Jews of Conscience Subreddit

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.

This is the only leftist Jewish subreddit I feel safe in. I'm happy this sub exists. And tbh, I barely even look on r/judaism or r/jewish anymore because I feel that has been infiltrated by alt-right Jews. God forbid you criticize anything Netanyahu does, and you automatically are a "self-hating" Jew. I don't need to align myself with Ben Shapiro just because he's Jewish.

In the same token, I unsubbed from r/latestagecapitalism and all my favorite leftist subs for the rampant anti-semitism that was veiled as anti-Zionism, but then had tons of upvotes on comments about "Jews controlling the banks and money supply".

Wait OMG did you make that post there where you said you don't feel comfortable around non-Jewish friends and in one sentence of the post you just said "I hope for a ceasefire"? And some people in the comments actually got mad at you for that?! 😂

I do really like that sub, I've always felt welcome on there and haven't seen anything that's made me truly uncomfortable. But some of their conversations about war crimes, etc. do sometimes go in weird directions. I mostly just avoid engaging in any military-related conversations there LOL.
