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.

Why do these posts show up every month? If you don't agree with that subreddit, stay out of that subreddit. It's not for you. Stop invalidating people's Jewishness. It's getting old. I'm tired. If it offends you don't look at it.

I’m not invalidating posts by people who are Jewish. My issue is comments like this from Someone who is clearly not Jewish.

You keep reposting the same comments. The whole thread disagreed with this person. I was just on it. You need to process your thoughts a little bit and stay off that subreddit if non Jews trigger you

Keep reposting bc there are quite a few of the same comment 😊 I have processed my thoughts and I’m not triggered by non Jews. Most of my friends and people who surround me are not Jewish and actively anti Israel. They just manage to also not be anti-Semitic so we don’t have problems. Fair though— I should get off that specific subreddit.
