What does being Jewish have to do with any of this and why was it brought up in the article?

Being Jewish isn’t some sort of shield that gives you special rights over anyone else.

>>whatwh+(OP)
Because if you write something that gives nazis glee and they weaponize it against their Jewish opponents, it should give you pause.

It was brought up because they are receiving explicitly antisemitic content from the same people who loved and weaponized Tan's tweet.

>>whatwh+(OP)
It simply says the Jewish members received antisemitic letters. Those things are related.

>>whatwh+(OP)
No, but we have over 2000 years of cited, verified, and documented hate and horrific actions towards Jews because they are Jews.

This does have to be included as a possible contributing factor to this death threat.

(There's 2 types of bigots: one type will plainly use terrible language up front to let everyone know what they think. The other type will couch their hate in plausible deniable language so you're really not 100% sure.)

Why is this consideration not given to any other religion?

>>whatwh+k8
I would give this consideration to anyone who is receiving borderline threatening, discriminatory language from an upset mob.

A better question to ask yourself is why Jewish people seem to continually end up in this situation: on the receiving end of antisemitic abuse.

Political stuff pisses people off, but people who are pissed at Jew can always just trot out the antisemitic and dehumanizing statements... Such threatening comments have proved credible enough of the time to make the person on the receiving end really second guess about their safety.

What does being Jewish have to do with receiving antisemitic hate mail shortly after October 7, a brutal antisemitic atrocity committed against Jews? Are you asking that in good faith?

>>mvdtnz+4a
The October 7th terrorist attack was aimed at Israel.

Are you asking your question in good faith?

>>whatwh+Ua
In Israel, against whom?

>>mvdtnz+ub
Israelis.

>>smolde+R2
But is it related to tangs tweet? Prove that it is. Not just well this public figure got hate mail and also this tech ceo sent a mean tweet.

>>whatwh+Eb
Oh you're so close to getting it.
