    Honest question, but isn’t that kinda disrespectful tp Judaism? They are now Jewish, they don’t believe on the Jewish beliefs, are not the hat religious?

        rule of thumb. it’s ok to punch upwards and laterally in comedy,

        given that Christianity is basically the default state religion in most developed countries, making fun of it is sort of punching upwards.

        but unless you’re part of the minority, it’s likely you’ll say some really stupid stuff if you make fun of said minority and it’ll likely sound hateful and ignorant.

        and to make it clear. those politicians are zionists, they are doing it to appease their AIPAC donor. they are not Jewish and do not support jews or their communities. look how the only loud antizionist politician in the US has the support of his Jewish constituents.

          yes, the reason to be sensitive about Judaism is the robust history and present of oppression Jews have experienced. It’s unfortunate that Israel uses this as a basis of dismissing legitimate criticism of their crimes as anti-Semitism.

          For comparison, imagine a Black ethno-state committing genocide (e.g. like in Ethiopia) and then dismissing critics as merely racists.
