Ever since Gaza, more than half the world hates Jews. I want to ignore it but my paranoia tells me people are planning to kill me because I’m “a Greedy, Evil, Jewish Rat.” I don’t know how to handle these kinds of people.
I hope people here don’t look down on me for being Jewish.
I’m not Jewish so I don’t experience antisemitism personally but I think informed people can distinguish between hating Jews and hating what the Israeli government is going in Gaza. You are not antisemitic because you hate the genocide taking place as we speak. Not everybody who hates what the Israeli leaders are doing in Gaza and Iran hates Jews. And while antisemitism is a real thing the word is thrown around a lot to label anyone who disagrees with Israeli policy.
Just being paranoid that a second holocaust is on its way or the Israelis will be kicked out because of the desicions of evil people who are not connected to the rest of the people.
Been frightening times for me. I just wish Israelis and Muslims will get along like they did thousands of years ago.
You’re my brother. And a I’m a real Muslim who studies Islam and Arabic (to an extent more so than average average Muslim and non Muslim). Don’t let the paranoia beat you. And don’t misunderstand that Islam has some reason to “kill all infidels” because it doesn’t - lost translations and idiots exist
You’re better than the idiots who pervert genuine faith for political reasons. Trust in the goodness of people
Thank you for caling me your friend! I hope you understand the majority of Jews like me are not like that. Jews and Muslims used to be best friends. I want that back.
It’s a tricky subject. As with any group of people be they Jewish or German,Spanish,Hungarian etc. There are good and bad people within that group. Unfortunately legitimate criticism of the Israeli government is all too often dishonestly taken as an attack against Jews as as a group of ordinary citizens. It is perfectly acceptable to criticise those governing Israel. It is not acceptable to behave hatefully to Jews as individuals because of the actions of that Israeli government.
@PhotoGuy as a group Ashkenazi Jews are perhaps the smartest group of people. See https://www.thejc.com/opinion/why-are-there-so-many-jewish-nobel-winners-ctycke48 . My stepmother is Jewish and very smart . Her family originally came from Belarus , and then lived in the New York area. You are a good person, who’s a talented photographer. There is no justifiable reason for you to be disliked or hated just because you are Jewish..
Politics will always follow doctrines of divide an conquer. But I’m sure, things will stabilise and side by side we’ll live as we have done for a thousand years. It’s truly sad what’s happening right now so I understand why you feel how you do - all too familiar to with it
I know Jews have a lot of smart people. I don’t like saying this but I’ve been called a genius multiple times, but I really don’t think so. My Jewish family is very intelligent though.
Just Facebook is full of antisemites and anti Muslim people.
I am half Italian on my Mothers side and half Middle Eastern (Christian) on my fathers side.
Like @anon54334749 I consider the Jewish people to be my brothers and sisters.
What @LilyoftheValley said makes a lot of sense.
Not every one is a hater.
There are a lot of good people out there too.
I have no Jewish ancestry nor do I have any Arab ancestry either. However, from what I understand of the situation is that the Jewish people are of European ancestry and the people of Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Egypt, Kuwait and many others have Arab or Persian ancestry. Understand the perspective of the people of the Middle East region where a significant area of a historic biblical context is situated in a Muslim majority region.
