  • The Tree of Life massacre was a tragedy, but it doesn’t reflect the broader power structures of society. It is part of the same dynamics that have produced many many other mass shootings where white people are killed en masse. The shooter was motivated by antisemitism, but the existence of antisemitic individuals is not proof that white Jews are discriminated against on any kind of scale.

    The Unite the Right rally, on the other hand, was a reaction to the removal of Confederate statues. Yes, there were Neo-Nazis there, but the primary driver was racism. In fact, making that all about you, a white person who is unaffected by racism, is… kinda racist.

    White Jews are white and Israel is a white settler colony genociding the non-white local population - truly the 51st US state.



  • Britain committed genocide against the Irish, but do you really think there is still racism against the Irish ethnicity? Times change. The Irish are white now, because whiteness is like that. New ethnicities are recoded as “white” in order to maintain white power structures.

    And so white Jews become white, while non-white Jews are still discriminated against for being Semitic.

    To say that white Jews are not white is, honestly, racist. It’s just white people trying to appropriate the oppression of non-white people.
