'Unfortunately, when you have many Jewish people around the world justify everything Israel does (no matter how barbaric), others will associate the Jewish religion as being just as bad as the state of Israe.
The same happens regularly with Muslims, when protestors and bigots decry Muslims because they associate western Muslim with those bad Muslim countries in the world.'
Well, it's bigoted to do either. Islamophobia does not justify anti-Semitism, nor the other way around. We should oppose all bigotry.
And most Jews outside Israel are not preoccupied with defending Israel; like everyone else, they are mainly preoccupied with living their lives.
