In 1939, 53% of Americans said "Jews are different and should be restricted." We turned away tens of thousands of Jewish children. #Skittlespic.twitter.com/6IHkSjehhN

We must discuss the complexities of managing large refugee outflows. But how can anyone compare children to poison?https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/631817420781391872 …

Not to mention this. There are absolutely issues but the utter callousness of this "debate" is indefensible.https://twitter.com/astroehlein/status/773139635430105089 …

People telling me that the Jews in WWII were different: everything you hear about today's refugees (and worse) was said about them, too.
Most people today do not understand how pervasive antisemitism was in the 1930s.
A zillion people in my mentions saying to me "but the Jews then were good"; no idea of the history of racism against them?
