Well, I appreciate that, but the reality is that I’m not interested in coalition-building with non-Jewish people who feel entitled to assert that a Jewish person pointing out antisemitism is “absurd” — because you don’t get to diminish or be the arbiter of what is or isn’t antisemitic based on your non-Jewish experience.

Your language was clearly coming from a place of having been on some level triggered by me pointing it out; again, that is clearly (to me) because you know that there WAS something antisemitic about her screed.

Even if it was just the assumption that it was altogether “peaceful” because SHE had not yet seen anything violent (physically and/or emotionally) directed towards Jews that concerned HER. It was very plain in the framing of the article and her stance on the conflict itself (framing Gaza as being like Vietnam lmfao) that she harbors hateful and ignorant views towards Israel. Why the intense, narrow xenophobia towards only that one country? I haven’t seen her writing about Myanmar or Sudan! Probably because it’s majority Jews, and she doesn’t like Jews.

How can you even talk about coalition building when you refuse to accept that, in the same way most people harbor inherent anti-Black bias, that they also harbor antisemitic ones? Judaism and Jews are scapegoated and maligned in I would confidently say the majority of Muslim and Christian spheres across the world— that’s a vast amount of the population (not to mention the KKK have always hated and killed Jews as well as Black people in America. This hatred goes hand in hand).

You need to check your own biases and your own hypocrisy before you talk a big game about coalition building. I’ll always proudly stand up for marginalized people across the board, but have truly zero interest in community-building with someone who refuses to understand their own biases. You were wrong, and you should sit with that.
