I did a bit of research on Judaism to reconcile with zionism/anti-semitism and all that, and I saw how different it is from zionism, and that zionism is actually more anti-semitic than being anti-zionist etc.
But imagine if you knew nothing about it, and then went on r/Jewish. You would be getting the WRONG impression for sure.
Looked against my better judgement, you weren't kidding. These ers are completely buying into the antisemitic lies equating the genocidal fascist state of Israel with Judaism as a whole.
It's a shame. Judaism actually has a lot of really cool attitudes and lessons to it, at least, some interpretations. It's such an old religion that it can't be described as a monoloth any more than Islam can. I think it's really important for the Left to hold onto this fact and defend our Jewish comrades who are bravely going against the grain in their communities.
Holy shit, that whole sub... that's just sad.

It’s likely that subreddit is astroturfed just like the rest of Reddit, if not harder
Probably.
