The harassment of Jewish artists in American cities is not helping save Palestinian lives and you need to stop pretending otherwise.
The artist being Jewish is not a problem.
Being a Zionist is the problem.
Conflating those two things is as racist as assuming all Chinese people are hardcore Maoists.
Which specific Jews are not Zionists? Zionism is generally defined as the belief that Jews have a right to self government and a return to their ancestral homeland.
Most Jews, as well as most Americans and most everybody outside of terrorist shitholes and Russia agrees with the basic concepts of Zionism to some degree of another.
We can talk about getting a more left wing government in Israel and trying Netanyahu for warcrimes, but wanting Jews gone from their homeland is an absolute non starter.
I know plenty of antizionist Jewish people. Some of them would be comfortable living in what is now Israel as a homeland IF it wasn't a settler colonialist apartheid state and was some sort of pluralistic democratic society.
