Anonymous asked: Hi! Could you please explain what you meant by this: "Blaming anti-semitic violence in Europe on the actions of Israel. I see this literally every single day on this site, and it’s very upsetting. Jews that live in the diaspora are not responsible for Israel’s actions, and especially should not be suffering at the hands of white people in Europe under the guise of anti-zionism." Sorry, I just don't quite understand what you mean, and would appreciate it if you'd clear it up for me. Thank you :)

I’m really not sure what is not clear about this. But let me try to clarify. Since Israel started bombing Gaza, there has been an influx of antisemitic violence all over Europe. Synagogues being firebombed, Jews being attacked or denied medical care, and it’s all done under the guise of “anti-zionist activism” by non-Palestinian white Europeans. These are basically the same people who have been oppressing Jews for centuries in Europe before Israel was even formed, but are now doing it more out in the open and calling it activism. I have seen people on tumblr say that this is all caused by Israel’s actions, where in reality it’s just an excuse for antisemitic Europeans to act out their bigotry and call themselves progressive. Jews in the diaspora have no control over the Israeli government or their actions, and are just going about their daily lives existing as Jews. Pro-Palestinian activism does not call for the punishment of diaspora Jews. This does not support the Palestinian cause, and in fact does the opposite, because Jews in Europe are now fleeing to Israel. I don’t know how much clearer of an explanation I can give you. If you’re still struggling with this concept, I suggest asking someone else who can articulate this thought better than I can.
