Do remember this: Under Nazism only 40 Million people were viewed by The Nazi Party as the White super-Race, fit enough to qualify. The rest were 'Satrap' and 'Helot', and this is why some 50 Million white people were gleefully sent to their Deaths by Hitler in the War and Genocides of 1939-45. We now know that this has fatally weakened Germany, who lost 4 Million men, with the rest bred-up in The Hitler Youth, undermining the necessity of keeping the gene-pool as diverse as possible rather than the narrow selection of Genetic 'Dog Breeds' which is the true horror and legacy of Eugenics. Nazism was a pathetic death-cult at heart: In Goebbels own words at the end, 'The German People were not worthy of Hitler. The Best are already dead'.

My hope is that Jews are not going to go the same way, either as 'an Ethno-Religion' or anything else which interferes with the individual's freedom to choose who we fall in Love with. Eugenics is a dead end, as the Germans found out.

Jews are Multi-Racial. This is simple Fact. I do not regard myself as Racially Jewish, that is to say, from one homogenous race of Jews. My background is Russian Ashkenazi. My skin is white, my hair is dark brown and my eyes are piercing and deep green. My Religion is Jewish. My love of Learning is thoroughly Jewish, from a long line of brilliant Jewish minds. So I am Jewish. And when they come for me, I will fight back, as a Jew, as I have done for my whole life.

Utter nonsense. Whites are actually a small minority of the world at large and even in the west, the white population is quickly decreasing. I think third world societies are far more racist and supremacist. Majority White societies are the most open minded and tolerant. And it's to the detriment of the west. Try being queer and non-binary or Jewish in a muslim country. Most of the antisemitism in the world is not coming from white westerners but from muslims, including muslim immigrants to the west.

No we don't. We don't have any more to reckon with than any other civilization some of whom still practice slavery like the muslim world.

"I was a child of the 1990s and 2000s — the era of so-called “colorblindness.” It was that saccharine, bubble-gum moment of late capitalism that spurred much of the reckoning of about racism, colonialism, slavery, oppression of Natives, and other such topics in the West. And sure, the West has a lot to reckon with".

I don't think a lot of people think about how epigenetics work when it comes to skin colour. People with Mediterranean ancestry (I'm a quarter Calabrian/Southern Italian from my mother, with traces of Jewish, and around 1/32 Arab/North African from my father; my husband is Ashkenazi) have genes for a wide range of broadly "olive" skin tones that enable us to adapt to various environments, not just tanning (which, of course we do) but also a wide range of skin tones can emerge depending on any number of factors. On my Italian side, I have a set of cousins where one came out looking very "brown", the other two siblings with lighter skin and dark hair. Even being mostly "white" (in the old-school sense) and naturally blonde / blue-eyed, I'm read as mixed-ethnicity because of my big nose, deep-set eyes, and olive skin tone. After a couple of generations living in an area without much sun, we bleach out. Go to a sunnier climate, after a few generations, you'll see darker skin ... re "whiteness", Nell Irving Painter wrote a great book called "A History of White People", which, unfortunately, is ignored by the mainstream "woke" left :-/

This was a beautiful essay. The only thing I would ask is that you not indulge in Identity based hatred yourself.

If whites were not hated by the "social justice" crowd, Left Wing antisemitism would be much harder to defend (of course, there would still be plenty of Right Wing antisemitism).

It hurts to be referred to as a "goyim" who is so evil that you don't want me to recognize you.

I've been through a lot in my life: raped by my father, homeless as a single mom, disabled, etc.

I don't think I deserve to be hated for being "white" anymore than you deserve to be hated for being Jewish. I'm just a person trying to survive in a harsh world, and having beige skin has failed to deliver on its promise of an easy life.

At the root of all the evil we are seeing directed at Jewish people and the Jewish state is a gross human tendency to love or hate people based on their "tribe".

We need to stop doing this - to everyone.

We need to stop hating people for their race, religion, ethnicity, sex, and political affiliations.

If hating "white" people hadn't become socially acceptable on the Left, I very much doubt that antisemitism would have become socially acceptable on the Left.

Hatred of Whites, by non-Whites, is based on Jealousy by Non-Whites, as is Anti-Semitism, the jealousy by Non-Jews against Jews because of our G-d and our abilities.

Exactly. I've seen the same level of hatred directed against Asian people. I wish people would learn to emulate rather than envy.

You have to cut your own path, starting with the appropriate Role-models. In the end, Emulation is Not the way to individual success. You have to cut your own path, as I have. I try to emulate heroes within my Jewish culture. My Heroes are the Giants of Cosmology, Physics and Mathematics and Science. The problem comes where there are no people of Qudos and High-standing to act as role-models for the young within the Racial back-ground they come from. The Black community is particularly vulnerable in this respect. I have even heard White kids saying that they want to become 'Major Drugs Dealers' like the Black Role-models they want to copy. This is frightening (Paramilitary Gangsterism is an Inferior form of Society, as we witness in Haiti), and should not be. There are plenty of Bright Black Professional people here in the UK who could mentor Bright Black British young people to take the right course in life. We see them coming through now. Also, we have shown (albeit second hand) how White criminal gangsters associated with The Racist Elements in The State run Drugs and guns into inner city communities in order to damage black communities and their school children. This was happening throughout the 80's and 90's in the Cities in the UK. (Best Wishes! More tales from the Underground!)

If the left does not like someone they immediately call them white and they say we are the racist

Racialism is the much of the Jew hatred problem. From the Left or the Right. Jews need to stop explaining themselves in terms of the political agendas to which they are subjected.

We don’t need to explain who we are. We are people. As people we deserve the same basic rights as any people. And if we have to fight for them, then that’s how it is. Thousands of years of lies and hatred aren’t going away because we explain the truth to bigots. We don’t have to like it, but we have to deal with it realistically. It’s a very odd thing. It never goes away. It’s irrational and ugly.

Drake is the reason I'm not restocking or liking this article. If you follow the news, you know why.

Great article and there is surely a niche to disseminate the benefits of Judaism.

If I knew then (as a child), what I know now.

I would have converted as a youngster, my Jewish friends were the most balanced, smart, and friendly people I knew growing up, although insular, this insularity was protective and smart, and why Judaism will always produce the best of the best, in intellect, social harmony, and national social solidarity.
