In reguards to your post about people sneaking pork into jewish people's food, I'm not a religious person, I'm pretty openly agnostic, but I've been vegetarian since 2008 & my body can no longer process meat, people are weird about it & sometimes try to sneak meat in my food to show "how good it is" which causes my body to vomit immediatly reguardless if I knew the meat was in there or not. I have never had a friend stand up for me before quite like my sister's jewish friend did when this happened last time at a bbq, it really made me consider how often she too has to deal with this horrible breach of trust and violating action that I'm only dealing with half of the issue with. (Yes my trust is being ruined but my faith wasn't brought into it) So I try to be as vigilant as possible these days, it's awful seeing how often in happens.
A) I'm sorry that happens to you, people are truly rotten and pretty deeply not okay with other's lifestyles being different.
but B) I just kinda wanted to address like... the way the Kosher thing is worse? just since putting up that post I've heard stories of the Spanish Inquisition using pork as a "test" to see which former Jewish and Muslim "Conversos" were sincere and which were still secret Jews (or Muslims) someone related a harrowing story of a relative who died in a Nazi camp after a "game" of "Bacon or Bullet". So for Jews you have multiple generations of pork, being forced to eat pork, as an act of horrible violence, and even in living memory.
and someone laid out how in the case of the evangelicals in the original story, the conversion or destruction of all the world's Jews is a requirement for the return of their God. So this kind of trying to "trick Jews into sinning" is... an effort to BREAK them, part of an effort to destroy them, destroy who they are and make them into something else.
So like of course for you it is a violation of trust, it shows they do not respect you as a human being, etc but for a Jew on top of all of that, there comes the extra layer that these people want to destroy you, destroy your way of life, make you not you any more, and behind that all the history of what that can mean. So like can you ever feel safe around those people ever again in any context?

Boycott Israeli Dates this Ramadan, from Call 2 Action Now, 28/Feb/2024: (caption under images)
This Ramadan, don’t break your fast with an Israeli date. Stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Israel’s genocidal assault on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip has now killed tens of thousands. Palestinians, facing down Israel’s catastrophic violence, call on us to boycott Israeli products in solidarity with their struggle for freedom.
Follow this quick guide to boycotting Israeli dates:
• Always check the label when buying dates. Don’t buy dates that are produced or packaged in Israel or its West Bank settlements. If no country of origin can be found on the box, check the retailer’s website.
• One of Israel’s largest exporters is called Hadiklaim. It sells dates in supermarkets under these names: King Solomon, Jordan River and Jordan River Bio-Top, as well as under the labels of supermarket chains. Check the box carefully, if the dates were “exported by Hadiklaim” – don’t buy them.
• Avoid these companies: Mehadrin, MTex, Edom, Carmel Agrexco, and Arava
#checkthelabel is not enough. Israel has been caught labelling their dates as ‘produce of Palestine’. Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, M&S, Morrison, Aldi, Lidl and Asda package Israeli dates under their own labels!
Buy dates from Zaytoun, Alard, Yaffa, and Holy Land Date all support Palestinian Farmers. If you cannot get hold of these brands then buy dates from Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, UAE and Algeria.
