        It is disgusting that they removed your comments accusing you of being a jew hater when you only talked about Israel

            They think moderating public forms is going to solve the vitriol that goes on in private group chats. public opinion is getting pretty dangerous but the more you moderate it the more they go back to private spaces saying ‘see jews control the world’ and it just becomes a snowball. Pretty big snowball currently if ya ask me.

              The issue is the mods are playing into the Zionist playbook.

              One of the primary reasons Zionists (or even just Israel itself) are able to constantly evade valid criticism and accountability is because of Nazism, which they support. So long as the Nazis of old and new spam-fuck the public discourse with insane Jewish Question arguments and conspiracy theories, Zionists are able to pin every criticism of themselves as “antisemitic Nazi rhetoric”.

              It’s one of the main reasons Israel supports the far-right. Its one of the reasons Netanyahu supported and funded Hamas. A perpetual boogieman (albeit real violent groups) they are able to use for endless PR control.

              And thus here we are. I offer a valid criticism of Zionists, the mods think I’m Nazi posting when I’m obviously not, and the valid criticism gets removed. Israel has been serviced.

              And if I still need to make things painfully obvious to the mods

              Israel is not the Jewish people

              Zionism is not the ideology of all Jewish people

              Criticisms of these two concepts are not directed to the Jewish people

              Stop playing into the Zionist playbook

                I think 1 out of the hundreds of jews i’ve met in my day was an actual zionist. He coulda been a reddit mod too for all i know, but ya real odd ball guy, and this was over a decade ago. He got hit with that propaganda hard. The zionists lke the nazis really arnt shy about it LOL

      Israel does a thing where if you’re jewish they offer for you to come visit Israel, I believe paying for travel and stuff for you, as a way of getting you invested in Israel

      They do the same thing with politicians. Thats what the other replies are talking about. I’m not super knowledgeable on this so take what I’m saying with a grain of salt, just trying to make more clear what’s meant by the other replies

          I’m pretty sure it’s like a coming of age thing, so yeah I think it might be 🤷🏻‍♂️ Like I said, just trying to provide context for the answers others are giving, I cannot provide as helpful of an answer as I would like, I really dont know much about this practice

          I just thought the other replies didn’t make much sense without providing an explainer of what kind of practice they were actually characterizing

            You’re talking about birthright trips, which are organized by Chabad, a super Zionist org but not Israel itself. They’re free 10 day trips they give to college age students. It is not some Jewish “coming of age” thing or whatever weirdness you’re, I assume unintentionally, veering into some gross territory with.

              Thank you for providing more context!

              And I mean that does kinda sound like they target young adults who are coming of age? Maybe I’m using the term wrong. Am I understanding correctly that you get old enough and the org offers to fly you to Israel to get you invested in Zionism? Does coming of age mean a different or more specific thing?

                Sure, that makes sense, but the Jewish bar and bat mizvah ceremonies are literally cultural coming of age traditions, equivalent to a quincinera or confirmation. Thus the immediate ick reaction when you frame chabadniks doing birthright as “coming of age”.

                    You sound like an anti-semite. It would be like saying all christians have a coming of age rite where they go out and proselityze to all of the countries just because of the mormons.
