Same exact conversation took place on r/Jewish over at Reddit. Same amount of support/appreciation.
It doesn’t feel right to me, either.
I’m reminded of Denmark and other places where everyone wore yellow stars when Jews were ordered to. That’s of course different in many ways, not being a sacred aspect of our religious observances, and being a solidarity that saved lives.
But maybe that’s where the thank-you Jews are coming from?
In any case, I agree with you as usual, Miao. But there’s a small part of me too that’s kind of desperately eager for any symbols of support at all right now.
