@jcast Collective Jewish guilt is one of the oldest European patterns for antisemitism. Do we also owe you an explanation for why Jesus died? Criticize Israel all you want. But posts like this, which you may think are innocuous (or even clever), perpetuate the antisemitic collective guilt that gets our kids threatened in school and our friends attacked in the streets.
Here's a tip: would you ever demand this of a black person, a Hispanic, or a Native American? No, because it would be racist.
