    Jewish voices for peace… like the most famous activist group fighting against the war.

      I googled that, it has 32,000 members. So theres ~15,700,000 Jewish people, so 32,000 is one fifth of one percent of them. Thats what you call “many”. One fifth of one percent of anything is not many.

        You don’t seem to get that activists are usually a small portion of any population with a strong opinion. To put this another way, NYC has a very high jewish population and among them, Zohran, a mayor who has not been shy about what he thinks about Israeli war crimes, is more popular than Netanyahu, while you’re callously inferring dual loyalty. This trope is antisemitic and, while it has been used against other groups like Catholics as well, it is predominantly levied at Jews by far right racists and zionists who fantasize about coopting the entirity of a victimized minority, which they have not done and never will. By repeating them you’re playing their game and helping zionists. Zionists love antijewish racism because it fuels their tropes as cry bullies, so do better if you really hold the views you’re concern trolling over. Also fwiw, in the US most zionists are evangelicals. Maybe your Israeli company wasn’t the best tuning adjustment for how people outside the fascist bubble feel.
