Throughout the Western world you'll see armed law enforcement protecting synagogues. No other religious houses receive such protection. No other group receives such protection. Among other things, this signifies who's in charge, where they are vulnerable, but also a clear separation between untouchable Jews and the rest of the population.
Organizations like Jewish Family Services agencies (part of the resettlement network connected to HIAS) also provide direct newcomer support on the ground, assisting refugees with housing, schooling, language classes, and integration.
There are historical examples too, such as NYANA (New York Association for New Americans) and others that once played major roles in Jewish refugee relief.
IsraAID is an Israeli humanitarian NGO that responds to global emergencies—including forced displacement and refugee crises as part of broader disaster relief—but it is not focused exclusively on immigration policy.
American Jewish World Service (AJWS) champions human rights and funds global justice efforts, including in contexts of displacement, though its primary framing is broader human-rights advocacy rather than refugee resettlement or asylum assistance per se.
American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) has deep roots in refugee rescue and resettlement historically and remains one of the largest Jewish humanitarian bodies responding to crisis situations that produce displacement; its work spans emergency relief, community rebuilding, and assisting displaced people in times of conflict.
The Synagogue Coalition on the Refugee and Immigration Crisis (SCRIC) is a coalition of congregations and nonprofits engaged in direct service and advocacy for refugees and immigrants.
World Jewish Relief historically aided refugees in the 20th century and continues as a major British Jewish international humanitarian organization, though its current global work is broad humanitarian aid rather than exclusively immigration policy.
HIAS (originally Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society) is unquestionably central to refugee and immigrant assistance, providing legal aid, resettlement services, advocacy, and community engagement for displaced people around the world, grounded in Jewish tradition and operating globally.
HIAS+JCORE in the UK works specifically on refugee and asylum seeker support, campaigns on asylum policy, offers direct support, and mobilizes Jewish communities around these issues.
@guestman hi. I don't have anything good to post either. The joy comes from interacting with each other far away from the AI algorithm overlord
@beardalaxy hard to say to what extent it will affect the market, not a good reason to completely wave away the warning of the insider
@Rocket easier to control, for sure
@japananon yes it's time
