In today’s world of social upheaval driven by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, there lies a troubling undercurrent that is often ignored: the alarming rise of antisemitism hidden under the guise of social justice. The DEI movement trades in the tired playbook of Marxism, pitting “oppressors” against “victims” as if life were a perpetual high school debate club, with everyone scrambling for a podium to shout from. This ideological struggle positions various groups into a hierarchy of victimhood, which ironically seems to leave the Jewish community stuck in an unexpected role as designated oppressors.
The absurdity of this classification is glaring when you consider recent stats from the University of Virginia. Hate crimes against Jews outnumber those against Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity by a staggering margin. It’s a tad hard to stomach that the group with one of the most tragic histories of oppression is being painted as the villain while others receive a protective halo under the DEI umbrella. Outdone by a few larger demographics, Jews find themselves being scapegoated, facing a peculiar kind of irony where their historical suffering is overshadowed by a contemporary narrative that questions their victim status altogether.

DEi is pushed by BlackRock. Larry Fink and all of the 7 Board Directors are all Jewish.

With the DEI ideology at play, this victim status is made all the more convoluted by something called “intersectionality.” This fancy term essentially ranks individuals based on how many victim labels they can accumulate. Picture it as a competition where the ultimate prize goes to those bearing the heaviest load of victim stats—disabled black lesbians, anyone? But alas, for Jews, who have historically faced such oppression yet have modestly excelled in various fields, there’s no trophy on this racially charged podium. Instead, they are written off in discussions about oppression, simply because they don’t fit the mold of the ‘suffering group’ DEI loves to champion.
The underhanded tactics of this agenda become especially problematic when considering how the same logic fails to account for real-world complexities such as family structure and community values. Research incessantly illustrates that children raised in stable, two-parent households achieve more success academically and economically. Yet, the DEI narrative conveniently dodges these realities. Instead, it insists that disparities in achievement are solely due to systemic oppression, reinforcing an ideological stance that conveniently disregards personal responsibility and nuanced societal issues.
It isn’t just about positioning Jews and Muslims within DEI’s victim-oppressor dichotomy; it’s a real-time game of political chess where the pieces are constantly being moved around to fit a narrative. The DEI movement has taken the bait, creating a scenario where even Jewish students on college campuses face hostility from certain Muslim factions who view them as part of the oppressor class—not because of any aggression on the part of Jews but due to the misplaced rage that stems from a skewed understanding of history. While Jewish students wish for coexistence, they often find themselves targeted by protests and movements that advocate for their exclusion, all since they refuse to accept the label of oppressor that DEI has unjustly bestowed upon them.
In this wild, woke world defined by DEI, the idea of finding peace and common ground appears to be sacrificed at the altar of ideology. Instead of fostering genuine understanding, DEI champions a narrative that not only fails to address the complexities of real human interactions but also conflates good intentions with misguided enforcement of an often-rigid hierarchy. The fallout from this radical reclassification is palpable, with antisemitism becoming a casualty on the colliding front lines of ideological warfare.
