Depends on which segment of the Jewish population. As I noted, the Sulzbergers and Guggenheims would likely have gotten a pass (as did the Morgenthaus). Eastern European Jews, on the other hand, clearly didn't.

But it doesn't matter very much when the issue at hand is about how Jewish cartoonists were quite willing to promote White Supremacist tropes about other marginalized people (even as many of them were subjected to similar bigotry).

so, trying not to be overly irritated here, but as you're aware, I am in fact Jewish, and if you could not condescend to me about Jewish relationship to whiteness that would be cool.

Jewish racial identity was somewhat complicated,but Black people and people of color were almost entirely excluded from the comics industry at that time, and praising white Jewish people for their antifascism really needs to take that into account.

Jews were white in the old South. They ran businesses, including in the slave trade.
