IfNotNow Chicago

We are alarmed and horrified by the Israeli occupation and its violence. This is a moment of truth for our community - a moment that demands action.

[IfNotNow Chicago @IfNotNowChi]

Today @IfNotNowOrg members went to the JUF's Israel Solidarity Day to ask some difficult questions of the Chicago Jewish community.

Breaking down these binaries to make space for challenging work around antiracism & antisemitism is hard. But it is the only way forward.

[IfNotNow Chicago @IfNotNowChi]

These binaries serve no one. They only serve to drive a wedge between Jews and other oppressed groups, when active solidarity is needed.

[IfNotNow Chicago @IfNotNowChi]

Either antisemitism is on the rise, or antisemitism is a problem of the past.

[IfNotNow Chicago @IfNotNowChi]

Either antisemitism is rampant on the left, or antisemitism couldn’t possibly exist in these spaces.

[IfNotNow Chicago @IfNotNowChi]

Too often, we see conversations about antisemitism reduced to simplistic binaries.

[IfNotNow Chicago @IfNotNowChi]

We must also make space for deeper, more complex conversations about antisemitism. Spaces that acknowledge the pain it causes.

[IfNotNow Chicago @IfNotNowChi]

@DykeMarchChi The Chicago Dyke March is an explicitly anti-racist, anti-colonialist space and it is not apolitical. We must uphold their leadership.

[IfNotNow Chicago @IfNotNowChi]

@DykeMarchChi The conflation of Zionism with Judaism is never acceptable, but it is very clear that this is not what happened at the Chicago Dyke March.
