A lot of the conversation revolves around Nazis & yes, letâs hate Nazis. But thatâs easy. More people need to focus on loving, supporting, & standing up for Jewish people. Antisemitic people arenât only out-in-the-open white supremacists. Antisemitism is everywhere. 1/10
Punching Nazis, again, great-theyâre trash that deserve a good throat punch -but it does nothing to solve the problem of antisemitism. Start by looking at yourself and understand the ways in which you, yes you, perpetuate antisemitic stereotypes. 2/10
Stand up for us when you hear other people perpetuating those stereotypes. Do more than just say âoh, sadâ every time a synagogue or Jewish cemetery is vandalized (which is often). 3/10
Educate yourself. Regurgitating that 6m Jews were murdered during the Holocaust isnât enough. How did it get to that point? They didnât just start killing Jews. Years of propaganda & scapegoating- by the time Jews were dragged from their homes, their neighbors didnât care. 4/10
Do you know anything else about the history of the Jewish people? That the Black Plague was blamed on Jews? A conspiracy that Jews were poisoning the wells? They burnt Jews alive. Jews always required to live in their own areas (Jewish Ghettos) throughout European history. 5/10
