How worry should be about the antisemitisim in these days, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina and the U.S. (Miami)
I have nothing to add as MM, GAW, & mybat, have covered the bases.
Daven to HB”H,
passports etc. ready to go
not get too comfortable, Galut
I’ll suggest that one should be more worried about anti-semitism in Brazil and Argentina (where they have the descendants of Nazi’s who fled europe) and Venezuela, where they are led by ahmadinjead’s buddy, than in the United States, where there may be plenty of anti-semitism, but there are also better legal protections.
Just a guy, I think that the point is even in the US we shouldn’t let our guard down and we shouldn’t put our faith in the government.
Wow, what a serious topic i think every goy is a little antisemetic deep down even if they deny it.
Just-a-guy, I think with what is going on recently in the world. Especially with the media terrified to call this recent terrorist act in Ft. Hood for what it is, and bowing to the Jihadists, I’d be very concerned as a Jew in this country. Yes, so B’H there has been minimal Anti-Semitism, and we have to be very thankful that we have the USA to live in, and we can vote and go to schools and not be discrimantated against. but Anti-Semitism is out there!! When I think of Crown Heights, when Dinkins was in charge and didn’t do anything and let the rioters do what ever they wanted. The Police were scared to act. Things like that make you realize, that one shouldn’t feel too comfortable in Golus. Don’t ever let your guard down and rememeber that we are in America temporarily and this is not the true home of the Jews.
Mazca- why did you ask a question asking for people’s opinions if you don’t want answers. You asked, I gave an opinion, and now you misattribute thoughts I have to myself.
Since you ask why do I feel so secure in the United STates, I’ll answer again.
First, I never said I feel so secure. Please show me where in my short post I did. You asked about Venezuela, Brazil, Aregentina and the U.S. and I said that I think its better in the U.S.
Why do I think that? Well, we’ve had large communities of Yidden flourishing for years, we have Yidden (maybe not your kind of Yidden, but Yidden nonethteless) in prominent powerful political positions and throught private industry. Prominent Members of the U.S. Senate, house of representatives, U.S. Supreme Court are Jewish. How about in Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina.
If you don’t want to hear anyone’s answer, why ask a question.
Mybat- where did I say that we should be comfortable and flaunt anything? The original poster asked about Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela and the U.S. and I said I think the U.S. is better than the first three. That doesn’t mean the U.S. isn’t golus, or that Jews here shouldn’t be vigilant, it just addresses the initial post.
Do you disagree?
Mazca- I can no longer follow your train of thought vis a vis materialsitic society and whatnot.
