about 3 4 week. and any mental injuries off the back of it? ptsd. it took me a while to go back outside again. quite a lot of people in burnley actually came to me aid and said, are you 0k?, do you need anything? , stuff like that. it was really heart warming. what does yourjewish identity mean to you? everything. absolutely everything. it s my life, really. and how does it make you feel that something you hold clearly so dear to you, something you love about yourself, is something that other people use as a target? it hurts me a lot because, end of the day, what we all want is to just live our lives in peace. never gonna happen, though. 0ne harmful stereotype people hold aboutjews is that we re a monolithic group who think, feel and even look the same way, but that s far from the truth. i m meeting up with nadine, a blackjewish woman who, last year, confronted the grime artist wiley after he posted an anti semitic rant on twitter. i just think itjust demonstrated the complexity
of the rise in anti semitism, we might become more inward looking, whereas i think it is part of our ethics to identify with other people and do whatever we can to support them. their difference of opinion actually demonstrates an important point. jews aren t some monolithic group who think or feel or even look the same way. i m meeting nadine, who is a blackjewish woman. i first heard about her last year when she called out anti semitism on twitter. i think it was last year, you had an experience with wiley. yeah, he just went on twitter and was just said a lot of anti semitic nonsense. and i basically responded to a lot of his tweets and said things like, what you re saying is wrong, jewish people don t hate black people, and i said, i m black and jewish i can tell you that is not the case. and then he responded saying, you re not reallyjewish, and then he like followed me on twitter. i think it demonstrated the complexity of what it can be like being a jewish
