    Correct me if I’m wrong, but casually erasing the existence of anti-Zionist Jews seems pretty antisemitic to me.

      It’s seems even worse, as to me it’s erasing non-Zionist Jews as well as anti-zionist. You can’t be a Jew and have no opinion on Zionism, either. I’m not Jewish but that’s how I read it. It’s very similar to the Red Scare propaganda, or even older the idea in Christianity that being an atheist is inherently anti-christian.

      Conflating Zionism and Jewishness is one of the oldest and most pervasive antisemitic tropes that exists. “Jews cannot be loyal to the state because their primary loyalty lies with (((Jewish entity))) instead.”

    Edit: got the double post bug

    Skill issue. I’m an anti-zionist Jew and I’m getting dates like they’re in season.

    And yes @Angel@hexbear.net, it is erasure and exclusion of us, but it’s intentional conflation between Judaism and Zionism that these freaks cant help but commit. There may as well be a Schism in the faith about Zionism at this point, there certainly is within the culture already, but that’s the tricky thing about Judaism being both an ethnicity and a religion, there’s no formal way to go about breaking up, there’s just this wormlike passive denial of existence from Zionists as they try to simply exclude anyone not ideologically committed to Israel.

    Jew here, never had trouble finding dates since I figured out that human beings like human beings who treat them like human beings.

    I am Jewish. Absolutely no one has discriminated against me for being Jewish over what’s happening to the Palestinians. I am sure it does happen, once in a while. I’m also sure that anyone who does that is a right winger co-opting the Palestine movement and doesn’t actually care about it. I have had no problems finding dates or making friends since last October.

      My gf is jewish going to law school rn. The amount of people who ask her if it’s scary to wear a star of david necklace around campus is insane.

      She’s like “half of my classmates are jewish, and I’ve never had a problem with it elsewhere.”

      One of her classmates is taking advantage of it and has been speaking on fox news about how she’s scared for her life walking to campus every day. It’s easy to grift sadly.

    I’ve experienced zero discrimination for being Jewish in the past few years, in fact it’s seemed like a lot of the sort of latent antisemitism in average people has reduced.

    I can’t speak to dating, as I’m happily partnered and monogamous.
