Libs and reactionaries will continue to use the implication of anti-semitism as a weapon against the left as it is one area they think they can show as the left being hypocritical (unfortunately there are some blurred lines and issues with actual anti-semites, though still a lot less than in chud or lib circles) . When Jewish people like yourself stand up against that narrative it makes their criticisms less effective so they will do everything they can to discredit you. They are happy to be anti-semitic and insult you and anyone else standing against their narrative as long as it lets them get a jab in at the left and it sucks that they have been allowed to get away with this.
Try not take any of it to heart, fuck those people, they don't get to decide who is and isn't a good Jewish person just because they like one particular side of the community.
I am so proud to be Jewish. I am not a nationalist of any sort. There’s no contradiction between these statements, but reactionary shitheads try constantly to manufacture one. I am so tired.
It's not hard to understand when you get a full grasp of the history of a very diverse and disparate people. In the same way this community loves to play up Islam, there's plenty to enjoy about the Jewish faith, the Jewish culture, and the Jewish people.

Sorry. I wasn't really sure where to put this. It's just kinda stunning to find this in the wild.
