I don't think Jews are an issue — I don't think any religion is an issue! I think what happens in Israel and Palestine hits close to home for people, because so many people have ties to the region: Whether they're Jewish, Christian, or Muslim.
I think opting to make this about religion is a massive mistake. It was Arab governments who helped Israel shoot down Iranian rockets the other week. Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt, in particular, have been working really hard to try and secure a deal to release the hostages — and disarm Hamas. You can also, absolutely, hate the actions of other governments: Whether it's Hamas, Fatah, Iran, etc.
But I think vilifying and demonizing a class of people here, whether they're Jewish or Muslim, is a real mistake.
