Adina M.

Adina M. Yoffie @adinayoffie.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The Israeli gov’t catastrophically fails to consider that antisemites have always been w/us, & what has largely decreased antisemitism post-WWII is the memory of same + societal taboos against a certain level of antisemitic speech + action in public.

Adina M. Yoffie @adinayoffie.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Another thing most people don’t get: it was fairly common in early modern Europe for non-Jews, incl.

Yay. 1276
