As a Jew... Wow.
- Israel and loving Israel is not the same thing as Jews. Conflating the two is, in and of itself antisemitic because it denies political agency to Jews, and implies dual loyalties. There are Jews who do not support the Israeli government's policies because of various objections to the things they do, in both the US and Israel.
- It's a well-known phenomenon that evangelicals seek to get all of the Jews to go back to Israel in order to bring on the rapture. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/05/14/half-of-evangelicals-support-israel-because-they-believe-it-is-important-for-fulfilling-end-times-prophecy/ that is of course, in and of itself, antisemitic because it's part of a policy that seeks to displace Jews. Looking at the sorts of "prayers" he invokes at his rallies, it seems likely that he believes in that sort of rapture bullshit. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/doug-mastriano-donald-trump-christian-right-1234589455/

Jew here and can confirm the apartheid state of Israel does not represent me or what I stand for. Thank you for taking the time to explain it to people too.

You sir are -at best- a secular Jew. /s
Jenna Ellis once got invited to a bar mitzvah so obviously she's kind of a big deal when it comes to who is and is not Jewish enough.

Yeah I'm a non practicing Jewish atheist. And the really funny part is my BiL's wife was raise reformed, practices reformed, but for whatever reason pretends to be orthadox. I call her out on that shit all the time plus her support of Israeli war crimes in the gaza strip and west banks, also the fact that she wants to do a settler colonialism, and everyone including her husband tells her to fuck off with that shit.
Also none of that changes the fact that fascist literally want me dead. So there is that too.

When they start leaving notes on your windshield they don't ask how often you attend services.
This has happened in my old Texas neighborhood, creepy leaflets on all the Jewish homes. Which is scary that they know which homes are which.
That's the part Doug misses. How about "I condemn racism in all forms and here is my plan to fight racism in my administration" vs "you're not jewish enough to be jewish". Bunch of imbeciles. The worst kind of racism is when you think you're not racist.

Ive got a mezuzah on my door so I'm not exactly hiding the fact. This state is big on their bigotry and support for them. It really is disgusting.
