A Jewish movement against ICE takes off by deploying its most famous mantra

From the article:

It started with a call on Facebook to demonstrate against the country’s increasingly hostile immigration policies.
Earlier this summer, Serena Adlerstein, a 25-year-old Jewish volunteer for a nonprofit that promotes immigrant rights, asked her Facebook friends: “What if young Jews occupied ICE detention centers and shut them down?”


Less than 48 hours later came two more demonstrations – one in Boston and another in Providence, Rhode Island. The following day, it was Los Angeles, then Philadelphia, San Francisco and Chicago.

To date, there have been 37 demonstrations, all under the banner of Never Again Action. All have been led by Jewish activists wanting to shut down ICE’s detention of immigrants, which has separated families and crowded them in squalid conditions. On Wednesday, the Trump administration unveiled a regulation that would allow it to indefinitely detain migrant families who cross the border illegally.

3. This gives me great hope... Never again, indeed.

May it spread, may it succeed in decimating Trump and his policies (and the RWers who enabled him)

[guillaumeb]

4. Indeed. The phrase "never again" is fitting because Trump and his allies

are fascists who demonize minorities in order to rally their shock troops.

What gives me hope is that there are so many groups fighting this creeping fascism.

10. The Con will soon call them traitors

This is wonderful news - I did notice that some Jewish demonstrators have been arrested by the Con's goons.

[guillaumeb]

19. By "the con",

did you mean the self-proclaimed King?

[malaise]

22. Yes

King Con of Israel, the chosen moran

20. We all need to know our friends and allies. eom

[kimbutgar]

11. And MF 45 had the nerve to say that if Jewish people don't support him they are disloyal!

The irony is

[sandensea]

12. The irony is, I bet it's something he heard from that monster Bibi.

And now he's just parroting it like a 6 year-old that just learned a new word.

13. Stephen Miller

23. +1

Cheeto's Goebbels.

I feel bad for his family, who seem to be incredibly decent, upstanding people.

One in every family, I guess.

[guillaumeb]

16. And we know Trump meant disloyal to him.

Trump is surrounded by fascists, and Nazis.

14. This majority Christian Country never knows how to act concerning Jews.

It's religious documents have declared its God to be a Hebrew ... kinda. So therefore, they're paid a strange sorta, kinda deference. At least officially anyway, which in this case is a good thing.

It remains to be seen if Trump and his Gestapo ICE can eventually be shamed into civility. This latest regulation doesn't bode well but the courts have been fairly effective at stopping the worst of his actions so far.

[guillaumeb]

15. And some Christians see the Jews in Israel as fulfilling

what these Christians see as an end of times role.

[Ligyron]

31. All Christian sects and heck, even Islam too all have various eschatological beliefs.

They seem to agree broadly on the idea that there is going to be an end but how it comes about and what happens after is another matter entirely. Many, many Christian denominations support a Jewish State and the various Evangelicals and Charismatics lead the charge it seems to bring on the End Times, by whatever means necessary in some cases, but what to do with the Jews, especially afterward is the problem.

I must say, the many hoops, contortions and eventually compartmentalization some groups go through to explain all this and gosh, why exactly the very group their Messiah came from aren't now all Christians like they are can be the source of much amusement.

17. Is this group accepting donations? They have the power and the message.

[guillaumeb]

18. An excellent question.

Here is their site. I will include it in my original post.

27. Thank you. I just donated.

Peace.

25. K&R,

[yardwork]

26. I agree with the words on their website, but I'd like to know more about them.

[guillaumeb]

32. I edited the original article to include a link. eom

[H2O Man]

28. Recommended.

[Gothmog]

29. Never again

[calimary]

30. BRAVO!!!

The Jewish community speaks with a VERY loud and credible voice on this particular issue. Glad they’re doing it!

[guillaumeb]

33. Everyone should be doing it.

Historical amnesia blinds many to the obvious parallels between the cult of Trump and the Nazi horror. What happened in Germany was a process, not a single event. It was demonization, and victimization, while the majority watched silently or pretended to not see.
