"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."

    counterpoint: Ashkenazi Jews are white. our struggle is different from that of Black and Indigenous people, we have almost as much privilege as non-Jewish whites. maybe we werent "white" 60 years ago, maybe we wont be "white "in 10 years, but right now were white. antisemitism is still bad. we are not POC

    and it has nothing to do with whether our ancestors owned slaves
