“When I began the process of telling people that I was embarking on this Jewish journey, I lost a significant number of friends,”

he said.

“It was quite horrific actually.”

Benjamin F said he no longer felt safe in “progressive” circles and spaces, with his former friends calling him Jewish slurs and labelling him a supporter of genocide.

“It’s lonely,” he said.

    Ok, apologies 😆. It was late and I was tired. You are not a racist, you are just a bigot.

    And while you complain about threatening placards, the Zionist state actually continues to kill both Christian and Muslim civilian people during a supposed ceasefire (23 yesterday).

    History can be twisted to suit most arguments. Actual dead bodies do not lie. So far, the Zionist state is responsible for more deaths than ISIS, Hamas or Hezbollah put together. Yet our ‘Christian’ governments continue to back or remain silent about the slaughter, assassinations, and breach of ceasefires. Where and what is our Christian ideology?
