i’ve been reading a lot of posts from jewish bloggers about charlottesville and the left in general, and it’s become even more clear to me that we gentiles are not doing enough.
i’m deeply upset to see multiple cases of people derailing jewish posts to say that jewish people aren’t the real targets- to see them saying poc are in more danger than they are, in a tone that suggests antisemitism isn’t a fundamental part of nazism. as if there aren’t jewish poc? as if being jewish inherently means being white? as if there isn’t a manifesto boldly calling for the return of death camps? or we will neglect to mention jewish people at all!
that’s fucked up. that’s really, really fucked up.
i’m not a perfect ally, but some of y’all are really going out of your way to be hurtful to jewish people right now, and it needs to stop.
Great post op
