Conflating Jews and Israelis is bigoted. Jews have lived in the Levant uninterrupted for thousands of years. They were not in Israel for the vast majority of that time.

I am a Jew. I am not an Israeli. I have no affiliation with or affinity for Israel. Do not associate me with them.

It's kinda sad because Israel brands itself as the representative of all Jews everywhere, which in my opinion, has actually increased antisemitism and made Jews worldwide LESS safe. Israel's very existence is antithetical.

I come from a country with very significant Jewish history, and almost all of us here despise Israel with a burning passion regardless. I don't think it's allowed to represent Jews and Judaism, seeing the war crimes it has committed and continues to commit to this very day. Oh, but criticism of Israel is antisemitic, MY ASS. There are Muslims that hate Saudi Arabia, why don't you call them Islamophobic, huh?
