    I am an american Jew. I am not committing genocide (well, the US is committing several right now but I don’t have shit to do with it in fact I am protesting it as much as I can and my professional work in no way supports it) Fuck all the way off with that racist as fuck shit. I am not guilty of what some other Jewish (and plenty of non Jewish people) are doing any more than every arab is guilty of 9/11 or any other terrorism. People are not responsible for crimes of people who share a background with them.

      You being offended is nothing in comparison to what the Palestinian people are facing right now. Maybe get over it.

      Also. Free Palestine!

      Edit: Ok I can not see whatever comment was removed by moderators? I may be missing context if someone was suggesting the terrorist Israeli genocidal colonizing apartheid government represented all Jewish folks, which is absolutely and unequivocally not the case.

        While there are a few people here, at the very least, unconsciously conflating the two, I think the point kerrigan778 is pointing out is that writing this message only on kosher meals is clearly making an assumption that a Jewish person is pro- the current genocide in Gaza.

        Sure, it’s not as bad as genocide, most clearly, but it’s still a form of prejudice and can put a person at risk (we could reasonably justify morally putting something that would cause damage or sickness in the food of a genocider but, if you’re targeting ends up including people who aren’t in support of the genocide, you’re hurting those people – too –, now).

        And, given the history of hatred against Jewish people (and it’s uptick starting in 2016), I’d argue it’s something we should also be concerned about and stopping. I think that was their only point.
