I could be wrong here but I feel like in the context of this post it should be extremely clear that my tags are directed not at Jews or any other non-Christians, but rather at Christians who are in turn addressing other Christians. I'm not Christian, I don't see any need to get Jesus involved either, but I also understand that it's not reasonable to expect Christians to pretend that their religious beliefs have no bearing on their sense of right and wrong, especially when they are talking to other people who share those beliefs. Same goes for any religion.

#I am half Jewish my literal entire father is Jewish #I understand perfectly well that Jews don't care what Jesus thinks #but I also understand that some people DO care what Jesus thinks whether I like it or not!#it's *maybe* possible that the op (who wrote the 'or just don't bring Jesus into it' comment)#thought that I meant 'if you have to make an Easter-related post about Palestine'#when really I meant 'if you feel the need to bring Jesus into *any* post about Palestine'#I was really tempted to respond to them clarifying what I meant but I decided it's just not worth it #but the second comment ('right like Jews do not care' etc.) is so condescending and wrongheaded #...okay I went to their blog and saw that they consider Zionism 'an indigenous land back movement' lmao #well that just vanquished any qualms I had about complaining about them on my blog #the idea that my dad—a white 3rd gen New Yorker—is 'indigenous' to the middle east is (in isolation) hilarious #anyway to get back on topic: the original post WAS complaining about a legitimately antisemitic pro-Palestine Christian post #but a Christian supporting Palestine for Jesus-related reasons is not inherently antisemitic #as long as those reasons are 'Jesus (who was literally Jewish) is my role model and these are the values he espouses'#(and as long as those values do not include hating Jews obviously)#x #personal
