@dukepaaron It's not just this. I remember a post going around sometime during the last three years where someone tried to explain to these people that NK is not, in fact, their friend, and it is not representative of any Jewish community except its own weird movement. It had very little effect. It's like their minds are made up don't cloud them with facts. The ignorance is willful at this point.

I finally started reading People Love Dead Jews in preparation for reading the new book, and I have to say that what I've read so far, (I'm somewhere around halfway through), is absolutely infuriating. But also it makes me wonder if internalized loving of dead Jews is a thing because some Jews and definitely Jewish orgs seem to be continuing to go along with it. Separately, I'm continuing to think on how to extricate msyelf as an individual from all these "gentlemen's agreements" that are no longer suiting American Jews but that we're so used to going along with because they worked for so long. Because fuck the gentlemen's agreements and everything that goes along with them.
