“You fool yourself ... into thinking that we're going to age out of this. But it's not happening. It’s not like we're automatically going to learn from those who have gone before us.”
So after standing on the overpass for a while, I drove to downtown.
And even if we do acknowledge it, responding with statements of condemnation, it is tempting to dismiss it as just a few nuts who don’t represent this community, don’t represent us.This didn’t just happen overnight, over one weekend.It’s disheartening to hear local Jews describe moments from the past and not-so-distant past.
The antisemitism has been here for a long time. Many thought it was extremist rhetoric and we should all just ignore it.When I went downtown and looked up at 11 East — the 17-story building that opened in 1926, and now is apartments — I tried to imagine what it’s like for someone who is Jewish living there in 2022 to see those messages scrolling across their residence. It’s a modern-day, higher-tech version of a cross burning in the front yard.
Over the weekend, there was a flurry of statements. From local politicians. From Jaguars owner Shad Khan. From the schools involved in the Georgia-Florida game. There also was the debate about whether some leaders responded quickly enough, how they responded, and why they responded. Tyler and others firmly believe that the Founding Fathers got it right when they created a new nation and ensured that nation would not have a national religion — but would have freedom of religion.
