Before 10/7 I usually kept my identity quiet. I would never tell a group of people that I was Jewish. Now I say it proudly with a smile on my face.

Long history, yes. How about extreme intelligence is a cause for hatred too? Others hate intelligent people.

ENVY is a major cause of Jew hate, when the field is level other people have a hard time competing against Jewish brilliance and industriousness.

This sparks envy, which leads to rage and then turns into a burning hatred to destroy what you could never be.

Wonderfully written & thought out essay Tali. I would describe myself as one of the many people who have been labeled as10/7Jews. Jewish hearts & souls have awakened. I think & hope the majority of us have decided we’re not going to take it anymore. We’re not going away. We are growing, so the world might as well get used to us being around. All we want is peace & respect, & for people to treat us how they wish to be treated.🦁

I really really needed to read what you wrote. It seems that all I hear from politicians in America, is that Israel has committed genocide, didn't feed people, etc... They just toss out and perpetuate a talking point and when its politicians I typically aline with, it cuts deep.

Thank you for this perspective. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Could it be that you are the Chosen people and pisses everyone off?

But “chosen” does not mean better than or preferred. As someone said, only half joking, “it’s like when your dad chooses you to do the dishes.” Don’t spread the canard that we think we’re superior.

I definitely don’t think that. I know what chosen means and your example is a good one. However I think at some basic level it pisses people off. Mohammad and all the Mohammad’s being one of them

I was busy doing genocide when I realized I could control the banks. Then it dawned on me, why not control the weather? Messed up there. Way too hot. Working on that.

I wonder why I wonder why.

I wish I understood:

Some people won't eat pig

Some people won't eat cow

I don't like eating either x
