[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".

[b]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.[/b]  [/quote]
I'm the pp from previous page that said I was struggling with the war crimes. I feel the same way about 9/11. If 9/11 was actually 6/11, would you still feel so jolly about celebrating 7/4 so soon after? IMO no, it would certainly dampen the mood. I get that 7/4 isnt religious, but the "feeling" is missing, [b]related directly to crimes being committed by what I'm supposed to celebrate. [/b][/quote]

Wow, I missed the part where on Hanukkah we’re supposed to celebrate the state of Israel. Here I thought it was a Jewish holiday celebrating the history of the Jewish people.

Maybe brush up on your history and you’ll feel a bit better.  Or are you either implying or outright saying that the Jewish people as a  whole must answer  for the particular acts of the government of Israel?

When non-Jewish people insist on making non-Israeli Jews answer for Israeli policies, I call them antisemites. When Jewish people fall into the same trap, I think they’ve been listening to too many antisemites. [/quote]
