    Being Jewish (and white) in America means

    People hate you because you’re not a “real American” (read : christofascist)

    But those same people who hate you also want to use you as political capital to further their agenda to punish people they hate even more (read: brown skinned people)

    These people are obviously not Jewish yet they speak for us. (Read: silence us with propaganda)

    They protect us from the “antisemitism” of the left (read: being anti genocide in Gaza)

    Because the fascists aren’t ready to punish white Jews.

    Yet.

      Lol I’m in the same boat.

      Gotta be real carful saying you’re ethnicly jewish these days. And gotta follow it up with specifying you side with the innocent civilians who are the real people suffering and dying in this “war”

      Fuck Zionism and all the political fluff, the Zionists co-opted the voice of the Jewish people during the reperations from WW2

      I’m sick of my tax dollars being spent on killing Palestinian children instead of feeding and educating American children.

      Most of the American Jews I knew growing up were atheists or agnostic. Like, temple was a social thing only a couple moms took seriously.

      Oh, it goes a bit deeper than that too. They do love using you folks to have an excuse to harm brown people but that’s not all of it. The christofascists are also members of a Doomsday Cult. Very literally. They literally (not figuratively) want to being about the end of the world.

      They only support Israel (and claim to support Jews) because they interpret biblical prophecy to mean that Armageddon, which, again, they are actively trying to achieve, can only start once all of Israel is ruled by Jews. Following that, they believe that all Jews will convert to Christianity or be killed, along with a bunch of other things resulting in the end of the world.

      So, there will likely be attempts at forced relocation of American Jews and/or more extemination camps, if the theofascists maintain and solidify power. Yay.
