And for my analogous situation, White Americans vs White cops.

It's very important for the latter to condemn the actions, but still important for the former to do so as well.

If we’re talking Israelis then yes. Also would love more protections for people who want to speak up. There are a lot of organisations that just go around doxing people as ‘anti semitic’ for being against genocide. I’m scared I’ll lose my job sometimes too

The thing is, any Jew can automatically become an Israeli citizen by chopsing to do so. So being Jewish vs being Israeli isn't as removed as any other religion and country that I know of.

You're allowing Israel to conflate Zionism with Judaism here.

I think it is important for Jewish people to speak out, but only because it helps to expose the bullshit "antisemitic" attack on critics. In the end, it's on every human being to speak out on this because it is a genocide.
