly dangerous country for non-white/Christian/cis/het/males.

He supports Israel because he wants a place to ship all American Jews to.

He probably didn’t see it that way. Killing allies is at least as good. Maybe even better because they are enablers who voluntarily weaken white dominance. The KKK killed hundreds of white race-traitors too.

To paraphrase Chris Rock on the election of Obama - “Its not black people who have come a long way, its white people who have stopped being assholes.”

Others may disagree with this but I will always protect my family and friends first, my nation second. Citizenship is a legal construct and changing it is an administrative matter. Real community has no dotted lines, to cross or to sign. Go wherever you need to go to preserve that and keep it growing.

Our move to Belgium was in process long before Trump was even a serious candidate (I had an excellent job opportunity that turned into a spectacular job opportunity, and started preparing for that more than a year before we left) but lately I’m using that as an excuse and to trolley Trumpistas. Especially a few of my fruitcake relatives who are fond of him. Call it a convenient excuse, and we’re using it as a means to an end to try and get EU permanent residency.

Exactly.

To where? The EU has Marine le Pen and Alternative Fur Deutschland waiting in the wings. This Yid could get CZ residency, but Brno is crawling with fascists already. Stay and fight is safer. You’re in familiar turf.

Living in Paris, I might be inclined to reply with the same sort of sarcasm if somebody told me how terrible it must be to “face the threat of ISIS”. I found out about the attacks on the news like everyone else and in all the time since, I’ve met just one person who knew anyone who was there. Paris is a big place.

But to come back to the topic at hand it’s probably a different experience for people who frequent Jewish community centers or synagogues, where you inform the authorities of any planned events and you teach your children not to arrive or leave until the armed guards have posted up and down the street outside.

Maybe we shouldn’t be too quick to make light of the situation. Maybe “it’s fine for me so everything’s fine” is kind of an insensitive attitude to take on certain subjects, you know?
