    So I, a jew who has never even been to Israel, who’s ancestors left centuries ago, am responsible for the state of Israel in any fucking way?

    Jewish does not mean Israeli… At all.

      So I, as a jew, who has never even been to Israel, don’t feel threatened by the original comment at all, because I’m not an Israeli settler and haven’t kicked anyone off their property, and thus don’t have to fear having to give anyone their stolen property back.

      Ummm I never said that.

      I agree that Jewish does not mean Israeli.

      I’m specifically talking about individuals involved in war crimes that they should be held accountable.

        Anti semitic remarks are not the same as anti Israeli remarks

        I feel nothing when that guy changed “death, death to the IDF”. Well, maybe a mix of amusement and concern. But I have nothing, at all, to do with the IDF and do not support what they do

        When you say, in this context, “I’ll cool it with the anti semitic comments when war criminals are brought to justice”, how do you think that feels?

        Don’t take this shit casually, anti semitism goes back to biblical times. I’ve experienced it growing up. And now, they’re asking new York Jews what they think of “their” prime minister? They’re “othering” us already

        They just built a concentration camp. In America. The Holocaust wasn’t the first time they targeted the Jews as the enemy within. I’ve always reminded my family who start flirting with conservatism… We’re always second. When they run out of people that look different, we’re next

        I know what you meant. But that’s not what you said, and words matter
