Apparently, being Jewish on a reality TV show is all it takes to spark a full-blown internet tantrum.

Kissing a Jew?? How could she!
The same hypocritical crowd loves to insist, “We’re not anti-Semitic, we’re just anti-Zionist.”
But the second a Jew exists publicly, let alone finds romance on reality TV, the mask slips.
It was never about “freeing Palestine.”
