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.

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.

I am not sure what you mean. I am not going to promise to get a rifle and defend Israel personally like Bill Clinton did. Anyway, I am sorry you are hurting and I am sorry for what you are going through.

We need to figure out how to fix what is going on on our college campuses and in some of our cities.

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.

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

Stop arguing and listen more.

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.

Who died and made you the expert on Jews?

I’m not the one speaking on behalf of all Jews!

No but you are policing what a Jewish person is saying about their own feelings and perceptions.

I feel fine expressing my opinions to everyone, minorities or otherwise.

Sure. And you can think Israel has a right to exist and so do Palestinians. AND you can, at the same time, not want to see Jewish people here at home targeted.

The question was meant to determine if you tell all groups how to feel.

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

Stop arguing and listen more.

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.

Do you tell black people not to fear cops? Even if your black friend isn't afraid of cops?

I feel fine expressing my opinions to everyone, minorities or otherwise.

Leave black people put of this we are not a prop

I’m the direct PP you quoted and I completely agree - the question about black people and cops added nothing to the discussion.

The question was meant to determine if you tell all groups how to feel.

And to analogize Jews to African Americans and what they’ve suffered in this country… which is an inapt comparison and you know it
