I know a lot of pro-Israel Jews, and almost none of them are as reactive and out of touch as the folks on r/Jewish. They permabanned me and listed several reasons, among which was misspelling Israel as "Isreal," Dyslexics are a key part of the Axis of Resistance of after all

That sub has devolved into non-stop victimization. Such a shame when there's so many other aspects of being Jewish that can be expressed.

I noticed this change too. I originally joined began browsing that subreddit to research Jewish religious holidays (i have a passion for religious holidays- i think they're all pretty awesome and fun to look into ngl) but very quickly the subreddit became less filled with genuine "Jewish Joy" flaired posts and more poisoned with hasbara or extreme victimisation. It's a shame.

Every once in a while I go in there to deliberately upvote the Jewish Joy posts. Especially the ones involving food :D

That's sweet of you! I love food so i'd do the same if i wasn't so paranoid about upvoting a Zionist. Shame we don't see many Jewish food posts here to be honest.

Eh I’m Lebanese American (from a southern Shia village). I love food. I feel it’s safe to upvote food posts. Even if the poster is a Zionist, we all gotta eat.
