Hi, Viewer from the Dominican Republic here. I hate to be an "actually" person, but actually the person who agreed to take the jews in, was a president called Rafael Leonidas Trujillo aka the worst dictator in the DR's history and the reason he took the jews in is popularly believed to be a part of his plan to introduce more "fair skin" into the country, since he was profoundly racist. And if it seems contradictory that he was a racist but took jews in, here in the DR racism is way more about skin colors than it is about ethnicities.

[@pashpashe]

As a black person, I have to say that this video really helped me understand a lot of questions i've been having about antisemitism. I won't lie that I have often considered many jewish as white and have not taken their problems as seriously as I should. Dismissing their calls of antisemitism as exaggerated because I thought they were not important, at least not as much as facing black people. I was going to click away when I saw the video was almost an hour but now I'm glad I watched the whole thing. Not only was it interesting but it challenged a lot of the underlying thoughts I had been having about antisemitism. So thank you for making this video.

[@Always_wandering]

I'm Jewish and really support what BLM has been trying to achieve, but have really struggled with the antisemitism of the leaders. When I question or say I disagree with it, I'm not welcome and sometimes have faced outrage. I don't feel like I am welcome, so have felt like I have to stand aside. I try to buy from black owned businesses, learn about racism to improve myself and help others learn, advocate reforms, vote, change the systems in the ways that I can, but still do not feel comfortable with the BLM leaders. I've had many talks with other Jews who feel like, yes antisemitism is bad and growing worse, but BIPOC have it worse, so we should be quiet and address that first, even though they are tied together. Thank you for starting to understand that it is a tightrope and I hope you can learn a bit more about the history of the tropes that are used and how they have been used.

[@somegirl4631]

as a jew, no real racist white person considers Jews white, since we are originally middle easterns, and even if our skin colour is different than it was 2,000 years ago we still have lots of middle eastern DNA that white supremacists think of as "Disgusting" in fact, im also an arab jew (jew that her grandparents and community lived in an arab country) and even within Asia and the middle east we are classified as Hebrews, there is a word in Arabic to Jews which is the equivalent of "N" word that my grandfather used to hear in Iraq a lot, it's "Yehud". in the past highly respected Muslim leaders used to insult each other with this word, because even suggesting that there is Jewish blood in you was, in the society of back than, like having "devil's blood" in your veins. my grandfather suffered a lot in iraq because of this.

[@yelircaasi]

This is interesting. As a white person, I get the sense that you can fall into the racist trap on either end. Seeing Jews as fundamentally different and "other" is racist, given that Jews have been a part of "the West" (whatever that is) for centuries. You can also go too far the other way by failing to see that many forms of Judaism do maintain a partially distinct culture and heritage. It seems like a balancing act.

[@somegirl4631]

@@yelircaasi jews were always in this unstable middle ground. this is basically one of the reasons for antisemitism, in Iraq, my family was the same "race" technically (middle eastern, like arabs, that's why we are called arab jews) but it was still a pendulum of "same- but will always would be inherently different from everyone else."

[@christinameyer6984]

One thing that I have found really interesting in conversations I have had about anti-Semitism is people praising Germany for educating the youth about the Holocaust and anti-Semitism, but I found travelling in Germany that many people were extremely uncomfortable when I mentioned my Jewish grandfather who was a Holocaust survivor. My flatmate's sister mentioned that she was Jewish to several good friends, and they could not believe it. They were uncomfortable to realize that their close friend was Jewish. I never really understood where this discomfort came from until a German friend of mine came and stayed with my flatmates and me in Manhattan (all my flatmates are Jewish). We would casually mention and make insider jokes about Judaism, and she later asked me about why we did that. I realized in our ensuing conversation that although German children are taught from a young age about the Holocaust and how anti-Semitism is wrong, there are so few Jews in Germany now that no one really thinks of Judaism as a modern phenomenon and a religion/culture that exists in the modern-day. I've seen this happen with Americans and Indigenous Americans where we like to think of their colonization and genocide as a thing of the past. There's a certain comfort in drawing a hard line between the sins of the past and the present. One reason I love this video so much is that it focuses on these historical continuities that connect the past and the present. If the German educational system only focuses on anti-Semitism in the past and a little bit on its existence today but does not really touch on the lives and lived experiences of the millions of Jews in the world, then people don't have to deal with the continuing legacy of trauma inflicted upon a people. I recommend for all people to not just learn about anti-Semitism but to also engage with knowledge beyond the "struggle narrative."

[@MC-tl5bf]

so true

[@luciaflores1901]

Wow this is an amazing comment! Thank you, it really made me think abt the education system in not just Germany but also the United States. Why can’t we be taught important lessons about history without making the US seem so heroic and like a saving country? Lol I know this question might not make much sense... sorry abt that

[@justalostlocal]

Christina Meyer Thank you for your comment. I’m a German student currently. Next year my selected class will be dealing with right wing ideologies in connection with post/modern art and at the end we’ll write a thesis. Your comment inspire me to seek out artists who explore past trauma in relation with present. It’s true that schools repeatedly teach us about First and Second World War but not nearly as often about current state of minority groups in Germany or the lasting fallouts they have on social dynamics. Like you said it’s comfortable to seal up the past, but history never exist in a vacuum. Without dealing with it’s influence we’ll ever achieve peace.

[@HanBlack314]

I experienced the German educational system and I couldn't agree more. The problem is that there is a big myth about "Entnazifizierung" which means that after the second World War the German society got rid of all the Nazis in power and left their world views behind. Which is simply not true. In the 50s and 60s most Germans still saw the end of the second world war as loosing, not being liberated as it's told today. There was and is lot of continuity of Nazi Power in politics and economics. The 68 student movement tried to address that (it had it's own problems anyway) - but today the myth is that White supremacy and anti-semitism is a thing of the past and couldn't happen again because Germans are so expertly taught about the Holocaust - which isn't true and blatantly clear in today's politics. For more about how this myth came to be I suggest reading Max Czolleks "Desintegriert euch!" (Desintegrate yourself! )

[@hannahseling1513]

As a German student, I can offer you one more point of consideration perhaps. In Germany, the holocaust and nationalsozialismus and all that jazz is only discussed in highly specific contexts. We talk about it in school, sure, outside of that it is considered to be, let's just say, unsuitable for polite society. It is a highly uncomfortable topic for many people, which they prefer not to talk about. It's not quite a taboo (although it most certainly is a faux-pas), as much as it is something that has been given so much power and attention that free discussion of it just isn't possible without people growing upset. We are a culture that doesn't really talk about things. Rigid adherence to remaining "polite" and not wanting to think about it too actively and just going about your day. I find an elephant in a crowded room an apt analogy; everyone is perfectly aware of its existence, and they simply walk around it because they find it an uncomfortable topic to give too much depth to. I mean, do you particularly want to think about an elephant that is in a crowded room? How did it get there? Why is it there? Who is continuing to keep it there? People are aware of modern anti-semitism. It's impossible not to be, but they avoid talking about it on most occasions. There is also a legacy of trauma for this topic on the German side of things, which goes widely ignored. There is a reason for this of course. We were the perpetrators not the victims. (upon re-reading this I kind of want to add more, but I'm not entirely sure what to add, since there would be a disconnect to the original content of my comment + i'm tire since high schools have re-opened and I now have classes till 18:00)

Hate to be a killjoy, but I gotta provide some historical context for the Dominican Republic accepting Jewish refugees - as nice as the result was, the reason for this was the policy of "blanqueamiento" by the dictator Rafael Trujillo (ironically a genuine fascist himself), which was meant to make the Dominican nation "whiter" by encouraging European immigration and committing a genocide against the Haitian minority in the Dominican Republic to prevent interracial relationships. Not to attack Abby or anything, love her content, I just think people should probably be aware that the far-right Trujillo regime, which ruled during the WWII era, wasn't progressive on racial politics or something - it's just that its anti-Haitian racism beat the more common anti-Semitism.

23:20 - "One of the core tenets of Judaism is that Jews are the chosen people." *_NO._* Most people misunderstand this concept. Jews are not _the_ chosen people, Jews are _Yahweh's_ chosen people. Being chosen by Yahweh doesn't make the Jews better than anyone else, it makes the Jews subject to Yahweh's law and judgement -- whereas other people remained subject to the laws and judgements _of their own gods._ Judaism was formulated in the midst of a polytheistic culture, and Yahweh was never meant to be one god for all of humanity -- only to be one god for _the Jews specifically._ In Genesis, when Adam eats the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, Yahweh says "Now man has become like us" -- "us" was misconstrued by Medieval European culture to mean "the royal we", but "us" in the original context _actually_ means the _community of gods,_ of which Yahweh was a single member. Jews never had any expectation that the rest of humanity should have to conform to Yahweh's laws -- ask anyone who has actually studied Jewish religious law. THAT idea came from Christianity.

As a Jew, I think this video hardly skimmed the surface at all. Since you talked to Jewish script consultants I was hoping you might dive into what it's like being a Jew today and seeing anti-semitism rear its ugly head still. Being the descendant of four holocaust survivors there is a lot of intergenerational trauma lending itself to dysfunction. It's crazy that the Nazis who traumatized my grandparents can affect my life nearly 80 years later. I wish your video would have touched on what it's like to grow up being told stories of what happened to your grandparents and living with this hypervigilance/fear of it happening again. After all, all of our holidays revolve around the theme of some nation trying to eradicate us and either failing or almost succeeding. Unfortunately, in a way the theme of anti-semitism is core to our culture as a reaction to always being a scapegoat. It's wild to pass as a white person but to live around constant reminders that you are "The Other", even in small situations where people meant no harm. Being a Jew is a weird blend of masquerading as 'normal' while understanding that you will always be a foreigner.

I hesitated for about a week to watch this video upon seeing the title. I'm usually afraid to hear about non-Jewish peoples opinions on antisemitism , because it's usually used for a particular agenda, or is just wrong, even if the intention is good. After watching this, I can say that it's good... damn good. If there is anything that I've learned in my time on this planet, it's that non Jews hate it when Jews try to explain what antisemitism is, and to be honest, we don't do a good job of it ourselves. It's really really complicated, because it deals with the human condition in a subconscious sort of way, at least to some extent. Overly Sarcastic Productions did a video called "The Persistence of Judaism", which to me has been the gold standard and my go to video in explaining Judaism and antisemitism in a single video. That video finally has company. Thank you Philosophy Tube for taking the time and doing the difficult research into a very complicated topic. As I write this there are 3,892 comments, and 235,707 views- (thanks to all of you that took the time to watch it, and to those who gave it a thumbs up),- so I highly doubt many will read this, but if by chance you do read this, Philosophy Tube, I want to say Toda Raba תודה רבה

[@mr.peanut2096]

Ian Miles there is nothing intrinsically wrong with it. It’s just that non-Jews have never experienced anti-semitism, so it’s hard for them to understand what it’s like. It’s like how a cis person can’t really understand transphobia. A cis person could do a lot of research, and talk to a lot of trans people and get a good idea of transphobia, but that would still only be a theoretical academic understanding. A cis person still wouldn’t know what it’s like to victimized because of their gender identity. Likewise, a non-Jew can do a lot of research and talk to a lot of Jews and get a good (but not perfect) understanding of antisemitism. However, people rarely put in the amount of work required to understand these topics, so when non-Jews discuss antisemitism they tend to miss the mark.

A Jew and historian here: excellent video. I liked it very very much, and as a Jew I feel and believe you tackled it superbly. I would add some sections, though. I mean, what about other forms of antisemitism that aren't necessarily white supremacist? And the relationship between totalitarianism and authoritarianism to antisemitism specifically? There's also the issue of antisemitism in fact being similar to homophobia than other forms of discrimination, for two reasons: 1) The idea of the Jew and the gay person (particularly male) not being easily identifiable to the bigot. PoCs are clearly identifiable, for example, by their physical traits. The former two aren't. This causes a massive upsurge of the bigot's paranoia. 2) The common idea that both Jews and gays somehow cause the "degeneration" of the "white race" or whatever other society (yes, it's extensive in the Middle East for different reasons as well). Would love to find more opinions on the subject too. As always, hope you have a great day.

[@sophiejones7727]

Well, here's a good example of antisemitism that isn't really white supremacist. Washington DC held a march for lesbians called the Dyke March during Pride last year. They encouraged people to bring Pride flags with symbols of other groups, including religious groups, on them. However, they asked that people please not bring flags with a Star of David. The Star of David is the symbol of Judaism, and more importantly the only Jewish symbol which is inclusive of women. While it is on the flag of Israel, a Pride flag with a Star of David is not an Israeli flag. Nor does it show support for Israel. Putin is using the Orthodox church as an excuse to persecute gay people in Russia, but the march did not outlaw the Orthodox cross. They *could*. have said not to bring flags with religious symbols on them: and nobody would likely have complained. After all, anyone in the gay community (even those who are deeply religious) understands that religion is a touchy subject for their fellows. Many people have faced some horrific persecution by religious institutions, and so seeing a religious symbol might very well ruin someone's day. The organizers of this march were mainly black and latina, and part of their reasoning for this rule was to support people who are (mainly) considered black in the US: the Palestinians. However, partially unknowingly, they stumbled into anti-semitism.

I'm actually the opposite of you me thinks.

I think Jews hijacked the 2nd World war and used it to vilify and destroy Germany and making it all about them in their victimhood. They destroyed the German nation and cut its balls off, then cried victim. In saying that, I do believe the Israeli people are people too and have as much a right as anyone else to exist and support the state of Israel and her dealings in that region. I actually like the modern Israeli state and how her people have come together and by and large formed a modern secular society . All of Israels military actions have been legit, and I admire their skill in war and her lack of carrying out excesses of brutality on your enemies.

[@hellofriend545]

Hello friend! A good question, if an uncomfortable one. Before I try to tackle that, let’s make one thing clear: claiming genetic superiority over anyone is never okay. Besides the obvious immorality of such implications, you also get into the tricky manipulations of pseudoscience and messy misinterpretations of research when trying to open up this rabbit-hole of a conversation. Though there are biological factors that can affect races differently (which is worth studying to understand, for example, how certain diseases can affect people differently), this data doesn’t offer up anything solid to make racist assumptions, but people like to use such information to pursue their own agendas. Scientists can often feel conflicted when they uncover certain things, because they know some people will abuse their work. For example, when studying the origins of the human species, some researchers found evidence that our earlier species might have actually bred with another similar species, making our global genetic lineages somewhat different. It’s interesting work, but unfortunately controversial bc people have agendas. Scientists just be trying to chill with their fossils. Natural history is awesome! Racism is not. But what about the big question: why are there so many influential Jews when we only make up 2% of the global population? Well, I only have my own thoughts on this, so I’d have to get back to you with some research. But I think there are two main factors: 1) benefitting from white privilege, whilst also 2) having a good network of Jews in the intellectual and middle to upper classes. I think Jews do make an effort to lift each other up, bc there is this sense of community there. Just like any wealthy Christian dude would lift up his friends and family, Jews tend to trust the recommendations of their peers. That’s the crazy thing about Jewish people-we call it “Jewish Geography.” You meet another random Jewish person, talk for a bit, and realize you’ve got at least one friend or family member in common. And that commonality can open up a lot of doors. People can say, “oh! I have a friend who does stuff like that, let me introduce you.” Networking is a huge part of success in general. And also, you can hide being Jewish, not in a sneaky way-it’s just that you can be white passing. No one suspects that the prejudices they might be harboring could apply to you. So that’s my theory anyways. Jews are just typically well-connected. Of course, there are still impoverished Jews and Jewish POC who are suffering their own injustices. But there are Jewish organizations that specifically cater to and try to lift these people out of poverty. And don’t “all lives matter” this idea-people can focus on communities they want to better without worrying about saving the whole world. And Jews are very active against hate, bc white supremacy sucks. We would know. TL;DR: In my opinion, as a Jew, there seems to be a good network in place. Not a sneaky conspiratorial network-it’s just that Jews reach out and help each other. We be networking. Stay safe and wash your hands everybody! :)

maybe you Should read more about Zionism and understand it's place in history. Zionism was basically the realisation that Jews can't live in peace in Europe and it doesn't matter how much they assimilate, they will always face antisemitism and pogroms. The idea was to establish a country where Jews can live in peace. That's it. Today "Zionism" is used as an antisemitic propaganda tool. Saying zionists are like Nazis is just very wrong and not based on facts. I'm very critical of Israels politics but it has to be treated as politics and not some kind of "evil zionist club". And for the necessity of a place where Jews can live without discrimination I dare you to walk a month with a kippa in Germany or look at Attila Hildemans telegram group.

I've seen so many things invalidating how harmful anti-Semitism is or that Jews aren't actually a minority or targeted in any way and it's just scary and hurtful. I don't support a lot of what Israel's government does but people have to understand that it was made because throughout our whole history every single country we settled down in kicked us out in some horribly violent way and none of the other countries wanted to accept us so we were stuck. Israel gets rid of the fear of having no where to escape to...it's a safe haven and It's the only Jewish country in the world. Not to mention that it has been genetically traced that Jews are indigenous to that area of land (yes even the white looking Jews). There have been so many nights when I just stayed up and cried because of how scared I was. And it very often feels like the only people I can rely on to stand up for me are fellow Jews because the right doesn't see us as white enough to be worth fighting for and the left sees us as too white to be worth fighting for.

I've got a few things people can pounder on regarding antisemitism in France during and after the Dreyfus affair: 1)At the end of the 19th century, the best selling book of fiction was The Wandering Jew by Eugene Sue. It's a book that takes the antisemitic trope of the wandering Jew and reverses it. Did the compassion and newfound sympathy for jews help Dreyfus ? Nope. Which does beg the question of the actual power of art and creation in regards to politics... 2) the tribunal in which the second trial for Dreyfus took place is now a high school, in Rennes. It was named the Lycée Zola in 1971. Why? Because although the city wanted to honour the memory of the trial, they thought it would be improper to name it after Dreyfus. ie. After the actual name of the victim of the case. Because apparently it was not politically correct to give the name of a victim of antisemitism to a public institution? Because it was easier for people to deal with what had happened in that place if you only gave it the name of a famous writer who had helped the victim? ( don't try and count how many public schools are named after Zola. It's outrageous. Don't try to count either how many of them are named after Dreyfus. ... As far as I know : 0). 3) acts of antismetism have been on the rise. +69% in 2018 ( French Wikipedia: Antismetism in France) . And every year cemeteries are degraded with swastika, antisemitic insults and other nice words ( in German mind you). 4) when Mein Kampf entered public domain in Europe, the French government forbid any publishing of the text. ANY publishing. Scholars had worked to produce a critical edition of the text and they could not publish it because it was seen as too dangerous. Germans scholars did it. France, we prefer to ignore the text circulating online without allowing for a scientific approach because what if we're seen as promoting antisemitism. Guess what? You're doing just that by forbidding people to work on the text and point out it's incoherence. Good job. I'm not going to go into France and nazis because that's a bag of crazy cats and I don't want to write another gibberish comment like above. But I want to add to the question of whiteness and who is actually white ??? in the 1920s in France, Italians were not considered white. Italians. Who is white isn't defined by the color of their skin, it's based on how integrated you can be in society compared to a less integrated group. In the 1930s when Spanish people fled from Franco, Italians became "more" accepted. Because there were the Spanish who where considered even less white ie lesser than them !! And that game of cat and mouse is still going on now. TLDR: France has a big big issue with antisemitism and it's getting worse because no one is willing ( outside of visible or violent attacks when they can't just swipe it under the rug) to recognize every day antisemitism. Ps : kudos for speaking french!! (although I would recommend asking for someone to proof-read next time you try another language ;) I'm sure you're not lacking in terms of multilingual audience willing to help!!) EDIT: fun fact I completely forgot. Another best seller of the 19th century in France is La France Juive by Drumont. Complete antisemitic pamphlet. It was continuously published and is still being published nowadays by the far right ! Cheers...

Number 2 seemed to me through your comment to me like a question of "french heroism". They would prefer to be remembered for the french individual who risked his reputation/freedom/life to defend the jewish man than with all the other french people who attacked the man, after all, the jewish man is still an "other", and remembering this other would make them automatically remember what they did for him. "We the french are not the ones who wanted to kill the 'jew', we are the one who wanted to save him." It's like Brazil with princess Isabel, we love to glorify her for "abolishing slavery" and we still see attacks against figures of actual black people who had their part in the fight against slavery. "We the brazilians are not all the people who enslaved 'blacks', we are that white woman who freed them". This is only possible because black people, even though being a big part of our society, are still the "other" to us.

There's a bit of a joke about Ashkenazi cuisine being suuuuuper boring, especially compared to Sephardic and Mizrahi food. But it ignores the fact that throughout much of the Middle Ages, we weren't allowed to own land in most Eastern European countries. No where for cattle to graze, nowhere to plant crops, and not enough money to buy higher quality food. So what we see is lots of chicken and fish, eggs, and root vegetables. Things that were cheap, could be raised indoors, or could be foraged for. And on very special occasions, we get to have barley and brisket (considered for most of time to be THE crap cut of beef).

Excellent work, as always. Speaking as a Palestinian American, I think this sort of discussion is crucial. From my perspective Palestinian-Jewish solidarity is the only way forward for Palestinian people. I do think there's much more discussion to be had about how the Palestinian-Israeli conflict interacts with antisemitism through many different channels. Whether it's casual antisemitism that can be internalized at times by Palestinian Arabs, or Israeli Political Institutions allying themselves with antisemitic groups in the united-states for short term political reasons. There is a lot worthy of discussion. I personally believe that antisemitism shares has its roots in deeply orientalist ideology that also informs other racisms including anti-Arab racism. I believe that if this connection were explored it would elucidate why Palestinian-Jewish solidarity is essential to defeating antisemitism and fascism. And why those are central to resolving the conflict between Palestinian and Israeli people.

[@calrosenblatt8115]

As a jewish American I wholeheartedly agree with you. I think the only way forward is to join together in a one state solution. All palistinians should be made citizens and given equal rights. A system to help all the poor of the new nation should also be implemented for everyone (basicly saftey nets that would bring the poor of the new nation to have equal footing with the other more fortunate.).

Whether, a two state or a one state solution is best is well beyond my ability to assess. And though we may have opinions on this topic, I think that as a Palestinian-American it's increasingly important for me to stand up very specifically against antisemitism in America. Not only because it's right, but also because it's necessary for the Palestinian people as well.

[@eaa2014]

clarifying point: jews lived in palestine and were Palestinian civilians, both prior to the British mandate and under it as well. it was the title of anyone who lived in that geographic region, which included jews as well as arabs, and other religious and ethnic groups as well. The area was renamed Palestine by the romans during the Roman Empire so anyone in that region in the following centuries after they took over were Palestinians.

I grew up in a white, christian-baptist household in the deep south of the US. To say racism is normalized there is an understatement. It's basically brainwashed into you as a kid. To this day, my grandparents still treat me like I'm mentally ill for not being racist. If I hadn't been gay, and experienced their hatred of others occasionally directed at me, I worry I might not have been able to avoid being "brainwashed" the way I did. Today, and for the past 4 years, I just so happened to have a boyfriend who was Amish growing up. (No exaggeration, actual Amish) neither of us are actively religious, but neither of us has outwardly rejected our religion either. It's strange how much more our religions and LGBT status matters to other people, when it means so little to us. - It's strange indeed. As two strong, white, able-bodied men in America the amount of bigotry, hatred, disparagement, and unfair treatment we receive. Yet, because of how much privilege we still benefit from for being those things, some people want to treat us like we have no right to complain about anything. As if any trauma I received form being treated with bigotry for being LGBT is something we fabricated for attention or something. - As if benefiting from the same privilege they do, just a little, is more than enough to compensate for the systemic abuse we face. While that's a horrible thought, I still can't help but think back to my first boyfriend (who was black and christian) and the amount he struggled in life. Rejected by almost everyone in his life, despite being charming, intelligent, and massively talented. I look at what he's been through and I do sometimes also think "Is what I've been through really so bad?" - But the way you framed this, helps me place that thought a lot better in my head. What I've been through is terrible. What my ex went through was even more terrible. (No I don't mean dating me, har har) Others in the world have gone through much worse than he has too though. It's all part of the same issue, and minimizing my suffering because he suffered worse, just to minimize his suffering because someone else suffer worse serves only to distract from the cause of the suffering and reward and defend those inflicting it. All of the bigotry matters, and all of it is connected. (If loosely) - Also, I appreciate you touching on the concept of blaming the victims of abuse for being targeted. I don't think any idea makes me more angry then this one, and I've seen it more and more lately. That I should change how I act, because someone wants to hate crime me. As if I'm the asshole not respecting the feelings of someone who wants to hate crime me for breathing. As if it's on me, the victim, to cower away, hide, and pretend I don't exist, because my existence hurts the poor feelings of the radicalists who wants to hate crime me to death, again, just for breathing. - As if it's a two way political discussion, as if each of our sides deserves equal respect and empathy. It's not and they don't. It's not political for me to draw a breath. It's not political to want me dead for drawing it without fear. It's one-sided abuse. It's basically like responding to domestic abuse with 'Well, if she didn't want to be hit so hard, maybe she should have just pleased her man better!" ....You are litterally telling me, the victim, that the person abusing me is valid in doing so!! That it's MY place to adjust MY behavior, to make the person abusing me HAPPIER, so I stop receiving their "punishment". When in reality, the person abusing me would do so REGARDLESS of my behavior!! - "Victim" is not a 2 way straight. People don't "cause" being victimized. Bigots victimize anyone they can, for any reason they can cobble together. They can not be reasoned with or placated. It's witch hunting, nothing more, nothing less. - I can tell you, as someone who grew up in a bigoted household. Bigots have no reason. Ending the racism burned into my skull as a small child wasn't a matter of finding a logical reason against it, it was a matter of introspection. They hate because they were told to hate as kid. They want someone to blame, and they fabricate reasons to blame the people they were taught to hate growing up, for no other reason than they were taught too. They were born with a target painted on their eyes, the target is not on my back and no amount of scrubbing my back will make me "clean" to these people. No amount of hiding will make me or others safe. It only make the bigots feel as if they've won when we cower and hide or change ourselves in response to their abuse.

Wow! Thank you so much for this comment. It was sooooo impactful I completely understand what you mean abt the “victim” thing and ones pain is still there’s even if their suffering can be considered “less than” one others, with that said I myself have dealt with those thoughts. My pain isn’t as bad as others so why am I complaining? But then it also made me think abt the word “victim” and it’s associated with a weaker person and a stronger one .. at least that what I’ve learned so far. I would like to know what you think abt “victim hood”. Thank you.

as a palestinian-american, it can be extremely frustrating to see my father being casually antisemitic and falling into that "socialism of fools" idea where instead of directing his frustration and dissatisfaction toward capital and the bourgeoisie, he believes in the idea that those pulling the strings are rich jews. i tried confronting him about it once because i was hopeful that maybe he was just anti-zionist due to his own families experience of being pushed out of palestine, unfortunately it became clear that those sentiments were a jumping off point that led to actual antisemitism.

[@stalfithrildi5366]

I feel you on that one. My dad now believes me to be further left than Stalin cos I'm not racist enough towards the brown or, as per this video, the recently Hwitened

Being German is awkward on the question of Israel or Polish democracy.

[@erinprizant5542]

We're Jewish Americans and trying to talk to my dad about Israel is so painful sometimes because he's so Islamophobic. I've tried pushing back against it when I can because sometimes he'll actually listen to me and my opinions (unlike most conservatives), but it's something I can't seem to get him to budge on. It's depressing.

[@hanami741]

well polish democracy is indeed falling apart, and EU does nothing about it. Idk how it is possible that crazy people can ruin countries and nobody is made accountable for this, at least on the international level. People who dismantle court system and blatantly ignore constitution when in power, should be put in front of some tribunal, and then go to jail for long long years. Idk how many WWII experiences we need to finally get it. Humankind is so stupid, i can't.

My father, who is ethnically Jewish (family emigrated from Russia circa early 1900s), and was raised in a liberal Jewish household on the west coast, converted around a decade ago to some iteration of born again christianity. He also took a hard right swing. ( That AM talk radio is a helluva drug, I reckon. ) It's truly impossible to have a conversation with him about Israeli-Palestinian relations because of a deep, rabid Islamophobia. He has told me that... well, honestly, it's too ugly and probably triggering for some to even say. But suffice it to say that his outspoken bigotry, bible thumping and politics have strained our relationship to the point where it barely exists. His Islamophobia is in so many ways similar to how anti-Jewish sentiment manifests, and there is a distinct Western chauvinism / white supremacy to it. I've grappled with understanding it for years, but always my mind balks at what seems like the sheer absurdity of how his mind works (or doesn't).

Three weeks late and (because am on laptop/PC generally so unfamiliar with mobile applications and notifications for comment) not sure if you'll ever see this, but: Hope things are going well for you. Being just one of young, Jewish, or trans is tough enough; meanwhile you're all three, so you've got to be composed of some seriously strong stuff. Best of luck to you, go kick ass and better the world. If anyone tries to give you shit, just say "fuck 'em" and keep on keepin' on.

I hope one day we will be able to differentiate between both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict ethnically, religiously and nationally. Being tolerant of Jews doesn't mean being anti-palestine or anti-islam or even anti-arab, the other way around is true, being pro-palestine doesn't make you antisemite , antisemites love to demonstrate the horrors happened to Palestinians as jews' fault, the same way we would consider king Leopold's killing of 10m Congolese people as a Christian genocide (which we don't, but rather blame him individually or politically) they support Palestinians not because they love them because they are the "other" to the jews, just like when an anti-islamist try to show crimes committed to non muslims in the muslim world (specifically the middle East) and when isis dominated the levant everyone was worried what's gonna happen to minorities in the region but no one seemed to care or mention the Muslim victims of isis( which if you don't know: are the majority of their victims) ,they didn't mention minorities because they cared about them ; but because they were the "other" to muslims,so when you see an antisemite who supports Palestine, you have to know that he doesn't *support* a certain group but he is *against* another one; it's not a moral virtue of his, but rather a tool to justify what he says because ffs antisemitism is a product of WHITE supremacy and as far as I'm concerned arabs are not considered white, they're even ( technically) Semites.I would look at it just like the first-past-the-post election process, you don't vote for a party because you love it but because it's "not the other party" party (B4B reference here) when your original choichoice is clearly losing . I wrote all of this for the ones above that are undoubtedly begin a commentary war . I'm not sure if they even watched the whole video or just jumped to the comments. Stay safe everyone.

You know, I once made a comparison between anti-Semitism and pornography. Both are seemingly ubiquitous across all cultures at all times and you can find a lot of both on the internet. I concluded that, much like pornography, anti-Semitism must fulfill some sort of basic irrational need. I just couldn't figure out what it was. Abby just provided that answer. It fulfills the basic purpose of defining the other, even when the other in question is absent. Because like images designed purely for the purpose of gratifying oneself to, it doesn't need to make sense. In the case of anti-Semitism, it just has to tell you who to hate.

[@d_camara]

I like your thoughts, it's a good segway to put in the very start of a talk about antisemitism and most other kinds of bigotry, a quick very way to explain the fundamentals

[@quesocoatl21]

Who do you think created the pornography industry in the West?

[@I_EaTApple]

Benschachar Of course we have a antisemite here. But if you know. Modern day pornography was created by two horny French men by the name of Eugène Pirou and Albert Kirchner. Both are not Jewish. In matter intact. They are barely any Jews in the modern day porn industry.
