Pledge of Allegiance

Assad killed 201,290 citizens. Not supporting that has nothing to do with anything else.

rule of thumb. it's ok to punch upwards and laterally in comedy,

given that Christianity is basically the default state religion in most developed countries, making fun of it is sort of punching upwards.

but unless you're part of the minority, it's likely you'll say some really stupid stuff if you make fun of said minority and it'll likely sound hateful and ignorant.

and to make it clear. those politicians are zionists, they are doing it to appease their AIPAC donor. they are not Jewish and do not support jews or their communities. look how the only loud antizionist politician in the US has the support of his Jewish constituents.

The real elephant in the room is Islam

Probably something about millions of them being tortured and killed in concentration camps that makes mocking the Jewish people kinda taboo.

For the most part, they've been pretty chill about the whole thing, frankly.... But those cuts run deeeep. I'm not Jewish, and even I'm disgusted by how they were rounded up and slaughtered like cattle for no reason other than being who they are.

The biggest issue that I think you're going to face is that most people can't differentiate between the Jewish faith and the Jewish people (who may or may not believe in the Jewish faith).

Generally, I don't think that making fun of the faith is any more or less taboo than poking fun at Christians or Catholics or whatever.... But making fun of the Jewish people, is generally a no fly zone.

Since people lack the intelligence, awareness, and shits to give, in order to see that being Jewish and believing in the Jewish faith are separate. So if you make fun of one, you're making fun of both.

Edit: let me back up for a second to say: I'm just trying to explain the behaviour. I am neither Jewish, nor a fan of the Jewish people, nor do I have any strong feelings against them per-se. This message is only discussing how others tend to see the Jewish people/faith/whatever. It does not, in whole or in part, express how I feel about anything at all, ever, for any reason.

I would say judaism should be seen as at least as special islam and christianity since it's an abrahamic religion and rarer than both. So if you're okay to say that neither of those are special, only then is it consistent to say that judaism is not special.

Trump swears by the bible but doesn't adhere to it, how is this any different?

*in a religion that is a direct precursor to their own

So like when women have to wear a hijab, in certain places, even if they're not of the same faith?

What's the difference, just curious.

The wall is believed to have been built by Herod the Great, not Solomon. The original Temple Mount from the Solomon era was more natural, smaller, and irregularly shaped. Herod filled it in, creating a large rectangular base that still exists, having survived the destruction of the Romans in 70 CE.

The entire Western Wall is 1,600 feet long, but only a small part of it is used for Jewish prayer. That small part came to be used because it faces the Jewish quarter in the old city, and that made it accessible to Jews.

From 1500s to 1839, the Ottomon empire absolutely prohibited non Muslims from entering onto the top of the rectangular base (now called the "Temple Mount").

After that time, and continuing to today, Jews are forbidden by the Chief Rabbinate to walk on the Temple Mount, lest they accidentally tread on the site of the holy of holies. Under Jewish custom, the location of the Solomon and Herod temple sites has been forgotten within Temple Mount area. But God's prohibition on entering that location is still in effect.

There is an interesting rock within the Dome of the Rock. Old Muslim writing says that rock was the Solomonic and Herodic holy of holies, and even that it was the site where Abraham bound Isaac. Judaism is more split on whether that rock is the holy of holies, whether it was a sacrificial altar in the temple period, or whether it has no significance whatsoever.
