I want you guys to think about something. Who are not Jewish. Some of us Jewish believe in the right to self determine. Some of us have a spiritual home in Israel. Some of us Jewish don’t feel that way about Israel. The way you guys are throwing Zionism around actually
Hurts. We may not agree with the government’s ways with doing things. But. We are allowed to like, kvetch, and even love Israel. But also love the Palestinians. It is our choice. All I ask is not to keep on about it. We want to fit in. But can’t because of Zionism this. Israel.
That. You killed Palestinians. You created apartheid. We don’t scream about Rome. Or Trump and evangelical Christians. So. Support of Palestinians does not need to mean Antisemitism. Or Israel is horrible. To some of us. It isn’t. We feel shunned. Ok?
I have Palestinian friends. Israeli friends. I have friends that are Zionist. Liberal Zionist. And Anti Zionist. If we can all respect each other. Please respect us too.
We exist. We matter.
This was the hardest tweet I have ever written. Afraid of being judged. Attacked. Insulted. If any other Jewish see this tweet. Chime in please. I feel alone.
