You can see how this might come across to Jewish people though right? “Sure you’ve been discriminated against in basically every society you’ve been able to find some stability for your entire history, but this time is different, we promise.” [goes on to talk about how all Jews are ultra wealthy and live fabulous lives of luxury] |
All the Jews you know fly to Israel often, have family in Israel, and fly the Israeli flag? I am Jewish and this doesn’t describe me or most Jews I’ve ever known. |
We can agree that wealthy white american jews are not discriminated against anymore correct? Anymore than anyone else? |
Well I must live in Little Israel then. |
Their lives seem to revolve around their ethnoreligion and they seem to be uncomfortable associating with nonjews. |
No we absolutely cannot agree on that. You don’t even have to look beyond the DMV. You don’t even have to look beyond the last MONTH in the DMV. Two young people were shot dead in the street for being Jewish (the shooter had no awareness of any association they may or may not have had with Israel). A man with a knife was arrested outside my kids private Jewish school in Rockville screaming antisemitic slurs. What planet are you living on? |
I live in Little Israel, a place in the NE close to NY. |
While this is horrid and abhorrent I am living as a nonjew in heavily jewish area. I must have a different perspective than most. |
Are any of these people actually Israeli? If not, you don’t live in Little Israel. I also suspect you’re exaggerating the number of Jews you know who do all these things, even if the most visible ones are very visible. |
Would you believe that not all white American Jews are wealthy? |
Yes, and Russian, Uzbek, Ukranian, etc. Many have relatives/friends in Israel. |
Where are the poor nonconnected lonely white jews? In Kansas I suppose? All they need to do is move to my town and they’ll be set for life. |
Why is Jews’ wealth or lack thereof at all relevant to this discussion? We’ve established that wealthy Jews can be and do experience antisemitism despite their wealth (and sometimes because of it). |
How though? How do wealthy white American jews face antisemitism on a daily basis any more than any other American is experiencing discrimination of various forms? |
I literally just explained this above and you said it was abhorrent and horrific. Why are we going around in circles? |
