13. This is, objectively, bullshit.

If you aren't hearing and reading the condemnation of Israel's actions coming from many Jewish people, it's because you haven't bothered to look and listen.

And who are you to declare that there's been "bupkis from most American Jews or for that matter, Jews worldwide." You don't have any facts to defend that.

And by the way are you even aware of how few Jews there are worldwide, especially if you look beyond the U.S. and Israel? Damn few.

Look it up and learn something.
