What's Jewish about a Jew if they are not religious or attached to the Jewish state or are proud of being Jewish in simply any meaningful way? It's just their blood. I believe the disappearing of Jewishness altogether is one of the most antisemitic things about the left: they deny our existence as a people. They call us white and privileged. To them, we are - especially now that being white is akin to being a white supremacist colonialist Nazi, and of course the Israelis are just white settlers, not children of refugees fleeing from the countries who wished them harm (and some American Jews of course). The left consistently demonizes Orthodox Jews - I should know, I am one. They ignore the reality that NOT ALL JEWS ARE ASHKENAZ. And Israel, of course - the Nazi nation. So it's clear that what they want is to disappear the Jewish identity altogether (when their minions aren't going around and killing us, beating us up, etc).
What makes me Jewish if you just look at me? I look white. Take away my modest orthodox garb, I look like a regular white girl. Except my grandmother's parents died from starvation in a Russian gulag, while her sister was killed by the Nazis in poland (the russian gulag was actually the escape route - that was the good part about WW2 for my grandmothers family). I come from a long line of people who sacrificed for their Judaism, for 2000 years while we prayed for Tzion, we sacrificed to remain distinct, we died for the sake of G-d to practice Judaism, and still do. But if I decided to throw it all away, could I not easily pass as non-Jewish? What makes me Jewish, apart for my blood, and everything I am and do?
Now, for an American Jew, who knows they are Jewish, but, as a good progressive, puts their politics before their Jewish identity, is probably successful, disdains of religion as most progressives do, is pro BDS - they are every progressives Jewish poster child. They'll come to all the events, have their voice amplified everywhere as they describe the horrors of their orthodox upbringing, or the horrors of having to undergo the trauma of being brought up zionist, say how they must put see themselves as White, and be aware of their privilege. This is what the left wants of Jews: to lose their identity completely. Can you imagine, the nerve, implying Jews are White in the way progressives see it, someone with privilege - the absolute gall of it. I've seen it so many times. It's so sick - and yet this caricature is so real. Jews have survived against all odds for 2000 years, but will disappear themselves for the lies of the left wing and the comforts of America. The Nazis didn't destroy us, but we'll destroy ourselves. Of course, no matter how much any one of us denies it - a Jew can never stop being a Jew, not even if he converts to any other religion, and fake progressive values will NEVER replace Judaism.
Anyways, I'll never believe their lies. I know who I am, and if I forget, the world reminds me.
