An old Jew eventually dies of old age and goes to heaven. He meets God and tells him a holocaust joke. And God says “That’s not funny”. And he says: “I guess you had to be there.”

(I like how philosophical the joke is, heard it from Ricky Gervais.)

      Zionism isn’t the same as Judaism. A lot of holocaust survivors are horrified by what Israel is doing (and we’re enabling).

      Considering the actions of the Israeli government grotesque, and hating Jews are not the same thing.

      You don’t have to be callus or confrontational every time people mention jews or the things they’ve been through as a minority community.

      I get you’re angry at the injustices of the world, but it doesn’t help to paint an entire minority group with the brush of a genocidal government just because they’re loosely associated.
