    Oh it’s actually insane. I do not live in a country with a high Jewish population, so I’ve really had little to no opinion of them for the majority of my life. I now have a generally negative opinion from all the news and videos I’ve watched plus the continuous BS and accusations of antisemitism if you say anything anti Israel etc.

        at the same time it’s demonstrative of exactly how israel saying they represent me makes life more dangerous for me.

        and the real truth that people in the diaspora have found is that any hate against anyone makes the world more hateful. we value peace for two reason:

        1. we’re not fucking monsters
        2. we don’t want to live with and around monsters for our own safety

        so we will continue to speak on that the jewish identity is not tied to slaughtering other ethnicities, as israel says it is. many see the stories that have been passed down through judaism as the tale of a group of people who have maintained their history through multiple genocides, and exist to speak into the world how to avoid these atrocities.

        in summary:

        1. if you find yourself by default hating any group audit it and see if you’re being shown an incomplete version of that group
        2. fuck israel for everything they’ve done
