      Don’t pull that crap.

      One of the bloody mods of this community is Jewish. Many users on the Fediverse are Jewish. Being Jewish does not mean you support Israel.

      Criticism of Israel is not critics of Judaism. Get that through your head.

        Uhuh

        What do you even mean by “support Israel”?

        There are almost no Jews anywhere in the world who would oppose the existence of the State of Israel. As I just pointed out, an overwhelming majority of British and American Jews see Israel as a central part of their Jewish identity, have visited, have relatives there, and feel an emotional connection to it.

        Naturei Karta are a tiny fringe minority. If you’re thinking they represent some sort of larger phenomenon you’re living in a bubble.

          Sounds like a problem with your instance.

          https://lemmy.world/c/jewish doesn’t even appear in your screenshot for starters, so it’s obvious you’re not seeing a full list of results.

          But more importantly, Jewish people are under no obligation to make a Lemmy community and post about their religion, just as any one else isn’t. An absence of such community does not reflect an absence of followers.

            Okay, cool, that’s good to know.

            What does /c/Jewish think about the idea of abolishing the State of Israel? Do they agree with you about antisemitism? Have you tried engaging with them about that?

            But more importantly, Jewish people are under no obligation to make a Lemmy community and post about their religion, just as any one else isn’t. An absence of such community does not reflect an absence of followers.

            It does in fact reflect an absence of followers. Jews do not feel welcome or safe among radical leftists, who tend to dominate Lemmy. They therefore stay away.

            Also, here’s a comparison:

            You don’t genuinely think that there’s no problem here? Most Jews don’t move from Reddit to Lemmy because Lemmy is dominated by left-wing people, and left-wing people are the current threat to Jews.

              The number of subscribers does not matter.

              This shows you do not access to have accurate information about Lemmy. As such any claims you wish to make are irrelevant.

              You have no information to add and as we’ve already discussed criticism of Israel is not criticism of Judaism, so I’ll be leaving now.

                I assume you’re going to go through the next few years very confused why Jews are scared of you.

                  Every Jewish person I know hates Israel.

                  Now go have your last say personal insult again.

                    You don’t know many Jewish people and the others have chosen not to interact with you.

                    My guess is that you said and did nothing for your Jewish neighbours and classmates and colleagues and friends on October 8th. I’m guessing you also said nothing when crowds gathered outside Sydney Opera House to chant “gas the Jews”.

                    Jews have an intuitive sense of who would help them if the Holocaust happened again. People who didn’t speak out in those days? They went on the “don’t rely on them to hide us in their basement” list.
