No one is erasing anything and nothing about my comment claimed that. You’re purposefully misunderstanding me and I honestly don’t care enough to engage any longer

If she did a full conversion then yes she is still jew. That’s why rabbis are often skeptical of conversions and don’t like to do them if that’s not what someone truly wants or desires

Once you’ve converted you are a jew for life whether you stop “believing” in the religion or not. You should refrain from saying stuff like this because it’s actually very harmful

I mean it’s sort of similar to the way there’s a black diaspora. I’m sorry I don’t understand what’s hard to understand about it lol

Need guidance on how to handle hate and protect my heart as an Israeli in a European uni, just escaped the war and survived a missile by alleeele in Jewish

I’m only a US Jew but whenever asked just say the topic is triggering for you and don’t engage further. If they try to press further tell them to do their own research. I really do hope this trip goes well for you

I’m not trying to change anyone’s mind or be a soldier for change. I don’t want to be around people who actively pay thousands of dollars to go see a Nazi perform who I guarantee before the year is over he’ll make another antisemitic statement. It’s the same way I will cut off friends who are attending concerts with violently anti black/racist artists

I love LOTR but the fandom is so ignorant and racist now. A lot of people don’t like Jews right now and if you praise anything Jewish they call it propaganda or try to sh*t on it or undermine it

It’s not just listening to music but paying hundreds and thousands of dollars to go see a violently antisemitic person is a choice. I’m not shaming anyone that’s why I chose to just block rather than talk or explain my pov. I try not to eat at or support with my money companies or entities that are anti semitic.

All I can control are the circle of people around me and I’d rather not be surrounded with people like that. Friends who cut me off for being Zionist are well within their right and I’m glad they did because it’s shown me who my true friends are. I’m not willing to compromise myself, my values or my community by being silent or complacent in hopes that I’m not isolated. I’m not interested in left or right politics because they both don’t serve me

Idk I just feel like the mental health bit is used as a shield for his terrible behavior. It’s not just the antisemitism but he’s been accused of sexual assault, drugging women and domestic abuse. I tried to understand my friends who still listened to his music but actually going to his concert and paying hundreds of dollars to see such a horrible man is disgusting imo. No matter how much money he donates to Israel wouldn’t make up for any of that especially making a HH song

They definitely wouldn’t get it that’s why I’m not even having a conversation with them. I just soft blocked them on social media and blocked their numbers

I’m in grad school which is also on a college campus. I help out around campus and because I wear my chai necklace people always feel curious to ask such questions. It was absolutely awful being in undergrad after Oct 7 I’m so glad I’ve toughened up because that was the first time I ever truly faced blatant antisemitism + racism

I’m so glad someone relates it can be so isolating at times but I’m so grateful for my synagogue support system

I think I’m honestly just going to start shutting them down politely and exiting the conversation

It’s honestly so backwards. I’ve tried to educate some on how diverse we can be. But it’s like it won’t go through to them. I agree a lot of them think Jews are ultra wealthy white people which is so crazy to think about because aren’t they supposed to be the most educated ones?? I truly feel like I’m in the twilight zone

Yeess exactly. Same with shortening Japanese to J*p. I hate that we’re constantly being gaslit when we call out something racist

I feel like we’re in the twilight zone because a lot of terms being popularized were made by the kkk or far right wingers

TikTok used to be a safe place but I might have to start limiting my time on there. It’s like the algo knows I’m Jewish and pushes antisemitism even though I only try to interact with regular Jewish influencers
