yiddish theatre, yiddish newspapers and other yiddish cultural stuff was illegal in israel for years and actively discouraged and attempted to make obsolete, yiddish lectures were disrupted and the israeli state translated the testimonies of holocaust survivors to hebrew rather than keep them in yiddish (the language spoken by most jewish holocaust survivors) but tell me more about how israel and zionism are saving jews and making jewish cultural identity stronger rather than destroying and devaluing jewish diasporic culture 🤔

reminder that Jews from North Africa and West Asia also often spoke dialects of Judeo-Arabic as their first language and this is still heavily repressed by the Israeli state in an effort to distance Arab Jews from Palestinians and other non-Jewish Arabs

Moreover, only after the Yom Kippur war Israel allowed Holocaust survivors to openly speak about their experiences. Between 48’ and the 70’s, there was no support nor sympathy for Holocaust survivors. They were seen as weak, a “perfect example” for what a Jew or zionist shouldn’t be. The Holocaust survivors were just used as a reason to spread and justify the zionist ideology

also around 1/3 of holocaust survivors in israel live in poverty and israelis very vocally talk about how much they look down on holocaust survivors and diaspora jews

Several dozen impoverished elderly Israelis, among them Holocaust survivors, received food donations from a charity ahead of International H

Strange that it never occured to me. There are times I've been so upset that I've stamped around while cussing, that I've lain flat on the floor and groaned for as long as I had breath, that I've ranted my frustration aloud in an unhinged monologue, that I've swung my limbs about in a fury. All until I'd vented enough to just ... resume my normal life.

And if I'd had not the privacy of my home, I'd either have had to bottle that all up ... or open it all up where the public could scrutinize my every move. It really is a privilege to not be constantly on display like that.

[ID: tweet by Lydia Kiesling @ lydiakiesling, "Housed people have the privilege of having their worst moments in private; unhoused people don't. That gives some people the mistaken impression that the person they see acting belligerent on the street is and will be that person every single moment of their life."]

Also consider how you must look every time you're sick for any reason. Everyone gets delirious with fever now and then, everyone gets stomach cramps where they're doubled over moaning in pain, now imagine how much more often that happens to people with no clean facilities. I can't count how often I've heard or seen someone complain about a homeless "druggie" and the behavior they're describing is significantly more likely to come from food poisoning than drug withdrawals.

Not that drug addiction isn't also a medical condition that warrants medical care, but the fact is a large number of people will attribute literally all of an unhoused person's displays of pain, exhaustion or discomfort up to drugs and alcohol.

Unironically, vegans need to be advocating for more and better sheep, llama, and alpaca farms. Wool is one of the best fabrics we have in terms of versatility, longevity and most importantly, insulation. Even wet, it retains 80% of it’s insulation potential.

AND IT DOESN’T SHED MICROPLASTICS

katelyn-danger

Like, there’s literally nothing you can do to a sheep that’s as morally reprehensible as dumping plastic down the gullet of literally every other living thing. You wanna talk about animal welfare? Talk about reducing the amount of microplastics produced by rayon, polyester, and spandex.

Bruh plant-based sources of clothing exist and are better for the environment and don’t involve slicing an animal’s throat open please shut the fuck up you cunt

THE WOOL GROWS BACK

scoutsmoocrew

I know when I shear my animals I always make sure to slice their throat 😌

In the UK many farmers are resorting to throwing away or burning the wool from their sheep because the fleeces have so little value now that it’s not worth trying to sell them. Other farmers are switching to using sheep breeds that moult naturally as it costs more to sheer an individual sheep than it’s fleece is worth.

Meanwhile fast fashion brands keep pumping out clothing made of plastics that will permanently pollute the environment and shed microplastics everywhere.

The impact PETA has had on completely misinforming the public on where wool comes from is astounding.

This is all shearing a sheep involves. That’s it. It may be a bit confusing or uncomfortable, but it’s no more inhumane than giving a dog a bath. Most wool-bearing animals do not shed their wool naturally anymore and must be sheared to avoid suffering an incredibly slow death.

Nothing about wool production is cruel to the animals. No part of wool goes against veganism. Benefits the animal and benefits the people.

ive gotten a depressing amount of use out of th is image

If you want a quick summary: wool is made by sheep haircuts, and you have to give sheep haircuts anyway. Everyone in this post is using the term “sheering”, which might sound scary to you, because it’s a technical term you’re unfamiliar with that references a blade. It’s a haircut. It’s a less exploitative haircut than when a principal lets the students shave their head if the students raise enough charity money. Haircut haircut haircut.

how are there so many vegans that think you have to kill an animal to cut it’s wool

raimagnolia

they’re the same ones who think you have to kill bees to collect honey…

Even though that would be … incredibly counterproductive

leadyouinthesummer

genuine question - is shearing always done by hand? i am a vegan and no, i don’t think you kill the animal to get wool, but i feel like i saw a video of a sheep being stuffed through a machine to cut its fur and that looked freaking traumatizing BUT i have no idea what the source was or even where i saw it so i’d like to get my facts straight

prismatic-bell

I don’t know for sure, but I’m pretty sure the answer is going to be yes, always by hand, because the biological fact “sheep come in different sizes” means you’d have to sacrifice wool to use such a machine. Either you wouldn’t cut it all off (which is lost profit to you), or you’d injure the sheep (which is lost profit due to bloody wool AND the fact you’ve just flushed your reputation for animal welfare down the drain).

Also, sheep move. They’re deeply curious. Dumb, but curious. You put a sheep in a novel situation and it’s going to try to look around, thrash, walk, move, etc., which is not conducive to a good clean shear.

I apparently commented this on someone’s fanfiction while almost unconscious and had no memory of this event until today, a week and a half later, when the author responded to that comment and I got the experience of reading my own writing for the first time. I, too, will be thinking about this for the rest of my life.
