Interesting comment by a Jewish Rabbi
When Jewish identity is used to justify the expansion of state power, it’s not about protecting Jews—it’s about finding a politically convenient shield. It’s about using the very real pain and trauma of antisemitism to rationalize harmful policies that target immigrants, Muslims, Palestinians, Black and brown communities, and people critical of U.S. or Israel policy. That’s not protection—it’s the manipulation of our pain.
So the next time someone says a policy is “to protect the Jews,” pause. Ask who is being centered—and who is being sacrificed. True safety doesn't come at the expense of others. If justice isn’t shared, it isn’t justice at all.
Our ancestors didn’t cross the sea alone. And we won’t reach liberation by leaving others behind.
