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.
It really isn't a point-scoring contest, but many of us are very proud of what we have overcome and won't be deferring to bigots for lessons on privilege. No matter how much you think your bigotry is justified.
The last thing I will say is I am very thankful for allies who stand with us. Opposing bigotry can't just be about opposing it against your own people. That's just picking which bigots to side with. We are stronger together so speak up.
