I used to feel like this about groups like isis but ultimately you're not responsible for their actions don't let yourself feel down about something you didn't do. Jews who are against this genocide will always have a special place in my heart because you're having to go against your own communities and get called disgusting names like self hating jews but you're standing for what you know is right
The difference is that most Muslims bent over backwards to condemn ISIS as did all their religious & cultural bodies. Most of the people fighting ISIS and getting killed by them were Muslim.
Whereas for us, the overwhelming majority of our organisations, our religious institutions and most individual Jews are Zionists.
It’s just not the same. And I don’t say that to imply you don’t have it as bad, but to illustrate that at this point equating Jews with Israel and it’s actions is an entirely reasonable, if inaccurate, position.
It’s exactly what these people have been pushing, and if that leads to antisemitism because no one in their right mind can fathom the horror of what they’re doing? Well all the better. And not just for their political purposes but also because they revel in it.
Yeah igy. Tbh if I was Jewish idek if I'd have the strength to openly be against it. I'd like to think I would but I genuinely don't know. That's why I have so much respect for you guys. As muslims we won't ever get pushback for condemning these evil groups and their actions but for you guys standing against zionism and israels actions can mean losing family and friends and being called an anti semite yourself
