Thank you, that's a very good point. I found the penultimate paragraph of this essay extremely powerful, but especially this: "I also know that if today I refuse to hate Jews, or anybody else, it is because I know how it feels to be hated." I am similarly baffled by racism, but especially racism by people who themselves have been targets of hate in their own lived experience.
- onyva 6y agoWhen I see Eastern European Jews like Kushner, Miller, Idelson, Mnuchin and way-too-many others surrounding Trump, enabling him or writing racist and xenophobic policies, I ask myself the same questions. When I read about Epstein, Weinstein or Polanski, I immediately make the connection to Zvi Migdal. This is not Judaism and these people are not Jewish, culturally (or ethnically).
