Question: why is a taboo for Jews to document the long history of anti-Semitism in Black social justice culture?

Some of the most prominent Black American academia, activists and cultural figures spent enormous amount of time denouncing Zionism and seeking to inform the public of all the wrongs done in the name of that ideology.

Likewise there is very loud condemnation by Black American progressives about the history of anti-black racism among White feminists. No stone is left unturned to document the wrongs of every white feminist who has ever lived. I have seen at least half a dozen articles in the mainstream media that document and denounce the history of white feminist racism.

So why is the history of black activist anti-Semitism, anti-Asian racism, homophobia and misogyny off limits to hold up to the light and critique in exactly the same way? Jews make up 2% of the population and black people make up 13%. Asians make up 5% white gays make up about 4%. Why is the same scrutiny and language Marc Lamont Hill, Angela Davis, Alice Walker and younger black leftists such as Ijeoma Oluo, Karen Attiah, Briahna Joy Gray, and Amanda Seales -use towards Jews off limits to talk about black Americans and criticize them in exactly the same way? I keep being told there is nothing wrong with the way any of these people talk about Jews. Or denounce the wrongs of Jews. So why is it wrong to judge and talk about black Americans in the exact same way?

Pro Palestinian protesters outraged

I've always thought one of the best, and most seldom used, ways of Jews to fight anti-Semitism is to simply use the same rhetoric on those who offend us. Because clearly the response would be very different from progressives, progressive institutions, the media.

This is a really funny example of someone, I do not know if they're pro Israel or not, but of using some inflammatory rhetoric and it causing the pro-Palestinian crowd to lose their minds. Freedom of speech is a two-way street. And instead of Jews continuing to be outraged and hurt simply fighting fire with fire sometimes might be the best way. I know that's not a popular sentiment. But here goes

Facts Refuting Claims of Genocide in Gaza

Just the Facts:

  1. Contrary to media reports, the UN International Court of Justice (ICJ) did NOT find that it is plausible that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Joan Donaghue, then president of the ICJ, stated in a recent interview with the BBC that the ICJ findings have been misquoted and misconstrued. The ICJ only found, without regard to any Israeli operations, that Gaza would have a plausible right to be protected from genocide and that South Africa had standing to bring that claim.

  2. John Spencer, chair of urban warfare studies at Westpoint, wrote an Op Ed in Newsweek stating that based on his extensive knowledge and research, Israel “has implemented more measures to prevent civilian casualties than any other military in history.”

  3. Using Gaza Health Ministry numbers for total deaths in Gaza and IDF information on combatant death (which is not separately reported by the Gaza Health Ministry), the ratio of civilian to combatant deaths in Gaza is 1:1, which is SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER than the UN average civilian to combatant death ratio for urban warfare of 9:1.

  4. Palestinian Media Watch posted a video from an Awdah Palestinian TV channel owned by Fatah stating that Hamas intentionally manufactured a food crisis in Gaza by attacking aid delivery workers and stealing food and water.

  5. There has been a 500% increase in the Gaza population since 1950. For 2022, population growth in Gaza was 4%, compared to a world average of 0.8%. The average life expectancy in Gaza is 75 years old, compared to an average in the Middle East of 72 years old and a world average of 70 years old. See statistics published by World Bank and the Population Reference Bureau (PRB).

Looking for great sources on current issues pertaining to the conflict — YouTube videos, books, articles, newspapers, etc.

I’m currently reading Alan Dershowitz’s latest book which is fantastic as expected. I watch clips from traveling israel on YouTube. I follow some influencers on IG including Mia Talias and Michael Rappaport. I just want to know if there are are other sources where I can get good information, especially on things such as how dumb and uninformed these college protestors are, how antisemitic and dangerous they are, etc. Just one aspect of the conflict I want more credible media sources on. I do find a lot of good stuff in the NYPost and Fox News but I’ve always been weary of them especially as a liberal (or former liberal at this point idk). News Nation is pretty good from what I see; seems to be a centrist cable news outlet without the antisemitic bias. If anyone has any suggestions for further sources I would greatly appreciate it. I can’t rely on sources I used to like The New York Times, CNN nor BBC. Wall Street Journal is decent. Thanks in advance and stay strong my fellow Jewish brothers, sisters, and Jewish allies. Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱
