Honest question, but isn't that kinda disrespectful tp Judaism? They are now Jewish, they don't believe on the Jewish beliefs, are not the hat religious?
Can we PLEASE PLEASE stop treating judaism like it’s a special religion? I can mock christians all day, every day, why the different treatment for jews?
Probably something about millions of them being tortured and killed in concentration camps that makes mocking the Jewish people kinda taboo.
For the most part, they've been pretty chill about the whole thing, frankly.... But those cuts run deeeep. I'm not Jewish, and even I'm disgusted by how they were rounded up and slaughtered like cattle for no reason other than being who they are.
The biggest issue that I think you're going to face is that most people can't differentiate between the Jewish faith and the Jewish people (who may or may not believe in the Jewish faith).
Generally, I don't think that making fun of the faith is any more or less taboo than poking fun at Christians or Catholics or whatever.... But making fun of the Jewish people, is generally a no fly zone.
Since people lack the intelligence, awareness, and shits to give, in order to see that being Jewish and believing in the Jewish faith are separate. So if you make fun of one, you're making fun of both.
Edit: let me back up for a second to say: I'm just trying to explain the behaviour. I am neither Jewish, nor a fan of the Jewish people, nor do I have any strong feelings against them per-se. This message is only discussing how others tend to see the Jewish people/faith/whatever. It does not, in whole or in part, express how I feel about anything at all, ever, for any reason.
Fuck the taboo, let me say it more clearly ISRAEL IS A SUPREMACIST JEWISH STATE. I didn’t conflate judaism and zionism, I didn’t say I’m a “choosen person” by god, I don’t spit on other religions, I don’t promote stealing from non-jews, I don’t condone nor justify pedophilia or hide pedophiles, I don’t bribe and blackmail people, I didn’t help carrying out other genocides and lie about it.
And when i find people who do this and call them out, I need to remember concentration camps? Fuck you, Fuck israel, Fuck zionism and Fuck the jews. (Sue me)
I don’t believe a single fucking word these disgusting liars and professional gaslighter say. Judging by how they treat Palestinians and they lie about it, from now on, I will assume EVERYTHING they say is a lie. So before we go back to WWII let’s check the crimes these scums did first.
