#Antisemites don't get to define antisemitism! No other minority would be expected to sit on the sidelines while people who aren't part of the community, who don't represent our mainstream views, speak on our behalf.

Jews in Ethiopia were called “Falasha,” which was a derogatory term that means “landless, wanderers, strangers.” Yes, strangers, they didn't belong to Ethiopia, they were indigenous to the Middle East, and everyone made sure they will remember that.
