POSTED IN THE JEWISH GROUP



The far left Progressive movements/branches on the Left.

9 years ago these folks began insisting that a rising tide lifts all boats - when it NEVER HAS in America.

Progressives often speak about centering marginalized voices. About listening to the lived experiences of those who have been hurt. About micro-aggressions and how to avoid them. But when Jewish people speak about our fear, our trauma, our history, our murdered families, we are too often met with silence. Or suspicion. Or conditional solidarity.


It's only when it is convenient for them. The self designated young white woman of the "black lives matter" *Fad* in my community that I vociferously locked horns with has completely crawled away.

Her new thing is Gaza.

Jewish, Black, Indigenous - they always use us.

What they call Democrats of the elite variety - actually do give a damn about us.

Don't tell me Lisa Blunt Rochester, Jasmine Crockett or JB Pritzker don't care. I still believe that had Doug been a member of a Christian sect - Harris wouldn't have had the *Genocider* slur thrown at her.

But - we never talk about that because it might offend *polite anti-semites*.
