I don't speak for all Black Jews, so I can not say my experience is the norm. However, it is despicable that while Jews were being held hostage, some people tweeted how police or armed guards would make people like ME unsafe at synagogues.
Not only was it disgusting to even start that conversation last night, but it shows how racist and paternalistic you genuinely are. Most of my experiences with the police have always been negative, while security at synagogues has never been an issue for me.
The people who routinely make this argument every time after a synagogue shooting and center Black Jews like we will 100% agree. WE DO NOT. These people offer no solution to the growing threat of attacks against our holy places in North America. Do not use us for your buffoonery.
Increased security saves lives. You can make these statements of "no police, no security" when you have NEVER been stopped by either. As a double minority, I know the risk to my life every day. Leave us out of your pathetic division.
