I have faith in people like yourself to be intelligent enough to parcel what I’ve said.
There is a reason I started with Jews and not Israelis. It’s because I’m in Canada and I’ve spoken to Jews in both Canada and America and the sentiment is the same. “Israel can do no wrong”.
Now that said, there is a hell of a lot of nuance there which will never carry over properly in a post on Lemmy or anywhere tbh.
Yeah I had to cut being friends with someone who was aggressively pro-trans rights and pro-LGBT and super accepting. Why? Because he’s Jewish and was INSISTENT that any criticism of the actions of Israel was to be antisemetic. Last I heard he’s still defending them slaughtering civilians because “They’re dangerous people.”
It’s depressing as fuck to see some people unable to seperate religion and state here.
Just illustrates how deeply we can have different principles from other people, but still agree with them on some key issues. Slowly starting to believe they see the world the same way we do. And then all the sudden we get shocked.
Sorry you had to go through losing a friend. That’s rough
He wasn’t a good friend to begin with. Everytime you were wrong he would do THAT smile and say “No” and then say what’s true. That’s aggravating enough but he would do the same to opinion. Say your opinion is wrong and explain the “correct” one with the same condescending behavior. Him being insane was just the cherry on top to make me want to leave.

I see a lot of Israeli pink washing too.
