No, but they have been in the room with me many times in my life. Are you really unaware that people think Israeli = Jew and Jew = Christ killer?
Much like people think Muslim = terrorist.
Maybe you come from a privileged position where you do not regularly experience bigotry. Lucky you. I look as stereotypically Jewish as Woody Allen so I don't have that privilege.
Edit: Oh look, it literally just happened- https://lemmy.world/comment/12863076
Since you deleted your other comment...
I'll restate that you never said you were jewish. And it's irrelevant since most zionists in the usa are christian.
People think all kinds of things. Who's been calling you a christ killer?
I come from a privileged position where I know plenty of people from plenty of religions. I think everybody is generally cool except for the zionists (both jewish, christian and others) who are at a minimum complicit in genocide.
Many people look "stereotypically jewish" because it's a pseudo-scientific stereotype. Nobody is meaningfully oppressed in usa for looking like Woody Allen. You have extreme white privilege that you're apparently unaware of.
You asked Lemmy if you were complicit in genocide, so I asked you if you're complicit in genocide. You said no. I said thank you. How shocking that this would happen.
I didn't delete any comment. My reply to you is right there. Why are you lying?
(Edit: In fact, there are no deleted comments in my recent post history. They show up in post histories. I generally only delete comments when I reply to the wrong person.)
And I said in my very first post that people assume I'm responsible for the genocide in Gaza because of my ancestry. Which obviously means I'm Jewish.
Also, I never said I didn't have white privilege. You can have white privilege and also be the victim of bigotry and oppression because of your ethnicity. See also: Roma people, Irish Travelers.
And are you really not aware of the whole "Jews are Christ killers" bigotry? Because here, this should educate you:

Lucky you to not have anyone treat you like shit for killing their god.
Sorry I got the threads confused. I'm familiar with the "christ killer" thing but I haven't seen it on Lemmy apart from you linking to it (sus). A sad irony is that I imagine this theory is most popular among christian zionists.
More generally, if you're actually anti-zionist, then thanks for being a decent person regardless of your religion. I'm not going to waste any more energy arguing if we actually agree on what's important. Have a nice weekend.
I have never suggested that I have encountered it on Lemmy. Because I haven't.
