one of the biggest lies social media has ever sold you is that you can’t be prejudiced against a minority if you’re part of that minority
queers can be homophobic
trans people can be transphobic
black folks can be anti-black
disabled people can be ableist
jews can be antisemitic
we all have biases to unlearn
all this to say, i would love if we could kill the idea that just because you have a few people from a minority endorsing your behavior or ideology doesn’t mean that your behavior/ideology isn’t fundamentally flawed or even bigoted towards that minority
tokenizing doesn’t become good just because it’s for something you agree with
Heads up, op is a Zionist and they’re (at least partially) making this post to call antizionist Jews “token Jews”
Suddenly thinking about that tweet that’s like “sure, Zionism as it actually exists in the real world is currently enforcing apartheid and committing genocide, but the Zionism in my head is all sunshine and rainbows so who can even say which is real?”
“I am going to disregard everything this person has to say because they acknowledge words have meaning and that this conflict is one of the most nuanced geopolitical conflicts of the last century, don’t listen to what they have to say because they’re nothing but a filthy zionist, also how dare they say that zionism is intrinsic to judaism and is a jewish concept that you can’t redefine out from under jews, how will i condemn 80-90% of jews and tokenize the rest now?” gtfo
Both the women you’re responding to are Jewish lol. Are you really gonna try and insist we’re tokenizing ourselves?
Wait oh my god not another in-progress convert lecturing antizionist Jews who were born and raised Jewish and calling us tokens lmaoooo. Nothing against converts but if you’re caping for Zionism and lecturing other Jews you should maybe shut the fuck up if you haven’t even *finished* converting
