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!

Considering the magnitude in capacity and scale of lies that zionists convey every day, to themselves, and to the world. As well as how everything and everyone is made out to be an antisemitic person, or has such thoughts.

Does it make you scared to talk to people about real anti-semitic events when it happens to you or someone you know ?

No, because pro-Palestinian/anti-zionist spaces understand nuance and have empathy for bigotry. I have not face much antisemitism in my life but I have a few experiences where being Jewish meant being othered. When I share them I get nothing but empathy and understanding. I also don't present it like it's the worst oppression/bigotry anyone has ever experienced.
