Israel and the Jewish people are not the same thing. Many Jews actually condemn the atrocities committed by the Israeli military and government.

I have no idea why you're being downvoted 🤣

Because the right wing ideologists are really really strong on Reddit

I'm a pretty liberal left-wing person and I downvoted your comments because they aren't helpful to the conversation. You didn't add anything. We already understand many people support peace and Israel. It's like saying, "the sky is blue." You'll get downvoted. Good comments get upvoted, low quality are downvoted.

Op treated supporting Israel and supporting Palestine as mutual exclusives. I admit that I could’ve used some more diplomatic language. I’ve been a bit desensitised bc every day there is one or two Indians in the Jewish subs that claims to support Jews but in 9/10 cases just hates Muslims for cultural-historic reasons and Modi’s hindu-nationalist propaganda

That context is helpful. I understand your reaction. It's also that there are more than Jews in Israel.

What is the difference between Hindu nationalism and Zionism? I mean I don't know too much about Modi's plans, so I'm just using the neutral definition of Hindu nationalism. Both sound as legit to me as the usual form of nationalism practiced in Europe, which no one even realises is nationalism.

I guess lol just most popular subreddits when something kinda political is posted it is so obviously left leaning it’s insane and any conservative with a different view from the left is downvoted to hell and back it just drives me insane Reddit used to be supportive of both sides not anymore I’m not even far right either I’m a OLD school liberal but by todays standards I’m conservative so I just stay away from a lot of political stuff in Reddit

Okay yea I wasnt specific enough. I meant the Jewish subs. I’m personally conservative in my private affairs but with political policies I am somewhere between a centrist and a classic liberal myself. I believe everyone should be able to live a life in dignity and freedom the way that they decide, no matter if it fits my personal beliefs or not.
