I’m Jewish. I’m not religious. I’ve studied a fair amount about Jewish, Abrahamic, and Judeo-Christian history, scripture, and culture. I am by no means an expert, but I’ve forgotten more about these religions than most people ever bother to learn.
Armed with this knowledge, I’m ready to make an assessment:
P!NK is a bad Jew.
Any pro-genocide Jew is a bad Jew.
Any Jew who calls people antisemitic for criticizing military actions is a bad Jew.
Any Jew who compares humans to animals and uses xenophobia to justify marginalization is a bad human.
Any Jew who uses comparisons to animals as justification for extermination is a bad person.
Any Jew who condemns children instead of reaching out to them is a bad person and is not paying attention.
Any Jew who celebrates the extermination of entire families, bystanders, and civilians needs to examine their entire life while literally eating a brick.
My family sure isn’t in that group and I’m so fucking pissed at them. We lost dozens of family members in the Holocaust, passed down our stories for, like, 2 generations, and then said “fuck it, the real problem was that we didn’t get to be the Nazis.”
I did as I began to editorialize a bit more, but in just examining “what does Judaism say makes a good Jew,” there are enough relatively black or white assessments that a good/bad value can be assigned. My opinions on whether or not someone is a good person is probably less hurtful to Nazionists than “your scriptures around which you’ve built your identity say that you’re doing it wrong, and anecdotally, God hates you.”

I hate that criticism of Israeli foreign or domestic policies has been equated with a criticism of judeusm and Jewish people as a whole.
There are definitely Jewish people in Israel who disagree with their governments actions. Same as every country.

Another one for the list:
Any jew who forgets that they’re not the only semitic pepple and cries antisemitism for themselves but not the Palestinians is a bad jew.
No one hates being told there’s more than one semitic peoples than semites. Gotta be God’s most special children.
Also:
I’m not calling you out for this typo, you just reminded me of “pepole” from the old Dot Dot Dot video, so I enjoyed another viewing and thought I’d share. Context if you’re not familiar with the source material being reviewed.
Lol my screen is cracked so I didn’t catch the typo and now I have to leave it in.
Am also irreligious Jew.
She is a bad person who only has allegiance to her own kind, national or racial/religious.
And class
Great point. Most likely above all else now.
True, but also swap ‘Jew’ for ‘person’
