        I think that the problem was that I shared two sources written by Zionists: a report linking Islamomisia with antisemitism, and a report on poverty among U.S. Jews. A Herzlian coauthored the former report and the latter source says in the ‘Who We Are’ section that it blows money on Palestine’s occupation. I didn’t bother to check these things but the moderator seems to think that I deliberately peddled hasbara.

        I have a few issues with Acknickulous’s research, but putting that aside it is worth noting that both the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation as well as Acknickulous cite Pew Research as a source, and Pew Research says this:

        When asked to describe their household’s financial situation (largely before the pandemic began), roughly half of U.S. Jews say they live comfortably (53%). By comparison, 29% of U.S. adults overall say they live comfortably.

        The ‘glass half empty’ types can easily read this as 47% of U.S. Jews living uncomfortably. I’d say that 47% is statistically significant, but what do I know.

          Oh, I see. So if you’d posted based on the Pew Research source instead of the others, I wonder if that would have worked out better. I can sorta understand the reaction on their part if they are used to people posting sus sources, but on the other hand, not everything that awful entities peddle is wholly made up. Some stuff is outright lies and some of it is about taking partially true things and couching it in a particular narrative.

          As we see with sources here often. For example, the “at what cost” theme about China that will go something like “[here is something true or partially true about China that you might think is good and here’s why it’s bad actually].”
