“When Menachem Begin visited America soon after the creation of the Israeli state in 1948, a letter to the New York Times signed by 28 Jewish liberals and progressives, including Albert Einstein and Hannah Arendt, denounced him as a “terrorist, right-wing chauvinist.” His movement, the letter stated, was “closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy, and social appeal to Nazi and Fascist parties. … Within the Jewish community they have preached an admixture of ultranationalism, religious mysticism, and racial superiority. Like other Fascist parties they have been used to break strikes, and have themselves pressed for the destruction of free trade unions. In their stead, they have proposed corporate unions on the Italian Fascist model.”[43”

“The history of slavery exemplifies the mutually reinforcing link between racialized dehumanization and extreme punishment.”
Danielle Sered, Until We Reckon: Violence, Mass Incarceration, and a Road to Repair

Danielle Sered
“At the heart of that narrative is the story of an imagined monstrous other—a monster who is not quite human like the rest of us, who is capable of extraordinary harm and incapable of empathy, who inflicts great pain but does not feel it as we do, a monster we and our children have to be protected from at any price.”
Danielle Sered, Until We Reckon: Violence, Mass Incarceration, and a Road to Repair

“We could reasonably describe whiteness as the oldest alternative to incarceration in America.”
Danielle Sered, Until We Reckon: Violence, Mass Incarceration, and a Road to Repair

Danielle Sered
“Committing violence is a choice we make that is rooted in our values, beliefs, expectations, and experiences, and constrained by our contexts. When people are given the opportunity to consider and transform those values, beliefs, expectations and experiences, even within the persistent constraints of harmful or oppressive contexts, they can make different choices.”
Danielle Sered, Until We Reckon: Violence, Mass Incarceration, and a Road to Repair
