Hey, I agree with you my comment was a bit bigoted. This comment was half-written in the context of being a Lemmy Shitpost, but it has spawned a chain of genuine discussion.
The important thing is to separate the hate for what Israel is doing from Jewish people in general. (Same with Palestinians, Hamas and Islam)
Anti-Semites and Nazis, Islamic fundamentalists, the Israeli government, the Australian Jewish Association all try to fuse the two together to justify violence.
This comment is actually pretty bigoted. I’ve heard literal Nazis talk the exact same way about Muslims and their religious texts.
Just because something was written in a religious book a thousand years ago doesn’t mean it is automatically endorsed by the entire population.
