These Jewish organizations are going to help the Nazis purge the people best suited to work in coalition with us and make the US a place worth living in. Who will be there to help when we become the target?

we (anti-Zionist Jews) are already swiftly become the target. but you are right and I am terrified.

This is why we can't depend on the institutions. TBH not different from any other institution in America that has wealth but is also failing. We have to build parallel infrastructure.

Yes, exactly. It’s hard to articulate how existentially frightened I am. Not just for other people or the abstract idea of America but — for Jewish people. Like me.
