Jews Should Not Embrace the Victimhood Narrative

(Free Press) Batya Ungar-Sargon - It's not pleasant to find out that your classmates will not condemn the murder of your people, or to hear thousands of them gleefully chanting the slogans of a genocidal death cult committed to your erasure from this planet. It's unsettling to know that your peers have adopted a worldview that allows them to convince themselves that you are the bad guy, you are the privileged monster who wants babies to burn - even as they justify and celebrate the burning of Jewish babies. But the worst thing would be for Jews to embrace the victimhood narrative. It's good to be unpopular with a mob whose worldview has done away with the concept of right and wrong and decided, with a Nazi-like commitment to racial ideology, that you are Jewish and therefore you are white and therefore you are bad. Remember this: to be a Jew is to refuse to kneel and refuse to bow. It's good to have these people as your enemies, because the world will always have people who oppose what's right and what's good, and it is our destiny to fight them. Do it with pride.
