CHRISTIANS: this verse in the old testament says X
JEWS: It doesn't say that
CHRISTIAN: maybe. Who knows?
JEWS: we do. That's not in the Hebrew
CHRISTIAN: no one knows what the original language means
JEWS: Yes we do. We can read it.
CHRISTIAN: It's lost forever

Yes, this exactly. The two things I see all the time from leftish gentiles are:

"Actually, ultra-Orthodox Jews are antizionist!"

and

"Actually some ultra-Orthodox Jews are very progressive!"

And then I sigh and get swallowed by the Earth.

JVP and IfNotNow, two Jewish groups principally committed to nonviolence, are both on the government’s list of left-wing violent extremist groups

Admin cracking down on Soros, Indivisible, ActBlue, & Jewish peace groups is incredible projection in light of federal contractor El*n M*sk spending more on politics in 2024 than anybody in human history and all the big money corruption of 2025

They've done it. They've reinvented "autism is a Jewish plot to weaken the West" from a brand new set of crazy ass starting assumptions.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

It was someone doubling down on claiming antizionism is *never* antisemitism so hard that they agreed that spray painting "Watch out, jihadists" on a mosque would not be a hate crime.

Literally no one here is making the case that antizionism per force makes one antisemitic, though. Zero people in this conversation have made that claim.

Thanks for telling me about Reconstructionist Jews, how would in every have learned about this without you.

I should definitely talk to my therapist about this.

Guys, is it weird that having a gentile explain Reconstruction Judaism to me in response to my calling them out about tokenizing Neturei Karta is kinda giving me gender euphoria?

prairiehouse.bsky.social @prairiehouse.bsky.social · 21h

Reconstructionist Jews are largely anti-Zionist/anti-"Israel". Lots of Jews are. You're obviously only repeating talking points without any ability to think clearly, so I don't see a point in continuing.

Yes, it *could* be any number of unlikely things, but the likely thing is that someone targeted random Jews in Minneapolis over an atrocity in another part of the world that they are not responsible for and cannot control *because they are Jews*. Which is antisemitism.

This Is Completely Unprepared, and I Am Real @jsx.bsky.social · 20h

I am doing literally none of those things, what on Earth are you talking about?

These are not the guys you want to go to as your token Jews. For one thing, they will *always* be guys, because NK is crazy misogynistic, even among haredim.

See, this is why you should probably listen more and talk less when discussing this topic.

This isn't a representative of "ultra-Orthodox Jews", this is a representative of Neturei Karta. They're an unbelievably tiny fringe group of fundamentalist weirdos. They're not authorities of any sort.

I am ONCE AGAIN asking gentiles to learn one (1) thing about Neturei Karta apart from their stance on the State of Israel.

prairiehouse.bsky.social @prairiehouse.bsky.social · 21h

In fact, Ultra-Orthodox Jews (among many other sects) angrily reject Zionism precisely because it's against - not merely unnecessary to - Judaism. Here, so you learn something about Judaism:

Ok, so "Nazi" isn't hate speech. So if I spray painted "Watch out Nazis" on your house, that would just be political speech, right? If you interpreted that as blaming you for Nazis, or threatening you, specifically, as one of the Nazis who should watch out, you'd be totally off base. Right?

Putting aside what a ridiculously absurd phrase "Zionist run synagogue" is -

You're asking this *now*, after defending targeting it all this time? You see the problem with that, right?

And no, it's not "Zionist run". It's just a synagogue. And a VERY liberal one at that.
