1/ I have to say, "don't worry so much about celebrities with millions of followers spewing and spreading rank antisemitism, because white nationalists elsewhere are a big problem" — as if we didn't know that — strikes me as a bad take.
2/ Identity politics at its worst treats certain antisemitism as a problem on its face and more as an inconvenient distraction from another cause, and sometimes sympathizes more with those antisemites than with their victims.
3/ Here's the thing: we have enough room in our minds to fear and oppose antisemitism from Farrakhan supporters with giant megaphones AND antisemitism from white supremacists, and maybe even hold other unrelated thoughts about politics, the environment, etc, all at the same time.
4/ But if you believe otherwise, then maybe, before suggesting others should spend less time expressing concern about non-white antisemitism, ask yourself if you should spend less time lecturing Jews concerned about antisemitism about when they're allowed to be concerned.
And to fix my inevitable typo that changes the meaning of my sentence: This should say "LESS as a problem on its face" etc etc
