Many justice oriented folks I know have a deep understanding of the structural nature of other oppressions. They understand these oppressions don't solely exist in their most open and violent forms, but rather are deeply embedded into our society and culture. 2/x
However, they aren't (yet) able to make the jump that the same is true of antisemitism. It too is structural and deeply embedded in our culture. It exists outside of "fringe" (yet more and more mainstream) antisemites or murderous attacks like in Pittsburgh. 3/x
And this is exactly how it's supposed to work. Because antisemitism is cyclical. Because, as @TheRaDR notes, it *works better* when some Jews have privilege and success, many on the Left don't "see it" don't understand it to be a problem except in extreme forms. 4/xpic.twitter.com/HpkuJntGXK
And this "feature" of antisemitism - not seeing it, not understanding it to be a problem - further isolates Jews and creates the conditions for antisemitism to grow and grow. Because if you don't see it, how can you possibly fight against it and organize others to join you? 5/x
It's insidious how well this "feature" works. It's also why you don't see a broad, visible movement of allies to Jews working to end antisemitism in the way you see ally work for other targeted groups (even if those allies have a lot of work to do and are far from perfect). 6/x
This needs to change. Non-Jews have an incredible and important opportunity to come together to fight against antisemitism, alongside our Jewish brothers and sisters, until we end it. For good. 7/x
