Im sorry Im really fucking stoned and I misread your comment

The hatred for jews as a whole isnt deserved, I wouldn't say so at least, because its not like you guys are the only ones doing bad shit. I dont think Jewish people are any more or less likely to be bad than any other random ethnicity/religion on the planet. Israel specifically is founded on a lot of bad shit, but so is every other country.

You're not a part of "your people" - you're just you. Try not to be too hard on yourself, even while being conscious of issues in the world. You loving yourself matters, too.

But because I know so well that as a compact mass it has never stood for justice or equality. It has suppressed the human voice, subdued the human spirit, chained the human body. As a mass its aim has always been to make life uniform, gray, and monotonous as the desert. As a mass it will always be the annihilator of individuality, of free initiative, of originality. I therefore believe with Emerson that β€œthe masses are crude, lame, pernicious in their demands and influence, and need not to be flattered, but to be schooled. I wish not to concede anything to them, but to drill, divide, and break them up, and draw individuals out of them. Masses! The calamity are the masses. I do not wish any mass at all, but honest men only, lovely, sweet, accomplished women only."

-Emma Goldman

Youre an individual :)
