i think a lot of leftists refuse to recognize antisemitism on the left because they see it as a smear campaign. sure, lots of nonjews on the right will call leftists antisemites for being antizionist. but if ALL non jews just listened to us, you’d see it’s much more than that.

you have to understand there’s a big difference between christian zionists (and antisemites) telling you you’re being antisemitic and jewish leftists telling you you’re being antisemitic.

republican politicians claim the left is antisemitic for political “woke points,” and 99% of the they’re just pointing out antizionism. they are literally trying to manipulate jews into turning against the left as well.

your denial of actual, real, antisemitism in leftist spaces is only helping. please see the difference.

please listen to jewish leftists when we tell you to hear us. to really hear and listen to what we have to say. dismissing us before we open our mouths, no matter how great you think your justification is, is only glorified antisemitism and it has to stop.

i’m attaching some threads below on more common types of antisemitism in leftist circles and i strongly suggest you look through them. unlearning internalized antisemitism is a process, but it can only start if you let yourself listen.

a great thread on phrases like “abolish religion,” “religion is the root of all evil,” etc. this is prevalent in a lot of leftist spaces. the issue isn’t resenting christianity, it’s grouping religions like judaism and islam in with our oppressors. https://twitter.com/taliathejew/status/1305735831987130373

thread on jewish people and the top 1%. this sort of rhetoric is extremely prevalent in leftist spaces—and usually implicitly. another thing i’d say falls under this umbrella is the notion that jewish people are no longer oppressed. https://twitter.com/radiantbutch/status/1307425363233038336

thread on antizionism. many leftists will use antisemitic rhetoric while talking about israel, and use antizionism as a shield. know that jewish leftists are, more often than not, just criticizing your rhetoric, or the times you bring israel up—not your stance. https://twitter.com/radiantbutch/status/1323132893502279681

i don’t want this to be too long, so unless i have any really great threads that come to mind, i really strongly advise you all follow my friends @radiantbutch and @taliathejew who wrote the threads above of you want to see more content like this on your tl more often.
