    Holy shit, that whole sub… that’s just sad.

    I did a bit of research on Judaism to reconcile with zionism/anti-semitism and all that, and I saw how different it is from zionism, and that zionism is actually more anti-semitic than being anti-zionist etc.

    But imagine if you knew nothing about it, and then went on r/Jewish. You would be getting the WRONG impression for sure.

      Looked against my better judgement, you weren’t kidding. These reddit-logoers are completely buying into the antisemitic lies equating the genocidal fascist state of Israel with Judaism as a whole.

      It’s a shame. Judaism actually has a lot of really cool attitudes and lessons to it, at least, some interpretations. It’s such an old religion that it can’t be described as a monoloth any more than Islam can. I think it’s really important for the Left to hold onto this fact and defend our Jewish comrades who are bravely going against the grain in their communities.
