When I say people don't love Jews they just hate Nazis, I think I'm being misunderstood by gentiles. They ask, "Why should it matter if I love Jews?"But it does matter. Since if you loved Jews, you would listen when they said something concerned them. If you loved Jews, you might engage with Jewish culture and thought. If you did that, you might learn many of the assumptions you made about us were wrong.You might discover some of your assumptions about your society and your history are wrong.Your world would be rendered permanently richer but also more complicated. More subtle.It would be harder to say things like, "I read the Bible so I understand Judaism". It would be harder to confidently say lots of things.When you hate Nazis, your understanding uses their hateful language. Jews are defined by the lies spread about us over thousands of years. You know they are lies, but it's also all you know.So love Jews. Who knows what could happen after that

@raf The thread is very good but I would point out it sucks to be defined by the people who hate you (this is true of anyone generally not just Jews)...They (the haters... Nazis in this case) are kind of a bias source and accepting them at face value does a lot of damage in incalculable ways that could still cause harm so like why not just kick them to the curb and talk to the people (in this case Jews) yourself.We have a cheery disposition and are fun at parties... I promise 😜
