Feeling tokenised on this sub

[u/Jche98]

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.

I try not to post in here much, as an ally, even if I want to weigh in. This is your place. Just here to passively learn from discussion

Me too. I like to see the range of viewpoints, I read posts here, jewishleft, judaism, Jewish etc.

It'd be useful to require non Jews to have flairs though so we can know when a non Jewish person is commenting.

Couldn't a person claim to be Jewish even if they were not? How would the mods verify the IDs of the almost 10k subs?

Of course lol this is the internet. I’m sure they are many many people on Reddit under fake identities. People can lie and we have no way to check. I’m not talking about this subreddit but the whole site.

I personally don’t like the idea of requesting ids even then what if someone is 1/4 Jewish? They might not have the name to back it up.

We just gotta really on good faith and the mods will moderate people breaking the rules.
