France's Jews Flee As Rioters Burn Shops To Chants Of 'Gas The Jews'
France’s politicians and community leaders have criticised the “intolerable” violence against Paris’ Jewish community, after a pro-Palestinian rally led to the vandalizing and looting of Jewish businesses and the burning of cars.
please please please spread this around, please speak up about this, please let everyone know that this is not okay, please please please protect my people from a second kristallnacht, please
Listen. I love my followers and my mutuals dearly. You know how occasionally I post something like ‘every Jew on this site has a list in their head of who reblogs what and who ignores posts about Jews’? I’m talking about this shit. I have been seeing things on my dash about the situation of Jews in France for over a year, but it’s coming from other Jews 99% of the time. Please stop ignoring this. This is literally history repeating itself and we can’t be the only ones calling it out again.
This is the first I’ve heard of this, and I’m flabbergasted! If you go and read the article it’s even worse; “anti-Jewish violence is seven times higher than in the 1990s, and 40% of racist violence is against Jews, despite them making up just 1% of the population.” I mean, holy crap! I know Tumblr is very US-centric but this definitely needs to be heard about!!

#SayHerName (7/22/15): Another transgender WOC has been found dead. 25-year old India Clark is the 10th trans woman this year (and the 9th TWOC) to be killed in the US, and it was sadly in my hometown. Details are still emerging, but the local media have been horrendous, refusing to call her by her name. The police are also refusing to identify her as trans or treat this as a hate crime.
Help us demand justice. Please signal boost the following event to uplift her name: Vigil and Rally for Justice for India Clark We will also be working to help the family raise funds for her funeral (more info on that soon.#staywoke #farfromover
She was beautiful. RIP!
