It’s so ugly. I wish I had a better way to point it out than, essentially, saying “how can you NOT see this?”
I’ve spent quite a bit of time this summer trying to explain to my kids (one in high school and one in college) that antisemitism is all around them, but particularly in the things they’re seeing about the situation in Gaza. I’m hoping that what I say sticks more than whatever they’re seeing on social media.
I understand. 💙 I think white people went through a reckoning in which we learned to listen for racist dog whistles in a way we hadn’t before. Men (and also women), did the same during metoo so that we were better able to call out sexism when we heard it and understand ways in which it is ingrained. I’m just asking people to do the same with antisemitism.
