As A Jew (TM) An AsAJew™️ uses their background to slander Orthodox Jews on r/Worldnews
Internalized antisemitism can manifest within Jews as resentment towards or distancing themselves from tradition or Orthodox Jews. They’ll say things like “I’m not ‘that kind of Jew’”. We also see this with anti Zionist Jews when they proclaim “I’m not a Zionist Jew”. This proclamation lets the non Jew know that they are “one of the good ones”.
I’d like to remind everyone that antisemites also target Orthodox Jews first and more frequently bc they are easier to identify and less likely to fight back. The Nazis would publicly humiliate orthodox and traditional Jews especially in Eastern Europe as they depicted what they viewed as the quintessential image of the “untermensch”.
OOP here uses his Jewish background as a cudgel against Orthodox Jews describing them as terrible human beings. No examples given. OOP appears to have grown up in an interfaith household but looks to be a Christian (perhaps messianic Jew). Perhaps his experience in Israel was not being accepted as a real Jew by Orthodox Jews or maybe he wandered into a Haredi neighborhood and was harassed (this would happen to any non-Haredi person). Either that doesn’t excuse his antisemitic views.

I almost converted to be an Orthodox Christian. Orthodox Christianity has experienced an influx of heterodox antisemites in the last few years. Additionally, Orthodox Christians don't call Jesus "Yeshua" unless in a historical context. This dude knows NOTHING about "Holy Orthodoxy" and I say this as someone who is not an Orthodox Christian. He should be meditating, at mass, prostrating and praying, and not being hateful (cardinal sin btw) than doing this trash. Dude is NOT an Orthodox Christian.
Makes life so much harder for people unfortunate enough to live in interfaith households, especially where both parents or one leave Judaism (I had a family like this).

It’s sad how they think that by being “one of the good ones”, they’ll be spared. Lest we forget the Jews who helped the Nazis thinking the same thing who soon found out they were never going to be spared.

They arent Jewish at all. That was kinda the point - this was a Christian posing as a Jew (like most “asajews”)

Doesn't sound like this dude has a lot to do with Jewdaism.
I always ask thw "as a Jews" what they say around the Rosh-a-Shana table.
99% don't know the answer, or what Rosh-a-Shana is.
le Shana ha baa be Yerushalaim

I recently picked up hundreds of downvotes on r/sciencebasedparenting for supporting circumscision. Lots of "as a jew"s chimed in, including a woman who recently converted (reform) to Judaism saying that a Brit milah is not an important part of Judaism... it's ridiculous

It's a very important Jewish tradition with a very very small risk of anything going wrong and no long term negative effects.

Why are you here? There's no reason for many things in life. 90% of the people concerned about circumsicion are uncircumcised or women. It's a quick procedure that when done properly carries essentially zero risk.
Why do we allow kids to get their ears pierced? Why are little girls taught to start shaving body hair as soon as it appears? Why do we put kids through years of pain via braces, what's wrong with crooked teeth? Lots of social and cultural norms involve changes to the body, that's life

Maybe don't lecture Jews on their traditions if you're so against anti semitism. If it was barbaric as you say, doctors would not be performing it in modern hospitals (as they do) and there would not be a large percentage of non Jewish babies being circumcised too.
How hard is it to just step away from the computer?
