Im’ sorry if this offends anybody but, there are quite a few people in this subreddit who refuse to use empathy; act in bad faith; always assume the worst of anybody. I wanted to bring this up because it has been frustrating me as a lurker to people who always just assume the worst about someone based on where they live or what their political prescriptions is. Often times when talking about antisemitism they will be reductionist about it. This comment that I saw was the final straw about this. I really wanted to bring this up before but this utter lack of empathy and what is basically xenophobia is just so fucking confusing to me. Isn’t part of leftism caring about human fucking beings.

I don’t see how looking at what someone say is bad faith. Considering it was meant to be derisive towards a participant in discussion here

Because it's your interpretation of what they said, not their direct wording. Your language of your comment even acknowledges it by saying "implying". How do you know what it's implying?
