Jewish on Yik Yak | I wish more people recognized how dangerous it is for Jews to have the Trump administration arresting its political enemies in the name of “antisemitism.” It’s a lot easier for antisemites to convince people of real antisemitic shit when they do that

Which, honestly, I think may be partially the point. They are legally justifying this as because of opposition to US foreign policy, with a law created to target Ashkenazi immigrants from Eastern Europe. That’s what it’s about, US foreign policy they are using Jews as a shield to normalize this stuff, so antisemites can deflect the blame from Trump It’s just like what the Romans did when they forced Jews to be tax collectors to get the taxed to develop an animosity towards us instead of them

the trump administration has painted jews to look like they’re saying it’s antisemitic to not use taxpayer money to arm israel. really we just want our synagogues to stop being defaced, stop getting blocked from going to class, or any *actual* antisemitism.

It’s so frustrating because it shoves Jews (the actual victims) out of the narrative. I definitely think people like Khalil should face consequences for their actions but when it’s done this way in some hokey from of “protection” it becomes a whole other issue and makes them into victims while ignoring actual Jewish pain and suffering.

There are some Jews saying that stuff—including the fucking ADL now, such a disappointment—but it’s definitely a minority

and that’s what makes it so frustrating. they’re using a minority voice from a minority to paint us all with the same brush

Unfortunately that minority voice within the minority is in the administration right now. Those are the Jews more likely to support Republicans, so they are the ones in their coalition And they’re putting us all in danger

I remember we were talking about it in class when Khalil was first arrested and I was so frustrated because these goy idiots were talking about all the other stuff and blaming the Jews as if we wanted it because we wanted some basic accountability just not like this. Meanwhile I’m thinking “Oh so we’re not going to address the rampant antisemitism and endangerment of Jewish students/Jewish life because of this whole fiasco? Great awesome wow”

Khalil didn’t even do anything bad or antisemitic as far as I’m aware!

As far as you’re aware and how you judge it. But to many Jewish people, especially the ones at Columbia, he did a lot of bad and antisemitic things that seriously endangered the lives of them and their friends. Their experience is key here, not yours or mine

The are many Jewish students at Columbia who said the exact opposite. There are a portion of Jewish people who are going to follow the Likkud talking point and say anyone critical of Israel is antisemitic and endangering Jews, and whether those people believe it or not that assertion is not only not true, but it’s extremely dangerous for Jewish people everywhere, and it is even more dangerous for the Trump administration to be violating the constitution to punish people for that
