It’s all the other people claiming I’m the one responsible for the genocide.
If you were on the receiving end of “do you renounce Israel’s actions” and “you killed Jesus” on a regular basis, you’d understand.
Similarly, ask a Muslim how they feel every time there’s a Muslim terrorist that does something atrocious. You’ll get a very similar answer: “am I going to have to tell people I had nothing to do with this one too?”
I’m sorry, I did the worst possible Internet thing and assumed intent and perspective. Clearly I was in the wrong. I deleted my comment for being unproductive in the first place

Are these people in the room with you now?

Yes this happens all the time to muslims in very public ways. It’s become a meme. I haven’t seen a single jewish person asked to denounce zionism in the same way ever. Not in the imperial/usa media. Can you post a clip or something?
No, but they have been in the room with me many times in my life. Are you really unaware that people think Israeli = Jew and Jew = Christ killer?
Much like people think Muslim = terrorist.
Maybe you come from a privileged position where you do not regularly experience bigotry. Lucky you. I look as stereotypically Jewish as Woody Allen so I don’t have that privilege.
I’ll restate that you never said you were jewish. And it’s irrelevant since most zionists in the usa are christian.
Are you really unaware that people think Israeli = Jew and Jew = Christ killer?
People think all kinds of things. Who’s been calling you a christ killer?
Maybe you come from a privileged position where you do not regularly experience bigotry.
I come from a privileged position where I know plenty of people from plenty of religions. I think everybody is generally cool except for the zionists (both jewish, christian and others) who are at a minimum complicit in genocide.
I look as stereotypically Jewish as Woody Allen so I don’t have that privilege.
Many people look “stereotypically jewish” because it’s a pseudo-scientific stereotype. Nobody is meaningfully oppressed in usa for looking like Woody Allen. You have extreme white privilege that you’re apparently unaware of.
Edit: Oh look, it literally just happened
You asked Lemmy if you were complicit in genocide, so I asked you if you’re complicit in genocide. You said no. I said thank you. How shocking that this would happen.
I didn’t delete any comment. My reply to you is right there. Why are you lying?
(Edit: In fact, there are no deleted comments in my recent post history. They show up in post histories. I generally only delete comments when I reply to the wrong person.)
And I said in my very first post that people assume I’m responsible for the genocide in Gaza because of my ancestry. Which obviously means I’m Jewish.
Also, I never said I didn’t have white privilege. You can have white privilege and also be the victim of bigotry and oppression because of your ethnicity. See also: Roma people, Irish Travelers.
And are you really not aware of the whole “Jews are Christ killers” bigotry? Because here, this should educate you:
Sorry I got the threads confused. I’m familiar with the “christ killer” thing but I haven’t seen it on Lemmy apart from you linking to it (sus). A sad irony is that I imagine this theory is most popular among christian zionists.
More generally, if you’re actually anti-zionist, then thanks for being a decent person regardless of your religion. I’m not going to waste any more energy arguing if we actually agree on what’s important. Have a nice weekend.

No worries. Thank you.

Lucky you to not have anyone treat you like shit for killing their god.

I have never suggested that I have encountered it on Lemmy. Because I haven’t.
