Jewish person here just would like to remind everyone that in the Torah the first Jewish kingdom was built on genocide and the second kingdom was built on slavery (where the ruling tribe enslaved everyone else including the grand majority of other Jewish people)
These people are idiots even according to their own logic but then again you cant expect internal consistency from reactionaries
I wish that one day I could be proud of my people, or at the very least that one day I might not be ashamed to be Jewish. That one day my people may not be guilty of the greatest crimes against humanity.
Did you grow up practicing? Like is your family actively involved or is it more of an ethnicity/heritage thing
Just curious, I’m not Jewish although my step dad was Catholic and I spent a few years of my teens going to mass, I never really fully engaged or believed in it but as I got older I felt it would be dishonest to say I didn’t take away any positive concepts from Catholicism
I understand the feeling of being conflicted as the reality of the issues present in certain parts of human culture become painfully obvious while still longing to feel connected to or proud of certain elements of ourselves
I grew up as an actively practicing religious Orthodox Jew, my family is mostly Orthodox, today im not practicing but the culture and ideas have shaped me fundamentally in ways that I can never unlearn. All I can do is reject reaction to the best of my ability and take the good.

(Edit 2: Ironically now hes calling Trump antisemtic and racist, suddenly he has a problem with bigotry)
Thanks for being realistic about the roots of your religion/ethnic identity
Some of these people are completely delusional? Everyone is simply a human being for fucks sake

We will fight to fix the world, and teach better lessons to the next generation.
At the end of our fight, we will die, and our flaws will go with us.
Eerily similar to the US
Yeah who do you think inspired the Amerikkkans, the UKKK, and the French?
I never thought that but it fits. Are these the judeo-christian values the ben Shapiro types keep going on about? Lmfao
On a more serious note, are there any books/writing on this? Probably not I’m guessing
