I have no idea. I’m an American who, at the moment, is pretty damn angry about my country. 3 kids gunned down today. A cabinet member who wanted a public execution. And “I’ve got a friend” is a pretty sad thing to say. Is that the only Israeli you know?

No they don’t. And Israel is not an ethnostate. 27% of Israel’s population is not Jewish. You’re talking about what the government wants, not the population. Kind of like how trump is president but most of us hate his guts. Stop thinking you understand what you clearly don’t.

I just read your bio and you seem to have a real problem with putting all Hispanics in one box. Why don’t you try to understand that not all Zionists or Jews are the same? I respect what you feel. Try to have a bit of empathy for me. It’s not easy being a Jewish person right now.

Most of us Jews are Zionists. We think of Israel as our homeland. That doesn’t mean we all agree with the direction Netanyahu has gone in. But when you insult Zionists, you insult Jews, whether you believe it or not. And the anti-Zionist trend is directly why antisemitism is increasing.

Maybe you, if you’re not Jewish, should try and look at it from my point of view for a hot minute. Israel was given to Jews to make a safe harbor for my ancestors who managed to avoid incineration during WWIi. It’s not as simple as you seek to think it is. Shalom

The increase in antisemitic crimes and hate, which has nothing to do with Israel and everything to do with being Jewish, is a direct result of the masses being uninformed and stupid and believing all Jews are responsible for Netanyahu’s war. You can be a Zionist and not support what he’s doing.

Palestinians? We know Netanyahu is a beast. We know he will continue. But stoking the fires of Jew hatred isn’t going to save one Palestinian life. So do something that will make a difference instead of just yelling “genocide,” even as their population grows.

Well, you can do what you want. But when they start coming for Jews globally, which they will if this continues to go the way it has been, you’ll be partly responsible. Why don’t you condemn Hamas and not Israel? What about the Muslim countries that are sitting and doing nothing to help

You’re missing my point completely. There are many people who are using this situation to minimize what happened to my ancestors, say it’s made up, scoff at the number who died, and generally turn all Jews into the enemy.

Hamas as human shields and to create anger towards Israel (and Jews globally) and there is plenty of antisemitic behavior that indicates the world has forgotten us and what we went through. As a Jew it’s important for me to remind people like you that we were systematically hunted down and

I have a lot of “EMPATHY” for the Palestinian people and I also despise Netanyahu as much as I do trump. What I don’t like is the casual use of the word genocide when this is a war and what happened to Jews in WWII was a targeted annihilation of a religious group. Palestinians are being used by

Israeli government is absolutely leading to a higher incidence of antisemitism - it’s allowing antisemitism to be normalized, even as people who are calling Zionists terrorists deny they mean all Jews. History does repeat itself. The last survivor of Auschwitz recently died. People are forgetting.

We just spent 2 hours at the Anne Frank museum in Amsterdam. The terror and destruction that Jews endured, including losing 2/3 of our people in 5 years, is impossible to comprehend. That was a genocide. The idea that Jews globally are being blamed for what is being done by the

And HAMAS does not give a flying fu$k about the Palestinians, nor do surrounding Muslim countries. As a Jew it’s my responsibility to hold people accountable for dismissing what led to the creation of Israel in the first place. Shalom.

We just spent 2 hours at the Anne Frank museum. If you want to understand what genocide is, please go see it. There was no reason for 6 million Jews to be incinerated besides hate. HAMAS is responsible for creating this situation which the evil Israeli leadership has used to its advantage

Seeing an editorial by Erika Kirk in the @nytimes.com on Labor Day is extremely offensive to me. Charlie Kirk's death was tragic, but giving a right-wing grifter space in the Times to draw more attention to herself is a shame.

You can say that, but the rise in antisemitism globally says otherwise. There are too many people who hate Jews who are using Israel's aggressive and murderous behavior to unleash their antisemitism. It's very frightening for the Jewish diaspora. Signed, a Jew
