Racism is not the answer to racism. Black Lives Matter is being hijacked by people to abuse Jews online. We are being showered with abuse, from racist conspiracies, to blaming us for black people dying and calling us 'white supremacists'....
Racism is not the answer to racism. Black Lives Matter is being hijacked by people to abuse Jews online. We are being showered with abuse, from racist conspiracies, to blaming us for black people dying and calling us 'white supremacists'....
People are pretending to be Jewish to abuse us, thinking it gives them a license to be racist...
They even pretend to be Jewish while mocking our genocide....
Meanwhile they amplify JVL types and pit the black community against the Jewish community. Because racists get off on divide and rule....
"it is art by a black man you white supremacist" he says to the leader of the Holocaust Education Trust. Except the artist wasn't black. And there is no excuse for a racist mural....
These are uncertain, frightening times. People are angry and upset and need an outlet. Circumstances are ripe for antisemitism. Jews are being blamed for everything, from Coronavirus to the mistreatment of black people....
We need your help. We have our dignity but this racism does not just hurt Jews. It does absolutely nothing for black rights - quite the opposite. It is a distraction designed to cause a race war. So please call it out where you see it. #BeKind
