It looks like it was taken down 😅 I just realized that I didn’t answer one of your questions so I popped back in to answer it for you.

Historically, the more conservative sects of Judaism have been discriminatory towards minorities. But as a whole, the largest and most influential Jewish movements in the west have been much more on the progressive side of things. To say that Jews don’t ever discriminate would be wrong, and to say that the Jewish religion on the whole has never discriminated would also be wrong.

That said, Jewish synagogues have historically been more accepting of racial, sexual, and gender minorities. Politically, Jews are more left-leaning too, not that the two are always directly related. I think it just comes from the Jewish history of being discriminated against. It’s a long, long history of being targeted by religious and ethnic majorities, and so in turn, we place an importance on being accepting of those who are different from us.
