    Sure, right after I show you how I don’t have dual loyalties to America and Israel, right? I have to show people that one all the time.

    Of course, a lot of times, they don’t believe me anyway.

        I can find evidence outside of Israel

        Funny how you left out the whole Jewish diaspora part this time like you said before. Because you absolutely suggested that people like me are Israelis or even have some sort of opinion about Israel that should be weighted higher than any other non-Israeli.

        I want to make this absolutely clear to you:

        I am a Jew.
        I am not an Israeli.
        I have no affiliation to Israel.
        I have no Israeli relatives.
        I have never been and do not plan to go.
        I feel absolutely no allegiance or kinship or anything else to Israel and never have.
        I was born in Indiana.
        I have far more in common with a Palestinian-American born in Omaha than I do a Jewish Israeli born in Tel Aviv.

        Therefore: my stance on Israeli genocide is of equal weight to yours.

        So stop bringing up non-Israeli Jews as if they are of specific relevance to this issue.

            And I am telling you that I have no reason to give anything to someone who thinks about me and other non-Israeli Jews in such a bigoted way no matter how many times they ask.

            Sorry, you lost that when you decided I have dual loyalties.

                I will quote you again:

                All the Jewish led criticism I’ve found of Israels actions appears to be coming from the diaspora. I can’t find sources from within Israel calling the Israeli campaign a genocide or calling for it to stop.

                And I will tell you again: I am not an Israeli. I have no affiliation to Israel. Stop associating me with Israel. It’s bigoted. More to the point, it’s a lie.

                    Once again, I have no interest in backing up my claims to someone being bigoted against me. If someone else wishes to ask me, fine. You have revealed yourself with your comment… and if you wish to claim your comment is not bigoted, please explain my association to Israel.
