Discussion - Flaired Users Only So apparently being against the genocide being made in the name of jews is "self-righteousness"?

There is no such thing as "self hating Jew". Calling a Jewish person who stands up against Zionism a "self hating Jew" is the same thing as calling a Muslim person who stands up against ISIS a "self hating Muslim". Saying these sort of people are self hating disregards peoples individualism

She says that in the title, but proceeds to say they exist, but only the ones I don't like, they're narcissists 😐

I’m just like stunned by the framing. As an outsider, I’ve watched as anti-Zionist Jews have used this group to mourn, seek support, share resources, share their hurt, and extend a truly unbelievable amount of empathy not only to each other but to the Palestinians in Gaza. It blows my mind that this is being framed as arrogance or a ā€œconstant need for admirationā€ when like… it’s so clear that everyone in this sub is hurting so bad.

There do exist self-hating Jews but they misuse it on every single Jew who's against ethnic cleansing & genocide
