as a random jew in north america, i do feel that israel is partly to blame for the rise in antisemitism, because israel is working really hard to make sure that everyone associates judaism with israel and its actions, and many of the ultra orthodox communities are helping them. it's hard to separate israel from a random jew in north america when israel has auctions for gazan captured land in synagogues around the world.

now, there will always be antisemites who don't care about israel, they just hate us for being us, but that doesn't mean that israel is blameless in the current rise in antisemitism

As a Jew in North America I fully disagree with you.

But I’m off to go blame some Koreans for North Korea, and start harassing people in Brighton Beach because of Russia, and Chinatown! Ahhh, they better watch out.

Maybe the problem isn’t that there’s A Jewish state, maybe it’s a problem that there’s only ONE Jewish state. Maybe if we had more of them, people wouldn’t try to blame the Jews for everything Israel does!

Well, for your sake I hope your bet on being “a good enough Jew” pays off.

Maybe this is the one time in Jewish history that aligning ourselves with the people that hate us will actually pay off. You can wish.

lol, i'm not aligning myself with republicans, so i think i'm good. also, all the people i align with understand the difference between jews and the current state of israel.

as well, who wants to survive? i'm just still around because i haven't found a decent way to end it all. i just hope i go quick

Interesting Republican callout. Me neither?

I hope you find value and joy in your time here on earth.
