If you want to live in Zion move to New York.

I am absolutely not a Zionist, but this is kind of a shitty thing to say.

The answer to "if you want to live in Zion" is "too bad."

New York is host to the second most populous Jewish community, after Tel Aviv, before Jerusalem. That's a fact, not some antisemitic conspiracy theory.

And now you stand here, introducing a derogatory term because... noone said it? What's your intention? Make it more popular? Imply that the sentiment against Jewish New York would be any worse than existing sentiment against Israel? One has quaint strings up power poles and plenty of bagels, the other a genocidal maniac and convicted terrorist as minister of national security, I don't think there's a competition to be had, there.

The answer to “if you want to live in Zion” is “too bad.”

...or is it that you don't want any more Jews in NYC?

I didn't say that it was a conspiracy theory. I said suggesting that New York is "Zion" just because of its Jewish population is a bad thing to say and I showed you the reason why.

…or is it that you don’t want any more Jews in NYC?

I'm a Jew. I'm a even mod of c/Jewish.

Nice try though.
