This is such a good point - has anyone, amidst all her posts claiming a cultural and even at times ethnic Jewish identity despite all evidence to the contrary, ever actually heard or seen her talk about her belief in/relationship to God? Or even mention God at all? My feeling would be that would be the central defining factor in a choice to convert to a completely new religion, but what do I know.
The tweet where she basically says it's white supremacy that no one wants to hang out with her for Jewish holidays during lockdown/at all is wild btw. I know she is making a wider point about Christmas being the exception but it's just incredible that she thinks she can frame herself as a victim of white supremacy.
This article last year from the New York Times about Jewishness and whiteness makes an interesting point:
“Although you clearly disapprove of the privilege that comes with white skin in our society, your refusing the word “white” won’t increase the chance that you’ll be discriminated against or decrease the chance that Black people will be. Being white is not just a matter of identifying as white; it involves being treated as white, and that isn’t up to you. So, however you think of yourself, your whiteness is doing work in social life.”
It’s incredible that a white, middle class, able bodied woman can claim this oppression. I haven’t added cisgender and straight to the list but if she is non binary, she has certainly benefited from the privileges that presenting as straight and cis bring.
