  • I understand that you’re trying to be helpful, but you’re jewplaining my culture to me. Please stop.

    I’m fully aware that zionism does not equal judaism .

    I’m also aware of some of the more problematic parts of the bill, but none of it directly ties Judaism to Zionism. The closest we get is this section

    “Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g. by claiming that the existence of the State of Israel is a racist endeavor”

    but even that at the moment is a stretch. The right to self-determination and sovereignty are rights respected by most every country and the UN. What I see as problematic would be potential future law that would define the boundaries of the State of Israel to include Palestine.

    Mind helping me see your perspective on what makes this an L?

    Edit: I just realized that my attempt to shorthand does not equal got rekt.

    Hopefully you can forgive the typo and we can still discuss



  • What a rare W

    The group adds that “rhetorical and physical manifestations” of antisemitism include such things as calling for the killing or harming of Jews or holding Jews collectively responsible for actions taken by Israel.

    This is actually really good and a point I’ve tried to make to lukewarm success. The Israelis are not always in favor of the actions of their government much like we Americans aren’t. Making this distinction is important so that we remember who we’re actually angry at and who we demand action from regarding the clear genocide of the Palestinians.

    Context: I’m an American Jew who is furious with Bibi’s actions and the IDF.
