I may eventually be leaving Twitter as Elon Musk plans to basically categorize every post by a non-paying account as spam. Please visit https://t.co/LHDbngZCi2 to support the podcast and find links where you can listen for free on all streaming platforms & YouTube.

I understand what he's trying to say. However, this makes it sound like most Israelis aren't also brown, and that is actually one of the problems that leads to people associating all of this with race. Also, Russia is held accountable only because the media tells people to do so.

Trevor Noah and Ta-Nehisi Coates are engaging in anti-Palestinian racism, here’s why:

I'm shocked that this is real - but I guess I shouldn't be. 😒

Matt Gaetz on Marjorie Taylor Greene supporting Kevin McCarthy for Speaker: “At the first opportunity, he will zap her faster than you can say Jewish space laser.”

I'm going to need for people to stop saying what effect something had on Black people, or how 'the Black community' felt about something, without talking to anyone Black. Please and thank you.

[A Jew Like Me @AJewLikeMe]

Can we please say "non-Jewish Black" instead of just "Black", because the Black community includes Jews and this language is exclusionary.

Mazal tov, Dave Chapelle, for going on national television and furthering the white supremacist agenda of pitting the Black and Jewish communities against each other.

(Yes, I am aware that Dave Chapelle is black, but it doesn’t mean he can’t become a tool for white supremacy.)

@RabbiRuth Its okay to turn them off too ♥️ Sometimes its better for your mental health.

[A Jew Like Me @AJewLikeMe]

I just spoke about this in my most recent podcast. 100% on point.

The desired goal is to KNOW G-d, not to know ABOUT Him. You can't Know someone you don't spend time with. You can read/learn things about someone, but unless there is actually quality time spent, there will be a defect in the relationship! 100% #G0DSMAN

But this is just my opinion in a sea of many - and Im sure it will change nothing, and thus the miscommunication continues.

[A Jew Like Me @AJewLikeMe]

🧵 I loved the Dave Chapelle monologue. It was funny and for the moment. In no way did it come off as antisemitic. If we call every single mention of Jewish people antisemitic, it invalidates, diminishes, and waters down what it actually means.

[A Jew Like Me @AJewLikeMe]

Yes, there are a lot of 'white' Jewish men in positions of power. But its their proximity to whiteness that garners them their power - not their Jewishness. Lets be real about this and communicate the nuance instead of "Jews arent white!" Or "Jews aren't successful!".

[A Jew Like Me @AJewLikeMe]

Black Jews are still being murdered in genocides throughout the continent of Africa. Antisemitism hurts ALL Jews - regardless of their race or nationality.

[A Jew Like Me @AJewLikeMe]

We need to talk more about Ethiopian (Black) Jews were killed in the Holocaust and in genocides that still are occurring today.

This is history and present day events that need to be talked about - it may help people have a better understanding of how antisemitism hurts ALL Jews.

[A Jew Like Me @AJewLikeMe]

I know for a fact that social media messages get approval before being deployed. This is not a mistake. Shameful.

@zackamenetz Lol! I love the humor.

[A Jew Like Me @AJewLikeMe]

Also, race is a sociopolitical concept created solely for supremacy. Race is fake and does not actually exist, but has real life consequences, so there's that. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[A Jew Like Me @AJewLikeMe]

To say Jews are not white, to me, is just as false as saying Jews are not black. If you have someone who is a White Anglican from the UK & converts to Judaism - they are now a Jew, but they are also still White. This creates an idea that converts are not Jews. Jews are all races.

[Elisheva Black Jewish Mermaid Princess����🏾‍♀️👸🏾✡ @Eli7ChicnSweet]

Jews are not white. You will never hear me saying "white Jews". That term is counterproductive especially when it's being weaponized in antisemitic language daily to erase the experiences of Jews & to ignore the rise in Antisemitism.
I'm not reckless like that
