I only discovered my Jewish heritage a year ago and I'm not even allowed to mention or show pride in it, so why bother? All it has done is made me feel ashamed of myself and my family. I guess I was naive for being initially proud and happy about it, I didn't know having Jewish heritage was such a bad thing and something to be ashamed of. My experience/pride has been ruined and I feel embarrassed for even showing interest in this.
Jealous people will try to put you down. You're allowed to show pride in it. Real good pride fights back when a scumbag tries to attack it. There is nothing that makes me more proud and happy in the world, and though a million muslims on facebook tell me I'm trash and say death to me, even though a million missionary master manipulators try to tell me I'm going to hell for it, every neo-nazi makes up conspiracies over it and millions of black people claim they're the real Jew, I know I am, and I know what a priceless treasure it is, so it's like a lemonade stand telling you your diamond is not good for money there, or a dog barking at you behind a fence, who cares what they think. If you can't be proud of what's right, because of people that don't respect it, it won't be this issue, it'll be another and another until you realize that you're worth alot, not just something, but everything about you has value and makes you who you are, a human with G-d's soul breathed into you, that can change the world.
Furthermore, standing with Israel is guaranteed by the creator of the universe in a permanent blessing/curse to curse those that curse Israel, and bless those that bless Israel, and you'll see those rewards in this life and the world to come, if you're really sincere and only fight harder when people attack you for it.
I take down 10 trolls a day on all kinds of pages. Post what they said to you, I'll show you how to tear them apart and look good doing it, thank G-d my experience in debate and sales helps me.
Standing for what's right is never a bad thing, but you can be guaranteed that bad people will stand against you for it, and will use whatever weapon they have against you. For example, people with Irish heritage sometimes get made fun of as drunks, for being less classy than the English, or for being violent. I've yet to meet an Irishman who doesn't take those sort of insults very lightly, and they in no way make him ashamed of who he is, he'll only get more proud about it, and that is as it should be.
