The most vocal BDS and anti-BDS people are both Jewish. At this point, I'm afraid to even ask what is going on.

- some-guy 10y agoMy fiancé is Jewish and pro-BDS. Maybe I live in the leftist-Jewish bubble, but there is quite a bit of political divide in the Jewish community right now over Israel. Criticism of Israel for a long time in the Jewish community, and still to this day, is considered blasphemy. Questioning the idea of a Jewish state vs. a secular one is even worse. I'm agnostic but grew up Christian, but it's fascinating to me to see it all unfold...I have American friends who have joined the IDF growing up who were super pro-Israel so it's interesting to see this rift appearing.
- kelukelugames 10y agoI don't get it. I'm an immigrant and feel happy to have left the baggage behind. There is J street and Jewish Voice for Peace, but I don't know how popular they are.
