Why would anyone be annoyed? You're entitled to your opinion. Lots of us support Jewish people, also support Palestinians. We just want the conflict to stop and for them to peacefully coexist.

This.

SomeoneSomewheree · 10/10/2025 22:04

What's your AIBU?

The first post as always nails it😂.

Whenever anyone says ‘first post nails it’ then 99% of the time the first post has not. Glad you don’t care though, good to know.

There was a terrorist attack on a Jewish community ten days ago in our country.
As a community I’m sure they are feeling a bit raw and scared from that.

Maybe seeing some support from others might mean something to someone reading.

I find it strange people seem to be so prickly about it.

Why frame the narrative as supporting the community as a negative then in AIBU?

Surely a thread sending love and support to the community would be more appropriate rather than framing it as a "bot" or something to "annoy" people.

I also care deeply for the Jewish community, God knows they have been victims for at least a few millennium. Not a fan of genocide though even if it is Israel doing it!

Thank you @newusernamex1000 and @Rainsunrainsun

I do too @sunflower1022

Ok, I’ll bow out now.

This is most certainly not what I wanted.

Yes it was or you wouldn't have posted in AIBU.

Blarghism · 10/10/2025 21:11

Umm... Thanks. Can we sit down now?

Just on the question of bots and why people are sceptical, this should interest you (if you don’t want to click an unclear link, it’s footage from a few days ago of Bibi talking about fighting the war using the modern tools of warfare such as TikTok and X - not exactly bots, but if he’s taking time to talk to humans he’ll be authorizing the use of American dollars to pay for bots. For balance, he’s obviously not the only one doing it, they’re all at it. If it’s free, you’re the product) :

Op just wants attention. That’s the only reason I can think of for this post.

Agree. If @sunflower1022 was being genuine they would not have had a thread title that presented supporting the Jewish community as a negative.

MummytoE · 10/10/2025 19:43

Why so bitter and defensive

Nope.

Just a decent human being.

Not really. More shit stirrer.

MousseMousse · 10/10/2025 19:33

So do I.
I also stand with Gaza.

Rosscameasdoody · 10/10/2025 19:31

sunflower1022 · 10/10/2025 18:11

Thank you.

Another voice of reason.

So reasonable it was deleted.

sunflower1022 · 10/10/2025 18:00

If you can’t see it I can’t help you.

Nope. That’s a cop out. Put your money where your mouth is.

sunflower1022 · 10/10/2025 17:44

First two answers prove my point beautifully.

Cheers.

Interesting that you stopped short of the third one illustrating that supporting both isn’t incongruous. And well done for conflating the Jewish people with what the State of Israel is doing. We live in an area with a sizeable Jewish community and I can tell you unequivocally that being Jewish is by no means synonymous with supporting what Israel is doing in Gaza.

Noonk · 10/10/2025 19:24

sunflower1022 · 10/10/2025 18:59

But yet you’re here commenting.

Your response doesn't even make sense.I can comment if I want.

LooneyLiberalSpaceWaster · 10/10/2025 19:21

sunflower1022 · 10/10/2025 18:56

Nope.

Just a decent human being.

Are Palestinians human? as a decent human do you also stand with them?

I'm not obliged to comment, nope.

If I were to offer my opinion, I would say that all these unhelpful posts from Jewish allies is causing harm to the Jewish people by conflating being Jewish with support for Israel.

Its noticeable that when talking about this issue these allies refer to Jews and Palestinians. Palestinians are defined by nationhood, Jews by religion and by extention Israelis are referred to as Jews, and therefore Jews are Israeli, or at the very least alligned to Israel. Strange because, we are defining a nation by its majority religion, and another only by its relationship to place. A place we deny they should exist in. We dont refer to Palestinians as Muslims. Odd really when you consider that most "allies" are pro Israel and not just simply 'standing with the Jews'

OP if you are pro Israel please just straight up say it. You are entitled to do so, what you are not entitled to do is to drag every Jew into it by conflating being Jewish with supporting, living in or belonging by nationality to Israel.

It's not helpful. Your post is designed to pick a fight and rile people up.

You know what, I think I will do just that.

Thank you.

Yeah. Sure you will. 🙄
