I [30F] was watching the superbowl with my (relatively new friend [33F]) and the stopjewishhate ad came up with the teenagers and the stat that 2 in 3 Jewish teenagers is subject to antisemitism.
My friend kind of…booed it? Said something like (and I’m paraphrasing) “I see what they’re trying to do antisemitism is not great but…” and I was like “no buts!” And she went on to make a comment about how we should not be supporting Zionists and that this ad is trying to get people to support Israel (again paraphrasing).
There were about 6 other Jewish people (7 including me) in the room that she didn’t know about and I felt obliged to call her out with the “no buts” comment but I’m not normally one who likes to address or argue about it in person since I tend to self doubt.
I know she and I do not have the same exact views on Palestine/Israel, but at the end I thought they came down to political disagreements and not antisemitism.
Am I reading too much into this? She tried to apologize after by just being really nice to me but I don’t know if I really want to be around her again.
Sorry if this is not the right place for this, but I could use the advice. |
