Reply To: Have you been exposed to harmful antisemitic tropes about Jewish control over finances or foreign policy? After participating in this course, how would you go about responding to these tropes if you encounter them?

I love this example from Ben Shapiro. I like to also point out (specifically when the person using this trope is on the right, like I am) that the left has used “white power” as a way to divide us as Americans. It seems like using a similar accusation against Jews is doing the same thing as the left, and the Bible says we should never return evil for evil. It also seems like people who use this trope have a tendency to be under a false impression that leftism is originated or “run” by traditional Zionist Jews. I like to point out that we are supposed to be fighting the extremes of the left, not “the Jews.”
