there’s seemingly a lot jewish people who are zionists and/or support israel… it’s fucked.
B Empanada seems to not understand (or i’m misinterpreting him) that this demonstrates more about the Israeli PR machine than anything about being jewish.
he tends to take this point-of-view about all western citizens too. just edge lord bullshit “oh you are from the US okay you drench yourself daily in Iraqi blood” type bullshit.

But he is objectively correct, though. You do. Your lifestyle, as bad as it is, is only possible with the suffering of the entire global south. The US and western Europe will need to be entirely destroyed for the liberation of the global south to be possible, there is simply no debating this.
You are misinterpreting him. All takes on relating Zionism to Jewishness, from all people, are bad. His point is that it does not matter. If you are an anti-Zionist Jew, cool, you don’t deserve extra praise. If you are a Zionist Jew, that’s awful, you deserve just as much hate as any other genocide supporter.

I disagree with this comparison because it’s completely reasonable to expect someone to be ashamed of being American or of being Israeli, but not reasonable at all to expect someone to be ashamed of being Jewish.
There’s a qualitative difference between a nationality and an ethnicity/cultural group that predates any existing state.
My main problem with BE is that he’s just wrong a lot of the time, and actively and materially harmful to other people who are much better leftists than him.
