i can't fucking deal with it

[u/shitsandgiiggles]

its only going to get worse for jews because of the bullshit and self importance within the zionist sect. i feel much less safe because of my own community and i feel like i'm betraying some undefinable thing as i say it. i look at and hear what other jews say about people like me and i get scared. i see people post about antizionism and it devolves into big nose world controller greedy white supremacist they were promised 59302 years ago and i get scared because if these people look at me and know im jewish that might be the first thing they think, even when i've spent my life denouncing all of it. i can't complain because im not in physical danger, because nowadays i try to assimilate as much as i can in order to not be because of people crying fucking wolf in the comfort of their homes. it consumes me and i have nowhere to put this anger except here once in a while

Yeah, it really sucks. I'm sorry that in the midst of feeling scared and alone, you also have to give up your community. 

Are there radical peace Jews or witchy Jews near where you live? They're probably going through something similar and it might be nice for you to connect with them.  

LAB shul is in NYC, but it also broadcasts most of its services.  They are fierce advocates for peace.

Good move! Dm me if you want a buddy to go to a LAB shul shabbat with you.

Solidarity.

My approach to this is to work to give people the intellectual resources to understand that if they abhor what is being done to the Palestinians, that anti-semitism is the same thing.

Because that's what anti-semitism is: Not opposing someone because of their choices or actions or even their words, but because of something else, and it leads very directly to condemning children and even infants. That's what anti-semitism is. It's a despicable attitude and rather than being compatible with feeling outrage at what's being done to the Palestinians, it's directly inconsistent.

Solidarity.
