@DaveEllis85 @deus_sex_mach1 @ashalayflowers @stlwell2 @CRITHINKCLUB @kanyewest dogwhistles, or a way for neo-nazis to discuss their antisemitic viewpoints without directly saying they think Jewish people control the world. a lot of Jewish people get worried when we see people using those conspiracy theories bc they are often used as a cover for antisemitism

[wasko @hwaskowitz]

@DaveEllis85 @deus_sex_mach1 @ashalayflowers @stlwell2 @CRITHINKCLUB @kanyewest those three conspiracy theories are heavily linked to antisemitic conspiracy theories that have been around for hundreds and hundreds of years (a secret group of ultra-powerful elites control the world and drink the blood of children), they are often used as antisemitic-

@ashalayflowers @deus_sex_mach1 @stlwell2 @CRITHINKCLUB @kanyewest does your Jewish friend know that you defend Kanye’s antisemitism and think that “Jews are power”? or do you only spout that bullshit when she’s not around?

@TreaTrea1 @Teenvvolf @AlexaRaebies @_dmannnn @ruthielolz @becca_oneal that essay is super informative, thank you for sharing it!! totally agree that capitalism and class play a major role in this, and as Jewish people were given more capital we definitely have contributed to systems of oppression

[wasko @hwaskowitz]

@_dmannnn @Teenvvolf @AlexaRaebies @ruthielolz @becca_oneal that’s totally okay! it makes sense that you’d focus on your experiences/what you know and feel, i do that often and am definitely still learning to look at the full picture. thank you for putting time into this, i’ll be holding myself to the same standard!! solidarity always :)

[wasko @hwaskowitz]

@_dmannnn @Teenvvolf @AlexaRaebies @ruthielolz @becca_oneal just trying to clarify where I'm coming from/what I was trying to say! white Jews benefitting from our whiteness, feeling the repercussions of that whiteness being conditional, and still contributing to systems that oppress Black people are all true at the same time

[wasko @hwaskowitz]

@_dmannnn @Teenvvolf @AlexaRaebies @ruthielolz @becca_oneal recently I've just been seeing a huge surge in people saying that Jews are in control of all media/finances/social systems or that we have a disproportionate amount of power, which is untrue and based in the same rhetoric that nazis used. not saying that you were pushing that,

[wasko @hwaskowitz]

@Teenvvolf @AlexaRaebies @_dmannnn @ruthielolz @becca_oneal Jewish people? we aren't the ones deciding that Black people should be continuously oppressed (not saying that there aren't any Jewish people who are anti-Black, just that we aren't controlling the systemic oppression).

[wasko @hwaskowitz]

@Teenvvolf @AlexaRaebies @_dmannnn @ruthielolz @becca_oneal i'm Jewish, many of us absolutely have been accepted into whiteness and benefit from white privilege, and Jews are more accepted than we were in the 40s, but that doesn't mean that antisemitism is just gone. Black people absolutely deserve better, but why is the anger directed at

@Cpthorseshit @Softfuzzzzyman @callmeranchh @badgal_ari if you can’t read just say that dude

[wasko @hwaskowitz]

@SlowJamShoes @robina_queen @HandsondeckGrey @badgal_ari ahh gotcha, sorry for misunderstanding your position!! i’m Jewish and we definitely have part of our history that we need to hold ourselves more accountable for

[wasko @hwaskowitz]

@callmeranchh @badgal_ari a big chunk of Jewish people (myself included) are absolutely white and benefit from white privilege, but historically we have not been seen as white and were “granted” whiteness fairly recently! it’s a very conditional whiteness and antisemitism is 100% linked to white supremacy

[wasko @hwaskowitz]

@SlowJamShoes @robina_queen @HandsondeckGrey @badgal_ari i want to be very clear that i am not trying to defend or minimize Jewish involvement in the slave trade. that is a very disgusting part of Jewish history and we need to do better at holding ourselves accountable for it. just pointing out the full context for that quote.

[wasko @hwaskowitz]

@SlowJamShoes @robina_queen @HandsondeckGrey @badgal_ari here’s that quote in the context of the article! obviously any involvement in slavery is disgusting, amoral, and deserves to be condemned, but that article is literally debunking the claim that Jews were overwhelmingly involved in/responsible for the slave trade

[wasko @hwaskowitz]
