Define antisemitism #380

Closed alexandrascript closed 3 years ago

alexandrascript commented 3 years ago

Create a new definition for antisemitism, including an origin, note on spelling and note on cycle.

tatianamac commented 3 years ago

@heyawhite Thank you for submitting this! It was brought to my attention that the resource I linked initially supports the oppression of Palestinian people, which I do not want this resource to be linked to! As such, I've suggested we remove it in support of the link that informed me of this (https://www.noihra.ca/).

I'm wondering if somewhere we can also make note of how Jewish people can be of many other races/ethnicities such as Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, etc.

I am going to share the definition with the Slack community to see if other folks can weigh in.

I definitely do not want to link to any source that supports oppression of the Palestinian people, and will update to remove reference to it. Definitely a benefit of the JFREJ resource, which is very much more inclusive! I will also link to https://www.noihra.ca/

Not exactly relevant to this definition, but a resource/group of interest is If Not Now which has been foundational in my own understanding.

I'm wondering if somewhere we can also make note of how Jewish people can be of many other races/ethnicities such as Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, etc.

That was something I played with in earlier (unsubmitted drafts), and I think I agree with you that it's important. By leaving it undefined, we are letting folks insinuate a lack of inclusion rather than the true spectrum of "who is a Jew". Updates for that coming soon.

I am going to share the definition with the Slack community to see if other folks can weigh in.

👍🏻

@tatianamac another thing of note in the complication of "who is a Jew" is covered here (which, came from a footnote in the JFREJ resource): https://globaljews.org/resources/research/counting-jews

The next commit is going to be substantial.

@heyawhite : Sorry for being remiss here. How are you feeling about this definition? Are you comfortable with me merging it in?

alexandrascript commented 3 years ago

@tatianamac no apology warranted -- seriously!! I certainly could have followed up.

I am excited for this to be merged. Go for it.

tatianamac commented 3 years ago

Ugh, I'm sorry for these small annoyances which cause breaks 😞

No sorries! My frustration isn't with you, it's with the pickiness of markdown. I think we need to do a better job of automating this/making it not the burden of the PR submitter!

Merged in. Thank you so, so much, @heyawhite for a lovely collaboration and definition! I can't wait to promote it! I hope you've had a positive experience. We would love you to come back and welcome any feedback you have.

alexandrascript commented 3 years ago

I can't wait to promote it, too. It was absolutely lovely, and such a treat to work with you. I will certainly return if/when I have the subject matter expertise to do so.

I certainly learned from the markdown pickiness and will be able to do better in the future (I hope)!
