The Shomer: Jews Attacked on DU Campus; Ye’s Antisemitism Sparks More Jew-hatred
Earlier this week I woke up to news about a spate of antisemitic incidents on campus at the University of Denver, where some cowardly individual or group targeted three Jewish students over the last week. According to a report from Jewish rights organization StandWithUs: “The incidents, which occurred between February 9 – 12, included pork left on the doorstep and smeared on the dorm room door of one Jewish student and mezuzahs ripped off the doorways of the rooms of two other Jewish students. The sacred scrolls in the Mezuzahs were tampered with, one of which was destroyed. The students are all identifiable Jews or Jewish leaders on campus.”

For more on that, read the subsequent column to this one, The Shomer: Kanye’s Antisemitic Rants Are Unhinged, But Tucker Carlson’s Editing is Unconscionable)

The Shomer: From Charlie & The Chocolate Factory to Pink Floyd — The Antisemitism of The Artist
Over the last several years a cultural shift has the United States citizenry reevaluating our relationships with those we’ve canonized as heroes due to their contributions to the institutions we so deeply revere. Some have taken to referring to it as “woke” or “cancel” or “consequence” culture, and depending on your stance, it’s either something to be demonized or lauded. But for Jews, this is nothing new.

The Shomer: For Jews in Prison, There is No Safety in Numbers
60 Days In is an A&E docuseries covering prison and jail life from the perspective of inmates. The series’ first season in 2016 followed seven volunteers who went undercover for 60 days as inmates in the Clark County Jail in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The focus was exposing ongoing illegal activities within the jail confines that correctional officials missed. I recently watched a few episodes, and one thing struck me as I watched a supercut of clips from this series — I didn’t see any Jews.
