Your first comment was downvoted because “I’ve never heard of conservatives hating Jews” is similar to “I didn’t know the sky was blue”. Racism is one of the defining features of conservatism, and frequently being faced with racism is one of the defining parts of Jewish history; see also the Nazis.
Your second comment was downvoted because conflating opposition to Israel with antisemitism in order to accuse the left of antisemitism is a common right-wing tactic
I’m not conservative. Do people assume I’m conservative? Is that why people just mindlessly downvote without even caring how it’ll emotionally impact the recipient? People don’t have to cast a vote on every comment they see. Why is there such a horrible “Crucify him” instead of “Educate him” mindset? This is literally being no better than the other side.
Racism is one of the defining features of conservatism
I know, and Jews are considered white in all my circles across the political spectrum (I have both super-liberal and ultraconservative friends). That’s why I’ve been shocked by all this.
