I'm Jewish and I'm going to echo several points I made in previous threads. Apologies if you have already seen them:
I have never in my life, until Israel started this genocide, heard any Republicans stand up and collectively speak out against antisemitism. They sure didn't give a fuck when I was watching in horror while Nazis in Charlottesville chanted "Jews will not replace us."
The George Soros antisemitism shit is so fucking transparent. They don't even hide it. To paraphrase what Matt Gaetz said in the article because I don't want to look it back up, "not every criticism of George Soros is antisemitic." Some More News did a really good episode on this subject that just came out and does point out some legitimate criticisms of Soros, none of which Republicans make: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEZzlC3gYk8
It is true that evangelical Christians believe that Israel has to exist for Jesus to return. This is the part they don't say out loud: Every Jew in the world has to be exiled to Israel for this to happen.
Not all Jews are Israelis and not all Jews support Israel's genocide or apartheid. I certainly don't and never have. I feel no allegiance to Israel whatsoever. I am from Indiana and have far more things in common with a Christian from Indiana than I do practically anyone in Haifa. The entity that benefits the most from people thinking all Jews are Israelis is Israel. Do not fall for it.
Thank you for commenting. Your perspective is invaluable.
