Antisemitism on the Left

Gentiles (AKA non-Jewish people) who talk about social justice seem to be confused or completely oblivious to what antisemitism is.

It’s not just calling for Jewish people to die or being a literal neo-nazi.

I regularly see Leftist/Liberal/Progressive/Social Justice gentiles that claim to be against antisemitism/nazis act incredibly antisemitic, so here’s a helpful list! 

And if you’re wondering WHY something on this list is antisemitic, Google is free!

• Saying you hate X group of Jews (white Jews, Israeli Jews, etc)
• Accusing a random Jew (ex: Gal Gadot) of killing children/being a war criminal with absolutely nothing to back up your claims.
• Calling Jewish people murderers, child-killers, etc. in general
• Calling Israel a white supremacist state.
• Celebrating the deaths of Jewish people (yes EVEN if they’re Israeli!)
• Holding all Jewish people (EVEN Israeli Jews) accountable for the actions of the Israeli government
• Asking Jewish people their stance on Israel out of any context.
• Dismissing any group of Jews as “white” (note: this does not include holding white-passing Jews accountable for their conditional white privilege/racism)
• Ignoring the fact that Jewish people can be of any ethnicity
• Dismissing the fact that Jewish people are an ethno-religious group
• Dismissing our connection to Israel
• Calling a Jewish person you don’t know a reptile/lizard person/goblin (example: The FineBros)
• Comparing acts of racism/genocides to the Holocaust (there are certain situations in which this is appropriate, but that’s up to Jewish people to decide)
• Acting like antisemitism isn’t only about discrimination against Jews and includes ALL semites.
• Acting like Jewish people are privileged for being Jewish (even if they’re white-passing!)
• Using anything involving Israelis/non-government related Israel events to Discourse about Israel.
• Bringing up the actions of the Israeli government in response to antisemitism.
• Acting as if antisemitism is deserved because of the actions of the Israeli government.
• Giving antisemitic gentiles a pass because they do other kinds of activism.
• “But Jews voted for Trump!”
• Inserting yourself into Jewish-only discussions.

Non-Jews are absolutely encouraged to reblog! But this is not an invitation to argue these points!

Jewish people are encouraged to add on!

Refusing to research and try to understand antisemitism the way you do with other forms of oppression and then just using ignorance as an excuse

GOOD ADDITION
