#this is specifically intended to make white leftist pro-palestine spaces reconsider their attitudes towards my people

I'm still intentionally for my own safety not saying anything about my stances on anything happening in the Middle East. So please do not try to interpret any part of what I am saying as evidence of my opinions. But I am observing that regardless of my personal stance, I feel a lot safer as a Jewish person in the small rural super red pro Israel town in Georgia that I'm moving to than I have felt being Jewish in any of the predominantly white non-Palestinian pro-Palestine spaces I've encountered on the left. Obviously this safety comes with conditions, and I don't need anyone lecturing me about what my new neighbors really think of me, but it bears saying that if you want us to feel welcome in your spaces a good way to start is by not reducing everything our culture has centered around for thousands of years to modern day colonizer bullshit when we've been here the whole time. And if you don't want us to feel welcome in your spaces, you don't get to claim that you aren't being bigoted.
