[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is unbelievable and shows that anti-semitism is alive and well.[/quote]

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? [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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

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?[/quote]

Being part of the conversation would be a start. Not ignoring antisemitism in discussions about DEI would be a start. [/quote]

Also, to be clear:[b] I am not saying we need to be the focus *right now.[/b]* Its the fact we’re *rarely* included in the conversation. [/quote]

But yet you maid an entire thread complaining of that very thing.  [/quote]

Go reread the OP. No where does it say that. It’s commenting that the same attention being paid, appropriately, to the Asian American community would not be paid to the Jewish community.
