| Young hiring managers far less likely to hire Jews than older onesnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 27 Nov 05:45 AM On Friday, I looked at a survey fro | | On Friday, I looked at a survey from Resumebuilders that showed that 26% of recruiters and hiring managers in the United States were less likely to hire people they assume to be Jewish. As shocking as this is, it gets worse.
I asked for the raw data of the survey to see if I can see any patterns of the respondents. One of them stuck out as the biggest factor as to whether the hiring manager would discriminate against Jews.
Their age.
Younger hiring managers were twice as likely to be biased against Jewish applicants than older ones. Why would hiring managers be any different than the general population? If they aren't, that means that antisemitism is getting continuously worse in America in coming decades. And the total number of those surveyed was over 1000, which should be pretty accurate.
Another very disturbing finding is that nearly 38% of the hiring managers with a post-graduate education were less likely to move forward with Jewish applicants, with a similar percentage feeling that there were too many Jews in their industries. And nearly 37% of Black hiring managers were less likely to move forward with Jewish applicants. (Although the sample size was small, Arab hiring managers were the least likely to not move forward with Jews - only 7%.)
The other major correlation was between certain industries and antisemitism. According to the survey, these industries that had over...Read More |
From Ian: Second person dies of injuries days after Jerusalem bombing attack A victim of this week's terror bombing in Jerusalem succumbed to his injuries on Saturday, raising the death toll from the attack to two. Tadese Tashume Ben Ma'ada was critically injured in an explosion Wednesday morning at a bus stop at the main entrance to Jerusalem, one of two bombings that rattled the capital. A statement from Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem said trauma and ICU teams "fought for his life but unfortunately his injuries were too serious." "We offer our deepest condolences to the family," the hospital added. Ben Ma'ada's family said they were thankful for the support they'd received since the attack but asked the public and the media to respect their privacy. Ben Ma'ada, 50, immigrated to Israel from Ethiopia 21 years ago. He leaves behind a wife and six children. Responding to the reports of Ben Ma'ada's death, Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu sent his condolences to the family and praised medical teams who had treated him. "Last week, I visited his dedicated family, who wrapped him with love, and the doctors who bravely fought for his life. I embrace the family at this difficult hour. May he rest in peace," Netanyahu said on Twitter. Outgoing prime minister Yair Lapid said he was "heartbroken" to hear of Ben Ma'ada's death. The double attack...Read More |
From Ian: No Good Jew Goes Unpunished REVIEW: 'Bad Jews: A History of American Jewish Politics and Identities' Tamkin's personal leanings often make her an unreliable narrator. She tries to sanitize the Second Intifada as "a Palestinian uprising that came from the failure of the peace process in the first decade of the 2000s and the violence that ensued," a sentence worthy of Orwell's "Politics and the English Language." She describes Jewish Currents, which she admires, as "the magazine founded for the Jewish Left back in 1946," leaving out that it was Stalinist. She congratulates Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) for apologizing for an anti-Semitic remark, without mentioning that Omar quickly walked back the apology and reiterated her conspiracy theory. Notably bad is Tamkin's discussion of the neoconservatives. Hostile framings and poor paraphrases of Irving Kristol arguments are one thing. Another is that she doesn't seem to know what she's talking about. The first words she uses to describe neocon intellectuals are "free-market capitalists"; in fact, they were notable within the conservative movement for accepting limits on the free market and making peace with the New Deal, while critiquing excesses of the Great Society on empirical grounds. Next, she writes, "Neoconservatives actually started out as leftist radicals. They were disciples of Leon Trotsky." For most neocons, this is false. Norman Podhoretz...Read More |
The ADL keeps a database of extremist incidents, including antisemitic incidents. They list over 1700 so far for this year. I have been looking though their list for 2022, specifically incidents that mention Israel. Here are only a few of them:
January, Brooklyn NY: Graffiti that read, "Kill Israel and the Jews" was found on the campus of a middle school.
January, Mountain ViewCO: In response to a Jewish middle school student's presentation on the Holocaust, the teacher harassed the student about the creation and policies of the State of Israel. January, Seattle WA: The message "It's okay to be a Zionist genocider" was found spray-painted across the Jewish Family Service.
February, Buffalo NY: An antisemitic flier was posted on the campus of the University of Buffalo. The flier depicted Robert and John F. Kennedy with Stars of David etched over their faces, and the words, "Israel and the assassinations of the Kennedy brothers."
February, University City MO: In a social media post, a campus Birthright program was the target of an anti-Zionist campaign comparing them to Patriot Front, a White Supremacist organization. The campaign strongly suggested that, like the Patriot Front, the Birthright program should not be allowed on campus and the post included the call "Death to all Settler Colonialism!" March, Storrs CT: A Jewish college student was the target of antisemitic harassment and removal from a campus...Read More |
From Ian: Melanie Phillips: The humbug of the West over murdered Israelis To Western liberals, the suffering of Israeli victims at the hands of the Palestinian Arabs is all but invisible. So too is the suffering of Palestinians under their own leaders. Western liberals appear not to see that Palestinian leaders jail, torture and kill their own people. They don't see Palestinian attacks on Christians or Druze. They don't see Hamas throwing gays off roofs to their deaths. Last month, Ahmad Abu Marhia, a gay 25-year-old Palestinian Arab living under asylum in Israel in fear for his life at the hands of his family and residents of his village, was abducted and beheaded in Hebron. The liberal media was mostly silent. There were no demonstrations on American campuses. U.S. Ambassador to Israel Thomas Nides tweeted his horror at the murder but conspicuously failed to say the victim had fled his Palestinian village for sanctuary in Israel because he was gay. Western liberals have fixed in their heads the falsehood that Palestinians are the oppressed victims of Israel and therefore can do no wrong. In parallel, these liberals have blanked Israel out of their moral universe, so that Israelis don't have the same right to exist as Western liberals do themselves. How can we explain this astounding and shocking mindset? The history of the Jewish people tells us that when cultures are beset by terrifying...Read More |
By Daled Amos In the aftermath of the recent elections in the US and Israel, something is in the air. Recent actions by the Biden administration seem to point not only to a new level of animosity towards the Jewish state, but also to new levels of double standards being applied to Israel. The US Department of Justice recently informed Israel that the FBI is going to open its own investigation into the death of Shireen Abu Akleh. This comes after the State Department announced months ago that it was satisfied with the results of the IDF's own investigation, which found that an Israeli soldier may have inadvertently shot Abu Akleh, but unintentionally. The White House claims that this new decision was made without its knowledge and that even US ambassador Nides was originally unaware of the decision. Putting aside the level of ineptitude this implies on the part of the Biden administration and how this leaves the US soldiers open to requests for similar investigations in the future, the question remains: why should the US request for an investigation of the death of a US citizen be limited just to Abu Akleh? Isn't there a murder of another US citizen that the Biden administration can pursue? So while The Washington Post claims that...Read More |
ResumeBuilders commissioned a survey of antisemitic attitudes of hiring managers and recruiters in the United States, and the results show that discrimination against Jews in the workplace is far more widespread than has been reported. Nearly one third of the respondents, 32%, said antisemitism is "common" or "very common" at their workplaces.
Over a quarter of them, 26%, say they are less likely to move forward in the hiring process with Jewish applicants.
23% say they want fewer Jews in their industry, and an astounding 17% say that their leadership has told them to not hire Jews.
The recruiters and hiring managers make assumptions on who is Jewish based on the applicant's educational background (35%), last name (33%), past or current experiences with Jewish organizations (28%), and even their appearance (26%). But some also make their assumptions based on antisemitic criteria, saying their assumptions are based on the job applicant's "voice," "mannerisms," or even saying "they are very frugal."
When asked the reasons for not wanting to hire Jews, the answers were a summary of why people are antisemitic altogether. They included "Jews have too much power and control" (38%), "Jews claim to be the 'chosen people'" (38%), and "Jews have too much wealth" (35%). Is this discrimination coming from the political Right or the Left? The reasons given...Read More |
