[quote=Anonymous]NP. Silverman's comments were tone deaf at best, and I wonder about the motivations of those on this thread coming out to defend her. BLM is a movement that is rooted in police violence against Black communities. I have never seen anyone even attempt to make the case that Jewish communities face the same brutality at the hands of law enforcement, which means that the role of Jewish political leaders is to stand in solidarity with Black leaders, not to dredge up conflict. Silverman's comment was appropo of absolutely nothing. Yes, antisemitism is a real and growing problem in the United States, but a statement of support for BLM should not come with caveats, nor the All Lives Matter energy of Silverman's tweet. Like I say, tone deaf at the very best. Indicative of dangerous ideas regarding whether Black lives *really* matter to her, at worst. [/quote]
