      Becau$e.

      Disclaimer in case it’s necessary:Not meant to invoke an antisemitic trope, meant to point out a reality of American politics in general and Schumer in particular. Him being Jewish has nothing to do with his greed, but him being a corrupt politician does.

          My point exactly.

          Some ACTUAL antisemites believe or pretend to believe all sorts of tropes about “inherently greedy jews”, though, so felt the need to distance myself from that kind of nonsense just in case someone got the wrong idea 🤷

            Also nation states are not a people the Jewish people are not to blame just because they are Jewish. Only the actions of the few people in their government and the people that support them. Them being Jewish has nothing to do with it.
