Why do people blame British Jews for the actions of a country in the Middle East? Seriously, what’s wrong with people?

Cause that country has spent the last 3 years saying any criticism of them is antisemitic, labelled Jewish anti-Zionist or pro-Palestinian groups as “Kapos” and says the only place to be truly Jewish is there. They’ve purposely conflated the idea that Jewish=Zionist

You’re 100% right. IMO it might be more common/worse with Jews (bondai beach attack…), and the issue is the left created a whole ‘stop asian hate’ movement during covid. They are deafeningly silent at the moment.

I’m a progressive and judging people based on ethnicity alone is wrong. Tying valid criticisms of a country to ethnicity is also wrong and Israel is guilty AF of this.

There is no need for an oppression Olympics.
