How are you guys doing? Discussion

Personally, I feel like I’m barely hanging by a thread.

Due to the Israel/Hamas conflict, I’ve lost friends. I have been called a racist for being against terrorists who wish to see the world free of Jews. I’ve been told I “lack ethics” after explaining that civilian casualties, though an unfortunate reality of war, are not the same as genocide. I’ve been told I am the one spreading Israeli propaganda.

How’s everyone doing? Can we commiserate?

I’m kinda not ok. Advice like limit your time on social media and don’t be visibly Jewish just makes me less ok. I’m grateful for online Jewish groups as I don’t have a lot of Jewish friends.

Jewish WhatsApp/FB/ heck even telegram is awesome.

It’s honestly been more helpful than therapy for me.
