But a Jew is always a Jew. Nationalist, zionist, white, from Israel, religious, and suffered in eastern europe? That's pretty damned exclusionary to me.

I don’t know how we got from ‘what’s problematic about using ‘dark’ in this way? Honest question’ to these questions about whether all Jews are the same, or are exclusionary. I work hard to teach students to listen to and to appreciate the variegated glories of Judaism.
