    People only read what they want to see. Which is why every comment here conveniently is skipping over the massive rise in hate crimes that Jews are facing.

      Yep, that’s sad, this reply literally got more upvotes then my original post It’s sad that people either continue to ignore the problem of antisemitism or blame Israel for it(And not antisemites)

        As a Jew I’m used to people finding excuses for making us “less-than”. We must at all times show everyone how we denounce civilian deaths because to everyone, we’re a singular monolith without capacity for original thought and opinion. Otherwise it’s assumed we’re monsters who support civilian casualties.

        But don’t talk about the extreme rise of hate crimes against Jews in Canada. Somehow, we deserve it.

        This place is no more progressive than Reddit.

          I know, I am Israeli Jew and don’t support or like civilians dying too, as well as majority of people I know.

          Sadly, this hate only proves how real horseshoe theory further more to me.
