In every country, when things get bad, the upper classes tell a story to blame Jews and push away blame from themselves.

In Russia, the Tsarists put out a fake set of minutes called 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion', which they claimed showed a Jewish plot for world control

Unfortunately, in the 21st Century, people still fall for this antisemitic trick. They blame Jews for the problems in society rather than looking at the structures that make their lives hard.

This is even worse in difficult times, like, say, economic downturns or pandemics.

But it doesn't have to be this way. We don't have to be divided from each other while the rich get away with it.

Jews want the same things as everyone else: decent housing, safe communities, fairly paid jobs, a healthy society.

We can work for those things together.

Let me be very clear.

Black people are not my enemy. Immigrants are not my enemy. Other minorities are not my enemy.

Jews are not your enemy.

Our enemy is the class that wants to keep us divided, fighting each other for scraps.
