Jewish New Yorkers stand in solidarity with Gaza.
I wish someone had the balls to say this in my community.
I would, but I don’t really want to put myself in the spotlight like that. I’m technically not even Jewish yet, I’m still a conversion student. I feel like if I said something, I’d just be pushing myself out of a group I’m already kind of on the edge of.
But there are others, like the rabbi, who are far more influential than me. Yet I feel like he kinda talks like a politician. Like he’ll play the middle ground and avoid saying something that would actually offend people. I guess he needs to make sure the board renews his contract.
But idk
I have a hard time taking it seriously when everyone’s upset about what Hamas is doing, while being completely silent on how Israel, the government which controls this land, created the situation for the war to arise.

The idea of Jewish chosen-ness is that Jews are supposed to be held to a higher moral standard by god. It doesn’t mean that Jews are better than non Jews.
Yet I feel like that’s anything but the case in matters surrounding Israel.
I genuinely feel like israel is a fraudulent Jewish state. if israel can’t abide by Jewish morals, it has no identify itself as a Jewish state.
