Justine Barron @jewstein3000.bsky.social · 11hMy timeline on X is filled with people saying that anti-Zionist Jews are just as complicit, need to take responsibility, etc and one person said “Hey just stop being Jews and you’re forgiven.” But then there’s a squirrel account saying we have fat pernicious faces so we need to do surgery too? 010
