[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a jewish (American) person who doesn't want to hear people bash Israel, I would appreciate the call from you. Yes, a lot of what Israel is doing is atrocious but this country has been defending themselves from all sides for their entire "life".

I have never heard ANYONE unleash on the IDF without ALSO talking smack about Jewish people. THAT is the real issue for me. Their antisemitism comes roaring out, and they can't/won't see that. [/quote]

I am genuinely not trying to be inflammatory but I do find your last paragraph hard to believe. Have you not spoken with any of the many Jewish voices against instances of IDF brutality? [/quote]

Ditto. I have never seen this.

Blasting the Israeli government and the IDF, and US support of Israel? Totally fair game. But I'm heavily in the "pro-Gaza" community of voices and have never once heard someone blame Jewish people. Israelis and Zionism? Yes, but not Jews. [/quote]

The only people blaming Jewish people for the atrocities are the fringe loonies. The vast majority of thinking people can separate a people from its government. Heck, we're all relying on the rest of the world to understand that we hate Trump and his hard right harmful policies. We could hardly do less for Jewish folks who are similarly saddled with an association they didn't want. [/quote]
