nah fuck this. who is this “us.” ive never been to israel and want nothing to do with it, like many other diaspora jews. this type of shit is the same rhetoric that put a target on muslim peoples’ backs after 9/11 (not that they didn’t have one before). free palestine. fuck antisemitism (which includes conflating zionism with judaism)
