i was going to make a post about this, but the rise of antisemitism and how a lot of bigots use israel/palestine to say covertly antisemitic things by replacing “jewish” with “zionists” is an easy way to see how a lot of far leftists are comfortably dehumanizing minorities and are happy to find a way to do so without mass backlash. now theyre doing the same with black ppl by calling us “low information voters” and other derogatory terms bcuz we dont support their favorite champagne socialist candidate of the month. and all this bigoted shit usually comes from white ppl or arabic ppl
The Black-Jewish political coalition has historically been constantly welded back together by the fact everyone who hates one of us ends up coming for the other
"At first I thought he was making a deep political statement, but actually it's just an empirical observation."
MLKJ agrees.
The Klan attacked Jews like it did Black people. My great-great grandmother had a Christmas tree specifically because the Klan would look in windows to see who was Christian. And if they didn't see one, they'd make their displeasure known.
The laws that impacted Black people also impacted Jews. Jews benefited immensely from Black activists passing laws against discrimination.
Black people and Jews (and Black Jews, but that goes without saying) have always had a common enemy. And we need to stick together to fight it.
