    100%. But I honestly think the victims of the Holocaust would agree here.

    1. Imagine seeing your grandchildren commit the same atrocities inflicted upon you, their own family? I think they would have rather died than begat such individuals. I certainly would.

    2. Israel has monopolized Judaism/Hebrew-ethnicity and essentially stolen the Jewish identity to further their Zionist genocidal cause.

    At least the victims of the holocaust maintained their humanity. Zionist brutes on the other hand have forsaken it.

        Its fucked up. Cuz like when I meet a ruso-canadian I don’t immediately question if they support Putin. But I have caught myself multiple times questioning if an ethnically hebrew person supports Israel.

        The fact that we barely differentiate between Israel and Netanyahu’s fascist government is proof enough of the harm it causes. Because I know that not every Israeli citizen supports the genocide in Gaza, but they’re for the most part just as powerless as we are.

          I have caught myself multiple times questioning if an ethnically hebrew person supports Israel.

          Ugh that is so fucked up but I commiserate because I’ve found myself doing the same and I hate it so much. I hate that I’ve started having that awful knee-jerk reaction.

          Like I grew up in a city with a large Jewish community so I have very warm feelings about the whole Jewish aesthetic and philosophical outlook on life.

          But now it’s like there’s this little dangling asterisk next to those warm feelings. Like I’m always wondering if they support genocide.

            Thank you. Was kind of discouraged at bro fixating on me using the word Hebrew like I meant anything by it. Nice to hear someone else has the same experience.

          They are calling people Anti-Semitic just for being against the genocide. Not Israel, not the Israeli government, not Netanyahu… Anti genocide

          Just FYI, it’s really weird to refer to Jews as Hebrews. And apartheid is inherent to the Israeli ethnostate, and fascism is inherent to political Zionism and always has been. This was a criticism levied at zionists, within the Jewish community, before world war 2 even.
