That said, I wouldn’t hesitate even a moment to stand against anyone in my community threatening or preparing to take physical action against any group, absolutely including Jews in the community. How is this even a question? We are all humans first and foremost, and nobody is deserving of being terrorized by others, Palestinians, Jews, and everyone in between.

Please speak up more. Jews are terrified right now.

DP, I ready to defend any Jew in my community and I carry.

You can dislike Israel’s current government. I do too. But having a Jewish state is essential for our safety because it ideally is a haven.

I’d argue that having countries with strong protections for religious/ethnic minority rights is what is actually essential.

After 2,000 years of genocides, Jews aren’t convinced.

Some Jews are. The US experience should convince you.

Why do people feel so empowered to tell Jews what we should feel?

No, I don’t feel safe in the US right now.

Okay, that’s you. Why do people feel so empowered to say things like “Jews aren’t convinced” as if they all agree?

I kinda think I know more Jews than you.

Or do you make it a habit to tell members of minority groups what the sentiment within their group is?

I’m part of a minority group and despise it when people treat us like a monolith. If you’re seriously arguing with a statement that Jews don’t all agree, you’re the one who needs to get out of your bubble.

DP. You're being unnecessarily argumentative. The Jewish poster is telling you how they feel. When you answer with "that is how YOU feel," you are dismissing them as an outlier so naturally they are going to explain that they aren't. It doesn't make any sense to argue with someone about an experience they are having, especially since many gentiles have expressed similar concern for the Jewish community. All this suggests that this poster is not the only Jew in America that is experiencing this and her experience is, in fact, common right now.

The Jewish poster is telling me how “Jews” feel. Yes, it’s common. No, it doesn’t mean that everyone thinks Israel is essential to their safety.

CNN has been generally very sympathetic to the Israeli perspective.

Not sure of MSNBC

If someone is Jewish and you are not, they know better what many or most Jews think.

Stop arguing and listen more.

+1

I support Jews in my community and the country. I don’t want to see Jews targeted.

Israel is a different question. Let’s all make sure people feel safe right here in America.

great but you can’t claim to be a friend of the Jews and also think that it’s OK to destroy Israel.

Jews have brought a lot of this on themselves. Every time someone criticized Israel they were call anti-Semites. Absurd

Zionism and Israel need to be controlled.

You’re insufferable. Do you think this random poster is the first Jew I’ve heard. I read Tablet. I read Haaretz. I have Israeli friends. Please get over yourself with this crap.

So you're saying that people are anti-semites because...Jews called them anti-semites?

Right? Maybe that poster could at least try to build common cause with people different from them?? Seems to be a problem not confined to Israeli Jews!

Well at least I had you pegged spot on. We see you.
