Too Afraid To Ask

Depends on the context. Where are you referring to?

It is antisemitic to blame all jews for the actions of israel. Part of the resistance to the genocide should be that israel does not represent the jews of the world. If you defend israel's actions, it should be that position that ppl can blame you for, but no one should interrogate you about it if they simply hear you are jewish (or from a jewish background).

It should be a similar point for your russian background. Is your mom occupying ukraine rn? It's dumb to not see her or you as just another person born in a country led by idiots.

Some people will be stupid about it. They will give in to the propaganda that every jew supports israel and every russian supports the regime in russia. It's a sad thing, but in most places, it should be rare for you to have a confrontation with someone. There will always be good people, who you should build relationships with, who understand that youre just another person navigating a complex world.

people ask me all the time my families background/heritage... my answer is 'like i give a fuck'

cuz i dont.

Misguided as it may be in a different way, some might find it good that you are "reformed". If you get grief from people, perhaps it is worth mentioning.

I imagine there's some small percentage of people who will. Assholes are a fact of life. Realistically though, most people won't care. I've got family that strongly support Trump and everything he's doing, but they work with Mexicans and have no problem with individual immigrants. It's a weird but common mental contortion, blaming a group of people for something, but carving out exceptions for all the individuals you know. You'll probably be ok.
