[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for that link. I don’t really agree with him. For one, no one I know goes back to slavery in Egypt as the common oppression reference point. For me, and the Jews I know, it’s the Holocaust and the continued anti-Semitism we face. Most of us have relatives who died in the Holocaust and many of us are here because of the Holocaust or the pogroms. It’s far from ancient history. It’s the experience of our parents and grandparents, and our continued problems today. Second, I don’t agree that Jews were mainstream by the 1950s. We aren’t mainstream now. We are 1% of the population. Elite universities didn’t get rid of their formal Jewish quotas until the 1960s in some cases, and informal discrimination persisted well after that. The movie School Ties is set in the 1950s and is about the anti-Semitism a Jewish kid faces at a private school. Listen — our experience is much better than Black Americans’ experience, but I think he really misses the mark. [/quote]
