LOUDLY AND PROUDLY JEWISH. YOUR ANTISEMITISM IS NOT WELCOME HERE. Just another neurodivergent lesbian obsessing over queer coded fictional women on Tumblr. Rebecca, 30s, she/her. Icon by @blackbird-brewster, header by me (yes the dog is mine).

From now on the only goyim I will be interacting with are those who have demonstrated to me that they have begun the process of unpacking their own internalized antisemitism and learning more about Jewish history, Middle Eastern history, Arab colonialism, and how to be an ally to Jews.

i think when u clean your house it should stay clean forever. what do u mean i have to do it again

[nonbinaryjudean]

free yourself from radical politics. the world is lovely and nuanced.

[imyourbadjew]

The transformation of “being radicalised” into something cutesy and positive has done untold damage

[sweaterkittensahoy]

Nuance lets you rest. Resting lets you think. Thinking lets you decide what you really do and do not have the energy for. The people who want you on the cliff's edge of anger constantly in order to be radical enough for them to like aren't your friends and don't care about you.

I could go fully into explaining how the "it was promised to them 3,000 years ago" jokes fundamentally are based on a misunderstanding of the Torah because the "joke" would not work otherwise.

However at the end of the day its just calling jews greedy. Like people whip it out about everything and anything that it literally is just the socially acceptable way to call jews greedy. Ya know, a stereotype shoved on us for decades.

At least come up with something original instead of reheating the same nachos that nazi Germany reheated.

“The great question of this moment is not whether we should fight antisemitism or fight for justice or stand up for Israel. It is whether we have the spiritual courage to fully do each of these, together.”

Stop Asking Us to Choose

We do this sacred work because we are both proudly patriotic American Jews and proud Zionists.

“You never shut up about antisemitism” if it stopped happening to me I would stop talking about it. Like immediately.

[teddyrocker]

is that woman character actually “not well written” or are you just not paying attention to her. is that woman character actually “less interesting” or do you just not care about her.

[sun-moon-talia]

in 2014 you could come on here and say “misogyny is bad and more ppl should consume media that includes women” and everyone would agree with you. nowadays you post something like “if you don’t care about women you might be a misogynist” and the reblogs are ppl saying “ummmmmm this take is actually problematic bc the only way i can escape misogyny is by pretending women don’t exist :/” we’re so cooked.

something abt the way this fandom actively erases robby's minority status as a jew to turn him into the privileged white boss bullying his marginalized subordinates rather than a mentally ill marginalized man in a complex environment where he's in a position of authority and responsible for many other mentally ill marginalized people, who has some major blind spots and biases regarding the demographic dynamics around him and his particular status within those dynamics. as literally every human being on earth does.

[lem0nademouth]

a really keystone aspect of robby as a character when viewed through a culturally conscious lens (ie we are intentionally analyzing him through the context of his culture and those that surround him) is that he has a very Jewish sense of apathy. let me explain. my qualifications are being both jewish and a dramaturg.

being jewish, at least now, mostly in the west, mostly in more-secular-than-not spaces, comes with a profound feeling of bitterness and apathy. most jews i know - myself included - have a gut reaction to hatred that is less “how could something so horrible happen?” and more “well, what were you expecting?”. and it doesn’t come from an impulse to victim blame or minimize. it comes from generations upon generations of jews screaming for help, sounding the same alarms over and over again, only to be told we’re overreacting. and when it turns out we were right, nazi sympathizers write poems about how they regret not listening to us. not because it would have saved us, but because it would have saved them.

so you can imagine a 50 year old jewish man, born and raised in a city in the heart of appalachia, who has watched countless tragedies come through his ER with the outcome already decided, who was a witness not only to COVID-19 but every wave of the opioid crisis, swine flu, the anti-vax movement, the return of measles, rising gun violence rates, restricted access to abortion, and every other public health crisis since ~1990, who has seen next to no improvement in healthcare infrastructure, who’s own profession didn’t acknowledge the psychological toll of his job until the last decade, might be a little jaded. he might be a little numb. he’s spent his whole career sounding the same fucking alarm day in and day out and there still aren’t enough beds or nurses or hours in the day. that shit eats away at you so slowly until one day you realize things that used to make you dry heave now barely register at all.

and i want to emphasize that i am not saying Jews are apathetic or that apathy is a Jewish value. we are not, it is not. this ugly, bitter apathy is, forgive the buzzword, a trauma response. it’s not productive or healthy. but it’s not malicious. for many, it’s the only way to make it through the day with your psyche in tact.

It's that shrug, that Yiddish-accented "So what can you do?"

[seafearing]

on top of everything people online are so incredibly disillusioned about the pitt. "does noah wyle really think people want more of robby's mental health journey, btw which he created just to fuel his ego"

uuh but... people genuinely do want that? season 2 has 98% on RT with 85% popcornmeter. it's popular prestige tv! critical acclaim, season 2 averaging 15 million views per episode!

also noah wyle isn't the creator nor is he in charge

the real question here is "does scott gemmil really think people want to see more of the central storyline set around the main character of his critically acclaimed television series watched by millions?"

and guys it's ground-breaking, but the answer might be... yes!

I think when it really comes down to it, the idea that 'zionism' (loosely used term) is evil and that 'zionists' deserve to be harassed, pushed out of public life, killed, whatever other horrible thing people on this website can think of, is ultimately antisemitism because of one simple fact:

As long as Jews still exist in this world, the desire to return to Eretz Yisrael will continue to be there. Stamping out 'zionism' would require destruction of Jews as a people.

this is not a joke you losers need to get a grip

[mariacallous]

I see people talk about how the campus protests were “crushed” and I just remember how the universities did not actually really do that, since they persisted for months and months and acted like that autonomous zone in Portland during the pandemic.

I also think it’s kinda funny how many talk about the consequences of suspension and expulsion, as if that’s the worst thing that could happen.

Also, my sympathy for people at Ivy League universities is always pretty minimal regardless tbh

[iswearbyalltheflowers]

[fruitlicense]

I’ve said this before but the clearest thing that the anti-Israel campus protests at my university showed me is that the people protesting didn’t care about the campus community they lived and learned in. How can I believe that you genuinely care for Palestinian lives half the world away when you block your classmates from their resource centers, leave graffiti all over campus for the cleaning and maintenance staff to clean up, interrupt classes that people are paying significant amounts of money to attend, and disrupt the already limited transportation onto campus so people are trapped? If you don’t have compassion and respect for the people around you who you see every day, don’t even try to convince me you care about people you’ve never met, because your actions are showing me a very different picture than your words.

[kereeachan]

Honestly it makes me think of a bigger version of the Kony 2012 protests at my college. Which primarily consisted of people putting Kony 2012 graffiti all over the damn place. Which maintenance then had to clean up. Repeatedly.

Like I'm sorry but I don't think it's effective protesting to just scroll things on a wall and walk away. I also don't think it's effective protest to terrorize your local college community.
