sorry white jews are still pretending it's antisemitism to state the plain fact that jewish people can AND DO work to uphold white supremacy? STILL? it's 5781 this is tired.
firstofall, you don't need to BE white to uphold white supremacy. lots of people do it who aren't white. nonwhite people have for ages ALIGNED themselves with white supremacy in vain and desperate hopes of reaping proximate benefits.
candace owens isn't white, andy ngo isn't white, clarence thomas isn't white, these people are some valiant white supremacy footsoldiers regardless.
it's tiring the ways that jewish people constantly like to pretend that the fact we have been oppressed makes us UNIQUELY innocent of even the potential to do harm.
this is a tangent but once i was IN a jewish history museum, standing IN FRONT OF an exhibit about jewish slave owners in the us south and a white-skinned jewish person angrily snapped at me for "antisemitism" for talking about jewish participation in american chattel slavery
literally, i was discussing THE EXHIBIT WE WERE LOOKING AT with my friend -- talking about the SPECIFIC south carolina jewish person in the exhibit and the slaves HE owned and his places in jewish american history, and someone saw fit to fix their face n say i was doing a Bigotry
but that's emblematic i think of the general attitude many white jews have right now. a of all black jews aren't allowed to talk about jewish racism, period, cuz talking about it is antisemitic and personal harassment and not... us, discussing our own community
and 2 of all ANY introspection on the ways jewish people CHOOSE complicity with white supremacist projects is off limits. just can't talk about it!
how the fuck do you talk about stephen miller's work without acknowledging his white supremacy? it's nonsensical. he's jewish, he's a white supremacist, he is DRIVING us immigration policy.
his white supremacy is THE REASON for the work he does and the policies he pushes.
because... jewish people can uphold white supremacy!
the fact white supremacists want to kill us isn't relevant except in how pathetic it makes the jews who choose to carry their water.

jewishness cannot be a shield we hide behind as though it exempts us from responsibility. honestly, THAT'S more offensive to me, like what, are we not moral agents who make our own choices? are all jewish people too naive to understand context or the weight of our actions?
i don't think so! spending ages on deep and studied argument about the morality and meaning of actions is pretty central to judaism!
but suddenly when it comes to Jewish People Aligned With Nazis it's a no context allowed zone

me, personally, i have enough respect for my people to think that we are, in fact, capable of thinking through our world, our place and responsibilities in it.
so when i see jewish people making those choices, i don't need to divorce them from their jewishness OR their agency.

so yeah. jewish people can uphold white supremacy. jewish people do uphold white supremacy. if you're fighting tooth and nail to deny it that... sounds like a you problem!
im gonna live over here in the real world where we gotta acknowledge these things in order to fight them.
