'"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.'
reading a post written by a woman who just went through the terrible experience of…meeting an Israeli and having them act like a human being, and she’s very distressed about it, and everyone in the comments is agreeing with her and talking about how they would have reacted negatively in the presence of an Israeli.
the op is also upset because the Israeli woman told her that her name sounded Hebrew when asking where she’s from. her name is Zarah.
people are beyond reason. interacting with Israelis or Jews and having to see them as ordinary people breaks their brains and the only way they know how to respond is to lock in to the bigotry that sustains their ideology.
if the Israeli woman in this anecdote had treated her badly or been racist towards her because she’s Muslim, or assumed she supported terrorism, that would also not be okay, but that’s not what happened. yet somehow profiling Israelis for existing in public is fine.
i wonder if my goyish friends would understand the sheer dread in the pit of my stomach when i saw this.
how many jews have been killed now?
who else wants me dead?
how will people (who i once thought would be friends, who i marched alongside, who i trusted) justify my death?
when will i need to flee?
i wonder if i should explain it to them. i think they would trust me. (i hope they would trust me.) maybe i could help them not fall into the pit of hatred of jews (are they already in the pit? would they want me dead? my cousin who goes to camp in israel every year? my great aunt who made aliyah?) but i don't want to do that. it's tiring. it's exhausting. and it's even harder when it's not faceless icons on a screen, but people i care about, who i value.
i wonder if i knew any of the dead. if i knew someone who knew any of the dead. i wonder if there are any dead. i wonder if it's just someone saying there should be dead. i wonder when that became a "just". i wonder if i'll need to flee to israel. i wonder when i'll need to flee to israel. i wonder if i will flee to israel. i wonder how they'll go about killing us. i wonder if they'll use all the inventions of modernity, i wonder if there will be parking lots like there were at auschwitz. i wonder if there will be death camps or just pogroms. i wonder if we'll be allowed to call them pogroms, or if we'll be accused of exaggerating, of lying for secret jew purposes.
i wonder what those secret jew purposes would even be. survival? being able to pray in peace? what is our secret nefarious goal, our hidden aim?
having goyish friends understand the dread in the pit of our stomachs when we see that jumblr is trending?
it is so embarrassing and demoralizing that the left cannot seem to dig up a candidate to endorse that isn’t either virulently antisemitic, virulently racist, virulently misogynistic, or a combination of all of the above. the way to combat the right is not by putting in representatives who are every bit as repugnant but in a different hat. racism dressed up in progressive trappings is still racism.
I really wish people wouldn't look at extremely emaciated celebrities and go "she looks like a Holocaust survivor!" choose any other way to express concern ffs. our generational trauma is not your entertainment.
the only time it's ever been appropriate to say someone looked like a Holocaust survivor was when hostages were released after having been tortured and starved, and I know nobody saying this gave a damn about any of them. find another analogy.
this man doubled down to every person who challenged him. he is an American leftist who hates the Democrats and fanboys for Hasan, unsurprisingly. a prime example of the people who simply won't listen.
Cryptic statements linked to Holocaust denial have surfaced in yearbooks at several schools across Canada and the U.S.
A Toronto District School Board high school is reprinting and revising yearbooks after cryptic remarks tied to antisemitic internet culture were published in its 2025-26 yearbook, prompting an apology from the school and renewed questions about whether schools are prepared to recognize coded hate speech.
In a June letter to students, parents and guardians, Lawrence Park Collegiate Institute’s principal, Lorraine Sutherns, said the school had recently learned that “unacceptable remarks” were included in this year’s yearbook.
“What first appeared to be innocuous comments to the students and staff who reviewed the content, has since been identified as antisemitic language,” Sutherns wrote. “There is absolutely no room in our school for hate or discrimination of any kind, and it will not be tolerated.”
TDSB spokesperson Ryan Bird said in a statement that the phrases themselves were not overt slurs, which is precisely why they escaped notice.
Based on the images The CJN saw, one published phrase read: “One baker can only bake so many cookies.” A second appeared as: “Most likely to receive 7 thousand dollars.”
Bird said the phrases did not immediately register as hateful to reviewers. “It wasn’t like blatant hate that someone skimmed by or anything like that,” he said. “Someone had to explain it to me.”
The “baker” line appears to be a variation on a Holocaust-denial meme sometimes framed around “cookies.” The Anti-Defamation League has documented the “six million cookies” phrase as a dog whistle in which extremists use “cookies” as a stand-in for Jews and cast doubt on the number of Jews murdered in the Holocaust. The ADL says the phrase has circulated in extremist spaces for years and was popularized on far-right internet forums.
One student familiar with the references, who chose to remain anonymous, explained the logic of the Holocaust-distorting analogy. “If you have a factory and the factory can only churn out this many cookies a day, then how could it be six million cookies?” He described it as “a form of Holocaust denial veiled in like weird internet slang.”
The second Lawrence Park phrase — “Most likely to receive 7 thousand dollars” — is more context-dependent. Bird said he had been told it appeared to refer to allegations that the Israeli government had paid social media influencers to post positively about Israel. “Someone had to explain it to me,” Bird said, adding that, taken alone, he initially thought the interpretation was “a bit of a stretch,” but that “combined together” with the other phrase, it appeared the student was deliberate in his messaging.
There is a public record behind some recent online debate about Israeli government-backed influencer campaigns. U.S. foreign-agent filings and subsequent reporting have described a campaign involving Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Havas Media Group Germany and Bridges Partners, including influencer-related spending under the name “Esther Project”. Reporting by JTA and the Jerusalem Post said the campaign was designed to manage a U.S.-based influencer network, while Responsible Statecraft magazine reported that the spending amounted to an estimated US$7,000 per post. That figure, however, has been disputed by pro-Israel media watchdog HonestReporting, which argued the filings did not establish a fixed per-post payment and included broader production, travel, editing and management costs.
Although a reference to a foreign government’s public-relations campaign is not inherently antisemitic, when paired with a Holocaust-denial dog whistle, the “$7,000” phrase can be read differently, Bird told The CJN.
As one parent put it, the “$7,000 line is meant to convey the idea that Zionists are paying people to spread propaganda.”
Bird said Lawrence Park’s yearbook process involved a student yearbook committee and a staff member assigned to review the content before it was sent to the publisher. “This is something that [is] dealt with at the school level,” he said. “School staff would review the content prior to publishing, and then it would be sent off to the publisher to print.” But when the comments were seen, he said, they did not “trigger any concern at that time because it was not clear what it was referencing.”
The ambiguity of the phrases is a hallmark of modern extremist internet slang, experts on antisemitism say: phrases are crafted to be legible to insiders while remaining deniable to everyone else.
The school said it would reprint yearbooks that had not yet been distributed and provide revised copies at no additional cost to students or families who wanted to exchange copies they had already received. Students who had already collected signatures and personal messages could also bring in their yearbooks for revision so those messages could be preserved while the offending material was removed, according to the letter.
“We sincerely apologize that these comments were included and for their impact,” Sutherns wrote, adding that the school was taking “all necessary steps with regard to student discipline” and that social work supports were available to students.
The larger trend of coded Holocaust denial in yearbooks
The Lawrence Park case appears to be part of a wider pattern this spring in which Holocaust-denial references and other coded antisemitic messages have been printed in school yearbooks before adults recognized their meaning.
CBC News reported June 17 that graduating students at two Canadian high schools, including Lawrence Park, had submitted Holocaust-denial quotes in their yearbooks and that the quotes were published before the schools took action.
At West Bedford High School in Nova Scotia, a yearbook quote included the phrase “6 million? Nah, 271k,” according to a report by the National Post. The school asked students to return their yearbooks so they could be reprinted without what the principal described to parents as “antisemitic and polarizing content.”
The number “271k” is a Holocaust-denial code. The Anti-Defamation League says it refers to the false claim that only about 271,000 Jews died in the Holocaust, rather than the historical consensus that Nazi Germany and its collaborators murdered approximately six million Jews. The Arolsen Archives in Germany, the largest archive on victims and survivors of Nazi persecution, whose records are frequently misused by Holocaust deniers, has said the document used to support the “271k” claim refers only to death certificates issued for some concentration-camp prisoners and excludes millions of Jews murdered in extermination camps, ghettos, mass shootings and other Nazi killing operations.
A similar incident was reported in Pennsylvania. CBS Pittsburgh reported June 9 that Franklin Regional School District faced backlash after an antisemitic quote was printed in a high school yearbook. District officials said a student faced discipline after the quote referenced a figure commonly associated with Holocaust conspiracy theories.
Another yearbook incident surfaced in New Jersey later in June, though it was less coded. East Brook Middle School in Paramus recalled yearbooks after a photo of Adolf Hitler as an infant was printed in a student baby-picture section. The school principal told families the image was “unacceptable” and that Hitler “represents hatred, antisemitism, and the horrors of the Holocaust,” according to local media reports.
Holocaust denial on the rise
The yearbook cases also fit into broader concerns about Holocaust denial, distortion and Nazi-related harassment in schools. A 2025 report commissioned by the Office of the Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism, based on a survey of 599 Jewish parents in Ontario, documented 781 antisemitic incidents in K-12 schools between October 2023 and January 2025. The report estimated those incidents were directly experienced by at least 10 per cent of Ontario’s roughly 30,000 Jewish school-age children.
The same report found that more than 40 per cent of reported antisemitic incidents involved Nazi salutes, claims that Hitler “should have finished the job” or similar anti-Jewish hate. It also found that 9.2 per cent of responses describing what made an incident antisemitic involved Holocaust denial, minimization of the Holocaust or claims that Jews use the Holocaust to justify their actions.
The problem is compounded by gaps in Holocaust knowledge. A 2018 Canadian Holocaust Knowledge and Awareness Survey by the Azrieli Foundation and the Claims Conference found that 54 per cent of Canadians surveyed did not know six million Jews were killed in the Holocaust. Among millennials, 62 per cent did not know six million Jews were murdered, and 52 per cent could not name a concentration camp or ghetto.
Revised yearbooks
At Lawrence Park, efforts continue to reprint and repair yearbooks, despite the school being closed for the summer.
“We recognize that many students have already collected signatures and messages from friends. Students who have signed yearbooks may bring them in for revision so that personal messages and signatures can be preserved while the unacceptable content is removed,” Sutherns explained in the letter.
And like, the people being like "oh i bet they said Zionists" or "they were probably going after the zionists" like, do you think they were targeting some mythical "zionist only" synagogue that only let in "bad jews," so when these girls like, rammed their car into the building only the evil terrible Jews everyone hates would be killed? Even if that HAD actually been their intention and the distinction actually mattered in any way???
No, it was just a regular fucking synagogue filled with a mix of Jews with various opinions that these Nazis did not give a shit about, just like the Nazis in the comments dont either. Because were all the same to them.
Second last comment sums it up. They see as vermin. Always have, apparently always will.
Dutch police dispersed crowds in The Hague after Holocaust-related abuse, while separate post-match disorder in London left a police officer
Videos circulating on social media showed a crowd gathered in the Dutch city’s Schilderswijk district following France’s 2-0 victory on Thursday evening. People could be heard chanting “All Jews are gay” and “Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas” while Palestinian flags were waved.
Local reports said community volunteers initially attempted to disperse the crowd before Dutch police arrived in large numbers, bringing the unrest to an end less than an hour after the match.
Claims circulating on social media that the crowd had gathered outside accommodation used by Israeli tourists could not be substantiated. Footage from the scene appeared to show demonstrators outside a health clinic rather than a hotel or guesthouse.
There is no suggestion that the events in the Netherlands were connected to a separate disorder in London, beyond both taking place after the same World Cup match.
In London, Metropolitan Police officers were called to Edgware Road after crowds gathered and blocked traffic following the final whistle.
The force said the situation “escalated with the group throwing bottles and setting off fireworks.”
One police officer was taken to hospital with head injuries after being struck by what officers believe was a glass bottle.
Four people were arrested on suspicion of violent disorder. No other injuries were reported.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “We will not tolerate such disorder on our streets, or attacks on our officers.
“We will be reviewing CCTV and video footage circulating on social media to ensure all those responsible are brought to justice.”
Westminster City Council leader Paul Swaddle condemned the violence and urged football supporters “to be respectful throughout the tournament”.
The crowd dispersed during the early hours of Friday morning, and Edgware Road reopened at around 1am.
West London Synagogue, which is situated on Edgware Road, has been contacted to establish whether the disorder caused any damage, disruption or security concerns.
The incidents came days after another World Cup-related antisemitic controversy, when the Wikipedia page of French referee François Letexier was falsely edited to claim he was Jewish following Argentina’s victory over Egypt, fuelling antisemitic conspiracy theories online.
ah yes, a totally normal reaction to a World Cup match is chanting, “Jews to the gas.”

The accounts that reblog my post about being spat on and abused irl for being Jewish with “well it’s justified cuz she probably supports Israel (even though we have no way of verifying that) and also she’s using white tears apparently :)” are like 70% queer AT LEAST. This is why I don’t feel safe or comfortable in queer spaces. If you are a queer Nazi you are a traitor and a horrible person. It is FUCKING RIDICULOUS how dangerously antisemitic the queer community has become, as a Jewish lesbian. You people are PRIVILEGED AND EMBARRASSING. In three years you won’t give a shit about this anymore because you will have moved on to the next issue-du-jour but us LGBTQ Jews will remember EXACTLY how the rest of the community treated us.
There is nothing progressive about Nazism and Judenhass
The map included ‘Little Palestine’ and ‘Little Egypt’, but not its Jewish, Irish and Italian enclaves
A New York City “neighbourhood passport,” created by the city’s official marketing group and available at libraries in the Big Apple for tourists, has been criticised after it excluded Jews from a map of the city’s immigrant neighbourhoods.
The map identifies 30 neighborhoods associated with New York’s “thriving international communities and cultures”, including “Little Palestine” (Bay Ridge, Brooklyn), “Little Egypt” (Astoria, Queens), “Little Pakistan” (Newkirk Plaza, Brooklyn), and multiple Chinatowns.
However, the graphic, which is sourced from the New York City Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, does not note any Jewish neighbourhoods, though the immigrant affairs office also doesn’t include official posters for “Little Palestine” or “Little Egypt”.
The lack of depiction of Jewish neighbourhoods, as well as Irish and Italian ones, has drawn criticism from local community members.
“They just couldn’t figure out how to represent 11 per cent of the city,” stated Avital Chizik-Goldschmidt, a writer and New York resident. “Couldn’t decipher where the Jews are from. Asked everyone. Huge riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.”
The map was intended to show parts of the city that have “substantial foreign-born populations from regions and countries around the world,” according to City Hall. “It does not highlight religious groups.”
It added that a map of Little Odessa depicts a neighbourhood with a substantial Jewish population.
“Also, no Italian or Irish enclaves in New York City? Interesting,” stated Karol Markowicz, a prominent, Jewish conservative columnist. “The two Staten Island flags look funnier the longer I look at this. Two small ethnic populations and absolutely no others in the whole of Staten Island.”
“The major Sephardi corridor of South Brooklyn, Syrian, Egyptian, Lebanese, and others, from the East side of Avenue J down toward Avenue V, gets left out completely,” added Isaac Choua, a board member of the Sephardic Jewish Brotherhood of America. “So does the Bukharian Jewish community in Queens, largely from Uzbekistan and Central Asia.
"The Brooklyn community is not some tiny side community.
“Flatbush, Midwood, and Gravesend alone have roughly 54,000 people living in Jewish households, comparable in size to the Pakistani community being recognised here.”
“This is not a small omission,” he went on. “It is one of New York’s most distinctive immigrant-descended Jewish communities, and it gets erased from the story. Weirdly enough, Zohran Mamdani’s office wanted to speak with me about this very issue and has not followed up since the election.”
However, others dismissed the purported controversy.
“The Chasidic neighbourhoods are overwhelmingly composed of American citizens, who have been here a long time,” said journalist Jesse Singal. “I don’t get this. It comes across like looking for something to get mad about.
"Could just as easily 180 this and be, ‘Oh, so you’re saying they aren’t quite American?”
Rabbi Mordechai Lightstone, a Chabad rabbi, added that he finds “the absence frustrating as well”.
“But what exactly would we call it and where?” he asked. “Little Israel? Surely not the right name for Borough Park, the largest enclave of Jews and Jewish culture. Doesn’t really work for the Upper West Side or the Lower East Side either.”
the argument is that these groups are fully assimilated over a century or more of history and no longer immigrants, which is true to an extent when speaking about generations of residents, but there are still tens of thousands of current Jewish immigrants (and others from the excluded groups) living in New York.
an Italian and Jewish New Yorker said: “it was so obvious that you could have included us here, and it felt like you made the choice not to.”
this may not have been malicious, but because of the sentence “it does not highlight religious groups,” this is relevant food for thought:
Harvey Yesno signed a statement accusing the rap trio of supporting terror groups, which they deny
Anti-Israel rap trio Kneecap have brought a defamation suit against a Canadian indigenous leader after he signed a letter objecting to their planned performances at venues on ancestral lands in the country.
Harvey Yesno of the Eabametoong First Nation was a signatory to a statement posted by the Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem, a pro-Israel group for indigenous communities globally.
Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin and JJ Ó Dochartaigh, known by their respective stage names as Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí, claim that the statement contained false and defamatory claims.
In particular, their suit centres on the allegation that it accused them of expressing support for the Hamas and Hezbollah terror groups and condoning antisemitism, which they deny.
O hAnnaidh was previously charged in the UK with a terror offence after a video which appeared to show him displaying a Hezbollah flag at a gig at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London, on November 21 2024, circulated online.
However, that case collapsed last September, with chief magistrate Paul Goldspring ruling the proceedings were “instituted unlawfully” as prosecutors had brought charges outside the required six-month time frame from the date of the alleged offence.
That ruling was later affirmed by the High Court, which rejected an appeal by the Crown Prosecution Service.
On Wednesday, an Irish court granted Kneecap’s legal counsel permission to serve notice of the suit on Yesno, in both Irish and English, in Ontario, Canada.
The group is suing for financial damages, claiming that the statement Yesno signed caused material damage to their reputation after it was widely picked up by media outlets.
Judge Cian Ferriter ruled that the group had an arguable case that they had been defamed in Ireland, allowing them to bring the suit in that jurisdiction, rather than in Canada.
He added that the three men’s reputations, as well as their identity with Irish language and culture, were “bound up” with Irish jurisdiction due to their citizenship and status as Irish public figures.
However, he did state that he was open to a prospective application from Yesno’s legal team to challenge the jurisdictional ruling.
the video “appeared to show” him waving the flag my ass
it’s also not the only time they’ve done hezbollah propaganda.
the deniability fans try to give him is that he was “just reading” it, which isn’t necessarily showing support. which is true. I’ve read terrorist propaganda. doing so doesn’t make a person pro-terrorist.
But posing for a photo op and lifting the book to show the title isn’t “just reading”. it’s an intentionally crafted photo of an deliberately framed moment, that was intentionally disseminated to an audience; it wasn’t just reading, there was a decision at every step, and a message that was meant to be conveyed.
You know when it comes to Graham Platner I’m glad that a lot of women on the left are finally waking up to how blatantly misogynistic a lot of leftist men truly are. They’re seeing the way these men are talking about Platner’s accuser: calling her a liar, calling her a “Zionist plant”, saying that she was asking for it, and a lot of women are rightfully horrified and fed up.
But I also think a lot of these women need to ask themselves a simple question: why were you ok with them doing this to Israeli women? When Hasan Piker said that he “didn’t care” if women were raped on Oct 7th, when they called Israeli women who came forward about their assaults liars, when they mocked the suffering of the hostages and said that Hamas “treated them well”, when they said they deserved it, when they joked that they were “too ugly to be raped”, where was your outrage over that behavior then? Why were you silent when it was Israeli women, and why did you think it would stop there?
I feel legitimately INSANE about Graham Platner. Like you really saw a man with a NAZI TATTOO and said let’s put him in the Senate! Meanwhile established and effective Dems like Dan Goldman and Adriano Espaillat are too close to AIPAC to stay in the House. Because by this calculation, they are more genocidal than THE MAN WITH A NAZI TATTOO.
I hope everyone involved in this catastrophe is kicked out of politics forever. We’re going to lose the Senate seat because of it. Eat shit, all of you.
