I’m actually becoming deeply convinced that one of the biggest dangers to the Jewish community is Israel itself.
As things currently stand, they have the power to make people hate Jewish people more than just about anything else in this world.
Not because I’m conflating being Jewish with being Israeli or vice versa, but because that appears to be the message they want to the world to embrace. That is really synonymous with being Jewish.
Look at how quickly right wingers run the world are to jump to calling you anti-Semitic if you don’t appreciate something israel does.

I’m a simple man.
I see people being nice, I respect them. I see people hurting others I say fuck ‘em.

You know what I mean? It doesn’t have to be harder than that. It used to be how we showed each other what is acceptable and what isn’t. That… doesn’t seem to “take” anymore.

You would think a group that suffered the most horrific treatment from the nazis would do the exact opposite, not improve on their playbook
That “never forget” slogan seems to mean “shoot first so they can’t” lately.

They missed the part about “turn the other cheek”. Maybe that’s not in their religion, eh.
