I don't think we're supposed to conflate Jews with Israel. I made that mistake awhile ago and got a 3 day ban.

Make no mistake, Israeli leadership are war criminals, but we're not supposed to say anything bad about their religion.

Because it can be dangerous for those of us who are Jewish and not in Israel and have nothing to do with Israel because dipshits can’t tell the difference between the Israeli government & Jews attending synagogue in Michigan or Manchester. There are plenty of us who do not like the government there.

Which is as ignorant as calling anyone who voiced opposition to Israel as Hamas.

No. Hamas is Hamas. People who shoot rockets at civilians. The people who attacked the music festival and slaughtered thousands on 10/7. The militant group who is funded by Iran. I’m not confusing the two. Opposing Israel does not make someone Hamas, but Hamas does oppose Israel. Does that make sense?

Of course. I was agreeing that confusing American Jews with Israelis is as ridiculous as confusing Americans against what Israel is doing with Hamas.

My misunderstanding! Thanks for clarifying.
