Something tells me that you will be fine. Imagine being a Muslim in these United States right now. Now that group will face even more Islamophobia and harassment. It’s not all about you OP.

+1. This was my first thought when I read OP. It’s not all about you and you have the ability to make that clear by articulating you don’t support this. If more American Jews did this, it would impact the conversation.

But Muslims don’t have that luxury.

Muslims could speak up about Hamas and Iran. and it would have exactly the same influence on Islamophobia as speaking up about Gaza does on antisemitism. That is, zero.

We’ve been through this before. groups that are subject to animus have zero responsibility to declare themselves the “Good Ones” in order to be free from prejudice and hate crimes. It doesn’t work, and it’s not fair. This is exactly the same for antisemitism and Islamophobia and we learned this lesson after 9/11.

Muslims could also speak out against Islamic terror, the motivating force behind the ME terror regimes and groups. That would demonstrate that mainstream Muslims in the U.S. are cut from different cloth. But they don't say anything, why?

Should also be Jews responsible for speaking out against the genocide and ethnic cleansing Israel is committing?

That is literally what this thread is trying to do and the response has been “Jews make everything about themselves.” Because of antisemitism. That is a nakedly antisemitic viewpoint.

I think a lot of wars are fought because people think god is on their side, no matter the religion. Jews aren’t helped by the chosen people narrative.

It’s not that religion is the direct cause. It’s that the elite use religion as a way to get poor people to fight their wars for them. So, here we are arguing about what’s anti-religion, when that’s not the root cause.

Jews are an ethnic group (well technically three separate ethnic groups with Ashkenazi being the predominant group in the US). It’s not about religion.

There are many more than 3 Jewish ethnic groups. The European ones--Ashenazis and some Sephardic Jews--are the genocidaires picking America's pockets for Israel.

I disagree with this. I think it woulds take the temperature down a ton in America. Maybe not Iran or Israel but here, definitely.

This thread just reinforces why American Jews should be scared about what comes next domestically. SMH

I think therein lies the problem. While there are other "ethnoreligious" groups -- an ethnic group solely based on religion -- the Jewish one is the most prominent and I believe the only one to have its own state/country.

I don't believe Jews should be treated any differently than any other religious group (Catholics, Baptists, Lutherans, etc.) IMHO.

Please describe, in detail, why you think “Jews make everything about themselves” is not an antisemitic viewpoint. I’ll wait.

If I were Jewish I would not be flying the Israeli flag. The Jewish religion and Israel need to IMHO separate themselves - hard break.

I have no idea what this means. Are you saying that Jews aren’t an ethnic group? Why is it that when I went to get my mammogram last week I had to check off that Im of Ashkenazi decent (hint: because we share a genetic profile that predisposes us to breast cancer)….

We don’t worry because we don’t belong to any synagogues or go to demonstrations. But there hasn’t been anything major in terms of people getting killed. You should worry more about Israelis and Palestinians. They are in real danger.

DP

Sure.

But Iran has been funding terror groups in multiple regions for quite some time. There are consequences for such things.

And now that the US has been dragged into it, it’s reasonable to worry about America and Americans—whether on American soil or abroad.

I wonder how Trump will navigate this…

While he’s big on retribution, he and his advisors probably didn’t see this coming.

The U.S. was not dragged into it. Trump and Miller have been itching for this fight. He wanted to invade Iran the first time around but we had sensible people at the pentagon.

Disagree.

I’m super liberal and can’t think of anything positive to say about Trump, but nonetheless I do not believe he was itching for war. Everything he has said and done—and everything his administration planned for over the last handful of years—pointed to isolationism and avoiding war.

Except for the part where he authorized massive bombs to be dropped on Iran and threatened more of the same — while also looking back fondly on the assassination he ordered of an Iranian general in his first term — sure.

Dropping bombs isn’t the same as boots on the ground.

Is your stance that the US shouldn’t take action to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons? Just curious.

If this were a blockbuster film, the sneak attack carpet bombing would have been a grand distraction for a coordinated mission by international special ops forces and assassins to quietly infiltrate Iran to handle the true mission.

I don’t think anyone has presented any persuasive evidence that Iran was particularly close to having nuclear weapons — Netanyahu asserting it flatly doesn’t count. And the U.S. did take action to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons — a nuclear deal that the first Trump administration withdrew from. So no, I don’t support bombing Iran now, and I also oppose Israel’s decision to start a war with Iran last week. (I’m an active member of a Conservative synagogue here in D.C., for whatever that’s worth.)

But my point was really that it’s crazy to say that Trump’s actions or rhetoric back up the notion that he’s anti-war. He very eagerly joined a war that a close ally started; his public statements expressing reluctance were either a feint or something he quickly discarded. He was not at all “dragged” into this war. The U.S. didn’t have to get involved at all, if he didn’t want to.

L. O. L. Jews face more hate crimes in the United States than Muslims by ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE and always have, including right after 9/11. There is this persistent myth that Islamophobia is more of a threat and that’s simply, verifiably BS. Ask yourself honestly whether, in 2025 in America, Muslims who send their kids to Muslim schools have to worry that they will be attacked by a Jewish extremists. Now ask yourself the same question in reverse. Literally a couple weeks ago in Rockville, a man named Joseph Amr Khairy Abdalla was arrested outside a Jewish school with a knife. And when he was apprehended, he complained that the cops were “beating an Arab guy.” Give me a f-ing break.

People only like Jews when they are completely helpless, vulnerable, or dead. And Jews are just not willing to be any of those things anymore. Israelis are simply not going to see thousands of their civilians slaughtered in cold blood, kidnapped and taken hostage and just sit back and take it. No matter what the antisemites of the world have to say about it. We literally do not care anymore.

The number of people on here essentially saying “we think Khamenei should have nukes because Israel is the bad guy” tells you all you need to know. For the record, I am both Iranian and Jewish and have faced far far FAR more bigotry and hate in my life for the latter, despite most people assuming I am Muslim when I tell them I’m Iranian.

Insanity and word salad in one post. Bravo.

NP - ummm...you just proved their point. Saying "POC play the race card" is also NOT racist. I think AIPAC is corrupt. Is that anti-Semetic to you?

The definition of what is anti-Semitic has blurred just as the definition of racist has. It's why Trump won. I blame people like you for handing us Trump.

All Ashkenazi Jews are genocidaires? Also, if you think Mizrahi Jews in Israel are somehow to the left of Ashkenazi Jews on Palestine, you’re completely wrong. The entire Israeli peace movement, most of which now exists only in exile anyway, is Ashkenazi Jews, who are seen as effete, naive elitists by the non-Ashkenazi majority of Israeli Jews, quite unfortunately.

Based on the values demonstrated in your stated views, I hope you don’t experience anything along the lines of what you fear because you don’t seem like part of the problem.

So Jews that support Israel deserve what, to be subjected to attacks here in the US?

DP they should at minimum be drafted in to the front line US units.

Only Jews, or also Christians who support Israel and support bombing Iran?

DP. I’m just glad that for now, it’s an all volunteer military. I pray it remains that way for my kids sake. Those who want to fight for the man with the billions, have at it. Just do enough job to keep that greedy, bullshat outside the continuous United States.
