12734630, Both things can be true

Jews and African-Americans share similarities in that they both have felt centuries of oppression, and both derive their cultural identity from something other than a national identity.

Where they differ (among other things) is that Jews were directly involved in the oppression of Black people, and the same cannot be said of Black people oppressing Jews.
