Especially for Jairong, who has been worried about how to fight the Jew-haters, especially the unthinking ones of his generation:
… and one of the sharpest voices in the fight against post-October 7th anti-Semitism, previewing her new book ð˜ð˜ªð˜¨ð˜©ð˜µð˜ªð˜¯ð˜¨ ð˜µð˜©ð˜¦ ð˜ð˜¢ð˜µð˜¦: 𘈠ð˜ð˜¢ð˜¯ð˜¥ð˜£ð˜°ð˜°ð˜¬ ð˜§ð˜°ð˜³ ð˜‘ð˜¦ð˜¸ð˜´ ð˜œð˜¯ð˜¥ð˜¦ð˜³ ð˜šð˜ªð˜¦ð˜¨ð˜¦. Her advice when someone calls you a racist Zionist? Don’t get defensive. ð…ð¥ð¢ð© ðð¡ðž ð¬ðœð«ð¢ð©ð. “ð˜‹ð˜°ð˜¯’𘵠ð˜´ð˜¢ð˜º, ð˜µð˜©ð˜¢ð˜µ’𘴠𘢠ð˜¥ð˜ªð˜´ð˜¨ð˜¶ð˜´ð˜µð˜ªð˜¯ð˜¨ ð˜µð˜©ð˜ªð˜¯ð˜¨ ð˜µð˜° ð˜´ð˜¢ð˜º ð˜µð˜° ð˜®ð˜¦, ð˜©ð˜°ð˜¸ ð˜¥ð˜¢ð˜³ð˜¦ ð˜ºð˜°ð˜¶, ð˜°ð˜§ ð˜¤ð˜°ð˜¶ð˜³ð˜´ð˜¦ ð˜’𘮠ð˜¯ð˜°ð˜µ 𘢠ð˜³ð˜¢ð˜¤ð˜ªð˜´ð˜µ. ð˜šð˜¢ð˜º ð˜ªð˜¯ð˜´ð˜µð˜¦ð˜¢ð˜¥: ð˜³ð˜¢ð˜¤ð˜ªð˜´ð˜® ð˜ªð˜´ ð˜µð˜³ð˜¶ð˜ð˜º ð˜¥ð˜³ð˜¦ð˜¢ð˜¥ð˜§ð˜¶ð˜ ð˜¢ð˜¯ð˜¥ ð˜’𘮠ð˜¢ð˜¯ ð˜¢ð˜¯ð˜µð˜ª-ð˜³ð˜¢ð˜¤ð˜ªð˜´ð˜µ ð˜«ð˜¶ð˜´ð˜µ ð˜ð˜ªð˜¬ð˜¦ ð˜ºð˜°ð˜¶. ð˜šð˜° ð˜’𘮠ð˜³ð˜¦ð˜¢ð˜ð˜ð˜º ð˜·ð˜¦ð˜³ð˜º ð˜´ð˜¶ð˜³ð˜±ð˜³ð˜ªð˜´ð˜¦ð˜¥ ð˜µð˜©ð˜¢ð˜µ ð˜ºð˜°ð˜¶ ð˜´ð˜¶ð˜±ð˜±ð˜°ð˜³ð˜µ ð˜µð˜©ð˜¦ ð˜—ð˜¢ð˜ð˜¦ð˜´ð˜µð˜ªð˜¯ð˜ªð˜¢ð˜¯ð˜´ ð˜¢ð˜¨ð˜¢ð˜ªð˜¯ð˜´ð˜µ ð˜ð˜´ð˜³ð˜¢ð˜¦ð˜”. Then she loaded the rhetorical ammunition: “ð˜›ð˜©ð˜¦ ð˜—ð˜¢ð˜ð˜¦ð˜´ð˜µð˜ªð˜¯ð˜ªð˜¢ð˜¯ð˜´ ð˜³ð˜¦ð˜¨ð˜¶ð˜ð˜¢ð˜³ð˜ð˜º ð˜¤ð˜¢ð˜ð˜ ð˜µð˜©ð˜¦ ð˜‘ð˜¦ð˜¸ð˜´ ð˜µð˜©ð˜¦ ð˜¥ð˜¦ð˜´ð˜¤ð˜¦ð˜¯ð˜¥ð˜¢ð˜¯ð˜µð˜´ ð˜°ð˜§ ð˜±ð˜ªð˜¨ð˜´ ð˜¢ð˜¯ð˜¥ ð˜®ð˜°ð˜¯ð˜¬ð˜¦ð˜ºð˜´. ð˜›ð˜©ð˜¦ð˜º ð˜¢ð˜¤ð˜¤ð˜¶ð˜´ð˜¦ ð˜µð˜©ð˜¦ ð˜‘ð˜¦ð˜¸ð˜ªð˜´ð˜© ð˜±ð˜¦ð˜°ð˜±ð˜ð˜¦ ð˜°ð˜§ ð˜£ð˜¦ð˜ªð˜¯ð˜¨ 𘢠ð˜¥ð˜¦ð˜®ð˜°ð˜¯ð˜ªð˜¤ ð˜°ð˜¤ð˜µð˜°ð˜±ð˜¶ð˜´ ð˜µð˜©ð˜¢ð˜µ ð˜¤ð˜°ð˜¯ð˜µð˜³ð˜°ð˜ð˜´ ð˜µð˜©ð˜¦ ð˜¦ð˜¯ð˜µð˜ªð˜³ð˜¦ ð˜¸ð˜°ð˜³ð˜ð˜¥. ð˜ˆð˜¯ð˜¥ ð˜µð˜©ð˜¦ð˜º ð˜µð˜¦ð˜¢ð˜¤ð˜© ð˜µð˜©ð˜¦ð˜ªð˜³ ð˜¤ð˜©ð˜ªð˜ð˜¥ð˜³ð˜¦ð˜¯ ð˜µð˜©ð˜¢ð˜µ ð˜µð˜©ð˜¦ð˜ªð˜³ ð˜©ð˜ªð˜¨ð˜©ð˜¦ð˜´ð˜µ ð˜¨ð˜°ð˜¢ð˜ ð˜ªð˜´ ð˜µð˜° ð˜¬∗ð˜ð˜ ð˜¢ð˜ð˜ ð˜‘ð˜¦ð˜¸ð˜´”. The question that ends the exchange: “ð˜ˆð˜¯ð˜¥ ð˜ªð˜§ ð˜ºð˜°ð˜¶’ð˜³ð˜¦ 𘢠ð˜¡ð˜ªð˜°ð˜¯ð˜ªð˜´ð˜µ, ð˜¤ð˜¢ð˜¯ ð˜ ð˜¤ð˜°ð˜¶ð˜¯ð˜µ ð˜°ð˜¯ ð˜ºð˜°ð˜¶ ð˜µð˜° ð˜¥ð˜¦ð˜¯ð˜°ð˜¶ð˜¯ð˜¤ð˜¦ ð˜¢ð˜ð˜ ð˜°ð˜§ ð˜µð˜©ð˜¢ð˜µ?” This is what’s been missing from the Jewish response to the tidal wave of campus harassment, workplace hostility, and social media mob attacks since October 7th. Not more defensiveness. Not more “let me explain the nuance” hand-wringing. ðŽðŸðŸðžð§ð¬ðž. Make ðð¡ðžð¦ answer for the ideology they’re defending. Force ðð¡ðžð¦ to explain why they’re allied with a movement whose founding charter calls for the genocide of Jews. Phillips wrote this book after visiting Jewish communities in Britain, America, and Australia that were “struggling to cope with the relentless onslaught of lies, defamation and attacks” since October 7th (ð˜‘ð˜¦ð˜¸ð˜ªð˜´ð˜© ð˜Šð˜©ð˜³ð˜°ð˜¯ð˜ªð˜¤ð˜ð˜¦). The book covers how to handle verbal ambushes, psychological isolation, and what she calls the paralyzing “red mist” of anger that prevents effective response. Her closing line: “ð˜‹ð˜°ð˜¯’𘵠ð˜¨ð˜¦ð˜µ ð˜´ð˜°ð˜³ð˜¦, ð˜¨ð˜¦ð˜µ ð˜´ð˜®ð˜¢ð˜³ð˜µ”. ð’ðð¨ð© ðšð©ð¨ð¥ð¨ð ð¢ð³ð¢ð§ð ðŸð¨ð« ðžð±ð¢ð¬ðð¢ð§ð . ð’ððšð«ð ð¦ðšð¤ð¢ð§ð ðð¡ðžð¦ ððžðŸðžð§ð ð°ð¡ðšð ðð¡ðžð²’ð«ðž ðšðœðð®ðšð¥ð¥ð² ð¬ð®ð©ð©ð¨ð«ðð¢ð§ð . |
