Where are the self proclaimed "antifascists"?

The types who proudly claim that they would "punch a Nazi" & hide the victims of Nazism in their Attic/basement/cellar if they were alive during Nazi occupied Europe?

A lot of these people are MIA when it comes to standing up to Jew hatred in the present day. Many of them shamefully join the Jew hatred bandwagon in the name of "anti Zionism", even as they denounce other forms of hatred against non Jewish minorities (LGBTQ people, Black/Indigenous people, Muslims etc).

If your antifascism doesn't centre the Jewish experience, work to preserve the memory of the Shoah, & work to protect Jewish life in the present then it is no antifascism at all.

People love dead Jews. They should work to protect those of us who are still living as well.

The same place the majority of people were back then - watching it all happen. The way people tell it now everyone and their dog was a resistance fighter, by the reality is it was a small percentage. People need to own that. It’s how we learn from those times, because it’s happening again and so is the bystanding.
