Hello. I am not Jewish. I’m a visiting scholar. Recently discovered that I have been blind to the horrible tropes. They’ve consequently come out of my mouth. I am sorry for my past mistakes. I’m recently aware and studying everything I was ignorant about. I said several things in 1988 that I know now were antisemitic. I wish my former Jewish friend had told me but I’ve been marinating on the fact that it wasn’t his job to fix me. I just threw away Arnold Toynbee Study of History because it says Jewish diaspora is successful because tropiest trope about Jewish people ever.

It’s not your job but it’s painful to find out so many years later how hateful we were today. if there’s a peaceful window of opportunity why not take it?
