Are Your Kids Playing Jews vs. Nazis Beer Pong?

Let’s be real: good old-fashion beer pong got boring a long time ago.
Well, some High School students have decided to get inventive and reconfigure the cups a bit to look something like this:

The picture was retweeted more than 1700 times. And as it turns out, the game’s got a history. Students from Cape Coral High School in Florida weren’t the first to play ‘Jew vs. Nazi’ beer pong, though they seem to have been the first to attract national attention for it.
This one’s from 2013:

Now, you probably don’t need an ADL report to know that not everyone’s laughing about it.
Some, though, are urging calm before getting riled up over the game. “My first assumption is let’s assume it’s just children that are immature with no ill intent, not trying to be malice,” Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz suggested to Fox4.
The Daily Dot aptly noted that this probably isn’t the latest new, dangerous anti-Semitic trend. It’s just another dumb old one that hasn’t died yet.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
