I hate the gaslighting. When Jews say what we’ve experienced or witnessed, people will say “that never happened, nobody said that, they didn’t mean it like that, only extremists believe that”.People 100% say that to other marginalized groups, but a lot of the folks you see say that about antisemitism DON’T. Watching people you know WOULDN’T minimize other bigotries turn around and minimize/deny antisemitism hurts a special kind of way. Seeing so called fellow leftists who I know wouldn’t question me if I spoke about facing transphobia become denialists and apologists when I speak about facing antisemitism feels worse than a right-winger who wouldn’t give a shit about ANY bigotry.
