I saw this on IG. While these are not my words, I agree with the sentiment. The major realization was after 10/7 when so many people rejoiced in our pain. While we do have allies outside of our community, we really have to rely on each other for the most part.

When you blame Jews for why the world, government, or media isn’t how you want to be— that’s presenting us as a superhuman cabal instead of human beings. And that’s antisemitism.

I'll end it there. I should note that I'm not straw manning here - responses like these are regularly sent to Jewish people on social media when they are upset about something antisemitic that has happened. Quite often by people with shit like "be kind" in their bios.

5) "Israel is the number 1 reason for antisemitism in the world." You know what? I actually don't think what people of any religion - Judaism, Islam, Russian Orthodoxy etc. are doing halfway around the world should serve as cover for you or others to behave like shit to their co-religionists here.

3) "You know who the REAL Semites are?" Just stop. You know what the phrase historically has meant ever since it was coined in the 19th century (by antisemites). Trying to split hairs makes you look about as clever as pricks who go "how can it be racist when Islam isn't a race?" Shut the fuck up.
