5. I have suggested it multiple times, but it should be read: "People Love Dead Jews" by Dara Horn.

It really breaks down the hate of the Jewish people but also explains how our dead are used as political ammunition, especially in regard to Holocaust inversion. Then, there is the microaggressions against us, which are used but ignored as "truthtopower", but any other minority where such bullshit is used, well, then it is wrong.

Racist Microaggression: You are so pretty for a Black woman.
Homophobic Microaggression: You're gay? What a shame, you are so handsome.
Sexist Microaggression: You should smile more.
Anti-Semitic Microaggression: You are so surprisingly generous.

The above are often meant as compliments, a sign of a microaggression, though not all are compliments, just barely concealed insults. Some can be contextual and not be a microaggression, but that is usually up to the recipient to decide, unless the recipient is a Jew, then non-Jews will 'splain how it is not what we think it is.
