Well you certainly have clearly articulated your ignorant prejudices and bigotries, but I still have yet to hear a reason why I, as a Jew, am responsible for the actions of Israel nor why my voice should matter to them just because I’m a Jew.

Your not responsible for their actions and I dont think I ever said that.

Look, I'm sorry I came at you so hard last night. I was drinking and I'm pissed off that there is a genocide going on that I feel like I can do fuck all about. Guess part of me wants to put it on other people since I feel helpless about it.

In retrospect saying we should publicly shame jews around the world for not going out of their way to scream publicly about a government that does not represent them - is stupid. I'm just frustrated and mad. I do think Israelis in the country should stand up to their government but you are right, Israelis and other jews are two very different groups of people.

I do think your voice probably carries more weight to at least some Israelis, but again, it's not your responsibility.

I applaud your willing to say you were wrong and that you were emotional and drunk. I still believe you were very wrong, but it's laudable to admit to that and recognize it.

I used to drink way too much, so I understand, trust me.
