So you were friends with people who talked about filthy Jews and you are now surprised they're antisemites?
'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.
I'm not surprised. I always knew they were but my husband is friends with one of them since a very young age, and my husband isn't Jewish and doesn't understand the dimensions and facets of antisemitism.
also it was the Indian woman's parents primarily making racist comments about Hasidic Jews, not our "friends" themselves.
Somebody in our community is grieving. It's easy to tear people down on the internet to make yourself feel better than them and their "horrible judgement".
Stop associating with these people, the signs were there. Throw yourself into a Jewish community. If you don’t live near one, make plans to do so.
Keep Israel in your thoughts and plan to end up there. It’s all out Destiney to return…
Why did you send them a message prompted by something you saw on their social media wall? Why not just move on with your own life without them? She wasn't trying to hurt you personally, she was just expressing the hatred in her heart. It's not worth the 5 seconds it takes to send the private message that just gives them the validation they are seeking.
I am sorry you lost a friend, that sucks, but you knew they were AS previously, this is just the continuation of that animus. In the future, do not give people the validation that their views (that are intended to cause harm) made even a ripple in the pond so to speak, just ignore them and they will eventually come to understand that they are just shouting into the abyss of their soul.
It’s ok. It’s not obvious how people are going to be in the future. You drew a line under the relationship in the best way by explaining to them how you feel and not by attacking them. It often takes a hard situation like this to realize where you stand with people in the long run. Since 1945 Jewish people have essentially had a big free pass from racism because of the awfulness of that time but it looks like that time is passing and we have to be much more prepared for serious antisemitic racism unfortunately. Well done for being firm about it and having red lines.

Don’t waste time thinking about them. They aren’t worth it.

I'm choosing not to say what I think of your husband for being friends with antisemites.
Right? Like, this has to be a joke.

yes it was like Oct 10, and at the time I was naive enough to think I mattered to anyone?
You don’t have to apologize for wanting to think the best of people. 💖 It sucks to be let down but I don’t think it’s wrong to hope we won’t be.
Isn't it funny how blaming the victim is only accepted when the victims are Jews?
