So, I was talking with a friend. And I am struggling with non-Jewish friends (mostly on the far left, I have to admit) who were vocal and heartbroken after the #Parkland and #Pulse massacres, but have been silent since the #Pittsburgh shooting. 1/5

And I want to give the (depressing) benefit of the doubt that it is because we have become inured to these sorts of shootings. But, I am afraid that there is something deeper hidden there. 2/5

I don’t tend to cry wolf about
#Antisemitism; I was actually too Pollyanna-ish about American anti Semitism until the last couple of years. But the silence from these friends feels pretty deafening right now. 3/51 reply 8 retweets 43 likesShow this thread -

All this to say—stand with us now. Be vocal. Tell us that this massacre is political, that it is tragic, that it hurts as much as any other. Check in with us. Post what you’ve posted about other shootings. Because we are scared and hurting and we need you now. 5/5

I stand with you and Jews. I’m facilitating a group of other non-Jews this Sunday to come together to grieve #TreeOfLifeSynagogue and plan next steps we can take to combat antisemitism. If you know non-Jews in the Seattle area, please send them my way!https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1058143429882859521?s=21 …
