I think that's a thoughtful post.

You put yourself in Dave's shoes, but you have to truly put yourself in his shoes. Don't imagine yourself in his perspective. Imagine himself in his perspective. This is a guy who joked that certain women deserve to be raped. This is also a guy who just called ("satirically") for Greta Thunberg to be drone striked. By Dave's reasoning, both of those things arguably stoke more "unrest" than "F the Jews." Women are raped every day, and Western activists have been killed in Palestine before, to say nothing of dozens of Palestinians killed in suspicious circumstances every month.

Dave needs to take everything else that comes out of his mouth into account before he flies off the handle. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. This is why so many Jews are so dislikable. Perhaps deliberately (because they hold themselves as superior), they seem to have no self-awareness.

If you were to truly put yourself in Dave's shoes, you should imagine a scenario in which your Christian denomination was bulldozing homes, carpet bombing children, and to top it all off, enshrining themselves as a protected minority in other people's homelands while doing their level best to demolish those people's self-determination and sense of identity. In such a situation I would be ashamed as a Christian to try to destroy someone's life for letting off some steam about my group. "Pick the log out of your own eye before you pick the splinter out of your brother's eye" comes to mind. The Jews didn't like it when Jesus said that either. I wonder why.

I wouldn't say "F the Jews" for the reasons you outlined. Paul says praising and cursing should not come out of the same mouth.
