@Geri@veganism.social The Jewish community is intertwined with the State of Israel. Many/most of us have family there. Some religious ritual items can only be made in Israel, too. And in 1948, Arab states unfortunately did not encourage their Jewish citizens to stay outside of a state they considered evil. Instead, they deported the Jews... to Israel.
To disavow Israel, even as an American Jew, is not an option.

@kolev@babka.social There are 1,000s of Jews in the parish state of Israel deeply ashamed and protesting about what their country has done. Yes? Polling by organizations like the Pew Research Centre and the Israel Democracy Institute indicates that roughly 1% to 3% of Jewish Israelis explicitly reject Zionism or identify as anti-Zionist. Out of Israel's Jewish population of approximately 7.2 million, this represents roughly 70,000 to 200,000 individuals You are conflating a wicked government with an ancient and beautiful religion.
