THIS. THIS THIS THIS

[edithsweetith]

banging my head into a wall you guys know that antisemites have never gone "i hate jews bc they're jews" right. there's always been a reason.

"the jews killed christ" "the jews are responsible for the plauge" "the jews are kidnapping your children" "the jews are stealing your money" to "the jews are white supremacists" "the jews are land-stealing colonizers" "the jews are bombing children"

antisemitism has always been made to seem logical. you are not immune to propaganda.

[paddysnuffles]

♪ Some of these things are not like the others ♪

The Jews killed Christ -- Unproven and even if so not modern Jews' fault

Jews are kidnapping your children -- Patently untrue

The Jews are stealing your money -- Again, untrue

The Jews are white supremacists -- Not all Jews, but Israel as a country has sided with white supremacists in the past (e.g. they supported Apartheid in South Africa)

The Jews are land-stealing colonizers -- Not outside of Israel, but in Israel? Yes, a majority are. People were kicked out of their homes to make room for newly arrived Jews. Jews that already lived there are not land-stealing colonizers, but the ones that arrived after the formation of Israel are.

The Jews are bombing children -- Not all Jews, but Israel IS bombing children. That's a fact. Israel has committed war crimes. That's also a fact.

Israel does not equal all Jews and zionism is not inherent to Judaism. In fact, most zionists are Christians who want Israel to exist so the end of the world can happen (because according to their theology Israel must exist for Doomsday to come)

[edithsweetith]

thank you so much for proving my fucking point!

[darkladynyara]

I love how they act like "oh but *some* Jews are doing the bad thing" is somehow different from every other form of bigotry that does this. "I don't hate black people for being black. I hate their ~culture~." Same fucking thing. If someone says "I hate Arabs because they're terrorists. I hate Arabs because they're religious fanatics." no amount of pointing to the atrocious behavior of various Arab states would make that statement not racist.

Just lost a few braincells reading an nyt article about gen z "treat culture" and I can't even fathom that this is a thing. We're living in a dystopian hellscape where someone spending $5 a week on a cookie is considered a wasteful brat because they should have just gone for a nice free walk instead and saved the $250 a year that roughly equals four days' rent. That's why these ungrateful kids can't buy a house, naturally.

I am ALL for free treats, like hiking or reading in the park. But at some point you can't budget your way out of poverty, and you will literally go mad if you deny yourself basic pleasures that are literally all around you. They even lamented that little treats could snowball into doing something absolutely unforgivable like learning how to play the guitar or buying concert tickets.

At what point do we just start saying out loud that living an enjoyable and fulfilling life is now only acceptable at a 100k+ salary, and if you're one of the millions of people unlucky enough not to be in that category you should just eat dirt and be grateful?

[delistylehardcore]

it rly is weird how theres this culture in progressive spaces where like you can be as mean, as CRUEL even, as you want as long as youre not being explicitly bigoted towards any marginalized group of people and still be seen as a really good person with good morals who nobody is allowed to have beef with bc theyve never done anything racist or homophobic

[definitelynotsatan]

politically correct behavior devoid of compassion for humanity as a whole is a callous performance and nothing more

[transcyberism]

this is why there’s a huge debate over whether certain groups are “really” oppressed btw, or whether that oppression is unique to them vs just a manifestation of another type of oppression also experienced by other groups. the goal with that whole line of debate isn’t to actually understand power dynamics and the structure of hegemony, it’s to be able to shit on people you dislike guilt free.

[brainscrems]

And that’s a big part of why antisemitism is so normalized on the left. Because there is a wide perception of Jews as privileged white people, and a view of Jewishness as a white identity. (As opposed to, say, queerness which is viewed as an aspect of identity which can exist independent of race.) They use the hyperprivilege trope and utilize it via the association of Jewishness with whiteness, to make Jews into a target for which their cruelty is, “punching up.” When you make cruelty acceptable all you need to make your bigotry “acceptable” is justification.

[jewish-converting-dinosaur]

watching people on Tik Tok and Tumblr call Fantastic Four "zionist propaganda" because they had the AUDACITY to show The Thing (a canon jewish man) in a synagogue like:

[thedeepbreathbeforetheplunge]

this is not an exaggeration, by the way.

Ben Grimm, a Jewish superhero, talks to some Jewish school children outside a synagogue, including their Jewish teacher. The bit with the black and white cookie probably went over a lot of people's heads, and later he goes into the synagogue to see the Jewish teacher and there's a short scene of him inside said synagogue.

That's it. That's literally it. That's more than any canonically Jewish comics character has ever gotten on the big screen and even this *little* (but historic) bit is "Zionist propaganda" to antisemites.

“We” “execution” “no country would want them”.......... “Thoughts?” 😇

[angerydome]

I don’t know how someone can say this and not realize they’re the bad guy, here. Or bare minimum, by far the least hinged.

Perfect user name though — I hope we can all continue to expect nothing from the person with impotent dictator vibes.

[otakuvampyre]

"trial and execution for anyone who served in the Israeli army" would be the entire Jewish population of Israel, given service is mandatory. And forced "reeducation camps"? These people are literally suggesting a mirror of the Holocaust. Kill most the Jewish population in the region, if not all of it, put the rest in camps and then force whoever survives this horror to be in diaspora for the rest of their lives.

How these people think anyone but them sounds like the Nazis is beyond me.

[ani-tolaat-bli-toelet]

Really? Execution and reeducation camps are the "best" solution you could come up with?

You're not a cool revolutionary, you're the kind of cruel that decent people revolt against

was just thinking about how much i love being jewish despite all the hate, ignorance, and antisemitism. being jewish is so important to my life goals, my values, and my very existence

[xclowniex]

"I only agree with that one sentence about Netanyahu pupeteering trump, not the rest of what the hacker wrote on Elmo's account"

Is a take I've heard irl and online. And the thing is, you cannot separate that comment from the rest of it.

The hacker wasn't saying that because of pro Palestine reasons, they were saying that because they hate jews and want jews to be killed. They're just applying the whole "jews control the world and all governments" to the conflict.

They are spreading literal neo nazi rhetoric, and when you excuse that one sentence, you are saying that neo nazi rhetoric is okay and good as long as it's dressed up in the right transparent fabric. You are saying that as long as they phrase it as coming from a leftist point of view, even when it's obvious that's not their motivation, that neo nazi rhetoric is good.

[theblxefox]

Natalie Portman is the best example for how even if you're the "right kind" of Jewish, they'll hate you too.

I mean, the woman has spoken against the war and against the Israeli government millions of times, yet everyone in my notifications calls her a genocidal nazi just because she dared to be Jewish and born in Jerusalem.

[i-want-a-pomegranate]

If ur activism is solely based on yelling at Jews on the internet. Is it really activism? Who are you helping? You're just being an antisemite and not really doing anything.

Go help in a shelter. Work in a kitchen. Become a first responder. Anything.

Edit: Btw. Each negative response just proves you're unwilling to GET TO FUCKING WORK. 😭 DUDE.

"oh no, you're crying antisemitism to avoid talking about—" no. I'm actually telling you to get up your ass and actually do something that helps. Sounds to me like you're allergic to get dirt in your hands and feed the poor. Actually know how real activism works. Discourse and antisemitism doesn't feed hungry mouths, doesn't help people who have been killed by cops, doesn't shelter the poor.

you know what helped? Organized clinics, free breakfast programs, shelters, talking to representatives, funding funerals, free schooling.

Funny enough. I'm not even saying something out of the ordinary, or even out of your ideology. I'm literally quoting help guides done in the 60s about direct action. Much of these things are organized by Black, Latino and Jewish people.

If you hate Jews more than care for people, do you really care for people?

Social change starts with you. And I find funny that me, someone who sucks dick for cash and hates politics, has to tell you something about your own ideology. Be helpful, or get the fuck out of the way.

i had the best human interaction of all time last night. i was sitting at a bar eating an appetizer and this guy comes up to order a drink and stares at my food and comments how good it looks. when i am drunk i use the word bitch like it is a comma, i plug it into any space in a sentence possible. so naturally the first thing i say to this stranger is, “go ahead and take one, bitch.”

he looks SO shocked and taken aback and goes “what did you just say? how do you know my name?” so i sit there for a moment trying to figure out what the fuck he is talking about, and then go, “…. bitch?” and he looks so relieved and tells me his name is mitch.

i cannot stop thinking about this. oh my god. imagine going into a bar and someone you know for a fact youve never met approaches you and says “go ahead and take one, mitch.” im cracking the fuck up. he looked like he thought this was the fucking truman show

Ich hatte letzte Nacht die beste zwischenmenschliche Interaktion aller Zeiten. Ich hab am Bartresen gesessen und Häppchen geknuspert, da kommt ein Typ an, um was zu Trinken zu bestellen, glotzt mein Essen an und äußert sich darüber, wie lecker das aussieht. So. Wenn ich besoffen bin, benutze ich das Wort “Brudi” wie ein Komma und hau es einfach wo irgend möglich in jeden Satz. Also sag ich zu diesem Wildfremden natürlich als allererstes “Klar, gönn dir, Brudi.”

Und er starrt mich vollkommen entgeistert an. “Was hast du gesagt? Woher weißt du, wie ich heiße?” und ich sitz da nur und versuch, zu kapieren, was der Typ da faselt und sag dann nur zögernd “….Brudi?” und er sieht übelst erleicht aus und sagt mir, dass er Rudi heißt.

Das geht mir einfach nicht aus dem Kopf. Meine Fresse. Stell dir vor, du kommst in eine Bar und irgendwer, den du noch nie im Leben gesehen hast kommt dir mit “Klar, gönn dir, Rudi.” Ich hau mich weg. Er sah so aus, als wäre er in der scheiß Truman Show gelandet.
