Many people feel it is OK to jump on the Anti-Jewish ---Anti-Israel bandwagon, as they mistakenly think Israel is a White Nation -- and under the current Cancel Culture are fair game --
The Definitions, the Goal Posts and the Desired outcomes continue to morph... Where after the BLM emergence it is angling towards White means Privilege
Here is an extract from an article form the Jerusalem Post in 2020--
This move is, in and of itself, antisemitic, as it attempts to portray Jews as a part of a group that has actually oppressed them. Ironically, Jews are the only minority that is consistently pushed out of these intersectional discussions, and the only minority that is forced to prove, time and time again, that it is in fact a minority – even while facing bigotry from intersectional thought leaders as part of the identity politics game, which is fraught with inconsistencies and intellectual dishonesty to begin with.In response, many Jews are quick to point out that Jews are not in fact white at all by today’s politically correct definition, even if they are “white-passing.” After all, Jews have been persecuted for centuries – Ashkenazim and Sephardim alike – for not being white enough. When being “white” was desirable in society, Jews were not white. Now that being “white” is undesirable, as it represents “privilege,” Jews are suddenly “white” despite Middle Eastern roots.--- However, unlike what occurs with Jews in the global discussion of identity politics, recognizing internal biases in the Jewish community isn’t about suppressing voices that are born with more privilege. It’s about acknowledging levels of privilege in our own society in order to improve and be aware of the trends that occur.We can fight antisemitism as one people while also recognizing that there has been historical oppression of certain groups of Jews, sometimes even at the hands of other Jews, and that it impacts the opportunities these groups have today. When we respect each other’s history, we are better able to stand united as Israelis, as Jews, in the face of antisemitism. But when we silence each other and cover up incidents of misogyny, homophobia or racism, we are weakening our community from within.
