It is extremely disturbing to observe so many in the Jewish diaspora in America supporting the racist political and polarization in our nation by Donald Trump.
To witness prominent Jewish leaders in particular remain silent and tolerant of inserting the real time evil of Antisemitism as a prop and performative politics that seek to silence Academic Freedom and DEI in our educational institutions and other venues in our country is disheartening and disgusting.
For those Jews of color in the Jewish diaspora being a witness to the affirmation and acceptance of the politics of antisemitism as a tool of marketing and messaging by Trump with approval and tolerance by so many Jewish leaders and groups is not only extremely divisive but disturbing.
There has always been an under current of bigotry, racism including extreme conservatism in the Jewish diaspora that is ignored, deflected and soaked in denial.
For Jews of color in America the reality of racism is far more significant and evident than acts of antisemitism in America, in this context observing prominent Jewish leaders and groups applauding and appeasing Trump’s attacks on Academic Freedom and DEI is unacceptable and deplorable.
The embracing of such a twisted and divisive usage and messaging o of weaponizing antisemitism will create a breach inside the Jewish diaspora that will cause incredible harm and damage.
The Jewish Diaspora cannot allow this to happen
