This is possibly matter for a separate thread, but as an Orthodox Jew and an active member of several Jewish organisations including ones that fight for social justice, the fact a few posts have brought Jews into the conversation piques my interest.
There have unfortunately been incidents of overt anti-semitism within BLM and from specific individuals. I personally was involved in an industry incident a couple of months ago where my own Jewish industry group had to make a decision how to push back on such an incident, which led to many hours of debating the complexities and nuances of the situation and context of that situation. Nonetheless, there has been huge support within many Jewish communities and many parts of the British Jewish community for the BLM movement. Systemic racism affects all of us, and any action is dismantling the structures of racism, benefits all of us.
One of the ways that white supremacy asserts itself is by trying to pit different minority groups against each other, and by attempting to weaponise racism and faux-concern for one minority group with the agenda of attacking or dismissing another minority group.
I can't count how many times I've witnessed people who pretty obviously aren't that keen on brown people suddenly pretend to care about the plight of the Palestinians just as an excuse to engage in a bit of Jew-bashing. And vice versa, people who suddenly really really love Jews when a synagogue is attacked and they get to rant about how it was obviously evil Mu***s who did it.
Several times recently I've noticed Mumsnetters shoehorn Jews into debates about BLM as a way to attack or debunk people fighting anti-black racism, and it concerns me greatly. Just the other day a poster (who noticeably ignored the question of whether they were Jewish) told me to stop discussing my family's personal experiences in the Holocaust as a way to explain why I feel comparisons between the Shoah Camps and the ICE camps are justified. On the grounds that it could be "offensive to Jewish people." Even though I AM a Jewish person, and the poster trying to silence me was most likely not.
If people genuinely care about anti-semitism and the complexities of racial politics, I'm very happy to discuss and educate on another thread or privately. I know there are many Jewish posters on MN who are happy to discuss our religion and beliefs and how those beliefs differ across the diaspora. Of course it's very possible some of the posters on this thread who brought up Jews, are themselves Jewish, and I respect your right to your beliefs.
But if you aren't Jewish, please take our names out of your mouths. Whatever we (as a huge disparate group of individuals who all have our own opinions) think of BLM, us Jews are are not tools you can use as weapons against black people. Especially when some Jews ARE black (or of other non-white backgrounds) and the internal and external oppressions of Sephardic, Mizrahi, and most of all Beta Jews is so bad, and so ignored.
