Discussion Feeling tokenised on this sub
I've been getting the impression lately that so much of this sub is becoming posts like "as jews of conscience, what do you think of X?" or "as real jews who believe in real judaism, what do you think of Y?" These questions are from non-jews. I appreciate non-jewish allies taking part in this sub but lately it's feeling that it's just people trying to paint us as "the good jews". This sub is about being jewish and anti-Zionist and the struggles that come with that. It's not a sub for us to parade around claiming to be the "true jews" or for people to parade us around like that. We are jewish and we oppose Zionism but the Zionist jews are also jewish. We're no less or more jewish than they are. And we're not here to justify judaism in the face of Zionism. There are a million (very important) subs where there is general discussion about Palestine and the genocide in Gaza. But I feel like this sub should be something for us.

At least those ones are actually meant for this sub. So many posts are just more “Here’s the latest horrible thing Israel did” news articles being shared on half a dozen subs at the same time. It feels like they’re just looking for a rubber stamp from us to acknowledge that the latest atrocity is indeed bad. “See, even those Jews agree!”
