    I think you sure as fuck implied it, when you said:

    It would mean more if Israel weren’t actively genociding Palestinians.

    Why would it mean more unless Jew and Israeli were synonyms?

        Log the fuck out, go outside, and meet some people. A lot of us grew up raised by holocaust survivors and we have very strong opinions that Israel’s genocide against the people of Palestine is truly and wholly horrible.

        Ah, I see, so it isn’t “Jew = Israeli,” it’s “Jew = Pro genocide.” Totally different.

        Do you also expect every Muslim to denounce ISIS every time they face bigotry themselves? I bet you don’t.

            You’re evading. I didn’t ask if they were. I asked if you expected it. Do you? Or are only Jews expected to denounce genocide every time they face bigotry in your view?

              No. I don’t expect any decent behavior from anyone, but the United States administration should apologize for creating conditions that caused it, and fix it. And these circumstances are actively different, and I will try to be more sensitive. I don’t expect you to self reflect, since several people have called your words/reactions out in various threads, but that’s no reason I shouldn’t.

                What words and reactions are those that “several people” have called out? Go on. Call me a Zionist and prove my point.

                  I’m not searching for every post. I’ll remind you of the post naming lemmy famous people. I think you want everyone to treat you with just gloves because you’re fragile and volatile. If not for the other Jewish people I may have come of that way who_aren’t_ that fragile and volatile, I wouldn’t have given it a second thought. I don’t dislike you either, I just know that’s who you are.

                    You’re not searching for every post because you just want to automatically assume someone who tells you is Jewish is a Zionist and just a quick glance at my posts would tell you how wrong that is.

                    But you’ve made it quite clear you believe Jew = Zionist and Jew = Pro Genocide. And even when they come right out and tell you that’s wrong, like I did, you just assume the Jew telling you that is being a typical deceitful Jew.
