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.

Please remember to pick an appropriate user-flair in order to participate! Thanks!

How do JOC members feel about r/jewish?

I just had a lurk there, and... it's like stepping out onto a different planet. Up is down, black is white, and of course anti-Zionism IS anti-semitism.

It's a case of crowdsourcing the superego -- a place to go to get approval for what some of them probably realize are morally dubious (at least) opinions. The echo chamber effect likely makes some of them feel better -- they can't be a bad person if others agree with them, right?
