Synagogues represent Jewish faith, not the government of Israel. There's a very very important distinction there and failing to make it is a serious issue
Maybe Jewish synagogues shouldn't fly the flag of Isreal if they don't agree with what the government is doing then? It's not saying anything about Synagogues specifically in the screenshot.
FFS do you actually think every synagogue in the world supports Israel? Plenty of Jews have spoken out against Israel's actions. Yet your world view holds that we should attack their places of worship. That's disgusting.
I literally didn't say that, and I know for a fact many Jewish people don't support Israel.
Is it a requirement for a synagogue to fly the flag of Isreal? Again that's literally indicating that they support the state and what it's doing.
Once again vandalizing a flag and attacking Jewish people isn't the same thing in the slightest.
Idk how more clear I can be, you're literally misinterpreting what I'm saying and what the post is saying to make it look anti-Jewish when it's only anti-Isreal.
I'll say this as plainly as possible, I'm not racist, I'm not religious, I don't support Hamas, I don't support Israel. I support people's right to exist and their pursuit of happiness to the extent that it doesn't negatively effect or harm other people's lives.
But you think that if a synagogue flies the star of David - which everyone I've seen does - then you believe that means they must support Israel and are therefore valid targets and noone should feel that their place of worship being attacked is in any way aimed at them?
