I totally feel that and I hope you are finding fulfilling outlets while the vast majority of Jewish institutions drop the ball in the most disheartening of ways. Not to reveal too much about myself, but I am struggling with the same. If you are looking for some re-grounding in real Jewishness devoid of Zionism, you might want to check out Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro and his podcast if you haven't already (and share it with your friends who are going through their awakening). While he is solidly a lib, so take any politics of his not related to Zionism with a spoon of salt and/or a big waive of your hand (he doesn't really engage in political analysis outside of Zionism, it's just off the cuff stuff he says about capitalism and communism), he's sort of a virtual schul for understanding what Judaism and Jews are and what Zionism is (the opposite of Judaism - a radical, Evangelical strain of anti-semitism).

Or you can read the phonebook-length book he wrote on the subject (I have not read this book yet and sorry for the amazon link - it's his own link to the book) https://www.amazon.com/Empty-Wagon-Zionisms-Journey-Identity-ebook/dp/B08CVSBZF2/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1610490743&sr=8-1
Is CIA one word or three words?
First off, I saw this after your edit and I think it’s great how much thought you put into it.
Western Jews and Christians usually grow up in absolute Zionist saturation so even early into the process of their realization they still have a lot of conscious and subconscious barriers to taking that final mental leap. If this is their first real confrontation with the reality, it can take time to break through them. Hopefully by now they’ve entered the Norm Finkelstein crocodile tears phase.

This is so upsetting if you know Gaza’s history of the past, say 20 yrs. Even more so when you bring it up to your friend who’s ~~Jewish~~ a Zionist and you hear them repeat the propaganda lines of “but Israel must have the right to defend itself agains hAmAs”. So you ask “how many deaths will it be enough?”. Apparently we’re past 25k deaths with no stop in sight so who knows amarite. This is just heartbreaking.
Fixed it for you, please do better in the future
Pretty big talk for a 2 day old burner account. Somebody post the fedposting emoji.
Arguably saved democracy in Europe
Russel Crowe just can’t seem to catch a break
Ugh, this ~~sounds like~~ is a white supremacist talking about how mass violence is a sacred part of white "culture", and I'm the real bigot for not simply letting white people annihilate all life on earth for the lulz.~~___~~
I think the machine definitely thought it was doing a mask, but it stopped falling the shape of his face and is just a concave void. But like most AI images, the more you scrutinize it, the funnier it gets.
