   Regular reminder that Jewish people, as a whole, cannot be blamed for what the #Netanyahu regime is doing in #Gaza / #Palestine. Most Jewish people cannot vote in #Israeli elections, do not have influence over that government, and overwhelmingly dislike Netanyahu himself. Even in israel, we see a chunk of the population openly protesting what is happening: support is not unanimous there. Even then, the majority of support is coming from anger and fear, not some innate desire to carry out #genocide.

   Blaming Jewish people, as a whole, for what a group of extremists are doing in #Palestine is not only as absurd as people blaming #Palestinians, as a whole, for what Hamas did, it is counterproductive to the greater movement, where Jewish voices are the most effective ones.

   Antisemitism is no more a winning argument than #islamophobia, and neither are really appropriate or civil discourse.

   Stop blaming entire groups for the actions of a few members.

     It makes me happy to hear you say that on many levels... While Israel is an absolute disgrace and deserves to be shamed for what their doing, to equate that with Jews in general is deplorable and uncalled for!
