Diversity, equity, inclusion but not for Jews?

This thread is largely not antisemitic. In the aftermath of a horrific attack against Asians, it is not the time to discuss aggressions against Jews. The equivalent would have been for Asians to want to shift the National conversation towards anti-Asian racism abd problems being the model minority immediately after the Tree of Life massacre. When people are getting murdered because of their race, the decent human reaction is to show support — not ask, “what about me? There was graffiti at my synagogue a few months ago, why is nobody writing about that in the days after 8 Asian women are murdered? Don’t I matter?”

In short, if you want allies, try being an ally too.





When is the right time?


Last week?

Maybe in a month or so?

Do you really need this spelled out for you?



We’ve been fighting in lock step with BLM since 2015, consistent with our decades-long support for the civil rights movement. We’ve been fighting for undocumented immigrants for decades. We came out in strong support for fighting anti-Asian hate.

We’re simply asking that at some point, amid the years of rising anti-Semitism in this country, that folks show us a bit of allyship.

That’s all.



And again I ask BLM has given actionable steps, what are your actionable steps?

Okay, so why wasn't this thread posted on 1/6 ? Or all of the month of February or 2 weeks ago?


We talked about it a ton on 1/6. We talked about it a ton throughout the Trump years. Hasn’t made a difference.

Please attach the thread you created previously discussing the important topic.


I haven’t created any threads on this. I didn’t create this one either.

Ahhh so this wasn’t an important topic for you to discuss prior to you seeing Asian Americans being murdered. Got it.

What? My behavior on DCUM is the evidence you’re using to imply what I think about the murder of Asian Americans?

You’re the one who needs help. This is a message board. It’s hardly the sum total of a person’s life.

You have reading comprehension problems.


Someone claimed that because I didn’t start a thread on this topic earlier, it means I only care after Asian Americans get murdered.

That’s crazy.




That was in response to you saying that showing support for Asian Americans is evidence of our anti-semitism. See the first post on this thread.




I never once said that. If that was posted on this thread, it wasn’t by me.


You did say you have never posted this topic on DCUM before, or any topics? So why is it important to be discussed now?


I’ve discussed it plenty with the people in my real life.

Why does my behavior on a message board mean anything?


But here you are on a messageboard telling people what they need to do. Why now?

Not seeing anything specific that relates to antisemitism. You'll have to be more specific.

What is it are you looking for? To be told your struggles are the same as BLack, brown and asian people in this country? Do you want specific legislation protecting Jewish people from discrimination?

Apart of what conversation? Jewish people are part of diversity discussions regularly. What you are not part of is disenfranchisement discussions. The fact is Jewish people are not systemically disenfranchised in this county.
