  Your evidence consists of one set of historical acts: actions of the Israeli government. (I am going to completely ignore your second point, because it's extremely vague and not really connected to any clear behaviors. And if the imbalance you refer to is true, that doesn't necessarily mean the victims of the holocaust got too much; it easily could mean the victims of Stalin got too little.)
  So, what we have here is a hasty generalization. The people in the Israeli government who did the things you think are bad were and are indeed Jews, but it's silly to act like that relatively tiny number of people fairly represents all Jews.
context: Yeah, most of us had nothing to do with any of the above and are just trying to live normal lives like the rest of you. Accepting Jewish people doesn't mean endorsing Israeli government policy or paying reparations, neither of which I support (nor do any of my Jewish friends). >
  
  It would be easier to not conflate the two if Israel wasn’t constantly using its jewishness as a shield against criticism. 
  i.e., “bds is antisemitic”. Not blaming you for that, but just one explanation that could explain how OP lost their way. >
  
  Surely the lie told by an aggressive nationalist state shouldn't be accepted? If North Korea said their Christianity were their excuse would that suddenly condemn all Christians by association? >
  
  So the obvious question is, what does any of that have to do with the average Jew today, who's neither part of the Israeli government nor pushing for reparations? >
  
  Where to start… 
  First of all, it’s generally not a great idea to hate an entire ethnicity/religion, even if you don’t agree with the state that represents them. Eg I hate the Chinese government. Even if we assume that the majority of Chinese citizens support the actions of their government, that doesn’t make it ok to hate all Chinese people. 
  Secondly, Zionists did not /make/ diaspora Jews settle in Palestine/Israel. To the extent that anyone made them move there, it was the countries that expelled them. 
  Finally, do you know any Jews? Like on a personal level? >
  
  Well school is where i got most of the information i put in this post, and i may remember badly, but i am sure school told me that the zionist movement made diaspora jews go back to palestine. Idk >
  
  Can I ask what country you grew up in? Unfortunately, some countries teach flat-out lies about the Jews in their schools. >
  
  Grew up in italy, so i think we can rule out the possibility of lies. It’s just a me problem i think. >
  
  Would you say you dislike a Jewish person who lives and grew up in America who has no ties to Israel and never talks about the holocaust? I ask because I'd say a good amount of Jewish people who live in America would fit this description. >
  
  I would say that i’m generalizing then, which I HATE to do but that didn’t cross my mind when i was making this post. >
  
  Maybe wonder why that is, and who is pushing that image of who Jewish people are and why they might want to do that. >
  
  
  Most of israel’s history is being territory hungry and kicking arabs out of palestine, since the diaspora of jews and the zionist movement made jews settle in lands near palestine, all they did is try to get as much land as possible with money and founding jewish cities. When palestine tries to get their message that they don’t want jews in their territory (1948 - Arab israeli war, 1967 - six day war) israel annihilates any attempt of resistance.
  
  This is like saying you hate ~~Arabs~~ Persians or Muslims because of Iran. First of all, Israel does not represent all Jews. Secondly, good luck finding a religion that didn't commit some sort of colonialism and oppression. That doesn't make what Israel is doing okay, but if you're going to hate Jews for this then you're going to hate like 80-90 percent of ethnic groups.

  I'm really fucking tired of people like you who make Israel synonymous with Jews. I blame people like Ted Cruz mostly for this because they've used that shit as an excuse to justify their alignment with white supremacists. "ooooh we're not antisemitic because we support giving missiles to Israel." You're not aligning with the people you think you are.
  
  A good number of us actually use that as a reason to fight against oppression and apartheid. Not sure what the reparations thing is about. If I ask for a pay raise and it's granted to me, and someone else asks for a pay raise and doesn't get it, why is that my fault? Blame the people who afford the reparations.
  I'm really fucking tired of people like you who make Israel synonymous with Jews.

"ooooh we're not antisemetic because we support giving missiles to Israel." You're not aligning with the people you think you are.
  We're not a monolith. This is extremely ignorant. >
  
  Although I am behind the point of your post, I feel it's important to clarify that Iranians in general are not Arab, they're Persian, a completely different ethnicity. Like their language is in the same family (Indo-European) as English and most other European languages along with most Northern Indian languages, as compared to Arabic and Hebrew's Semitic language family >
  
  Yeah fair enough. You're right. >
  
  
  They keep flaunting and using the holocaust 
  
  Flaunting. 
  You said people flaunt historical genocide. 
  What, exactly, would change your view? >
  
  Flaunting may not be the best word, i’m sorry, it’s late at night and i don’t think straight >
  
  You don’t like Israel and Zionists. That shouldn’t mean you don’t like Jews. I don’t like Russia and those who champion its expansionist policies. That doesn’t mean I don’t like Russians. 
  Separate the people, writ large, from the sub-groups within that large group of people, and keep your dislike to the viewpoints or actions of those sub-groups. 
  Some Jews are dope. They’re just people man. >
  
  Yes i do think i have a problem with separating people, while i do think it is cowardly to blame this on someone else, but school, where i got most of the information i put in this post, doesn’t distinguish these groups of people at all. >
  
  It would be very useful for everyone, I think, to give your context and history to the extent you feel comfortable providing it. What sort of school are you talking about? What part of the world are you in, and are there many Jews there? etc. >
  
  I don’t know how good my school is really, it’s just some random scientific highschool in italy, and the jewish population is 45000 (in italy) is what wikipedia tells me, but i don’t really see what that correlates to. >
  
  What specifically is your school teaching you? >
  
  It really doesn’t seem anything prejudiced, just badly informed if this thread is anything to go by. The school i go to doesn’t really value humanistic subjects (history and such) but they do still teach it to an extent. They focus more on scientific subjects (math, biology, chemistry and such) >
  
  Okay, but again: specifically what is your school teaching you? >
  
  I’m not really following. Are you talking about specifically the subject at hand? Because we passed that a long time ago. >
  
  Username checks out. >
  
  Yeah, i am pretty dumb >
  
  Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference. >
  
  so there's a cute little jewish child in front of you; she's 2 years old and can't even understand what you wrote.
  What do you hate about her, exactly? >
  
  I don’t think they’re really talking about individuals, I know, it’s hard to make that out. But, Israel constantly hides behind its jewishness whenever it receives criticism so as to confuse. And it worked a little too well on OP >
  
  And I think that's the important thing here. Many people haven't realized the difference, and that's extremely harmful to society.
  You can hate policies or actions of a country or whatever. But people need to differentiate that and the people. >
  
  Are you talking about Jews, or Israelis? >
  
  Are they not the same thing? I’m confused, i have always refered to israelis as jews, that’s my bad. >
  
  In general the word "Jew" has been used to describe both people of Israeli descent, but it also is used to describe those that follow the faith of Judaism. >
  
  You're gonna get gutted for such a simplistic statement as "I don't like Jews". That's clearly anti-Semitic, even though that may feed back into your narrative.
  First, one must make a clear distinction between people who have no choice where and to whom they are born, and the types of systems which allow them to grow up believing lies from people who have been sold extreme or uneducated views, and whether they have nailed their colours to the mast in respect of any particular ideology.
  Israel maintains a crushing military and economic grinding down of what is left of Palestine. The USA still treats the situation as if it was Arafat's time. It's criminal. No ifs, buts or maybes. >
  
  
  to ask for reparations. Stalin killed 14 million more and the reparations come out to about 20 billion USD. Meanwhile the holocaust reparations come to about 86 billion USD.
  
  Whats bad about this? Two groups were able to be compensated for bad things two different governments did, one group was able to negotiate for more, and that makes you hate them? >
  
  Your first point about colonalism/imperalism can be applied to … every group of people throughout history. Why do you hold jewish people as somehow uniquely ? bad ? Do you not like and support christians or muslims or buddhists etc. They do the same things and have done throughout their existance. >
  
  For that matter, i do not support any religion, i believe it is a messed up conception of morality >
  
  Israel and the holocaust are extremely recent in humanity's history of antisemitism.
  I don't think anyone is expected to look to the favourably, just not be a fucking hater and segregate anyone because of their religion.  If you know someone who actively supports Israel's war crimes, then of course have a go at them, but if the local barista is jewish, bringing up any of this is antisemitic and as bad as racism.
