What an insane thing to say. I’m Jewish (non-religious). I’m strongly anti-zionist. Most Jewish people I know, especially young ones, do not support Israel. Israel is a problem, but the moment you extend that to religious and ethnic groups, regardless of overlap, you’re inviting hate and violence. It would be like blaming Mexican people for Mexican cartels, Arabs or Muslims for ISIS, or ethnic Russians for the actions of the Russian government.

The Israeli government is “the problem,” not Jewish people categorically. Totalitarian regimes around the world are “the problem,” not the ethnic or religious groups that live where they occupy.
