“I’ve lived all over the country — in Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and Wisconsin — so I have been many people’s first Jew,” said Fallik, 52, a former Inquirer health reporter. “But I have never been targeted like this.”
To Fallik and several colleagues, the graffiti represent the intersection of far-right hate in America, where vitriol for one marginalized group — in this case, Jews — is used to target another, such as the LGBTQ+ community.
“I think I sort of hit the hate crime bingo — I’m a woman, I’m openly Jewish, I support trans rights — and as a professor, I am in a position to impact student’s perceptions,” Fallik said. “I am everything people who hate love to hate.”
What a dope!
