Antisemitism on the Left

definitelywicked:

Gentiles (AKA non-Jewish people) who talk about social justice seem to be confused or completely oblivious to what antisemitism is.

It’s not just calling for Jewish people to die or being a literal neo-nazi.

I regularly see Leftist/Liberal/Progressive/Social Justice gentiles that claim to be against antisemitism/nazis act incredibly antisemitic, so here’s a helpful list! 

And if you’re wondering WHY something on this list is antisemitic, Google is free!

• Saying you hate X group of Jews (white Jews, Israeli Jews, etc)
• Accusing a random Jew (ex: Gal Gadot) of killing children/being a war criminal with absolutely nothing to back up your claims.
• Calling Jewish people murderers, child-killers, etc. in general
• Calling Israel a white supremacist state.
• Celebrating the deaths of Jewish people (yes EVEN if they’re Israeli!)
• Holding all Jewish people (EVEN Israeli Jews) accountable for the actions of the Israeli government
• Asking Jewish people their stance on Israel out of any context.
• Dismissing any group of Jews as “white” (note: this does not include holding white-passing Jews accountable for their conditional white privilege/racism)
• Ignoring the fact that Jewish people can be of any ethnicity
• Dismissing the fact that Jewish people are an ethno-religious group
• Dismissing our connection to Israel
• Calling a Jewish person you don’t know a reptile/lizard person/goblin (example: The FineBros)
• Comparing acts of racism/genocides to the Holocaust (there are certain situations in which this is appropriate, but that’s up to Jewish people to decide)
• Acting like antisemitism isn’t only about discrimination against Jews and includes ALL semites.
• Acting like Jewish people are privileged for being Jewish (even if they’re white-passing!)
• Using anything involving Israelis/non-government related Israel events to Discourse about Israel.
• Bringing up the actions of the Israeli government in response to antisemitism.
• Acting as if antisemitism is deserved because of the actions of the Israeli government.
• Giving antisemitic gentiles a pass because they do other kinds of activism.
• “But Jews voted for Trump!”
• Inserting yourself into Jewish-only discussions.

Non-Jews are absolutely encouraged to reblog! But this is not an invitation to argue these points!

Jewish people are encouraged to add on!
