Things To Be Aware Of and questions for you (ie, should I have a signup to work with people on their poetry?) and the funniest shop in Iraq and seriously answering my queries would be dope
I don't know about anyone else, but I could use some education on Judaism in the first place. Like the different kinds of racial and religious groups, how stereotypes arose, and so forth. I've never to my knowledge met any offline but it's entirely possible they don't tell people they're not very close to.
Like I know more about various antisemites than Jewish people. I know term Ashkenzai but not the definition. I know some of the history but little of the traditions beyond Hanukkah, menorahs, and dreidels. And what I do know might be more stereotypes.
I've heard of (and a lot of support for) a "two-state solution" but that means no more to me than "taco piñata pasta."
I am happy to do what I can! I will be honest, I know more about the intangibles (values, etc) than the tangibles, but I can explain the history of Israel’s existence in more detail, and give a few more examples of why antisemitism is sometimes called “the oldest prejudice,” and a few holidays…
And honestly, it’s both possible that you’ve never met someone Jewish before me based on where you’ve been, and that they didn’t say. I didn’t tell anyone except my supervisor at work because he’s amazing until I was accepted to the Diversity and Inclusion Council, when they wanted to include some things in the newsletter that were so wildly inaccurate I’m not sure any of them had met a Jewish person before.
And I can just say briefly, the most basic idea of a two-state solution is that there are literally two states that exist in the region: the state of Israel and the state of Palestine. So (again, wildly simplistic) creating a Palestinian state alongside (and with some territory from, most likely) Israel.
