When I went on birthright I visited Masada. A counselor sat us down atop the mountain and had an open group discussion about the “bravery” of the people who had died there.
The story of Masada, for those that don’t know, is how a splinter group of ultra religious Jews rebelled against the Romans.

The Sicarii zealots essentially pulled an Ammon Bundy Malheur national park on Masada while Israel was under Roman rule. They raided and slaughtered a few Jewish towns and then took refuge on the mountain. The Roman army responded by sending troops up the mountain to quell the rebellion

What he says about the rise of modern antisemitism --I have never heard this before and it is intriguing. But to me this idea that if people hijack your identity to do something evil then you get a responsibility--I am not sure. It means other people make you lose the freedom to just be 'a person'?

Not that most Jewish people are in this exact situation but the Iranian Jews are under bombardment now from Israel and the US whereas I am not Jewish but American --it's my government who is involved. Iranian Jews aren't involved just because some people far away came up with an ideology about them
