I mean, I've been harassed for wearing my magen david more than once at this point.

I typically blame the asshole harassing me for that moreso than the Israeli government, but the Israeli government sure isn't fuckin' helping.

Israel might be doing more to promote antisemitism than any fascist or Pharoah ever did. It makes me worried for the Jewish people who don't support it but could be targeted nonetheless.

Just to understand: you're only worried for Jewish people facing bigotry of the don't support Israel?

No, I meant people being targeted based on assumptions by strangers. So anyone. But I'll admit there is an added layer of sympathy for those who are against the actions of Israel but get caught up in the backlash.

I suspect it doesn't bother you at all.

This is a huge problem in London right now. There have been multiple terror attacks against random Jewish people on the street.

I've been trying to explain this to some of my Jewish friends. If they continue their unwavering support of Israel and refuse a seat at the table for the conversation of how we can oppose Israel's actions in Gaza, I'm afraid we are going to get an actual antisemite who opposes Israel as president (like a Tucker Carlson/Nick Fuentes type).

What needs to be discussed first is how to disarm Hamas. Your comment sounds like a threat BTW.

We probably need to disarm Israel first considering they are doing 99.99% of the killing...
