(Jewish Group) Anti-Semitic Environmentalism Is The Latest Social Justice Threat To Jews

[Behind the Aegis]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

As a young writer living in California, progressive spaces are practically unavoidable. I can’t walk down Santa Monica without someone suggesting I try veganism, nor go to my screenwriting group without a colleague suggesting I add a President Trump joke because Hollywood is all about the resistance.

As an intersectional feminist, you’d think I’d want to seek progressive places out. Hell, I’m a bisexual woman whose organized marches against sexual abuse. But at the end of the day, the identity I hold closest to my heart, or at least my heart rate, is my Jewish one.

Many progressive spaces, which in theory exist to expand inclusion and kindness, have become strange potholes for anti-Semitism that have made it increasingly difficult for me to drive down my path of social justice. It’s almost inexplicable — moments that are rooted in morality seem to randomly hate Jewish people.

For example: The environmentalist movement. As a Jewish writer, I have received more unchecked anti-Semitic hate mail from vegans than Neo-Nazis. In animal rights circles, it’s become commonplace to claim that there is an “animal Holocaust” and for vegans to share disturbing images of murdered Jews at Auschwitz paired side by side by a pile of slaughtered pigs.

1. Antisemitism has been part of environmental movement for a while.

The new area is gentrification. The antisemites have realized that just yelling about evil Jewish landlords sounds very clearly antisemitic so instead they say that Jews gentrify and ruin neighborhoods.

2. Well, Hitler was a vegan, so

Yes, being factious.
