    The temple in the town where I grew up was firebombed when I was a kid back in the 80s. No one was injured, but I imagine Jews in Melbourne are pretty terrified right now.

    (And before you say that it’s their fault for supporting Israel, plenty of us do not and never have.)

      Honestly, I have encountered my fair share of people who mistake people for supporters of regimes, and I’m really getting sick of it, like people keep saying that all Jews are Zionists and vice versa, but there really isn’t any connection besides the extremely basic surfsce level info.
