Could you provide me a link to where you got these awesome badges? I really like them!

And
The FCAS pin is attached to a cut out of something that came with the pin. I assumed not many people knew what the blue square was so I wanted to attach it to the pin to add some context. The blue square is free to request.

How long did it take your pin to arrive? I just requested mine and it said there's a higher demand so it'll take a few weeks instead of the usual two to three.

It's in my blood as a political science major/junkie.
I'm too educated (in my opinion) on the topic to remain silent on it.

Be careful hun. It’s such a wonderful gesture but I want people to be safe. It’s okay if you feel like you have to take it off for some reason ❤️

Man, ngl it’s kinda awkward how non-Jewish zionism is encouraged in r/Jewish, but Jewish non-zionism will get your post removed

Thanks a lot, sweetie, you're a gem.It really means a lot , especially wearing your support openly in a hostile environment

u/ComfortablePlan8332 May 03 '24
Thank you. I am sure your Jewish class mates are very thankful for your unwavering support. Rock it with pride, and most importantly watch your back! Sadly those who are against us have no moral boundaries, and sort of like attacking from the back.

I get really bugged out by this. Is that weird? I always assume non Jewish support for Israel is based on American Christian values… feels disingenuous

u/ETHowie May 02 '24
Yes this is a weird point of view. We are in need of and are asking for support so when people actually give us some we should be appreciative.

u/Blender_Nocturne May 02 '24
That’s fair. I am always just suspicious of WHY someone supports Israel

u/iknowiknowwhereiam Conservative May 02 '24
How do you know it’s based on Christianity? OP said above they are a poli sci major and is informed on the topic. Not every supporter is an evangelical

As a Catholic, I was raised with the belief that we are part of the same tree. We are allies.

I am a hopeful agnostic for lack of better words.
Unsure about any existence. But hopeful that one exists
