    Israel and Jews is not the same thing. There are many Jews in Israel. There are many more outside it.

    Just as Hamas terrorist attack does not give Israel carte blanche to kill innocent people, Israel’s actions don’t give a reason to justify antisemitism.

    Criticism of Israel is perfectly valid, but in commenting here, you’re equating the two, which is part of the problem.

      Didn’t say the association if fair. I want peace everywhere. But humans as a whole are not smart.

        Hi. American Jew here. I do not support Israel. I have no allegiance with Israel. I don’t even have any interest in visiting Israel.

        I’d like to not have to tell my daughter to hide her ethnicity because America is filled with antisemites. I was harassed for my ethnicity all through school because I couldn’t hide it (I look too stereotypically Jewish). She has a chance, but it’s disgusting that I have to tell her to hide it because “the world is tired of Israel’s shit” as if that had anything to do with either of us.
