Jews are hated for remaining insular and for assimilating. For participating in leftist politics and rightist politics. For being white and being nonwhite. For communism and capitalism. For having a state and (in past) for being stateless. For being strong and for being weak.

No one says all Jews are good. I am Jewish and am opposed to circumcision. There is a growing movement of Jews opposed to it. Most circumcisions are not done by Jews. It is a cultural problem that is so ingrained we view it as normal in the west, regardless of religion.
-
Jews are murdered and you pick THIS moment to move to this topic. Your judgement on what causes hate is way off. And your ignoring the hate itself is sad if you are Jewish or a humanitarian.
-
I didn't move to this topic... I responded to Dirk Bontes talking about it. They used circumcision as a reason to demonize Jews, I argued against that, by pointing out that circumcision goes far beyond Jews and many Jews are not in favor of it.
-
Bontes moved to this topic, I explained why that is antisemitism. Then you jump onto the topic anyway. Instead it should have simply ended. The shift was wrong of him. Are you trying to defend Jews against anti-sem? It wasn't coming thru that way (in 280 char tweets).
-
I thought it was pretty clear I was disassociating criticism of circumcision from criticism of Jews, and pointing out that their criticism of circumcision is not something that it is valid to use as fodder against Jews.

You aren't being a saint here. And you are misquoting me. Where'd I say all Jews are saints. It's not relevant to the topic you started. You don't have to be superhuman perfect not to get murdered by bigotry. I don't know if you are a bigot or didn't realze your cmt was bigoted/1

But I'm done here. You are muted. /2
