If you're Jewish and live in America... what does israel have to do with you? You have a home. Jewish people outside israel have homes. They had homes long before moving to Palestine and would have homes even if they left.

and this kiddos is what we call — say it with me — a bad faith actor!

as a BFA, this person is deliberately misinterpreting what i said in a single post AND, if we’re being honest, either denying or ignoring the genetically proven, ancient connect that jewish people have to the land of israel.

it’s historical revisionism and quite frankly it’s a lack of reading comprehension, if you ask me.

BFA, if you want a genuine answer to this question/interrogation, then get off anon and ask me with your username public. :)

actually no i don’t support every action of the israeli government or the IDF but i also don’t support every action of the canadian and american governments — where i am a voting citizen.

however, i do proudly support the country that is home to my family, my people; and i am not blind to the fact that i wouldn’t be alive without israel, and that jews deserve a homeland. it’s really that simple.

i held off listening to maggie rogers’ newest album bc i was so angry at her persistent disinformation campaign that she went on earlier this year about israel etc. and. i can’t believe i held myself back. she literally is and has been my fave artist it’s SO shitty how conflicted i feel.

an american recruitment poster depicting the daughter of zion in a pose similar to that of uncle sam (both inspired by england's lord kitchener).

the yiddish text reads "your old-new-land must have you! / join the jewish regiment."

i’m truly devastated by the news of the death of omer neutra. i was so hopeful that he was alive, that he would come home. another israel-american life lost.
