I& #39;m starting to think we need a dashboard objectively listing what the threats to Jews are. Since this is Twitter, I& #39;m going to throw out some unedited thoughts here. 1/
I& #39;m thinking a list of the threats, where the threats are (US, Europe, Israel, elsewhere), magnitude, how violent, tactical and strategic countermeasures. For example: 2/
White nationalists/neo-Nazis: In the US, they seem to be a fringe group. But they are highly likely to be violent. We are already doing what we can to protect ourselves for the most part. 3/
White nationalist risk in Europe: Not sure. Seems like a small risk now but one that could turn quickly. 4/
Black followers and fans of Farrakhan: A much larger number. Very worried that violence that we are seeing in inner cities now will start being directed against Jews. 5/
Arab/Muslim terror: Major risk in the US but the FBI has done an excellent job disrupting attacks. Similar to Israel. Requires vigilance. Education an unlikely mitigation. 6/
Arab/Muslim terror risk in Europe: Very deadly, not sure whether it is getting worse or better. 7/
Left-wing, socialist anti-Zionism: Not generally violent but major threat to free speech and Jews publicly showing their support of Israel. Punches above its weight. Threat way beyond Jews. 7/
BDS: No physical threat to US Jews, threat to Israel is more the goal of turning Israel into a pariah state rather than economic damage. Legal and economic countermeasures. 8/ (actually 9...)
Iran: Threat of actual annihilation of Israel, as well as proxy wars through Hezbollah and Gaza groups. Dedicated to Israel& #39;s destruction. Israel taking all countermeasures. US Jews can help ensure economic pressure. 10/
Assimilation: Huge threat to the continued existence of American Jewry. Need more education and creative solutions. 11/
