    We love Jews but hate Israel. It’s not that hard to understand.

    (But then again they know this themselves too)

      Unfortunately Jews in Europe face a lot of backlash. A lot of it by the deliberate and constant equating of Judaism and Israel by Israeli lobby groups, politicians and classic antisemites. In Germany the government and some media outlets harass antizionist Jews.

      We dont need to love any people beyond loving them as our neighbors. Singling out people to “love them” over other people also is a form of discrimination and othering. In Germany there is the term “philosemites” coined for people who make that absurd show of “loving Jews” typically also being rabidly pro-Israel.

      We should just live in peace with people and enact specific protection against specific discrimination where necessary, but stop putting people on a pedestal.

      That being said if your relationship to all people is that of “loving them” then it should apply to everyone.

        You’re correct. I overuse the word love ofcourse.

        That being said if your relationship to all people is that of “loving them” then it should apply to everyone.

        And yes, this is true except for the fascist and imperialist regimes such as Israel and Russia.
