Judge orders University of Pennsylvania to provide list of Jews to federal agency

"While we acknowledge the important role of the EEOC to investigate discrimination, we also have an obligation to protect the rights of our employees. We continue to believe that requiring Penn to create lists of Jewish faculty and staff, and to provide personal contact information, raises serious privacy and First Amendment concerns. The University does not maintain employee lists by religion," the university's statement read…

Opinion | Trump’s bloodbath has already begun - The Washington Post

"Until this week, I had no idea I was a self-hating Jew. 

 I light candles and say blessings on Shabbat. I saw my kids through their b'nai mitzvah and took them to Israel. I volunteer with my synagogue. 

 But — who knew? — I actually hate my religion. What's more, the 70 percent of American Jews who vote Democratic also hate Judaism. 

 So says that noted Talmudic scholar, Rabbi Donald J. Trump..."

White House condemns Fox News for ‘standing up on behalf of hate’ after host attacks CNN anchors’ Jewish heritage | CNN Business

The rebuke came in response to Mark Levin, a right-wing talk personality and Fox News weekend host, who raged against CNN anchors Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper in recent days while ranting on his nationally syndicated radio show.

In fact, Blitzer's parents were survivors of the Nazi-era concentration camps and all four of his grandparents were murdered during the Holocaust. Levin added that he believed CNN was "filled with a lot of self-hating Jews."…

Why Always the Jews? (w/Mike Rothschild)

Who could be a better guide through the fever dream of modern anti-semitism—the socialism of fools—than a scrappy young scion of the House of Rothschild? How has Mike, this mysterious insider—visible on CNN but a seeming ghost in real life—used his inheritance and connections to score book deals with the Fake News Media? Will he redeem his family name?

Just joking! Author and friend of the pod Mike Rothschild is no relation to the banking family that has lived rent-free in the minds of antisemites and conspiracy theorists for over two centuries now. He is the author of 2021’s The Storm Is Upon Us: How QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and Conspiracy Theory of Everything. His new book out less that two years later, is ​​Jewish Space Lasers: The Rothschilds and 200 Years of Conspiracy Theories. Mike joins us now from his summer palace in the South of France, um, actually his home office in Los Angeles to discuss the very stupid but dangerous groundswell of Jew hatred now filling our feeds.

Nonbinary genders beyond 'male' and 'female' would have been no surprise to ancient rabbis, who acknowledged tumtums, androgynos and aylonot

Rabbinic literature, the body of texts written by Jewish leaders in antiquity, includes several other categories. In these texts, a person with both sets of external genitalia is called an "androgynos," a term borrowed from Greek. A person with neither is called a "tumtum," and a person who loses his male sexual organs is called a "saris." There is also a term for someone whose sex assigned at birth is female but does not develop to female sexual maturity – in some cases, because they develop "male" traits: an "aylonit."…
