Fair, “is antisemitism a form of racism?” Is a discussion I see on social media a lot and I’m absolutely not equipped to have any form of input on that (having experienced neither) so should have worded better. Fortunately I have enough self-awareness to recognise my initial heavy handed gut instinct of “I just don’t want anyone, on any “side” to suffer” is far too simplistic a view for such a nuanced situation, so instead of wading in on those social media conversations and just being loud (and sometimes wrong) like our heroine I’ve just tried to quietly offer support to people in my life affected by the situation and give a little where I can to a couple of the official charities.
It’s a hard one. While I appreciate people being supportive and using their voice is absolutely necessary, I wouldn’t have even said this much here were it not anon. I’m a bit of a giant child and fairly useless with some things but I do think recognising where I am out of my depth is a skill I’ve formed over the years.
Back to Sarah, as I said before, if I thought she truly, genuinely believed any of the
tit she posts/reposts I’d at least respect her for having courage in her convictions. But it all being for likes makes me feel sick
