A good read about the changing face of #antisemitism, considering #Jewish history, #Israel and #Palestine, #colonialism, #genocide and more.

Among the joys of being #Jewish is that in some years, like #2024, you get to say,
The #holidays are late this year!
Leaving everyone else scratching their heads and reaching for their #calendars.
Predictably, #antisemitism has spiked in Europe this week. Recorded incidents in the UK have quadrupled, while two synagogues were vandalised with pro-Palestinian graffiti in Spain and Portugal. Some #Jewish schools are closed and others have increased security.
Yes, of course it's possible to criticise #Israel without being antisemitic. But it's important to recognise how deeply the two are intertwined. #jewdiverse

Here's a short story (~1000 words) that I submitted to #Jewish #Futures, a forthcoming #SciFi collection. Sadly not successful. It's written from the perspective of a young #Jew just before their coming of age ceremony, living on a distant colony in the far future. It's called Forgive Me. Your thoughts welcome, both here and on Wordpress.
