    Not Jewish but I get this a lot as a brown person.

    I can go, “Ah yeah this racist thing happen” and some knuckle dragger goes, “No it didn’t. They would be breaking the law.”

    Like okay?

      It’s just gaslighting plain and simple.

      Like we don’t remember what happened in school, in college or fucking last week.

      Jewish, not brown, for what it’s worth, but it sounds like we may have had similar experiences here.

      The more I find out about other minorities, their struggles, issues and history, the more I realize that we have way more that unites us than divides us.

      Having long chats with Szekler and Roma people helped open my eyes to the fact that discrimination is incredibly similar no matter who the target is. I don’t speak their native languages or fully understand the culture, but the history and treatment by the majority is very similar as a Jew.

            Doesn’t take away from my previous comment but good Lord, is that fact checked? I turned my back on their govt years ago (I love my Muslim brothers as much as my Jews) but jfc that’s a new low if you’re correct. I thought they were doing the opposite after the Biden visit. Can you link me to your source please?
