What is internalized anti-semitism? What is the difference between white supremacy culture and white nationalism? How can white Jewish people hold space for both their own marginalization and their privilege in our society (which is at the cost of the marginalization of others)? What is the impact of sacrificing aspects of our own culture and identity to get closer to whiteness? In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this episode, Jill discusses her awareness of her own internalized anti-semitism and how it has intersected with her anti-racism journey. She discusses how white American Jewish people can both benefit from white privilege and also be the target of anti-semitism and white nationalism, and how anti-semitism and racism are used by the Christian right in an attempt to hinder partnership between Black and Jewish communities.
