    I brought it up specifically to show that people like you assume Jews support Israel unless they prove otherwise. And you showed that I was right.

    I bet you’d never assume a Muslim supports terrorism unless they prove otherwise.

    Thanks for being a decent person.

    I wish I could say the same for you.

      If someone asks me if they should be responsible for genocide, and I respond by asking if they support genocide… Am I somehow bad?

      You didn’t even mention being jewish but it’s mostly irrelevant. The vast majority of zionists in usa are christian.

        I said nothing about “they.” This is what I said:

        Am I to be expected to shoulder personal blame for that genocide too? Because the one in Gaza is already apparently my fault because of my ancestry.

        And the second sentence makes it very clear that I’m Jewish.

        You either didn’t actually bother reading what I wrote or you’re being very dishonest right now.

          I brought up “they” because it doesn’t matter if it’s you or somebody else. It doesn’t matter if you’re jewish zionist or christian zionist or atheist zionist or whatever.

          If someone asks if they’re responsible for genocide, it’s completely reasonable to ask if they support genocide. Thank you again for saying no.

          I bet you’d never assume a Muslim supports terrorism unless they prove otherwise.

          I would advise you cease with the islamophobia though. It doesn’t help anybody to promote the narrative of jews vs muslims. Nor the narrative of muslims as terrorists. If you’re actually concerned about these things (doubtful), I recommend ceasing with the racist BS. It’s a symptom of your extreme privilege.

            Why did you lie about me deleting a comment? It was a very silly lie when everyone can see that a comment was deleted, so why did you make it?

            Also, your “extreme privilege” thing suggests you don’t believe antisemitism exists. I hope you realize that.

          No don’t say that. Nobody said you should say that

            Considering that I’ve already been told outright by someone that I was a Zionist and another expected me to justify that I wasn’t, I wouldn’t say that.
