“Jews Will Not Replace Us”: Why White Supremacists Go After Jews

For The Washington Post, Yair Rosenberg argues that the question of whether or not Jews are white must be set aside, since they are so often targeted by white supremacists. Rosenberg writes, “At their Friday night rally at the University of Virginia, the white nationalists brandished torches and chanted anti-Semitic and Nazi slogans.” He adds, “When white supremacists are viciously attacking Jews as nonwhite impostors, then any anti-racists worthy of the name must be there to defend them. They cannot impose their own definitions of whiteness on Jews and sidestep their plight.”
