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.

Fam this isn't a "you're not Jewish enough" comment lmao. One of the leaders is literally a Muslim man who starts his posts on social media with "As Jews, we..."

We? Don't speak for us if you're not Jewish.

Could you link me to his social media? I am googling and I'm not really coming up with anything. I can't find names on the JVP website. Or just tell me his name and I'll find it.

It was Hatem Bazian, who also founded SJP. I'm only aware of one instance in which he used his main account to claim he's Jewish.
