What could be a better way to stop antisemitism?
Tzvi Fishman's arguing that campaigns to stop antisemitism in the USA and elsewhere aren't going to work:
On which note, that's exactly why I'm throughly dismayed at this example from a few years back, where a former telenovela actress from Columbia took up the kind of dress ultra-Orthodox go by, and practically erased her history and nationality almost wholesale. Seriously, that's not what Orthodox Judaism should be all about in any capacity. I strongly recommend realist rabbis reevaluate this approach.
And if they do, they'll be setting the groundswork for a far better idea of persuading people to convert to Judaism, and for all we know, it could enable all concerned to cut down on many modern problems like LGBT ideology and Islamofascism tearing up society simultaneously. Others could be persuaded to convert to religions like Buddhism, Hinduism and Shintoism, and what if those far-eastern religions have some advantages too? That's exactly what few seem to ponder.
Update: on the subject of converts, here's news of Kassy Dillon, a Fox News contributor who's converted, and do I notice correctly, that she's not only dressing modestly, she's also wearing a wig instead of her own hair? Well see, that's what I feel is a terrible error being made in Orthodox conversion, and has to cease. The antisemitism she's faced is reprehensible of course, but that doesn't mean the "custom" she's gone by should have to be a requirement to converting to Judaism.
Almost every week another Jewish billionaire or Jewish organization announces that they are allocating millions of dollars to wage a public campaign against the increasing anti-Semitism in America. They even enlist famous celebrities, Jews and non-Jews alike, in the expensive campaigns.Of course it's a sad situation, but think about this: why not persuade foreigners to convert to Judaism, make it suitably attractive to an outsider, and thus convince them it's worth it? The Orthodox Judaist movement in particular has to prove it can abandon any ill-advised "customs" like what the ultra-Orthodox have, and not go around telling women, for example, what they should wear. Dress codes don't make for a healthy path, and definitely not outside school grounds, that's for sure.
What total folly! Do they really believe that putting up posters at bus stations and billboards along highways will stop Gentiles from hating Jews? It’s a total waste of money. The Christians of America, and the various groups which stemmed from them, believe that the Jews killed their god. Is a billboard going to change their minds? Is a basketball player, a movie star, or former heavyweight champion going to influence their thinking? A majority of Gentiles grew up with Jew hatred from the time they started drinking milk. [...]
The solution, of course, is to flee from America and come home to the Land of the Jews. Tragically however, the Jews of America don’t want to face that obvious reality. Instead of flocking happily home to Zion they do everything they can to remain in the Egypt of today, where they are culturally enslaved by the same materialism which deadened the minds and souls of the Jews who remained in Egypt, 80 percent of the people, who remained deaf to the warnings and inspiring calls of freedom by Moses.
That is the very sad situation of American Jewry today – not to mention the Jews throughout the Diaspora who refuse to see the clear writing on the walls splattered with graffiti and the hatred of Jews.
