Let's Be Real, You Can't Blame Jews For Everything, We Aren't THAT Powerful

Jews are not your modern-day scapegoat.

Let's Be Real, You Can't Blame Jews For Everything, We Aren't THAT Powerful

As you've most likely heard, Brett Kavanaugh has recently been sworn in as supreme court justice despite the sexual assault claims against him. Outrage has risen and voter registrations have boomed as volunteers campaign, "The future is in our hands, register to vote to make a difference."

Even the once neutral popstar Taylor Swift broke her political silence as her recent Instagram post endorsed liberal values. But this has disappointed her neo-Nazi admirers who can no longer glorify their "Nazi Barbie." Consequently, the provoked white supremacists have now decided to blame the Jews. Sounds just.

In reaction to the latest news, hate crimes against Jews–represented by "caricatures of the Jewish members of the U.S. Senate with Stars of David drawn on their foreheads,"–have been present in four college campuses via repulsive fliers that blame the Jewish minority for Kavanaugh's sexual misconduct allegations. In addition to swastikas and racist graffiti drawn on the campus of Sacramento City College.

Although the diverse campuses of the University of California at Berkley and Davis, Vassar and Marist do not condone the behavior and are determined to denounce those who participated in this intolerance, anti-semitism remains. The fliers were produced by the Daily Stormer Book Club organizations, who have been described as "'small crews of young white men who follow and support Andrew Anglin and his neo-Nazi website, the Daily Stormer.'"

Their intent is to repair the "Jewish problem."

"Every time some Anti-White, Anti-American, Anti-freedom event takes place, you look at it, and it's Jews behind it" (Stormer Book Club).

What an illogical statement and generalization to standby. Not all men are abusive. Not all women are victims. Not all Muslims are terrorists. Not all Jews are a problem or conspiring against America.

And, no, our people by and large don't feel that Goys, or non-Jews, are inferior. At the end of the day, we are humans and not divided by our ancestry.

Forget about the young men who live in a scary time today, the Jewish peoples have historically always lived in a judgemental, anti-semitic society. From ancient empires to the "blood libel" in the Middle Ages to the Holocaust and even to contemporary times, Jews were ostracized and treated as "The Other."

As a Jewish young woman in college, I am appalled by the fact that people would blame not just everyone who identifies with Judaism but me for the alleged actions of Justice Kavanaugh. As a woman, no as a respectful human being, I would never condone sexual assault. As a victim of multiple sexual harassments, I would never falsely accuse someone. As a young American, I owe it to my community, society, and future generations to champion America, not supposedly conspire against it.

But, still, I'm somehow connected to Kavanaugh's purported assaults becuase, well, I'm Jewish and as a Hebe, Kike, Sheeny, whatever else you want to call me, at the end of the day, I have as much power over another man's actions as you. Hence, none.

Let's not get the Jews involved, it's not about minorities or cultures or religions, this issue is about people. Humanity and the way we treat one another.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
