I've enjoyed Honestly for a while now and meant to subscribe to The Free Press, but being a 'world-class' procrastinator, I've not followed through until now. When I read of this incident, it became compulsory for me to immediately subscribe. Stay safe and keep going.
Regarding the claim by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre that she misheard the question about the rise in anti-Semitism, my impression is that she was being sincere. I'm no fan of the Dems or of her performance in general, but in this specific case I suspect she actually unwittingly dropped the ball. I attribute her screwup less to some auditory deficit and more to a kind of psychological jerk reflex to what she assumed was a question posed to challenge Bidens so called Israel bias.
I have yet to hear a world leader say that in order to save Palestinians in Gaza, Hamas should immediately lay down their weapons, release the hostages and surrender. It would save a lot of lives f they did.
I appreciate your article, please remember there are a lot of us out here that support Israel and are doing what we can to support the Jewish community.
I read these articles and I have to ask the question that none of the writers seems to want to answer. Why on earth do so many Jewish people openly support the very people and institutions that are throwing them under the bus. The hate spews from the left and the Jewish people cannot seem to put an end to there support for these people. Bari, can you explain this, I’m extremely puzzled.
Jordan relinquished its claim to the West Bank in 1988, after which and especially in the 2000s, the Jordanian government has been arbitrarily and without notice withdrawing Jordanian nationality from Jordanian citizens of Palestinian origin, making them stateless

I can't for the very life of me understand` what is going on with the world. As the days go on, the media tide is turning more and more sympathetic to the Palestinian side. Antisemitism is not on the rise, but more visible, something frowned upon before this.
When you think of all of the contributions to this world by Jews, in many different disciplines, one would think that we would be held in higher esteem. Not to be. Don't know the answer, but we need to fight back. Perhaps if our skin had more melanin, we would be better off.
Karine Jean-Pierre is just a mouth piece for this administration. I really do not think she personally has an opinion on anything. She turns to a page and gives the talking points. To me, she is mouthing the view of the administration. So when she speaks, she is just saying what the powers that be are really thinking. Now, I am not Jewish but for the life of me I do not understand why any Jew votes democratic or reads the nyt.
The murder of James Byrd was a hate crime. Bombing a synagogue is a hate crime. Most would agree. But what exactly constitutes a hate crime? I feel like the severity of some crimes are underemphasized when we consider everything a hate crime.
Like Matt Damon said about sexual assault: There's a difference between rape and a pat on the butt. If we categorize everything as sexual assault, how will anyone know the difference?
What does a 1350% increase in "hate crimes" even mean? Is it a massive increase in murders? Church bombings? Or is it graffiti? I'm no Matt Damon, but there's a difference between James Byrd's murder and the graffiti on your walls.
Couldn't agree more that tips have gotten completely out of hand. I've written about it too:

As an American Jew, one question keeps coming to my mind …. Why didn’t every Israeli who was slaughtered on October 7th have an AR-15?

Hatred tends to corrode the container in which it is carried.
This Newsweek article is abhorrent... did someone say racism??

I would like to thank Bari and her staff for bravely defending Israel and Jewish people against all anti-Semites pretending to be humanists

When will you all stop voting for people who hate you?
Will you stop voting for Democrats?
