White jews arrived here abd recived the same government benefits every other white person received.Jews arrived here impoverished, uneducated, not speaking English, and having doors slammed in their faces due to antisemitism. They formed tight communities, opened little businesses and hired one another, banded together to buy tenement buildings and rented to one another, and formed night schools to teach English.
By the next generation, their children were successful college-educated professionals or business owners.
And they did it all without screaming about antisemitism or demanding freebies. They were just happy to be in America, the land of opportunity.
My parents, uncle, and aunt all went from tenement slums to home ownership in the space of 10 years.
And there there is this:
White Jews should understand why Black Americans need reparations now
LILLI SHER"As a white person, as a Jewish person and as the descendant of Holocaust survivors who have benefited from the German reparations program,"
After the Holocaust, Germans collectively engaged in “cheshbon nefesh,” or soul-searching, as they grappled with the horrors of the Shoah and senseless death they inflicted upon European Jews. This soul-searching has been embodied by the German government’s economic reparations, as well as a shift in their education system and national identity to ensure the Holocaust and its horrors are well understood and not forgotten.
Just as it’s customary to give tzedakah before Shabbat, it should be customary to give reparations. This is a heightened obligation because of the concept of tzedakah: Like reparations, Judaism teaches that money, wealth and land ownership are not truly ours to keep. The individualist capitalist system is a symptom of white supremacy and is antithetical to Jewish values.

White Jews should understand why Black Americans need reparations now - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
It's not just about economics. All white Americans need to do some soul-searching.

So are you really a practicing JewLisa, or do you pretend to be a Jew here in order to try getting away with racism? Because your opinions are antithetical to the beiefs of judiasm. Futhermore, White Jews not only got US Government assistance, butthey recieved reparations fronm Germany and still do today.
Germany will pay more than $1.4 billion next year to survivors of Nazi atrocities
JUNE 15, 2023The German government will pay more than $1.4 billion next year to Holocaust survivors, in the latest compensation for atrocities and persecution inflicted by the Nazis.
Money includes direct payments and hardship funds
As of September 2022, an estimated 280,000 Holocaust survivors were living in countries around the world, the Claims Conference said.The money for 2024 includes $535 million in direct payments to survivors, ranging from monthly pensions to a one-time annual payment of 1,250 euros ($1,365) per person.
The compensation payment slated for 2024 eclipses the more than $1.2 billion Germany agreed to pay in 2023.
Germany has paid compensation and restitution for decades
As the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum notes, 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust, along with millions more civilians and soldiers from the former Soviet Union, and people who were Polish, Serbian or from the Roma minority. The Nazis also orchestrated the wholesale murders of people with disabilities and homosexuals.The Claims Conference has been pursuing reparations from the German government since 1951, when it was founded by a coalition of Jewish organizations, and has secured more than $90 billion in payments.
And Jews have been complaining about Anti Semitism in America since they got here. Because anti semitism exists and they face it. So they have a right to do so. But the white racist wantsto gaslight.
