I don’t get this community. Bc doesn’t our Jewish value of tikkun olam mean we should advocate for the rights of the most vulnerable aka the Palestinians. I’m confused by the lack of concern for their self determination and humanity

Tikun olam is not one of the mitzvot. It also never meant what you think it means. It’s been coopted by reconstructionism and the reform movement to put political activism over what we have been commanded to do by G-d. You don’t know Judaism, you know misguided performative activism.

Also the Palestinians are from the Seed of Israelites as well. If you believe in Judaism you also believe in the coming of Moshiach, and part of that is Kibbutz Galuyot, the ingathering of the exiles/lost tribes.

Proper tikun olam is following G-d’s mitzvos

Hate to break it to you but Seed of yisrael does not have a part in olam haba unless they fall into the category of righteous gentile.

Okay even if they got the technical details wrong, is it something crazy to say that G-d would want us to advocate for vulnerable groups? It’s like ur purposely dodging the point here
