Anti-Jewish prejudice is so deep in Western Civilization it's almost unconscious. From ancient Greeks &Romans to Christian Europe even today, WestCiv has defamed and dehumanized Jews for over 2,000 years. One way this manifests is language.
VERY SHORT THREAD
The very word "Jew" is uncomfortable for many. Long ago it was turned into a verb reflecting anti-Jewish stereotypes - to the point where political leaders TODAY in New Jersey use it, defend it, and don't even realize the deep prejudice they're expressing. nj.com/mercer/2019/09…
So kudos to NJ @GovMurphy for standing up to this. It is vitally important that our political leaders condemn antisemitism whenever and however it manifests. When can never let hatred go unchallenged, whether out of fear or ignorance. newjerseyglobe.com/governor/murph…
