Jewish on Yik Yak | For a party who claims to hate the Nazis and kkk they sure do regurgitate their rhetoric against Jews a lot. Such as claiming Jews have too much power/control, responsible for Israel therefore attacks are justified, say “zio” which is a slur, etc.

They never get repercussions or backlash either. It’s become socially acceptable. If you try to refute them they’ll just call you names like a child

Who are you talking about who is saying these things? Party officials or weirdos online? I have seen concerningly increasing number of weirdos online saying these things, I haven’t seen any party official do so but I might’ve missed something

Far left wing Jews say white people in America have too much control. They even use phrases like white privilege

Republican elected officials (though usually just MTG types) and leftist/progressives online imo. And of course Illhan Omar is quite antisemitic but as far as I know she’s the only democrat elected official who is

Has Ilhan Omar ever said any of the kinds of the kinds of Nazis or KKK rhetoric against Jews though? I’m sure there are comments I’ve missed, but the statements I’ve seen from her about people having too much control/power have mostly been about the political lobbies of the US’s main Middle Eastern allies—Saudi Arabia and Israel—and the the critique of US oligarchy that was the center point of those rallies that Bernie did

So what you’d consider “far left” is, like, maybe your median performative liberal on social media? I feel like when you get into further left with like communists and stuff that kind of language is much less common, it’s a very liberal perspective on inequality that kinda contradicts some of the further left principles around that stuff

She has compared Israel and the US to Hamas and the Taliban, she also insinuated that some Jewish students are pro-genocide. She is nowhere near the nazis and kkk imo bc I think hers mostly comes from ignorance (and perhaps intentional ignorance but idk abt that)

How is a comparison of Israel and the US to Hamas and the Taliban antisemitic? I think comparing Israel to Hamas is a strange comparison unless it’s a compare and contrast kinda thing, at least hearing that out of context, but a lot of people have compared the Christian Nationalists who’ve been dramatically growing in power lately in America to the Taliban and for good reason. Even if we said it was a bad comparison though, I don’t really see what that would have to do with antisemitism?

And there are some Jewish students that are actively supportive of certain genocides—I’ve personally spoken to one, one of the most disturbing conversations of my life—I’d guess there are some amount of students of most ethnicities who’d support one genocide or another, I wish us being Jews meant all of us would categorically reject genocide and ethnic supremacy but that is unfortunately not the case

I have met Jewish students who have also said outrageous things about certain ethnicities but I think her framing as either pro-genocide or anti-genocide is harmful given that if there is a genocide is not an established fact and that you can support Israel without supporting their crimes against Palestinians

I’m not insinuating that all Jews are perfect and peaceful either. I’m just saying I’ve heard some people actively celebrate/justify antisemitic rhetoric and violence as well. Or regurgitating Nazi/yt supremacist beliefs.
