👀 Over the last few days, we’ve shared about

👀 Over the last few days, we’ve shared about what Anti-Palestinian Racism (APR) is, & what SLPs need to know.

Unsurprisingly, we’ve received a barrage of Anti-Palestinian Racism AND anti-Jewish hate.

We defined APR (referencing the research of the Institute for the Understanding of Anti-Palestinian Racism) @antipalestinianracism
in our previous post.

We define antisemitism, or anti-Jewish hate, as “the discrimination of Jews, as Jews” (Jerusalem Declaration of Antisemitism).

🤷🏻‍♀️ So what’s going on here? What’s the basis for all the hateful comments & anger?

Let’s break it down:

‼️ The claim that Jews are a monolith & speak with one voice about any topic.

✅ This is antisemitism. The insinuation is that all Jewish people hold the same beliefs on any given topic relating to Jewish identity, including Israel|Palestine.

‼️ Insinuation that Jews who disagree with zionism are “not Jewish” or that their beliefs surrounding this topic discredits their Jewish identity

✅ This is antisemitism. The claim silences Jews like me, as there are many Jews who define their Judaism separately from the nation state of Israel.

In fact, for as long as the political movement of zionism has existed (since the 1880’s, whereas the Jewish religion has existed for thousands of years), there has been a strong history of Jewish anti-zionism.

‼️ Conflating the nation state of Israel with the Jewish people

✅ This is antisemitism. The actions of a nation state are not the actions of individuals within a society.

This would be comparable to the demonization & internment of Japanese Americans during WWII.

‼️ Nakba Denial

✅ This is Anti-Palestinian Racism. We see claims that there are no such people called Palestinians; that Palestinians do not originate from a land called Palestine; denial of ethnic cleansing, genocide, & other crimes against Palestinians.

Thank you for spreading the word about Anti-Palest

Thank you for spreading the word about Anti-Palestinian Racism in our last post.

We’ve been getting questions about why this was a post “only” about APR. Why not antisemitism, too?

For the last 601 days, we’ve been watching a genocide unfold on our phones.

There are thousands of Palestinian hostages being tortured in Israeli prisons. How many of them can you name?

There are 10s if not 100s of thousands of Palestinian Gazans (not including those in the West Bank) who’ve been murdered over the last 18 months. How many of them can you name?

Palestinians are dehumanized. Incredibly so. On every level:

Ideologically
Institutionally
Interpersonally
Intrapersonally

This was a post about Anti-Palestinian Racism. Full stop.

Humanize Palestinians.
Talk to Palestinians (I’m not Palestinian, I’m an Ashkenazi Jew. It doesn’t count).

Read about Palestinians
Learn about the Nakhba.
Speak out about Palestine.

It’s not antisemitic.

And @ashaweb
It’s time you got serious about standing up for EVERYONE’S human rights.

There are MANY Palestinian SLPs and allies, and many more who we serve in our communities who are Palestinian.

Collective liberation means “liberation for ALL at the expense of no one” @accordingtoweeze

FREE PALESTINE

END THE OCCUPATION

STOP THE GENOCIDE

END APARTHEID
