Please join me in giving a collective hug to DU's Jewish members and their loved ones.
The attacks on the Jewish community have soared since Trump took office: bomb threats/vandalism of Jewish community centers, desecration of Jewish graves, chants of "Jews will not replace us", hateful signs and symbols becoming more and more visible on the daily... murder.
I know this is just an internet message board, but I hope you know that there is true feeling behind this small gesture...

We're not all wackos, we're mostly good neighbors!
Welcome to DU.
Years ago I visited a friend in Squirrel Hill and I saw Fred's house. I feel like crap right now even I am in Chicago and eating good Italian food.
Btw fuck the NRA.
You will forever and always have my love and support. I think everyone here would say the same.
what country is this, anyway.
oh, yeah, dumbfuckistan.
and my many Jewish friends.
An attack on one is an attack on all.

We Remember Them by Sylvan Kamens & Rabbi Jack Riemer
At the rising sun and at its going down; We remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter; We remember them.
At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring; We remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer; We remember them.
At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of the autumn; We remember them.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends; We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live, for they are now a part of us as We remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength; We remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart; We remember them.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make; We remember them.
When we have joy we crave to share; We remember them.
When we have achievements that are based on theirs; We remember them.
For as long as we live, they too will live, for they are now a part of us as, We remember them.
My heart is so heavy.
to all DU'ers and their loved ones who could so easily have been targets of hate today by virtue of their ancestry or chosen religion.
Love & respect to our Jewish friends.
deaths of innocent people again. When is it going to stop???
Hugs, love, peace and blessings.
We must unite. The right is trying their damdest to divide us and drive a wedge between all of us. We cannot allow this to happen. We are strongest when we stand together.
Pittsburgh, I stand with you tonight.
And all of those affected by the tragedy here.
Absolutely

I’ll stand with you— forever. For now, I wish you some P E A C E in this uneasy time. .
and vigilance to you all.
I would not hang around any place that tolerated anti-Semitism.
DU gets it. The Admins got it from Day One. The TOS reflects it.
We may stumble here, but we do not fall into that ancient evil.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
