    Maybe you should not only be concerned with one type of bigotry and not another? Just from an equity standpoint?

      I’m concerned with the one causing genocide at the moment, how about you? One seems to be a bit more unchecked and the other seems.to be the buzz word for anyone who dares to question Zionism.

      I’m not as stupid as to believe that bigotry and hatred towards jews doesn’t exist.

            That’s literally what this article is about. Antisemitism in America.

            But Jews are not causing genocide. Israelis, most of which are Jews, are the ones responsible for the genocide.

            Jews in the other 194 countries in the world aren’t generally taking part.

            Would you say a Chinese person born in Belfast was responsible for the genocide of the Uyghurs? Is a Muslim with Saudi grandparents born in Tokyo responsible for 9/11? Of course not.

            Less than half of the world’s Jewish population is Israeli.

                So they added an off-topic whataboutism so they could get up on their soapbox? Lol

                Yes. And then you suggested it was still Jews and not Israelis that are committing genocide, so thank you for proving my point above. It doesn’t matter how much I am against Israel or how much work I’ve done with Jewish Voices for Peace. I have a big nose and curly hair and no foreskin and that’s enough.

                  Where did I say jews are committing genocide?

                  Its only Israelis and rabid zionists causing the issues but I have a massive problem if you think I’m trying to say the jews are doing it

                    Okay, if you didn’t mean Jews, why did you say this when I talked about American Jews?

                    Because it sure looks to me like you’re saying Jews but not American Jews.
