📌This is a thread I culled from chilling words a truly brilliant friend of mine @_outsidevoice put together.

📌You really must read this and give her/them a folo.

📌VERY IMPORTANT

GO:

"This is the worst headline ever."

1/7

nytimes.com/2019/12/10/us/…

"This executive order will redefine Judaism as a nationality or race. The same as what the Nürnberg laws did.

Trump is not targeting anti-Semitism. He’s targeting protected free speech and academic freedom."

2/7

"Israel is not Judaism. Jews are not default Israelis. Jews have no requirement or oath of loyalty to the Israeli government nor its policies vis a vis the Palestinians."

3/7

"Trump said JUST THE OTHER DAY in front of a right wing American Israel-supporting organization that Jews are not nice people. He’s said we are disloyal when we do not support him. He said that we should vote for him because we want to protect our money and businesses."

4/7

"Trump and his white supremacist, evangelical backers want Israel to be completely under “Jewish” control so that they can hasten the second coming of Jesus.

"Cynical right wing Jews have cozied up to this because they don’t believe that Jesus was the messiah ...

5/7

... and they see this as a means to an end to solidify peace and support for a right wing Israeli government."

"Dual loyalty or disloyalty tropes are not just antisemitism. They are DEADLY. They have continually been used to HUNT JEWS throughout history."

6/7

"There’s no benign way to look at this."

"I am an American."

"Jews are of every race and most nationalities on the planet."

"And when we fucking tell you we’re in danger, you need to listen to us."
