Cara Drook, Reclaiming La Belle Juive, (2022 –).
'"La belle Juive" translates to "the beautiful Jewess." It is an archetype of Jewish women that is repeatedly shown in paintings and media throughout history. "La belle Juive" is rooted in antisemitism and misogyny. My goal with this collection is to have Jewish women take control of their narrative and reclaim "La belle Juive." I want to return dignity to the subjects and show what truly makes Jewish women beautiful.'
this is so bizarre (and also inaccurate) that I can’t even decipher what they’re trying to say by putting it up there.
an explanation of why he did this…it’s uh. not great
Since it was placed earlier this week, community members have expressed anger about the Lake Theater and Cafe’s marquee advertising screenin
Since it was placed earlier this week, community members have expressed anger about the Lake Theater and Cafe’s marquee advertising screenings of Christopher Nolan’s new film “The Odyssey.”
The south-facing marquee reads “Before there were the Jews, there was… The Odyssey.”
The reference has concerned many in the local Jewish community, specifically because of the current political environment in which the Jewish community faces heightened criticism — and bigotry — following escalating violence in occupied Gaza, and many feel that the marquee is antisemetic and ahistorical.
Bob Horenstein, The Jewish Federation of Greater Portland chief community relations and public affairs officer, said the federation has received dozens of messages from concerned community members. The Review also received many emails expressing concerns and many people have posted on social media about it.
“There’s drawing attention, and then there’s being offensive … What I wrote to (Lake Theater) yesterday was, we’d received over three dozen (email and calls) at least that members of our community feel very unsettled by the sign and I said we do not know the reason behind the choice of language, nor are we suggesting that there is necessarily any ill intent,” he said. “But to understand that, given the current climate of rising anti-Semitism, any reference to ‘the Jews’ is immediately suspected, rightly or wrongly, of having nefarious intentions, and that we would respectfully urge you to remove the current language and simply promote the movie.”
Jordan Perry, the general manager of the Lake Theater, said the marquee text would be taken down.
In a text message, he said the point of the remark was to push back on what is constituted as antisemitism and said he was surprised by the negative reaction it has received.
“My intention is never to influence opinion or fan flames, but to say: it’s okay to raise eyebrows, though I hope my messages reflect a depth of understanding others find in themselves but not always in the world around them,” said Perry by text message. “Through the media I consume, I believe modern-day antisemitism is exaggerated, mostly as a defense for Israel’s actions in the Middle East and its involvement in our politics, and my intention in referencing Jewish people on the marquee was to prod at everything being seemingly antisemitic with a statement that couldn’t possibly be construed as antisemitic.”
He added: “My intention was not to offend anyone, but rather to push back culturally back on what constitutes antisemitism, to signal, in solidarity, that it’s not about ‘the Jews,’ that it’s about Israel, and Palestine, and Lebanon, and Iran, and AIPAC. This is my ‘humor,’ this was the point, intentionally subtle, of what I put on the marquee.”
Perry added that the marquees reflect his personal views, not those of the business, and are “meant to connect with open-minded members of the community on a personal level, not as a business, and anyone coming to the business should only expect good food and drink, a relaxing environment, friendly staff, with a sort-of cynical guy sometimes behind the register who also runs food and cleans toilets.”
Rabbi Eve Posen, of Congregation Nevah Shalom, connected the marquee with accusations by members of the U.S. Congress that Israel is committing genocide in Palestine and said that a member of the community’s car was recently vandalized with swastikas.
“None of the individual moments, taken on their own, would necessarily warrant a public reflection. We live in a world where people disagree. We debate policy. We challenge history. We confront acts of hatred. But when these moments come one after another, layering upon one another in the span of a single day, they tell a story that is impossible to ignore,” Posen wrote via social media.
She also felt that there was no good reason for the Lake Theater to bring up the Jewish community while advertising the new film.
“The statement is historically false. More importantly, it raises a painful question: why invoke Jews at all? A clever movie promotion could have celebrated one of the oldest stories ever told without unnecessarily positioning Judaism as an afterthought or a comparison. In a moment when antisemitism is already at historic levels, casually inserting Jews into a narrative where we do not belong doesn’t feel harmless. It feels like another reminder that our story is somehow expendable, that our history can be rewritten or diminished for the sake of a punchline,” she wrote.
The north-facing marquee also referenced the new movie with the message, “Do you watch TV w/ subtitles? We’ve got The Odyssey w/ subtitles! (Not always, but sometimes).”
Many people commented that the story of The Odyssey – Homer’s original Greek epic passed down through an oral tradition – isn’t definitively older than evidence of Israelite tribes in ancient Canaan.
“it’s not about the Jews,” says absolute jerk who put “the Jews” on his marquee. “I’m not antisemitic” says the fool denying modern antisemitism.
Happy to say the Portland community IS NOT HAVING IT.

My hot take is I think all forms of populism are going to end up being bad for Jews
shabbat shalom everyone, stay safe and healthy and cute :)
and silly!
“I am as far as I know the most typical Western Jew among them. This means, expressed with exaggeration, that not one calm second is granted me, nothing is granted me, everything has to be earned, not only the present and the future, but the past too — something after all which perhaps every human being has inherited, this too must be earned, it is perhaps the hardest work.”
Franz Kafka on being a Galitsyaner Jew, ‘Letters to Milena’, 1953 English Translation.
ive been trying for a while to find the right words to articulate the way goys, and especially the current-left goys, treat and talk the holocaust, how they see being a victim of this massive tragedy that destroyed over half a people as a mark of specialness, or privilege, how it grants you martyrdom for the cause of social justice- except when it's jews, of course, because then they're using their victimhood to manipulate people and are acting like it's only about them. and the way they fight over this whole idea of 'who suffered the most during the holocaust [except the jews]', as if the question of who is the biggest victim is a question of who takes the trophy for 'group to be most oppressed'. but anyway i just had the thought that goys seem to treat the holocaust as if it's the golden apple thrown by marx with the inscription 'to the most oppressed' going on. that's the best way i can describe it.
martyrdom is a great way to put it
Blue Square Alliance’s March 2026 research report finds antisemitic attitudes have surged to their worst levels since tracking began in 2023
Two years ago, Blue Square Alliance research revealed that antisemitic attitudes had increased across the United States, driven by the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks and the war that followed. By mid-2024, that increase had plateaued. Our hope was that the plateau marked a turning point.
It did not.
The March 2026 US Antisemitism Landscape Survey, the largest ongoing tracking study of American attitudes on antisemitism, found that antisemitic attitudes rose again, reaching their worst levels since we began this research in June 2023. Conducted in the days immediately following the launch of the joint U.S.- Israel military operation against Iran, the survey captured a country in which antisemitic beliefs are spreading amid a deepening entanglement of Jewish identity with Middle East conflict.
The issue our research reveals is not simply one of more hate. It is one of more entrenched confusion and openness to believing harmful tropes, which in turn creates barriers to allyship. According to our tracking research, Americans are simultaneously growing more likely to call antisemitism a serious problem yet becoming less likely to take action against it.
as usual, the most concerning statistics come from the younger demographics.
Operation Solomon • Jewish Museum London
Ethiopian Jews being airlifted from Addis Ababa to Israel on May 24, 1991, as part of Operation Solomon. This covert operation involved 34 jumbo jets of the Israeli air force, hundreds of soldiers and the evacuation of 14,200 Jews. It was prompted by the worsening political situation in Ethiopia under the government of Mengistu Haile Mariam.
A Jewish community was first established in Ethiopia sometime after the destruction of the First Temple in around 587 BCE. The origin of the Ethiopian Jews is unclear though most believe that they are the descendants of King Solomon and Queen Sheba. Throughout its history, the community has been referred to by numerous names like ‘’Falasha’’ which means ‘’stranger’’ which shows how their Christian neighbours viewed them as strangers in their land and ‘’Beta Israel’’ which literally means ‘’house of Israel’’. This name shows the community’s own deep connection to the Torah and their faith.
The Beta Israel exodus to Israel began in the early 1980s, after a coup in the Ethiopian government led to the death of 2500 Jews, directly followed by Ethiopia forbidding the practice of Judaism and the teaching of Hebrew. This was the start of various operations conducted by Israel to rescue the Beta Israel community.

This is what makes me so insane - the Netanyahu government is absolutely pushing through horrific legislation and doing whatever it can because the elections are going to be a struggle and the Israeli public is sick of it, and so shit like this will help give them a boost!
Why would Democrats want to help Netanyahu this way? I don't get it!
I keep thinking of Adam Schiff (lol)’s line in early Law & Order. “People will forget this outrage, as soon as the next outrage hits the front page!”
"Mizrachim are brown and therefore less educated that must be why there are no antizionist mizrachim. Those smart white ashkenazim who are antizionist simply know better"
HELLO?!
This shit doesnt sound racist to them because in their ideology is so steeped in white saviorism this is a compliment to them
Even as the amendment was overwhelmingly rejected, the vote underscores the anti-Israel mood within the Democratic party is growing
This kind of thing was the real goal of October 7th. I puzzled over the strategy of it for years because I couldn’t understand what could possibly be gained by an incursion that could not hold onto land and would obviously result in the deaths of tens of thousands of one’s people. I didn’t understand how Sinwar would think it would succeed.
Of course, he didn’t. He knew they were never going to get to Al-Aqsa, and that they wouldn’t hold the Otef for more than a few days. He knew what would follow. So why did he do it?
To splash Palestine onto the world’s front pages and screens, to shift the Overton window, and eventually to cause the ground to shift enough to have real consequences. Like this one.
for a long time, I recoiled at “pro-Palestinian” being equated to “anti-Jewish,” and tbh I still don’t like it because this isn’t a zero sum game, and Palestinians should have safety and dignity, but unfortunately at this point, it’s naive to pretend that the movement as it stands isn’t inextricably tangled with anti-Jewish and destructive beliefs and tactics. Palestinians should also have better allies. the Democrats who aligned with Massie here are indicative of the whole issue, as this was nothing but a symbolic vote, appeasement of extremists, and, had it passed, actually would have harmed Palestinians and hindered humanitarian aid, all in an effort to punish Israel.
Hamas has run one of the most devastating and successful PR campaigns of all time. they knew they couldn’t win by force, that the brutality of 10/7 would stoke a war, and that the Israeli government would react the way it has. they anticipated that the worldwide reaction to the slaughter they carried out would not be particularly sympathetic to their victims. why didn’t they just immediately release the hostages? because they needed those bargaining chips to serve this agenda, and they realized that the hostages had no value to the rest of the world (as they were immediately dehumanized, posters torn down, plight disregarded), that it would cause pain to Israel and Jews while deadlocking negotiations. they knew Gazan casualties would be significant, that the military action would be exactly what it was, and they decided that was worthwhile collateral damage. the strategy was never success through warfare, it was success through the global response. demonizing and isolating Israel and launching an effective campaign of psychological warfare (and provoking direct attacks) on world Jewry were the goals. look at how they thanked students at universities for supporting their “resistance.” with the help of countless organizations, celebrities/influencers/activists/academics/politicians, online virality, bad faith state actors, and age old antisemitism making a swift, staggering comeback, they achieved those primary objectives. this has shifted every political metric, and has molded, and even radicalized, younger generations into anti-Israel and antisemitic ideology. it will have ramifications for decades to come. it couldn’t have worked out better. they knew exactly what they were igniting.

saw this really horrible comment today about how “Jewish women love to lie about rape,” and yesterday I saw what’s basically the inverse, “Jewish men love sexual assault, the majority of them are predators and rapists” along with the “61% of Israeli men” disinformation, and none of this is new - both are actually very, very old, both Jewish women being portrayed as liars and “harlots,” and Jewish men being portrayed as innately predatory - but it’s so disturbing seeing the way it’s gaining traction, and knowing that quite a bit of it in these awful posts is stemming from denial of the atrocities of 10/7 and of what was inflicted on the hostages (and those crimes were perpetrated against Israeli victims regardless of gender).
I was looking something up the other day and got a result from the 1930s subreddit, and there was a comment that had been removed by the moderators, but to which someone had replied (and that was still up) telling them they were an antisemite for saying that Jews are the cause of all the abuses in Hollywood and that they’d never generalize like that about any other group of people. this doesn’t mean there haven’t been abusive Jewish men, especially in positions of power, there certainly have been, and we know who they are, and the Jewish community as a whole overwhelmingly condemns them, but their individual behavior is used to smear and demonize world Jewry in a particular way. it’s scary seeing the stereotypes and suspicions and vitriolic attitudes continue to grow.
I’m not really going anywhere useful with this, but it occurred to me how often we mention that Jews are only 0.2% of the world population, and how few people ever really know or even interact with Jewish people. sometimes I wonder if it wouldn’t be more useful to point out that the majority, 99.8% of the world is non-Jewish. of course it’s easy to believe such terrible things and to scapegoat such a small group, and of course it’s almost impossible to combat it or to remove it from centuries’ worth of ingrained culture.
they can't have it both ways. If the majority of Jewish men are rapists, then Jewish women are probably being raped; if Jewish women are lying about being raped, then most Jewish men are probably not out there raping them.
What dumbfuckery.
Don't be silly, everybody knows we have no interiority or culture of our and only exist in interactions with nonjews where we maliciously manipulate them for no coherent reason
to understand how the libel works there are two necessary points: 1. antisemitism is self-sustaining even when its positions are entirely contradictory. this is why we see a lot of arguments that negate themselves, yet still get repeated and used as scapegoating/conspiracies and reiterated as true. logic is not a factor, it's whatever can twist and shapeshift to hate Jews. 2. the lust libel is based upon the belief that Jews intentionally target, manipulate, harm, and attack non-Jews. it's understood that it's non-Jews who are going to be victims of the Jews' wicked scheming. thus, Jewish women would be seen as lying about guiltless non-Jewish men, and Jewish men would be seen as preying upon virtuous non-Jewish women. it doesn't matter if this doesn't make sense. The Jew™️ in these scenarios is not human, but a malevolent entity, a threat against non-Jewish life and happiness and peace.
