Further into the article.

“I would say that the sentiment among community members is one of surprise and concern for what has been happening, but not fear,” Meghnagi told The Times of Israel.

Meghnagi also said the distinction between attacking Jews and attacking the Jewish state is ultimately irrelevant.

“Diaspora Jews must stand with Israel,” he said. “Some might not like the government, but Israel is not the government — Israel is the Land. People use this against us, but in the end, it’s just an excuse.”


I am viewed as a Black American women. Little analogy -

"You aren't black like 'that'."

Like what? Huh? People have said this to my face.

"Well, it's okay to support the global intifada because Americans who are Jewish aren't Jewish 'like that'."

I wish people would stop and think about what they are saying and HOW it is perceived. Then afterwards - dig deep to figure out why they think that is okay.

It's not okay. None of it is okay.
