[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like this post was written by someone who is not Jewish the same way conservative trolls will try to post things from the perspective of "a lifelong liberal who is now disillusioned".

Judaism is not Israel. I'm ashamed of Israel's war crimes the same way I am ashamed of the US war crimes following 9-11. That doesn't mean I don't still believe in democracy.  [/quote]

Sounds like YOU are cosplaying as the people you think should be ashamed. Who in real life uses the word "ashamed" in relation to what a country they lived in has done. Normal people don't personalize in themselves what their government has done. [/quote]

Normal people do this all the time, if they want to be critical of their government. It's not personal shame, but the idea that you're ashamed that your country has fallen short of its own ideals/of the ideals you want it to live up to is completely normal.[/quote]

I said what I said, people do not personalize what their country does. We on the inside know that one, we are not able to give a yay or no vote to everything our conuntry does, all we can do is vote and advocate. When that fails, we acknowledge the consequences, more like an I told you so, but shame, no.  But outsiders love telling Americans to feel ashamed (or in a twisted ways telling Jews to be ashamed for Israel even though Jewish does not equal Israeli) so when we are attacked, verbally or tangibly (such as terrorism), it can be hinted at that we deserve it.
