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!

Just remember to be kind and understanding as you do so. Making enemies of our own family doesn’t serve us. But also remember that complete honesty and sticking to morals can be a form of love.

Best of luck to you brother

I will try my best.

Just to be clear, I am not a Hindu, I am a Sikh. We are survivors of oppression and we know how ethnic polarisation has impacted our people. We have survived countless genocides across history from Mughal and Afghan repression to British violence to the 1947 partition to the 1984 genocide. That empathy will hopefully go somewhere.

My apologies, I did notice that from your flair. Writing Hindu* was a typo 😅

No worries, I have nothing against Hindus but it's just that our people tend to be erased. Especially by right wing Hindu nationalists who treat us the same way that Christian nationalists treat Jews
