This is Bat Country

Goodreads review complaining that Jews Don't Count by David Baddiel "lack intersectionality"....you read all that about how antisemitism doesn't really matter to leftist/progressive types and Baddiel repeatedly says it doesn't mean that other oppression, especially racial oppression, doesn't matter, it just would be nice if antisemitism were taken as seriously, and you're still gonna say it "lacks intersectionality" ??

every june I get extra defensive about being jewish simply because the queer community and antisemitism are now so inherently intertwined. it's a time of year where we're all supposed to gather and hug and dance in collective joy and unite in our care for each other but that's now impossible when the vast majority of the community explicitly hate jews. I'm not going to write the 10000th post detailing how and why. we've been doing that for years and the community still don't care. all we get is anger and denial and being pointed to tokenistic antizionist jews and being told be more like them. accept it and be quiet. we will not tolerate your existence otherwise

I’m not particularly observant, I don’t even know if I believe in Hashem, or if Hashem is out there somewhere, whether or not Hashem cares. But with every day passing, with more attacks on our people mounting, my faith doesn’t dim. It grows. To see our people be attacked, harassed, libeled, hated by those around us, and to see that through it all, we survive. We push forward, we exist in spite of their hatred. That is our covenant with Hashem. We may not always live in peace, but we will always LIVE. Am Yisrael Chai.
