Why is this terrifying?
I'd be afraid that the food had been tampered with. It isn't even something that I'd considered until I saw this post, but there is actually a huge degree of implicit trust involved in eating a meal prepared and handled by someone else.
This meal was targeted specifically because it was labelled kosher, because it was expected that a jew would be receiving it.
The message itself isn't anti-semitic, but the targeting is, and there are many actual anti-semites out there who want to cause real bodily harm and/or death to jews.
How do you think a muslim or palestinian would react if their halal meal had been tagged with the note "never forget october 7" or something similar?
This wasn't targeting Americans or Israelis.
Regardless, wanting hundreds of millions of people to live in fear due to their nationality is fucked up. This kind of attitude challenges my faith in humanity.
Fear brings hate. Hate brings violence. Violence brings death. Violence and death bring fear.
The way to break the cycle is creating safety by removing violent actors, fostering compassion and combating hate.
This really fucking screams either "American trying to do his first communism" or "guy trying to make the entire left look bad".
Did you fucking forget to get class conscious along the way? Did you see ambiguity in "workers of the world unite"? Did you think that "international solidarity" was just meaningless platitude?
One can (and I am and will) disagree with the policies of the governments of the US and Israel. One can (and I do and will) oppose the militarism, the enormous exploitation of their working class and the xenophobia that are driven by their economic elites. But one should not undermine the international struggle because one disagrees with the national politics of the nations were your comrades happen to live. One should not fall hook, line and sinker for the tricks and ploys they have been using for eternities to keep the working class fighting each other, instead of their exploiters.
I'm sure you'd make a great little soldier.
Self-victimizing and false equivalence, classic.
Non Jews sure don't have any idea how rabid people who hate Jews can get
It's not like there was a massive event centered around killing as many of us as possible or anything
Well there's certainly no other racial or minority group that could understand that
Maybe it's my own confirmation bias but I see more dismissal of Jewish concerns than others even in progressive spaces 🤷
It might help if you don't imply Jewish people are the only targets of genocide, but I do think this very topic proves the overall point
I personally find it hilarious. And I'm a Jew who supports Palestine.
