I deleted my previous account (due to poor mental health) but I’m back.

Solidarity with the Jewish community.

Much love to you all.

I will always support you.

Ok.

Just so I can understand - what is your objection to people posting in support of Jewish people, or wearing a badge to show support?

Is there something you would prefer people to do instead? Or would you rather people do nothing?

Oh geez 🙄. How is this difficult for you to comprehend?

I don’t like performative actions. The examples I gave were not solely about Judaism, so don’t even start with the “you have an objection to people posting in support of Jewish people”

if you think wearing a pin is doing anything beyond being self serving your own image then crack on.

I know my own motivations better than you, thank you.

The point is you think it's performative, whereas others don't. You having an opinion is just that - an opinion. It's not a fact.

If you feel you doing it would be performative, then you're quite right to not do it. However, it's quite arrogant to assume this would be the case for others.

I also meant to say that I was trying to understand your motivation, rather than jump to a conclusion and assume I knew your motivations better than you (that would be arrogant, wouldn't it?). Not sure why you felt the need to defend and attack.

Oh lord. Do you have a “black lives matter” t-shirt too?

I'm half German. I support Jewish people.

I do not support genocide and I am pro Palestine as I hope ye all are too.

What does the second part of your post have to do with the first? Or the topic of the thread?

Why be so aggressive?

You, however, seem to have come on this thread to performatively declare that public support for Jews is performative and that Jews aren't being oppressed.

A hissy fit? Nice try, but I'm quite calm.

It's not me who's written posts so intemperately aggressive that they needed to be deleted.

It does make one wonder quite why somebody would invest so much time, energy and anger in doing that if they simply disagreed.
