So sick of the casual antisemitism everywhere. “Chosen people” is not what you think it means.
God should have chosen a better group of people ngl

That is what a lot of evangelicals (in our government) literally think about the modern state of Israel and the Israeli government Eg Ted Cruz

It’s so stupid cause the death Christ made it where we are all the children of God if we accept him. So it’s literally the people in Israel who think they are deserving of the holy land

It’s not about being “special” or superior to anyone else. It’s about having to follow certain rules. It’s been made into some “Jewish supremacy” conspiracy where apparently all Jews think they are better than everyone else

I am thinking the OP was saying that God should have chosen a different group of people who would not go to war

Not to mention you can find reprehensible things in every religious text, that doesn’t mean that adherents literally believe them

This is generalizing Jews. Most Jews don’t live in Israel. I am an American jew, and I have never supported a single war in my lifetime

And also the OP is clearly not making some anti war statement about Israel based on their reply. They hate Jews.

and why do they have to follow certain rules? Oh right, because they were specially chosen by God. There’s no “jewish supremacy” conspiracy theory, it’s just factually true that they believe they’re fundamentally different than other ethnic groups

American Jews are pretty much in line with Democratic voters on Israel. I’ve shared stats on this before.

The vast majority support a 2 state solution and not the Israeli government which is about the centrist democrat position. You may not agree but Jews are literally in line with liberal voters. The people who are supportive of Israel are republican voters and Jews vote for democrats at ~75%

Doesn’t every religious or ethnic group believe they are different? What does this even mean?

Also as much as people here love defending things as not antisemitic the OP in the other thread straight up said they hate Jews so…. Maybe this was antisemitic after all

Most Jews are not Hasidic…. They treat other Jews badly too. Would you judge Muslims by the taliban?

This idea that Jews sit around talking about how special and better they are is so absurd to someone like me who has grown up in a reform Jewish community. The prevailing sentiment right now is damn it sucks being Jewish right now

I think the general idea isn’t Jews in general but more Jews who think that because they are Gods chosen people they should be bombing a national cause it is correct.

This is clearly referring to Jews in general. The “chosen people” is clearly short hand for Jews. The OP confirmed this in their reply.
