I am banging my head against the wall.

A Boston principal wrote a letter apologizing to Muslim and Arab middle school kids—- because of a holocaust lesson, and the relation of it to antisemitism today. They felt “unseen” and “uncomfortable”.

So basically, a bunch of Arab and muslim kids (his OWN WORDS) got really annoyed about having to talk about antisemitism for a few minutes, went home and told their parents. Those parents got very upset that Jews were being portrayed in anything but an evil and oppressive light— and complained to that school. And this bitch of a principal capitulated.

It’s the worst fucking timeline.

WTH??!! UNBELIEVABLE!!

[b-eton-loofie]

lol ok. thought experiment.

explain holocaust to absolutely uninvolved eskimos and demand their compassion for jews. repeat yearly 5 times and also explain them that opt out or being neutral is not an option. being bored with their stories is neither. what do you expect?

So blessed to have alien tribes of sand people howling at each other.

Regardless of what I think about the historicity of the holocaust or its weaponization, it’s objectively INSANE to think that a history lesson about a specific event in a specific time involving a specific group of people is somehow “erasing” anyone else’s history to the point where they feel legitimately justified in bitching about it. Your people group was not involved in the majority of human history when it comes down to it, you can’t expect to be catered to at all times, this isn’t Netflix-style “representation” where you get to demand equal screen time at all times

I’d say exactly the same thing if entitled/overcoddled Jews complained that a lesson about the transatlantic slave trade didn’t focus enough on Jewish “victims” or if gays complained that lessons on the 30 Years’ War didn’t adequately include “persons of alternate sexualities”

They need to get the fuck over themselves, but at this point we can hardly even blame them anymore for it, since as a society we’ve done nothing but teach them that this behavior and victim mentality will be rewarded

What insane ass side of tumblr found this post. Because it feels like the Nazi side.

Ashkenazim are white. When I was in elementary school I was bullied by white kids who assumed I was Mexican. But Ashkenazim are white.

In high school theatre, I was cast as whatever vaguely foreign side characters were in the script, because my theatre teacher said I was “ethically ambiguous”. But Ashkenazim are white.

At my first job, a coworker asked me what country I came from, and refused to believe my ancestors were Ukrainian. She thought I was Māori. But Ashkenazim are white.

A few months after 9/11, my mother was stranded at the airport for five hours. My father was supposed to pick her up, and Homeland Security at the arrivals gate thought he looked Arab enough to detain. But Ashkenazim are white.

So if white supremacists ever attack your synagogue, don’t worry! They wouldn’t want to kill you. Ashkenazim are white, remember?

We’re at war in Iran because of you. You’ll get to kill as many Palestinians as you please. What are you even complaining about?

Yes. It is me. Donald trump.

Some facts:

1) Black Americans created jazz. 2) Jewish Americans created comic books. 3) These things are said to be the only original American art forms.

[thelordfool]

4) black Americans invented rock and roll.

[swanboulet]

5) Black AND Jewish Americans created musical theatre.

"I'm not sure why a Jewish senior citizen was lit on fire on a march requesting the return of Jewish hostages after an attempted genocide conducted by an Iranian proxy force. It could have been anything. Also this ONE JEW ORGANIZATION controls THE ENTIRE COUNTRY and is EVIL. I am a very good and principled person."

SCOTUS UPHOLDS BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP

this will make policies directed at ethnic cleansing and/or genocide slightly harder so long as the US government outside the POTUS believes in maintaining the facade of checks and balances.

...but it was 6‐3 decision.

What the absolutely fuck are you talking about

[disfiguredgrace]

remember when progressives used to condemn conspiracy theories about jews being behind 9/11 and jews running the banks and jewish lobbying groups controlling US politics and jews eating children and jews poisoning the wells and jews being the effigy of evil?

does anyone remember

[kosher-toasty]

If the only Jewish thing you could name in the past week is your bagel; if you understand that racists use "inner city" when they really mean Black but unironically carp about "AIPAC dark money" even when it rankles Jews; if you have the "antizionism isn't antisemitism" card at the ready for the next attack against a Jew or synagogue; then I'm not sorry - I don't trust your politics and I don't trust you, no matter how blue your ballot is. And when you complain in the future about how your Jewish acquaintances no longer talk to you, I'm giving you a mirror so you can see exactly who cashed in those tokens.

As a NYC Jew looking at the NYC primaries, I am disappointed.

I think I got halfway through an essay before I got sick of myself.

So. To sum up. The left has figured out that all they need to rile up their base is to be as anti-Israel as possible. That has now become their main stance. It was proven to be a winning strategy. That means it’s going to be implemented a lot more. Fuck all the other issues, fuck anything else going on in the world or with the candidate. We will now be electing the person who hates Israel the *mostest*.

I am DISAPPOINTED.

“it is antisemitic to automatically assume a jew is a zionist”

it is antisemitic to automatically assume that being a zionist — defined as the belief that jews have a right to self determination in their ancestral homeland — makes someone a bad nasty evil genocidal bloodthirsty killer actually

hope this helps

[ollie-duck]

“We left rhetoric about Jews poisoning wells in the Middle Ages!”

Modern rhetoric:

[bickbickbarnes]

They really don’t see the irony.

Somehow, making fun of surnames that were imposed on Jewish people by European—- while claiming that they are not antisemitic, is totally logical for them.



[bdalak]

saw someone write a post that hitler (orchestrated the holocaust) would have loved ben gvir (an iraqi jewish man) (iraq) (where the farhud happened) (the pogrom that happened in part because of nazi propaganda and ideology) (hitler was a nazi).

someone in the replies was like "even hitler (guy who carried out the holocaust) (the holocaust) (genocide which the global jewish population has yet to recover from in nearly a century) wasn't as on the nose about his antisemitsm as ben gvir is about his racism (with the example they gave being the noose pin) (small metal pin in support of a law that has yet to kill a single palestinian) (a law that will be shot down by the high court anyway) (no such high court existed to protect jews from the holocaust in nazi germany)."

if i can't get reparations for seeing this inane antisemitic bullshit on my feed i think it should be legal for me to murder these people for one day a year, purge-style

A reminder that Noah Wyle is a Zionist, has racial harassment allegations, and has admitted to mistreating his female co-stars in the past. If u genuinely still support him then ur just a spineless person

[bickbickbarnes]

Like this is the fourth post in the pit tag, and it’s full of bullshit like this.

1. He is a Zionist. He’s also pretty pro Palestine. He believes Israel should continue existing, and believes the Palestine, as a state, should continue existing. He’s never supported the right wing Israeli government. And he’s the only person, Jews are the only people, who you have this requirement of. Nobody’s asked Moafi her stance on the government of the countries She’s attached to. Nobody’s asked if the American actors think the USA should be destroyed. You wouldn’t even think about that. It’s only normal to do that to Jews.

2 He doesn’t have racist allegations, not in any actual sense. Every single actor who’s even slightly famous has bullshit anonymous allegations about literally everything. That’s intellectually dishonest as fuck. I heard you’re racist and antisemitic. There. You now have the same allegations.

3. Except that’s not what happened. He said that he was a stupid kid, and had a lot of stuff to work on. Which literally all men do. Every single man. The only difference is that he acknowledges it, and actually did some work. Which is what we WANT them to do. Not to pretend that they were perfect from birth. 

[wolverinecore]

Ahh yes a grown ass man was "just a kid" way to excuse his actions. He didnt apologize to the actress he harrassed the most. He also made a joke saying "r there any more women to yell at" on the set of the pitt.

Second this is his recent quote . Not only has he praised israeli hospitals recently, even though israel has bombed every standing hospital in gaza, has killed over 70k people and over 15k children, some of them babies in the hospitals, he has NOT acknowledged palestinian suffering at all.

Thirdly, aquating zionism with judaism is anti semitic, which is what hes essentially doing and trying to frame what im doing as that is weird af. I call out anyone that have hypocritical and bad political opinions, stop trying to twist this. Hes not publicly criticized the israeli government. In all of his recent interviews, hes not once acknowledged the storyline with the muslim nurse about some bombing.

Yall r genuinely so pathetic for celebrities its outstanding LOL

[bickbickbarnes]

1. ALL men have bias. All men. I’m not excusing his actions— I’m saying you have bo idea what his actions were. Just that he wasn’t perfect to his female coworkers by SELF ACKNOWLEDGING it. That is called GROWTH. None of his female coworkers have accused him of anything. This is, to the best of our knowledge, a guy who who looked at the sexism all men have and actually examined it with age.

2. What 😂😂 the quote doesn’t mention anything about Israeli hospitals. It talks about his distance from Judaism before the October 7th attacks, and how that has internal impact on him. My god, you people are deranged. You want us to apologize for a gigantic attack on Jewish people being impactful on Jewish people? Batshit insane take.

3. Don’t tell Jews what antisemitism is, especially when you fuck it up. I didn’t equate shit. But Zionism is INHERENTLY Jewish. It’s a Jewish concept made by Jews, about Jews, for Jews, that over 85 percent of Jews subscribe to.

He hasn’t publcially criticized ANY foriegn govt. he gets accused of Zionism because he doesn’t say Israel shouldn’t exist. That’s it. He’s never SUPPORTED the right wing govt. at all. His support for the existence of the country is mission, normal, and no issue. He’s publicly states he believes in a two state solution.

And you are a hypocrite. Again— when did the American actors face the same critique for….supporting the US existing? They don’t support the current govt, presumably. They support the country as much as Wyle does. When does Moafi get these questions? None of them do. Just the Jew.
