It irks me that whenever people talk about the holocaust they never talk about the people that died. They'll talk about the death count, but never the people who made up that death count. The focus when people talk about nazi Germany is always on the nazis but not the persecuted and it feels like you have to actively search for people talking about the millions that died in a way where it's not just a number.
Six million is an unfathomable number. Anne Frank had a favorite food.
Duolingo not freezing your streak on Saturdays for Hebrew should be considered antisemitism btw /j
“We will kill them. We will torch them. We will grind them to dust.”
On this day in history, after Arab leaders openly threatened to destroy Israel, Arab armies built up on its borders, Egypt blocked Israeli shipping through the Straits of Tiran, and UN peacekeepers left the buffer zone after Egypt demanded their withdrawal, Israel struck first.
The Six-Day War had begun.
In just 6 days, Israel defeated Egypt, Syria, and Jordan on multiple fronts, taking the Sinai, the Golan Heights, Gaza, and the West Bank, known historically as Judea and Samaria.
Years later, Egypt received the Sinai back in exchange for peace. A peace that still stands today. Jordan later renounced its claim to the West Bank and made peace with Israel as well.
The Golan Heights, taken from Syria after years of Syrian attacks from above, was eventually annexed and became an inseparable part of Israel.
Today, anti-Israel propagandists try to rewrite that war as Israeli aggression. But the truth is simple: Israel was surrounded, threatened, blockaded, and left with no choice.

given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that
zionists when they cry “antisemitism” without knowing that the haavara agreement exists
The agreement that saved 60,000 Judean lives from the Shoah and tricked the Germans into paying for it?
Here's the thing.
Whether Israel should exist or not is a completely irrelevant question when the only alternative you are offering is the genocide of Jews.
Unpopular opinion: If Hamas, Hezbollah, Houtis, Iran, etc. hide weapons somewhere in or otherwise use a location as strategic location to attack Israel, AND there are "innocent" civilians there...
Israel only owes Palestinians the CHANCE to escape. But if they get warned and don't follow it, eg. ignore the chance Israel gave them, then Israel absolutely has the right to attack even if it targets civilians.
Which it's already doing! See her.

Eg. its 80 year history, Israel has not killed anyone unjustified.
‘The opponents of nationalism see us as uncompromising nationalists, with a nationalist God and a nationalist Torah; the nationalists see us as cosmopolitans, whose homeland is wherever we happen to be well off. Religious gentiles say that we are devoid of any faith, and the freethinkers among them say that we are Orthodox and believe in all kinds of nonsense; the liberals say we are conservative and the conservatives call us liberal. Some bureaucrats and writers see us as the root of anarchy, insurrection and revolt, and the anarchists say we are capitalists, the bearers of the biblical civilisation, which is, in their view, based on slavery and parasitism. Officialdom accuses us of circumventing the laws of the land – that is, of course, the laws directed specifically against us…. Musicians like Richard Wagner charge us with destroying the beauty and purity of music. Even our merits are turned into shortcomings: “Few Jews are murderers,” they say, “because the Jews are cowards.” This, however, does not prevent them from accusing us of murdering Christian children.’

I really really really hate the "Biblically accurate angel" thing, meme.
I hate it so much.
For one it is not from the Bible and for two is not an angel.
It is from the Tanach and it is a מַלְאָךְ Malach (singular).
Malachim (plural) have no free will, their name/title means messengers, and they have jobs.
The whole thing of being making pictures or whatever and then doing a caption of "Be not afraid" is annoying and frustrating.
Once again a facet of Judaism is taken and made into a joke. It is taken by goyim and used for their amusement with no care or regard to how we may feel about it, how it degrades us, how disrespectful it is to us and our culture.
In our texts the words that are used to describe Malachim are best translated as awesome, the original meaning. As in inspiring of awe.
Goyim instead of have turned them into these Lovecraftian horrors essentially which doubly disgusting when you taken into account that H.P Lovecraft was a massive antisemite.
Some Malachim we actually know the names of, which xtianty calls Archangels and misunderstand what they are and their purpose is.
These Malachim like all Malachim have no free will and have jobs.
It is very common to find Jews who are named after these Malachim.
These Malachim are also associated with protection, the protection of Am Yisrael as a whole and with the protection of us individuals.
Malachim are not jokes. They are beautiful, they are a wonder, they are one of Hashem's many creations (Fun Fact they were created on the Second Day, what we call Monday in the Gregorian Calendar) and a large part of Judaism both as a religion and a culture.
I wish goyim could respect that, but that would mean that would need to learn to respect us and our culture and stop using us for their amusement and well we have yet to see that happen.
I know Jews make jokes in regards to Malachim, but generally speaking there is a very large and distinctive difference between when we do it and when goyim do it.
And that is when the overwhelming majority of Jews do it, it comes from a place of love, respect, and understanding of the significance and meaning whereas when goyim do it, it is a mockery. It is a degradation whether they realize it or not.
And at the end of the day their will always be a difference when someone who belongs to a culture makes a joke about something in their culture/their culture then when someone who does not belong does it.
The same how way how it will always be diffrent when you make a joke or say something about your family vs when someone who is not a member of family does it.
happy pride to my jewtuals and any queer jews this comes across :)
So I'm reading Oren Kessler's "Palestine 1936" and I'm still working on getting through the first chapter because while the writing is very good (imo), I keep getting pissed off at things.
Such as the treatment of Jews worshipping at the Western Wall and how the poor treatment (poor treatment is an understatement) lasted for centuries prior (and worsened in the 20th century).
Through the first decades of the twentieth century, Jewish rights at the wall had remained tightly circumscribed. It was property of the Islamic waqf, as was the plaza behind it that Jews called the Temple Mount and Muslims the Haram al-Sharif, or Noble Sanctuary, home to Al-Aqsa Mosque.
...
The status quo technically banned Jews from raising their voices or even praying at all, though the authorities typically tolerated worship so long as it remained muted. On high holidays, Jews were generally allowed to use benches, a shofar (ram’s horn), and a screen to divide the sexes.
(but peace and harmony amirite? It's fine that Jews lived as second-class citizens and their right to worship at their holy site was restricted /sarcasm)
On Yom Kippur Eve 1928, an Ashkenazi beadle brought a larger Torah ark than usual to the site, and some mats, lamps, and a screen. Police sought to have it removed, but the beadle would not let go—when a constable threw it down the twenty-foot, cactus-filled valley running out from under the Old City, the beadle went tumbling down with it.
Bloodshed had been avoided, and London swiftly issued a White Paper reaffirming the status quo ante: The wall belongs to the Islamic waqf.
Ah yes another empire reaffirming that the other oppressive ruling power actually totally has full rights. How good, right? (Note my sarcasm again)
And from everyone's favorite (I say sarcastically), Grand Mufti Hajj Amin al-Husseini:
“Having realized by bitter experience the unlimited greedy aspirations of the Jews,” he told the government, “Muslims believe that the Jews’ aim is to take possession of the Mosque of Al-Aqsa gradually on the pretense that it is the Temple, by starting with the Western Wall of this place, which is an inseparable part of the Mosque.”
IT'S THE SAME SHIT whether it's the 1920s or the 2020s "The Jews are trying to take over the Al-Aqsa Mosque!" No, fuckers, they just want to worship at their holy site, aka the Western Wall.
And of course, you can't talk about the region of Palestine without bringing up Nazi Germany. Kessler mentions an excerpt of Hitler's Mein Kampf that pissed me off.
In the final chapter, Hitler likewise mused:
If, at the beginning of the War and during the War, twelve or fifteen thousand of these Hebraic corrupters of the nation had been subjected to poison gas such as had to be endured in the field by hundreds of thousands of our very best German workers of all classes and professions, then the sacrifice of millions at the front would not have been in vain.
"Hebraic corrupters of the nation" up to 100,000 German Jews actively fought in WW1, which would be rather important during Nazi-era Germany given that initially Jewish veterans would be considered exempt from laws like "The Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service". Obviously, these exemptions would quickly be overturned. Around 12,000 German Jews would die during WW1, and thousands of German Jews would receive the Iron Cross. Antisemities live in their own world separate from reality where Jews slot into whatever role their imaginations conjure up whether it's the myth of the "Backstabbing Jews" or "Jews are trying to steal Al-Aqsa".
BEHOLD! THE MAGICAL JEW! We're white when it's convenient for antisemites, we're nonwhite when it's convenient for antisemites, we're evil disgusting communists when it's convenient for antisemites, we're evil disgusting fascists when it's convenient for antisemites, we're snivelling whipped beggars when it's convenient for antisemites, we're domineering greedy billionaires that control the world when it's convenient for antisemites, we're anti-racist when it's convenient for antisemites, we're racist when it's convenient for antisemites,
Every scapegoat you want and MORE!!!
I wonder how many non Jews are aware that we did try to go back after the Holocaust. There's plenty of stories about someone's grandmother or grandfather trying to return home in Poland or Germany to find strangers living in their houses, using their silver kiddish cups or their Shabbos candlesticks. Using their tables and homes and clothes, as if everything was simply abandoned by choice and was free to take. Some of us DID try going back.
We were not welcomed to. There was nothing left because they ensured there wouldn't be.
That's so funny…
I just came across this post. I don't follow, but it's funny.
You say "you love your Jewish friends" but you are against Zionism and pro-Israel ideology -
that means you don't want them to have a safe homeland, or in other words you "love Jews" but only of a "certain kind", not all of them…
And what a charming info you gave here.. From AL JAZEERA and Hamas' Wikipedia... That says it all. The MASTER of Hamas propaganda. nice!
What do you think, my fellow Jews?
