#Drawing a hard line between victims of antisemitism and colonization is really isolating actually

[rotzaprachim]

soooo many of the deep scars drawn up this week not only over antisemitism but colonialism and the legacy of violent imperialism. anyway I’ll say it again but many aspects of anti Asian racism and antisemitism are not fully interchangeable but deeply linked, and there are a lot of lines of ideological reasoning our communities should not be getting in bed with rn. One of the most significant is the “hive mind” that makes every Asian or Jew responsible for what states do in their name, another is inherent distrust or inscrutability over having “weird rituals” or secretly Evil plans, another is dual loyalties. Please be aware that if you see people using this logic towards one group they’ll likely be comfortable using it with another

#It should occur to many people that Jews can be victims of both? #We can hold multiple forms of trauma in our family history???? #Me and my other Ashkenazi friend who are Tagalog and Bengali especially #My friends who are Moroccan-Jewish and Baghdadi-Jewish #Drawing a hard line between victims of antisemitism and colonization is really isolating actually #I don’t enjoy being called a white coloniser over recognizing war crimes carried out against JOC #Seeing people make very simplistic takes on imperialism to jsutify various points I CAN HEAR YOU
