I’m not saying anyone else needs to be ashamed of being Jewish, just that I did.

that was why I specified that it might help your shame to consider that those committing the genocide aren't actually part of your religion but are instead European pretenders who have assimilated into the Jewish population, and don't even act in a way which could be considered human.

but hey, you can associate yourself with them if you think you actually have anything in common other than a religious label.

We already have that in common, that's the thing. And they claim that it's the source of and justification for their evil. Something Caitlin said was very helpful: Israel is not Jewish; it's just a place where a lot of Jewish people happen to live.

Throughout history, Christians have also committed all kinds of atrocities. Perhaps more than any other religion. The religion is just an excuse for their heartless, cruel atrocities. Right now, it happens to be Judaism that is taking the atrocity spotlight. Perhaps they have learned to be so repugnant from others.

Yes, I never thought it was intrinsically a Jewish thing, just that it being part of Jewishness was enough to taint the identity for me.
