#TheNoticing is about breaking through years of cognitive dissonance with real facts.
Corporate media and big tech supported influencers are essentially one in the same, they will pull you into a civil war before they ever tell you the truth. It's time for a change. đ„

Make no mistake, when @WileyCEO hits rock bottom, when his career lays in tatters, when he is excommunicated and ostracised, he will feel bitter but he will feel vindicated. He will blame "the Jew" and say, "I told you I was right." He won't blame himself. Ever. Sound familiar?
Imagine if a Jewish artist (or anyone) had gone on a rampage like this about Black people, pulling out every loathsome trope, threat and aggression from the racist blueprint. Twitter would be aghast. Blue ticks would be lighting up our timelines like good little justice warriors.
Yet here we are. The same people, the same faces, the same names, highlighting the same antisemitic shit. But, aside from our familiar friends? Nothing. Even when the Far Right join the conversation to side with @WileyCEO? Nothing. Is this that #JewishPrivilege we all enjoy?
Lately everyone is talking about #JewishPrivilege and how âwhite Ashkenazi Jewsâ benefited from such privilege. I have decided to take a step back and to look closely at those âwhite Ashkenazi Jewsâ. Since majority of Jews who are talking about such privilege are US Jews, 1/
I want to share with them something, that they may not know about their own ancestors. Of course you all heard about numerous atrocities that Jews had to endure throughout centuries, inquisition, expulsions, genocides, raping, libels and many others. You name it. 2/
Then we had the Holocaust and actrocities that are unparalleled. But what if I tell you there was a gigantic industry of oppression that specifically abused Jews and Jewish children 1 century before it? Sounds weird, how can we not know about it, right? Something that killed 3/

(thread) #JewishPrivilege is me being the only jew in my middle school and being pushed and kicked in the hallways while being yelled at âgo burn in the ovens with your ancestorsâ âkykeâ âdirty jewâ then having my arms held down while my peers drew swastikas on my arms.
#JewishPrivilege is when a student photoshopped my face onto anne franks body and sent it around to 3 different schools and at the young age of 10 I was told i needed to kill myself because Jews (myself) cause all the problems in the world.
#JewishPrivilege is attempting suicide after 3 years of continuously being bullied for being jewish. 3 years of being terrified to go to school in the fear i was going to my physical assaulted again for being jewish.
Look at this woman enjoying her #JewishPrivilege.
Jews in Baghdad sure enjoyed their #JewishPrivilege in 1941.
These Jews in Hebron enjoying #JewishPrivilege in 1929.
Here's our post from 2013 in response to the charge of #JewishPrivilege in part by listing the the daily effects of non-Jewish privilege. bit.ly/2CvGF6E
1. You likely donât have your peopleâs right to national self-determination questioned or characterised as racist.
1. You likely donât have your peopleâs right to national self-determination questioned or characterised as racist.
2. You are not accused of being more loyal to a foreign state than to the interests of your own nation.
3. You are not accused of exercising disproportionate control over the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.
So, #JewishPrivilege has been trending for a few hours and Iâd decided I just wasnât going to participate. I write often enough on here about antisemitism and about being publicly Jewish. But I think one thing about which Iâm not honest enough is the dread I push down every day.
I relish each opportunity to instill in my kids a positive Jewish identity. But I also know Iâm going to get a sickening tweet directed at me or weâre going to see an antisemitic flyer on a lamppost in our neighborhood or the neighbor is going to make an Othering comment.
The fact that we have passports that we canât really use to get us anywhere at the moment is horrifying. And the fact is we made damn sure our kids had passports from infancy even though we didnât plan to travel anywhere. But to speak these feelings seems overly dramatic.
My #JewishPrivilege... oh, where do I begin? Itâs a history of a Pale of Settlement privilege.
1) Members of my family (some will never get their names back) were killed in pogrom in Malin in April 1919. All my grandpa remembers is that his great-grandparents were killed in it.

Who else? He doesnât know. His parents remember, but we will get to their privilege later. My grandma vaguely remembered her relatives were killed in another pogrom in Proskurov in 1919. But who, how, when, and where they were buried? We donât know already.
2) Another chapter of privilege was famine in USSR known as Holodomor. My grandfather had 2 younger brothers. His first brother named Jan (but family called hin Janek) died of malnutrition in 1933. Grandpa and his other brother managed to survive, eating anything they could find.
I guess #JewishPrivilege is losing 1/3 of your family to the Holocaust and Pogroms, then living as 2nd class citizens in the USSR, then losing family and friends to terrorism due to daily attacks in world's only Jewish state while it is disproportionately targeted for criticism.
It is being banned from traveling to multiple countries simply because of your religion. It is having bigotry against you normalized in most of Europe. It is being the target of overwhelming majority of religious hate crimes even in the United States. #JewishPrivelage
And the truth that anyone living here is extremely privileged, but even in the US you get bigotry normalized by major athletes and celebrities, you get openly anti-Semitic members of Congress that get widespread support, and you get all of that met with relative silence.
My #JewishPrivilege: Iâve never spent a night hungry. There was always a roof over our heads. Never went to jail or onto food stamps. First cousin froze to death escaping Babi Yar. Attended the top school in Los Angeles. My cousins Eva & Miriam Kor were a Mengle Twin experiment.
Our Bombay familyâs tiny & vulnerable Jewish Community had the honor of defiantly celebrating Chanukah as sitting ducks at the Gateway of India with our 6 & 3 year olds, days after anti-Semitic Pakistani terrorists targeted Chabad killing Rabbi Holzberg & his pregnant wife Rivka.
Never went to synagogue without checking the exits. Went to two Ivies. Threatening graffiti scrawled on my sonâs Jewish day school. Grew up in a well-to-do LA neighborhood...Around neighbors that hated & bullied us and had restricted âconvenantsâ to keep us out. #JewishPrivilege
#JewishPrivilege is your father asking you, begging you not to wear anything that might id you as Jewish, this includes your magen David with your mothers ring, and your grandmothers ring on it.
#JewishPrivilege is not decorating for any holiday because it may put a target on the family. and the current political climate is bad enough.
#JewishPrivilege people asking you at work as you hold the door for them, if you had family on the trains.
