@mohashim To the "hide me" test, I'd also add scanning new rooms for exits, attraction/repulsion:relief/heartbreak at the sight of security guards, and an impulse to be loud and activated when panic arises.

@mohashim Mohammed, you capture something profound about Jewish social psychology here that's mostly missed in public discourse and handwringing about antisemitism. Thank you! There really are deep emotional-psychological patterns that different peoples share, carry with them, and inherit.

[Mohammed Hashim @mohashim]

A few years ago, I helped bring some community members together and a really prominent and successful Jewish woman made a comment that struck me very deeply. She roughly said, ‘for me to truly have trust, I would need to believe that you would hide me’. thread 1/10
