if something antisemitic happens at a BLM protest, that does not prove—as some right-winger has said—that BLM is antisemitic.

for years, Jews have been involved in BLM. yet none of that counts as evidence for BLM’s character somehow, when the right is evaluating it. 🥴
not going to pretend that that video isn’t super distressing, b/c it is, it’s distressing and gross.

just very, very tired of the american right ignoring antisemitism except when it’s a useful cudgel against Black people.
if you are going to make that kind of accusation, you have to show a pattern of incidents.

i can think of 3. 3 is meaningless.
this is an excellent point. what we’re witnessing is an attempt to discredit what is, effectively, a new civil rights movement, by undercutting its moral ground. that’s why it’s so important for jews to contest this accusation when it comes up. https://twitter.com/danorrmite/status/1321502777424683008
