Right now, Palestinians, Israelis and all of us with family on the ground are terrified for loved ones. We grieve the lives of those already lost and remain committed to a future where every life is precious, and all people live in freedom and safety. Following 16 years of Israeli military blockade, Palestinian fighters from…
There is nuance here that to ignore completely is not only contributing to antisemitism but is just factually incorrect. That’s not how antisemitism works. White passing Jews are still Jewish, and still experience antisemitism. To say they don’t is antisemitic.
Britain committed genocide against the Irish, but do you really think there is still racism against the Irish ethnicity? Times change. The Irish are white now, because whiteness is like that. New ethnicities are recoded as “white” in order to maintain white power structures.
And so white Jews become white, while non-white Jews are still discriminated against for being Semitic.
To say that white Jews are not white is, honestly, racist. It’s just white people trying to appropriate the oppression of non-white people.
So, I guess Tree of Life massacre wasn’t racist nor antisemitic because most of the victims were “white” Jews. Nor was the Charlottesville riot. Or the synagogue firebombings. Or the antisemitic slurs I’ve been called online and offline. Thank you for taking the time to educate me about my own oppression, how very kind of you.
The Tree of Life massacre was a tragedy, but it doesn’t reflect the broader power structures of society. It is part of the same dynamics that have produced many many other mass shootings where white people are killed en masse. The shooter was motivated by antisemitism, but the existence of antisemitic individuals is not proof that white Jews are discriminated against on any kind of scale.
The Unite the Right rally, on the other hand, was a reaction to the removal of Confederate statues. Yes, there were Neo-Nazis there, but the primary driver was racism. In fact, making that all about you, a white person who is unaffected by racism, is… kinda racist.
White Jews are white and Israel is a white settler colony genociding the non-white local population - truly the 51st US state.
The white ones experience white privilege. The antisemitism is reserved for Jews from Asia and Africa.
What was the holocaust then?

Yeah no, there’s absolutely no way you’re arguing this in good faith or being serious whatsoever there’s just no way lmao
Why do you think Republicans, the ones that caucus with Nazis, support Israel? If this isn’t proof of whiteness, nothing will convince you.
