"Do not use participation in the slave trade as an excuse for whitewashing Jews, unless you are willing to do the same to Arabs and Native Americans. Otherwise, it is nothing more than discrimination. And discrimination against Jews has a name: antisemitism."

    Simply being hated by racists doesn’t render a group of people non-white. Racists hate the LGBT community, feminists, libs, etc.

    And within the Jewish world, you’ll find and interesting overlap between people shouting “Ashkenazi Jews aren’t white” with the people minimizing the experiences of actual Jewish POC.

        I’ll leave the post up so long as everything stays civil, it’s a decent discussion to have, though T of I is a pretty reactionary publication

          Yeah I've looked at some of this guy's other writing and he comes off as pretty reactionary.
