Antisemitism I think it’d be a cool comeback

90 Upvotes

So - I’m stuck working a not great job at the moment to pay the bills. I wore a hat for the first few weeks to scope it out before just walking around with a kippah.

😂FIRST DAY I decide that it’s a go, (LESS THAN 1 HOUR INTO ARRIVING)

The guy who trained me weeks prior, while I’m grabbing something says “so you are Jewish” He’d seen something I had, and asked me a week prior, and I just brushed it off since it’s not really something that matters. It’s not a topic in my mind.

Anyway he then goes onto start asking “So how do you feel about the war. What they’re doing to the Palestinians”. I just give the “it’s complicated“ (and it is)

But looking back, I’d make it a bit more fun. Instead of answering seriously, I’d just look around confused and grab at my back - I didn’t know my shirt said anything… does my shirt say ambassador?

But why I’m making this, is just to show that many people are going insane about a place they don’t know anything about. But I don’ accept that it’s about the place, as much as it is for the dislike of our people. I briefly point out a few facts, and fun fact - he didn’t even know about them… so again IT’S COMPLICATED. And perhaps people shouldn’t speak about something they don’t really care to understand.

Last thing😂 I saw a wedding ring on his hand, normal thing right? Well he’s now been like super ”friendly” with one of the ladies there.

My thought was “How about you worry about the conflict going on in your marriage before you a conflict between people people across the globe”

Venting 😤 Got offered a Jesus sticker

86 Upvotes

I went to Hobby Lobby today (there’s my problem), and when I went to check out, the cashier gave the people in front of me Jesus stickers. She went to give me one when I checked out, and I just told her I don’t need one. She hesitated for a second and I told her I’m Jewish. She responded with “Well, Jews love Jesus!” I just told her I don’t hate Jesus or anything, I just don’t need a sticker. It was an odd interaction, especially her saying that Jews love Jesus. My goodness. Hobby Lobby has the best yarn in my area, so I don’t have much of an option for quality yarn. I wish there was a Michael’s in town. Walmart yarn just stinks.
