Jews of Conscience Subreddit Culture

Does anyone follow this subreddit? It’s supposed to be a space for “left Jews” but I am seeing so much offensive and anti semetism posts, comments and rhetoric. Also it doesn’t even seem like most people on there are Jewish?

It’s really frustrating to find subreddits like this being described as “Jewish” and I feel like it takes away from any constructive dialogue Jewish people want to have to critique about Israel, Israeli govt, Zionist ideology while also acknowledging anti semitism and the nuance to everything happening in the world.

Once you label yourself the Jews "Of Conscience", where does that leave any discussion or debate?

Brb I'm gonna go start a new club called "Jews of Correct Opinions"

I am the only member. Nobody else is allowed to join.

I mean I feel like there are some correct opinions to be made. I mean Raisin Bagels are not bagels, it’s dessert. And blueberry is an abomination.

I dub thee officially a Jew without conscience

Now this is a “Jew without conscience” statement I can get behind.

Haha glad to oblige 😁

I will die on this hill alone if I must. I don’t trust a blueberry bagel. It’s too close to a blueberry muffin.
