Call it what it is
It's Antisemitism.
Call it what it is.
Some hate us because we're "white"
Some hate us because we're not white.
Some hate us because they can.
Because no one will stop them.
Because they always have.
We're the most attacked minority
684 hate crimes in 2016 alone
but yet,
we're forgotten.
We're the oldest monotheistic religion
inspiring Christianity and Islam
but yet,
we're forgotten.
We're people
walking the same streets as you
reading the same news as you
but yet
you dont care like we do.
You look over the attacks
You look over verbal abuse
You look over the discrimination
because... I don't know why.
Call it what it is
Antisemitism.
They hated me in Ancient Egypt.
They hated me in Medieval Spain.
They hated me in Modern Europe.
Will they always hate me?
