      You could have stopped with “white.”

      Yes good point, clearly my story was steeped in “white” privilege, rather than understanding and dissecting conflict and trauma.

      You know squid, here the thing. Whenever issues of Israel and the the palestinian genocide pop up, I see lots of hysterical posts like yours. Theres a clear pattern of attempting bury the lead in their own self interest, and push antisemitism to the fore to the exclusion of everything else. Exactly like you’re doing now. So are you commenting in good faith right now? I cant say for sure. But your last comment shows you minimize every other concern in order to yell and potentially bully. I’d care more about your words if you talked about doing the right thing and human rights – you know, the context of whats going on-- rather than this woe is me thing, nobody knows my sorrows shtick that comes across. I have no doubt you’ve experienced attacks based on your ethnicity, but many of us have-- many of us much more severe than yours. As an frequent OP and mod somewhere you could focus on leading forward toward everyones shared interests despite your experience. You’re not doing that. if you have any interest in being a better person, do better.

        Yes, well us Jews are known for being “hysterical” when faced with perfectly justifiable bigotry against us.

        I should be like “the good ones” and not speak up.

          Everything in the world is not about just you being jewish and that some people at some point called you names. As minority pain and lack of safety goes these days, your pain is laughably small and your continual exclusive focus on YOUR pain to the exclusion of all else, seemingly to hold some lofty perch of victimization, is pathetic.

          You want to hate injustice? then hate injustice and pull your head out of your rear about your own comparitively small pains. You want to be selfish, then continue mewling like a farm animal which only cares about its itchy butt, like you are now.

          Try being Palestinian, or Arab in the western world, or black. or a indigenous person of any kind-- australia, the most of US, lots of places. You arent in danger on a daily basis, much as you’d like to claim you constantly are. Other people actually are in danger, and are starving and suffering greivous harm as we speak. You want people to care about you, then care about them. Get some effing perspective.

            True. However, this thing that you just said one comment up sure looks like it’s about me:

            You know squid, here the thing. Whenever issues of Israel and the the palestinian genocide pop up, I see lots of hysterical posts like yours.

            Since this isn’t about me, when you said “hysterical posts like yours,” were you talking to a person standing behind me or what?

            Also, I was literally talking about being physically assaulted, not just called names. But you know what liars us Jews are.

              (Typical whiny Jew, am I right?)

              I should be like “the good ones” and not speak up.

              But you know what liars us Jews are.

              These are all your words. You always sign off with a racial slur couched as an accusation, and the only one using these slurs around here is you-- because they are not permitted here. I’m going to report this nonsense.

              Your pattern of conjuring up the worst slur against you and accusing other people of that is as odious as its use by others would be against you, and I’m tired of allowing it. Racial slurs and bigotry dont belong here, and I question whether you belong as an op or mod on lemmy if this is how you operate day to day.

                I know what my words were.

                And I think it’s hilarious that you are accusing me of using racial slurs against myself.

                Do you get similarly incensed when black people use the N-word?

                  If they go around accusing everyoine else of using it when the other people didnt, yes. Its be the same thing.
