(Jewish Group) Anti-Semitism Isn't Just A Right-Wing Problem
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)
---snip---
Jews represent less than 2% of the U.S. population and less than 0.2% of the worlds population. Yet, despite our small numbers, Jews are victims of more reported hate crimes than any other religious minority, second only to African Americans in overall reported hate crimes.

Yet even though anti-Semitism is unmistakably at the core of the far right, Jewish concerns are often dismissed as being insignificant compared to the threat white nationalists pose to other minority groups.
Social justice movements are deeply rooted in combatting racism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, sexism and misogyny. But when it comes to anti-Semitism the very hate that fuels white supremacy
it doesnt receive the same attention.
In progressive movements, Jews are often considered
less of a priority to intersectional activism than other minorities are.
The reality is that anti-Semitism only garners serious attention when its of the most extreme magnitude. But the shooting in Pittsburgh didnt occur in a vacuum.
