Are you worried ab danger to Jews? Me too. You know what’s super dangerous? Diverting public attention away from white nationalist antisemitism in/tied to our *government*, so people focus only on AS expressed by Black persons. Who may I remind you are not running this country.>> https://twitter.com/purplechrain/status/1283403878566965249">https://twitter.com/purplechr...

Antisemitism is real, no matter who does it. Black non-Jews didn’t invent it. They don’t have a special corner on this market. THE IDEOLOGICAL INHERITORS OF THOSE WHO *DID* INVENT IT ARE RUNNING OUR COUNTRY. Now you have something to be scared about. >> https://www.howtofightantisemitism.com/ ">https://www.howtofightantisemitism.com/">...

Danger to Jews is real.

However, not all of us notice what one of most dangerous moments for Jews is every day in the US:

When Black Jews walk out of the house.

I’m not saying this to downplay the reality of attacks on Jews qua Jews, or to shame non-Black Jews for feeling concerned about their own safety.

I’m saying it because this gets to to heart of why antisemitism hasn’t ended, & what it would take to end it. >>

Part of *why* many Jews found relative safety in what’s now the US is that when Jews who had European ancestry arrived, they were automatically made safer *by the fact that it was Black people who were designated for white abuse.* (disclaimer - >>

I have to leave it to others who are better able to talk about the original & continuing white abuse of First Nations people.)

But no matter how real that safety was & is, versus the unrelenting danger affecting Black Jews and non-Jews: it is temporary safety. It’s not deep. >>

It goes away as soon as times change, & it becomes politically expedient to target Jews.

Antisemitism may be cyclical, but that doesn’t mean it’s permanent. What would end it is a massive transformation in both consciousness & the social realities that affect all people. >>

This transformation can only come when https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✡️" title="Davids-Stern" aria-label="Emoji: Davids-Stern">s of all races work in deep connection w non-https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✡️" title="Davids-Stern" aria-label="Emoji: Davids-Stern">s, fighting together, protecting each other. Not being satisfied by any short-term offers of safety at the cost of solidarity. Not being sidetracked by fearmongering designed to divide us. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌄" title="Sonnenaufgang über den Bergen" aria-label="Emoji: Sonnenaufgang über den Bergen">
