The New Yorker magazine writes about antisemitism in the US.
"I was held personally accountable for the occupation of Palestine, despite having spoken out against Israel’s racist right-wing government. Was I aware, I was asked, that my ancestors owned all the slave boats? At one point, I was told, quite blandly, as if we were discussing that day’s lunch special, that “everyone knows a Jew could never win Memorial,” a historically white, conservative part of the district."
What else American Jews need to understand?
