Comment on Meta deletes Al Jazeera presenter’s profile after show criticising Israel

But you said Germans. That is part of my point. Jews are not Israelis. And you are equating Jews with being the same as a nation. This is exactly why I am forced to justify that I am not a bad person just because I’m a Jew.

There doesn’t need to be an equivalency between nationality and religion, it’s simple demographics. When you make your country an ethno-religous state the lines between both get blurred and that’s what Israel wants.

Would you agree more Germans than non-Germans supported the Holocaust outside of Germany? Would you agree more Jewish people than non-Jewish people support Zionism outside of Israel?

  Irrelevant. I should not have to defend myself just because I’m Jewish. I’m not an Israeli. I was not born an Israeli and I have never lived in Israel.
  
  And if someone asked an American whose ancestors came from Germany 2000 years ago whether or not they supported the Holocaust, that would also be wrong.
