    Jews have been at the center of every progressive American Public Good in the last 150 years, because we know, from two millennia of experience, to protect the least of us is to protect us all, having been the least of every national community we found ourselves in and subject to inquisition, pogrom, and holocaust, we have worked with everyone in the public space for the public good

    Now, those who see themselves as Progressive Liberals have vilified Jewish support for Israels existence and defense, and made Zionists, which make up the overwhelming majority of all American Jews, unwelcome in the progressive spaces we have been central too for a very long time

    So, good luck, god bless, we’re sure you can do some good, but it’s going to have to be without us, as you won’t let us in the door now

    You can’t create a better world by allowing Arabs to kill half the Jews in it

      As a fellow American Jew, I just want to say, loud and clear:

      Fuck Israel, fuck Netanyahu, and free Palestine.

      Israel is a segregationist state actively committing genocide. If you feel unwelcome in places that are against genocide, that sounds like it’s a you problem.

      Progressive spaces do not accommodate those supportive of genocide, even if you try to frame the genocide as “self defence”. The “majority” of Jews you describe are not shut out of progressive spaces, they have chosen genocidal revenge as their policy and have thus turned their back on ideals like protecting the “the least of us”. Remember, it’s not just progressives who are against the genocide supporting zonists, it’s basically the whole world who has rejected you. You are welcome in conservative circles only because Jewish control of Israel is a necessary condition for the Christian cultists doomsday proficiencies. They don’t care about Jews, they dislike Jews generally, they just support Israel because 1) a lot like ethno states and want to replicate Israels model, and 2) Jews need to be there so Christ comes back or whatever.

      Jews are more than welcome in progressive spaces, and many are there, just not the ones cheering on the mass murder and starvation of civilians. Maybe take a hard look at yourself and why your on whatever side your on.
