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.

Posting again as it got removed due to me not having a flair. “Why is it that even saying Palestine now gets one called an antisemite? I was talking about bigotry against Muslim people somewhere (without any mention of Palestine, Palestinians, Israel, Judaism, Jewish people, you get the point) and I got called an antisemite and I am seeing this in multiple places. I don’t see this from other religious people. No one gets called a Christophobe or anti Christian or Islamophobe even when they are engaging in violent rhetoric. I don’t know where to ask this because it’s a shitty thing to do in real life and online.

The same reason anything related to Judaism or posted by a Jew is filled with "Free Palestine"/attacking the poster as a "Zionist" -- people have allowed the conflict to fill up their heads until they can't tell the difference between the "side" they are against and people who share the same label.

Didn’t downvote you but unfortunately, this doesn’t answer my questions. Would love to hear from others too.
