    And a ban on American Jewish women talking about American Jews? Sure seems that way. Not only frustrating — inaccurate. This presents an incomplete picture of both communities. That's why I write so much about women. To correct the record.

  7. Amazing: still can't bear to quote a single woman, even though , , , and myself have all made every single point in this article many times over. Does have a ban on women talking about Israel?

    Oh, and stop with the canard that European Jews were murdered because they were not white. Whiteness was constructed different in Europe than in the US. They weren’t murdered for not being white, but for not being Aryan.

    the voices of Jews of color are not the enemy. Your work amplifying those voices has shown that. Rather the enemy are those who would divide the house of Israel with baseless hatred masquerading as hasbara against communal reflection and commitment to be better.
