“I am not running for non-Jew of the year” made me laugh (non-Jew here too). Keep seeking the truth :) Shalom

Believe it or not, I have a *Jewish* friend who would have said 'Israel did a lot of bad things too.' It's a good thing we don't live near each other & communicate only by email. And get this -- once upon a time she was in rabbinical school...

I believe it! One of my Jewish friends told me that Israel is to blame for antisemitism. Another is big in JVP. They don’t talk to me anymore. Oh well.

Yeah, my friend is a member of JVP. I told her they're a Hamas front (I know someone w/ 1st hand knowledge of this), & sent her some other info.

Just discovering you April. Your words really touch me and yes you do speak on behalf of us non-jews who have strong ties with Israël and therefore got rid of mainstream media's bias and blatant supporting terrorist's propaganda.

This struck me :

"... I don’t cut people off because their political beliefs are inane, but we avoid the topic."

Where I live, in the South of France, I don't bring up the subject, not even with close ones. The kindest reaction I got from one of them was : "You cannot carry the world's problems on your shoulders".

In other words, they don't care about Israel. Or Sudan, or the rest of mankind's suffering in this world. They just continue living their lives.

I'll be honored to join you in the journey! Thank you so much.

Your opinions are not to the right of most American Jews. You have a superb moral compass and compassion for victims, and an ability to discern victim from victimizer. Keep up the good work! Matthew 7:6; Genesis 12:3

Girl be so for fucking real right now. As a Jew, you should be disgusted that Musk made a Nazi salute. Why are you making excuses?? Nazis wiped out generations of Jews. And the fact that you are aligning with white Christian nationalists should be a wake up call. I'm glad the Jewish prisoners were freed. But this post is not it. 🤢
