      Probably. I’m not going to argue about what’s happening over there.

      People seem to have a lot of opinions on it and the only strong feelings I have about it are that people should stop killing eachother because grown men who are supposed to be leaders of their respective nations, cannot make peace because they’re too childish to have sympathy, empathy, and any shreds of humanity to not starve, bomb, kill, maim, or otherwise destroy eachother.

      The reasons why they’re doing what they’re doing, IMO, are not as important as the lives they’re ending in the process.

      Stop conflating Israel’s atrocities and zionism in general with Judaism and Jewish people. It 1) plays right into Israel’s strategy and 2) is, or at the very least begets, antisemitism.

        Judaism is a religion and not an ethnicity. A white person from NEW JERSEY putting a tiny hat doesn’t change his ethnicity.

        A jew in New Jersey is an american (location) following judaism (religion).

        A jew in Palestine is a semite/arab (location) following judaism (religion).

        Again, I didn’t conflate them, israel is a self proclaimed jewish supremacists state.

          How is saying ‘the genocide they’re committing’ when talking about Judaism not conflating Jews with Israel?

            You are not reading eh? IT IS conflating the two, you are just mad at the wrong people.

            Zionist deeply conflated their supremacist ideology with judaism 100 or so years ago. This way, if someone criticises you, you can call him antisemantic and go on with your ethnic cleansing.

            But it’s more than conflating, it’s hijacking it, because often many zionists in power positions don’t call themselves zionists but jews. Again this is a shield.

            Do you want to be a practicing jew without all the lying, stealing, pedophilia, blackmailing and genocide? Be my guest.

            Aren’t you tired to be lied to your face every day on every fucking platform? Do you think is okay to lie so you can massacre kids?

            Instead of your pointless rhetorical questions, answer mine please.

        82% of the Jewish population supports what the Zionists are doing in Gaza. Fuck Israel and fuck any feelings they have about being mocked. They don’t deserve to be protected by the world.

            Trump’s approval rating is listed at 35%. Was I, an American, ever polled on this? No. Am I rejecting it outright because clearly based on my own experience the sample size was not 100%? Nope.

            If the Jewish population, especially those living in Israel, don’t want to be lumped in with genocide, they can do something about it. Same as Americans who don’t want to be lumped in with those committing the destruction of the American country. I’m lumped in until I do something about it, and that’s fair. Want a good name? Make it.

              Um, ok, but you didn’t say the Jewish population of where. Israel? The US? The world? Pretty useless to throw out a number without clarifying that. I guess what I should’ve said is ‘what, they asked a representative sample of every Jewish population or community on the planet?’

              Also ‘an approval rating of x’ means ‘x% of POLLED Americans approve’, NOT ‘x% of Americans approve’. Statistics are misleading when you use imprecise language like that.
