Are you wondering, with all these murders against Jews, with all this discrimination going on, antisemitism everywhere, etc. what you can do if you're not Jewish?
The answer is: SPEAK UP!
When you see someone in your friend group, or your workplace say something antisemitic, SPEAK UP!
Will you possibly lose friends? You might, but then, do you really want Nazi friends?
"But what if, in response to your speaking up, they talk about Gaza?" - They sure might, but do you live in the Middle East, or does the antisemitism you're hearing effect Jews in the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, or some other country on another continent?
If so, SPEAK UP! Because the Jews where you live need support.
Standing up is hard! It takes courage. Standing up means using your privilege as a non-Jew to stand up to hate.
It means being uncomfortable, and making people who spout hate uncomfortable. It means making waves and rocking the boat.
But you can do it. I know you can.
I know there are some awesome gentiles out there who are coming to realize that speaking up is scary. And it is scary. It's scary to have eyes on you, to have people look at you, or even then blame you for actions of others.
It's scary to be called a "Genocider" or other terrible stuff.
Just think: If it's this scary and awful for you, it's this scary and awful for us too, and it's all the time.
When you speak up, you're putting yourself in a little bit of risk. Maybe you can't do that, but if you can, and you're putting yourself in harm's way for someone else, that's called being a hero.
That's what we need right now, heroes.
@serge @OutOfOsthofen hero or human aside, the conversation itself is really hard to navigate. I work in university and inevitably I had conversations with students around the situation in Gaza, you can see they are genuinely upset and frankly the situation angers me too. But often the antisemitic trops slipped in quickly, perhaps be used as shorthands, I often then simply say "what you just said there is an classic antisemitic trop, if you want to advance your cause that is not helpful"
