Israeli Protesters Mass in Jerusalem to Call for Elections
The protesters demanded an end to the war and the release of hostages from Gaza, and also called for elections that many hoped would oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

These protesters are being antisemitic.

I have some questions
Mainly 2 big ones
Actually no, since they only want the return of the hostages. That's kosher as long as they don't call for the cessation of Israel's genocide, which they haven't.
That’s kosher
How about you don't equate Jews and Israelis what with many of us Jews being against Israeli imperialism and genocide?
Edit: Feel free to downvote me. Using terms like that implies just one thing to me: It doesn't matter how much I am against what Israel does, it doesn't matter how much I condemn them, I will always be forced to take partial blame for whatever they do because of the culture I was born into.
Does it matter that I was born and raised in Indiana? No. Does it matter that I've never set foot in Israel? No. Does it matter that I don't even have any close relatives in Israel? No. Does it matter that I can't even read the Hebrew alphabet anymore? No.
All that matters is Jew = Israeli and Israeli = Jew.
But sure, I'm making too big a deal out of it. Think about how Americans from South Asian cultures would feel if you regularly associated curry and Modi's government.
Also, would you use the term 'halal' to say something similar when a predominantly Muslim country does something bad? Because I've sure never heard it.
Okay I did not mean that. I guess the context could make it confusing, but I was using this meaning of kosher:
2: being proper, acceptable, or satisfactory
The fact that the topic is Israel is actually a coincidence.
Also, would you use the term 'halal' to say something similar when a predominantly Muslim country does something bad?
Actually as an Arab Muslim I could easily see halal being used in a similar context in an Arabic conversation, but that's neither here nor there.
That is fair, thank you.
I feel like I have seen you make this comment before. Possibly more than once. I am Hally to see you so committed to a joke that is both a) not yours, and b) not funny.
Hi Hally, I’m dad.
