AAJ "Ask A Jew" Wednesday

It's everyone's favorite day of the week, "Ask A (Anti-Zionist) Jew" Wednesday! Ask whatever you want to know, within the sub rules, notably that this is not a debate sub and do not import drama from other subreddits. That aside, have fun! We love to dialogue with our non-Jewish siblings.

For those who live in Israel, when I check Twitter or comments section on JPost it’s absolutely horrifying to see the genocidal rhetoric being spoken so casually, degrading terms like “rats” and “subhumans” etc. are also super common and almost never challenged. I really can’t tell if this is a common rhetoric, are these your average Israeli Jews, or is this less common?

Jerusalem Post is a sad shell of its former self and has become a poorly-written and overtly right wing rag. It is not really read by Israelis, it is aimed at an international English-speaking right wing audience. Of course I don't know who is making those comments but I would assume there is significant overlap with Fox News and the like.

Thanks! That makes me feel better! Overall do you think that the “subhuman” “rats” mentality is common among Israelis?
