It's NOT happening "in the name of their religion"!!!
What is happening is that a god-awful state with a super-far-right government that, quite literally, includes ethnic supremacist elements CLAIMS that this is happening "in their name" by claiming for itself that it is acting "on behalf of all Jews"!
Please don't blame British [or Swedish, Brazilian, US-American, Chinese, ... even Israeli!!!] Jews for the crimes of the fascist Apartheid state when they haven't personally come out and said that they support it!
My own British government has been engaging in plenty of shit where I've just felt compelled to loudly say "yeah, no, I'm noping the fuck out of this shit!" - and every single time there were plenty more who fully agreed but just didn't feel as strongly a need to vocally and publicly oppose it!
And, please, please, please!!! This is not about British Jews but about people who endorse (or tacitly support - looking at you, Rishi Sunak & Keir Starmer!!!) the inexcusable atrocity that is Gaza, 2024.
Needless to say: anyone who personally endorses this - Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Atheist, or "other" - is "fair game"!
Please don't smear "British Jews" - many of them are as horrified as the rest of us!!! DO call out and go after people who support the horror!!! Relentlessly so!
Today, somewhere else in Europe [I happened to "be there" on business, know people and volunteered to participate], I LARPed as a Palestinian corpse. The "fake corpse" next to mine was a local Jewish woman. We met and bonded over "WTF, YOU do this on a business trip???" vs. "No, WTAF, YOU do this despite it costing you the community you you grew up in and call home???"
Stop shitting on British Jews, everyone!!!
The ones standing up and loudly objecting to what is happening in Gaza pay a heavy personal price! The ones staying silent are not complicit!
And ... as for those who do go "yay, Israel, gung-ho!" - I blame them, personally. But: that is on them, personally, not "British Jews"!!!
