#when I was studying early on my rabbi explained why and how conservatism got so popular in Israel
Text
Liberals will deadass be like "ah yes the three great evils: the British Empire, America, and Jews" and then wonder why Jews don't feel safe lol
#solitaretalk#this isn't an exaggeration#hell it's not even paraphrasing#hmmm I think about this a lot#when I was studying early on my rabbi explained why and how conservatism got so popular in Israel#esp when Jewish ppl are statistically more likely to be liberal#and he explained it well but honestly I'm embarrassed I didn't get it right away#most of the organizations spending money to help Jews are right wing evangelical ones#and yes their reasons are insane but does that matter to you when you grandma needs to flee her home?#when you have a lot of groups trying to kill you and one says 'what if we give you all the guns so you're not the ones getting murdered'#you can see why that would be tempting#and if you can't you've simply never been in enough danger to get it#us vs them is very easy when you've been the them for thousands of years worth of discrimination and genocide#idk man it's long and complicated but I'm so tired#I don't think the American left has ever had my interests in mind#and as they get increasingly violent towards Jews alongside increased violence from fascists#I feel like at that point you should stop wondering how it got here#and start realizing ur part of the problem
