  • Your not responsible for their actions and I dont think I ever said that.

    Look, I’m sorry I came at you so hard last night. I was drinking and I’m pissed off that there is a genocide going on that I feel like I can do fuck all about. Guess part of me wants to put it on other people since I feel helpless about it.

    In retrospect saying we should publicly shame jews around the world for not going out of their way to scream publicly about a government that does not represent them - is stupid. I’m just frustrated and mad. I do think Israelis in the country should stand up to their government but you are right, Israelis and other jews are two very different groups of people.

    I do think your voice probably carries more weight to at least some Israelis, but again, it’s not your responsibility.


  • Yes, you should, as a Jew lecture all of Israel. The entire premise of Israel is based on the fact that Jews Have a divine Right and responsibility bestowed upon them by god. You are a Jew and therefore they should take you seriously based on that responsibility. Bestowed upon you by God, even if you don’t believe it, they supposedly do.

    No I don’t expect you to change the world being one voice.I expect everyone together to raise their voices.And the overwhelming majority of voices together decrying atrocities to work against injustice can make the difference.

    I can’t say “as a Jew think you guys are f****** morons,” but you can! So calm the f*** down, get over yourself, realize that I’m not accusing you of anything and stop being so f****** defensive and just do your part.


  • I said commonly accepted. I’m sorry, but those distinctions are lost on the general public.And what we need is the general public to put pressure on politicians. But sure, whatever, Let’s get pissy and fight amongst ourselves. I’m sure that will help.

    And don’t compare me to that just asking questions Tucker Carlson, bullshit. I don’t care where you live. I don’t think it’s a big ask for someone to stand up and say killing civilians is a bad thing.



  • I understand your frustration at what I am saying, but I believe you have more influence over the Israeli people than I do as a non-jew. Am I wrong? I just imagine that Israeli jews would take more seriously and be more introspective after receiving critical comments from a fellow Jewish person, who presumably is more in tune with the worries and historical context of the Jewish community than a non Jewish person is.

    My opinion is more easily decried as antisemitic or ignorant and waved away. Yours is not.

    When Christians do horrible things in the name of god, don’t you think being called out by other Christians is going to carry some more weight?
