jewish fatigue

ashkenazi. i cant pick a good header. not a fan of elaborating and overexplaining

[asamatterofcourse]

i am interested in cultures and history overall, but more so when its concerning my heritage. willing to learn but also firm in my beliefs.

[asamatterofcourse]

the urge to say "because im a jew and i said so" instead of explaining for the thirtieth time why something obviously antisemitic is antisemitic

[meanjewish]

Reminder that the term Zio is a slur against Jews coined by former klan grand wizard David Duke. Imagine saying you're just anti-Zionist and calling people antisemitic slurs

[nerianasims]

That's one hell of a conspiracy theory you're believing, bud. Just out of curiosity, who's "they"?

[slendermans-lesbian-cousin]

[asamatterofcourse]

i love my little internet social bubble. i love interacting with other jews exclusively and feeling a community

[shadowweaver06]

Jewish folks do not owe you, an internet stranger, a discussion of their political beliefs nor their feelings on Zionism.

Let's say it louder for the folks in the back:

Jews DO NOT owe you an explanation of their views on their religious homeland or the complex geopolitics of a place they've continued to be tied to for more than 3000 years by culture, religion, and ethnicity.

We are in fact allowed to hold a variety of views. And can hold multiple truths to be true all at once.

Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk.

i like graphic and gross books. cows was perfect for me. i know its lacking in writing, but its amazing in the splatterpunk aspect. i thought tender is the flesh would be close, but it isnt :( nowhere near as graphic. anyway, while looking for more book suggestions, i was looking up book names, and didnt see that one of the books was related to ww2, by a polish jew. i started reading. i stopped reading. i was out of it for the last five hours, just drifting in and out of conscious thought, probably dissociation.

i dont look for horror to be scared, i just like gross and gory. but even if i wanted to be scared, nothing could scare me, except for books about shoah. i dont think i could ever get through one.

Synagogues are far more than sacred spaces. Just as Jewish identity is not solely religious but also deeply ethnic, our Temples serve as the communal heart that steadies us amid life’s turbulence. They are places where childcare coexists with book clubs, where stitch-and-bitch circles share space with educational programs of all kinds. They are vibrant hubs of connection, embraced by Jews of all backgrounds, religious, secular, and atheist alike.

As Jews, we alone have the right to determine how our synagogues are used, no one else. At a time when antisemitism is worse than anything I have seen in my lifetime, that includes hosting informational programs on making aliyah. To bar our entry while shouting about making us afraid only underscored precisely why so many Jews are now more interested in aliyah than ever before.

[strangesmallbard]

a fascinating number of people have really found themselves agreeing w/ nazi rhetoric on israel & zionism and said “maybe the nazis have a point after all!” instead of “Wait Fuck”

[strangesmallbard]

“even david duke the nazi agrees with us about israel!” okay now try thinking with your brain

[hazel2468]

Seems like a good time to remind people that the phrase "from the river to the sea" - while apparently popular on this hellsite, is basically a call for the total eradication of not just the Israeli state (and by that I don't mean the government, I mean EVERYTHING) but of every Jew in that area.

SO. If I see it on your blog? Bye. I do not trust you to have anything even remotely approaching a nuanced take to this fucking tragedy.

[spacelazarwolf]

leftists on tumblr have been so fucking bold the past few days like literally just blatantly calling for genocide:

like????? hello??????? half the world's population of jews lives in israel, whether you like it or not. calling for all israelis to "die brutally" is calling for jewish genocide. ironically, it would be about the same percentage of jews who were killed during the shoah. this isn't activism. this isn't helping palestinians. this is making things actively worse for them just so you can get your antisemitic reactionary rocks off.

[traycakes]

People will make posts saying "land back doesn't mean we will kill all the white people" when talking about the US then say genocide is necessary for Palestinians to return to their homes.

People will make posts calling out Israel's use of collective punishment then say all Israeli citizens should be punished for the sins of their government and far-right movement.

A lot of people have convinced themselves that everyone living in Israel is a rich (not true) Jew (not true) who moved there as an adult (modern Israel has existed for nearly a century lots of the people living there were born there) which means it's ok to wish them dead because they are oppressors actively stealing land.

The double standard is obvious.

[noparlpf]

Also, many of the people who did move there as adults were refugees from ethnic violence and expulsion from, not just the European diaspora, but also from all those Arab Muslim nations western leftist historical revisionists keep claiming would be happy to have peace with Israel if Israel would just stop defending itself from attacks funded by some of those nations.

[athingofvikings]

Just to give some hard numbers on @noparlpf's point. Oh, and just to really ram it home on the "they can go back where they came from!" line?

Yemen, to give one example, has passed laws making it legal to murder Jews.

Not only is the double standard obvious, but the intent is obvious, in that there are only two places where it is acceptable for Jews to exist.

Crushed under the boot as a subjugated minority, or in the grave as a moral lesson.

[jewishtransdyke]

ironically, it would be about the same percentage of jews who were killed during the shoah.

By raw numbers, it would be *more* Jews than were killed in the Shoah. Over 7 million Jews live in Israel.

These so-called "leftists" want to one-up Adolf Hitler.

[disfiguredgrace]

if you described the state of israel in a vacuum (using different names and words to describe jews, etc.) leftists would defend and openly admire it with unprecedented passion

[the-orion-scribe]

Let me try:

For thousands of years, this people endured exile under successive imperial powers that conquered their homeland. Wherever they fled, they faced persecution, expulsions, massacres, and systemic discrimination. These centuries of suffering culminated in the largest genocidal campaign ever directed against them, convincing many that no degree of assimilation would ever guarantee acceptance or safety. As such, a movement for self-determination emerged, seeking the re-establishment of a nation-state in their ancestral homeland.

The founders of this new state pledged that it would be inclusive and open to all its inhabitants. Yet many descendants of the settlers who had established themselves in the land opposed the return of this displaced people, pressuring the colonial authorities to restrict immigration and resettlement. Eventually, the last colonial power chose to withdraw despite repeated mediation efforts. Upon its departure, neighbouring states allied with these settlers in an attempt to destroy the newly declared nation-state. They failed.

Today, this democratic state remains largely secular. Some descendants of those settlers not only hold full citizenship, but also occupy prominent positions within government, law, academia, and public life. In the interest of regional stability and coexistence, the state has even continued to prioritise the religion of these settlers in the administration and access arrangements surrounding one of the region’s most sacred holy sites.

We don’t have to speculate, they did in fact do so

— The Arc of a Covenant: The United States, Israel, and the Fate of the Jewish People

[daughterofstories]

Not entirely true.

If they could recognize that Jews are indigenous to Eretz Yisroel and Arabs are descendants of colonizers, a lot of leftists would be pretty unhappy that Arab Israelis have equal rights.

[secular-jew]

For those who consume mostly Islamist propaganda.

[unsuspectingfish]

Every time I see someone say something like “this person wants Palestinians dead” anymore, they’re talking about A) someone who expressed support for Jewish people and/or spoke out against blatant anti-semitism amongst pro-Palestine groups, or B) a Jewish person.

[asamatterofcourse]

happy pride month to LGBT jews ^__^

oh, and, uh, LGBT goyim too, i guess

[asamatterofcourse]

i wish youd direct at least half the hate you have for zionist bloggers at actual fucking self identifying nazis posting on this platform

[asamatterofcourse]

as an ashkenazi jew, i have shrodinger's privilege. if im talking to a far-left palestine supporter, i have obvious and obnoxious white privilege. if im talking to a white supremacist, im subhuman scum and have nothing in common with the Great White Race.

[thetempestechoes]

FYI no matter what you think of Netanyahu, it's fucked up and antisemitic to use Hitler to describe him (including calling him that) and to compare him to Hitler. For fuck's sake
