    Saying Jews are awesome is not a valid statement, because just like every group some of them are awesome, some are neutral, and some are awful. It should say something like “Jews are regular people”

      Replace it with two lines:

      JEWS ARE PEOPLE
      PALESTINIANS ARE ALSO PEOPLE

          Lets remove the Holocaust is happening again too.

          Right wings idiots have been using that shit for too long to water it down.

          Genocide does not equal holocaust.

          Genocide has happened and been happening somewhere new almost every 5 years and continuously all over the world so let’s not pretend it’s something new with Israel and Palestine either lol.

        I feel like - while well-intended - the “also” here is kind of accommodating the belief of dimwits that this is somehow up for debate.

        What about everyone else? This sign needs to be perfectly neutral. I won’t sleep until it is reduced down to one word: “People”.

      if you can say “Humans are awesome”, which you can whilst everyone knows the caveats to that, you can say Jews are awesome.

        Humans suck. Worst sentient species I’ve ever met.

          I love humans. Or anyway, I try very hard to. But they are very near the bottom of my list as well.

          Still, it was an excellent rhetorical point.

          the ones committing war crimes are not doing so “as jews” though, they are doing so because they are horrible humans who happened to be born jewish.

      That’s not what “valid” means. This is an opinion, so you don’t get to declare it invalid. You are free to disagree, though.

      I’ll let it slide honestly, underscores like “the Larry Davids of the world are lit” given the rest makes clear “any genocidal maniac is evil and neither religion nor past atrocities against their ancestors will shield them from criticism”

      I feel we’re really ratfucking this, but how about just “Many Jews Are Awesome”

      Doesn’t that cover most if not all of the various objections?

      It’s a statement of opinion, which is perfectly valid, you just needed to say something because you don’t like Jews…

        I don’t know about that. I can say “humans are awful” without any apprehension…
