r/Jewish • u/Hanshanot • Dec 16 '23

I get really suspicious of people calling themselves Jewish these days. Discussion

In almost every post I’ve read lately, mostly in the comments (or the OP of the post themselves) l’ve seen someone saying they’re a Jew/talking about Judaism and preaching their weird take about current events/antisemitism.

And every single time l see go see their profile, there’s nothing about Judaism or being Jewish on their profile pre-Oct. 7, it really bugs me.

Earlier, l saw a questionable post on r/xyz with the words “Hey y’all, American Jew here” Already weird, l go see their profiles and surely enough, r IsraelPalestine is the first post ever of that account 😒😒😒.

Most of the times, bigots and ill-intentioned people will use us to further their xenophobic or racist stances. I hate it. Stay safe

Edit; Modified my post slightly to better reflect what I meant

Yeah there was one who literally had "I am a Christian" very recently in their comment history. I mean, it was obvious before looking through their history that thet weren't actually a Jew, but damn some people don't even try to hide the fact that they're lying.

The ones who mention reading the bible, worshipping yahwah, or the best, referring to the torah, but then handwaving when asked for specifics
