The whole thread rages pretty hard from the OP lmao:

I am f*cking tired of constantly needing to check if everyone I interact with hates Jews

I'm Jewish, Zionist, live in NYC, but not very active in Jewish circles (mostly bc I have social anxiety, imposter syndrome, and yes, I should find a therapist)

I am constantly vetting every event I attend, and every date I may potentially go on. I am tired of being surprised by someone's IG post about the "brave students" in the encampments, after they had the gall to come to my Hannukah party. I am tired of checking with my newly engaged friend about the guest list of their wedding. I am tired of wanting to go on a camping trip with my friends, but since I have not personally asked every single person about their stance on Israel I don't know if it will be a safe space. I am tired of watching in apprehension when people look at my Magen David. I am tired of being excited about a friend coming to visit, and wondering if I should ask them about their views now, or wait till I see them in person. I am tired of assuming everyone is a latent anti-Semite who is just hiding their views from me. I am tired of needing to explain why Jews have a right to exist and a right to a homeland.

Edit:

Thank you everyone for your posts! It is helpful (but depressing) to hear that other people are struggling the same way. I don't think my non-Jewish friends understand how I am feeling at all.

and to the person that thinks I have ADHD, and to the pathetic, repetitive, anti-Semitic incel from the UK who is obsessed with BeckiJones and slipped into my DMs - go f*ck yourself.

A whole generation of nerds that didn't get bullied enough

    I am tired of assuming everyone is a latent anti-Semite who is just hiding their views from me.

    Being a Zionist is so fucking easy. It’s the default stance of the country. How the hell do you develop imposter syndrome for this lol. Maybe they suggested the genocide should be halted until they can get more weapons and everyone thinks they’re hamas

    With that being said. Good. zionists deserve to be paranoid and scared and depressed and all the neuroses and mental illnesses. They deserve it. I hope zionists timidly reveal their views to me so I can traumatize them by simply staring in silence like saul-stare
