so apparently all the cool kids on the hellsite are doing pinned posts for abouts now, so i guess i'll make one.
this is a sideblog meant to contain posts about politics/world events/spicy jumblr takes that i don't want to get into arguments with non-jewish mutuals about by posting them on my main (i'm not gonna state publicly what my main is, but i should have messages enabled for people i follow, so you can ask me for my main if you want to be mutuals). this blog is going to be pretty disorganized for the time being, so sorry in advance for the mess.
as you can probably guess from the title of my blog/header, i'm quite fond of video games.
some extra info about me that's too short to write an entire paragraph about:
i'm a dude (he/him only pls)
mid-20s (i try to keep this sideblog safe for people under 18 to follow, but my main is not, so i won't follow minors back.)
in-progress reform convert + reform zionist (and if you're one of those people who is so dumb that they think "zionist" = "jewish supremacist", you're gonna have a REAL bad time on this blog. everything I reblog here is leagues above your reading comprehension.)
from the USA (i want to get off mr bones wild ride)
i'm not in the mood for bad faith arguing, but am open to critique/corrections as i, as smash mouth once said, ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.
despite the above, i do have limits on who i want to interact with my blog. i'd appreciate it if you blocked me and moved on with your life if you are any of the following:
Far-right and anti-Zionist groups are accused of trying to stoke 'revolution' at home. While their methods differ, they place Israel and Jew
The headline says anti-Israel, but the article explains how that dovetails with antisemitism. Antisemitism is the accelerant for a wide spectrum of violent political ideologies.
I'd be thrilled if they could get out all their loser daddy and mommy issues by fighting each other and leaving us out of it but unfortunately neither group actually wants to 'fight' anyone who can hit back which is why they target Black and Jewish participation in public life, places of worship, and community centers with preschools attached.
Minorities are props for both ends of the loser fandom extremist horseshoe. It's all lost cause antebellum shit all the way down.
Dylann Roof shoots people in a Black church because he's a white supremacist fuck with a rhodesia flag radicalized on the internet.
Reporter Kevin Sack's new book is a history of Charleston's Emanuel AME Church, the oldest Black congregation in the South, where a white su
10 years later the Hamas fandom, with PLO protests President Biden when he commemorates the murders. In the name of Palestine and because of their obsession with Jews in a movement that has become a fandom.
Protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza interrupted President Bidenâs speech at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
It's not about dead minority people or targeted minority people. It's about them, the fandom and their own need for spiritual meaning. Everyone else is fuel for that self-discovery. And cynical PR reps operating at the behest of RU, China, Qatar and Iran are taking full advantage of these lost idiots.
And of course as the Tabletop D&D LARP heroes... they need a sinister enemy.
Jewish Women International has had to lay off staff after the Department of Justice bottlenecked grants to prevent violence against women
When Jewish Women International began speaking out on behalf of Israeli women who experienced sexual violence during the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, or during captivity in Gaza, the organization quickly received new funding and partners for its âI Believe Israeli Womenâ campaign.
Another project, focused on supporting young Jewish women who have felt isolated âin a post-October 7th world,â has also been popular with philanthropic foundations.
But its work to support female victims of violence in the U.S. â historically a core part of its mission â relies on federal government grants that have evaporated in the second Trump administration, sending the whole organization reeling.
The Department of Justice has refused to release more than $200 million in funds allocated by Congress to help prevent violence against women, including the âculturally specificâ grants that funded work educating Jewish men â including helping Orthodox leaders in Philadelphia reduce the stigma around reporting domestic violence and training members of ZBT, a Jewish fraternity, on sexual consent.
Me when I win a deep blue NYC District: âArise ye prisoners of starvation, arise ye wretched of the earth, Guillotine the inhumane zionist banksters! The Nation Will Follow NYC To Socialist Warmth and Glory!â
Me when Evelyn Normielib racks up the wins in red or purple states: "The party that took it on the chin to pass civil rights, the ACA and gay marriage and protect minorities and our environment and was electorally punished for it is a uniparty that's the same as republicans who have no agency. They love wars and there's no point in celebrating wins when it's not fuckable rich hipsterbae mcjudenhass who has promised everyone a free diamond unicorn. Peace in our time!"
I am once again asking when women will finally beat Hasan the Chode with bats
So, it started with nepo baby dog abuser getting big mad that someone who was actually born in Cuba decided to speak out about how oppressive its government is, because nothing triggers tankies more than people who are actually from the oppressive regimes they defend telling the truth about their lives and blowing a hole through tankie fan fiction
Then John Aziz, a British-Palestinian peace advocate, said this:
And what did that freak say in response?
Yep, this man who claims to care sooooooooooooooooooooo much about Palestinians just accused an actual Palestinian of wishing to starve his family members because he...*checks notes*...called Hasan a moron. Totally normal response and not complete bottom-feeder 4chan troll behavior at all!!!!! (Also "amerisraeli genocide" good god his brain is oatmeal)
But that got 20,000 likes. 20,000 people cheered for this skid mark accusing a Palestinian man of supporting genocide and wishing his own family starved to death because he's so thin-skinned that he can't handle someone calling him a moron, while the Palestinian man's rebuttal that he wants peace didn't even get 30 likes at the time the screenshot was taken. And we're supposed to believe this chode and his rabid fan base actually give a flying fuck about Palestinians? I'm not simply tired of seeing his face online, but sick of people acting like anyone who takes him seriously isn't also a gross moron at this point. Just a bunch of self-righteous scumbags

Francesca, how does the Free Palestine movement help the local economy for Wisconsins? How does the Free Palestine movement help the sagging economy in Wisconsin and bring jobs for healthcare and manufacturing to the state?
Will the Free Palestine movement help with the $800 million needed for 42,000 miles of public road that need immediate repair in the state of Wisconsin that you are running for Governor in?
"racism is nowhere near as bad in the uk as the united states" then Why do you people have race riots everytime a nonwhite person is suspected of a crime
I think a lot of people in both the US and Europe believe that racism isnât racism if itâs against immigrants and religious minorities. Hence people insisting that the anti-immigrant pogroms and riots are fine, because theyâre not not about race, theyâre about âcriminals crossing the bordersâ, or that the wave of anti-Sikh hate crimes up and down the UK and the Islamophobic hate crime waves coming constantly arenât about race, theyâre about âreligious extremismâ.
They use these two topics in particular get used to launder racial violence over and over again and have for years.
It's this. I've had Europeans tell me that they don't have an issue with Romani people because of their ethnicity but because of their behavior, which is of course in line with all of the worst stereotypes about Romanis, but don't worry, it's not racism.
I tried to explain that this is what people say about racial minorities here in the US but it generally doesn't go over well.
For context, global yearly CO2 emissions are around 38 billion tons. If we assume none of the above is captured in Israel's emissions data and add it in, we get a yearly per capita CO2 emission of about 4.6 tons per person, putting it around 60th on the list, right near Greece and Bulgaria.
(In contrast, Qatar is at 45 tons per person, Australia and the US are at 14 tons per person, and China is at 9 tons per person.)
In short, blaming Israel for the heatwave in Europe is antisemitic because Israel's contribution to global CO2 emissions is comparatively miniscule.
My numbers are from https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/co2-emissions-by-country/ and are from 2024.
In 2023 China emitted about 12.3 BILLION tonnes of CO2-equivalent, about 35% of the world total for that year. Anyone who wants to talks about climate change and the current heat dome in Europe better be placing the blame first and foremost on China and the USA since together theyâre the source of nearly half of global emissions. If you decide to blame Israel instead then youâre an antisemitic shitstain who deserves to be completely ostracized from society.
Outdoor in sun perfec t place for president to do speech! Outdoor very warm very soft put old man on green lawn under sun. Put old man in warm sun. no problem ever in warm sun because good view and audience can see long speech. Nice podium outdoor sunny perfect place for old president can trust warm sun to give nice view to President good luck to President. friend sun.
crazy how the "all politicians are using rhetoric to persuade you and you cannot trust them 100% of the time" is just... gone. for the mayor of new york. why? because hes quirky and goofy and pushing 1930s type antisemitic propaganda?
Iâve found it so difficult to listen to Paramore anymore after their petty, shitty, immature decision to not allow Israelis to stream their music, and it sucks because they used to be one of my every favorite bands. Iâve seen them in concert three times, and because of their antisemitic asses, I canât even stand to listen to them. Then again, Iâm sure most everyone on my Spotify also hates Jews so why am I even bothered
Looks like we've got a specific left-entryist tactic launching across social media: Rebutting accurate criticism of racist or sexist actions by DSA entryists with accusation of racism in return, playing on the liberal reflex to instantly apologize for causing offense. Don't take the bait.
The instant response to El-Sayed being sexist and conspiratorial to Stevens, a highly accomplished female lawmaker is
"Calling a muslim mysoginistic is relying on the trope of Muslim Man as unrepentant savage"
Here it is:
If the good faith liberal apologizes, the dishonest interlocutor has won. This person is bigoted themselves, and is essentially super okay with using Platner/El Sayed/Chevalier/Mamdani to beat "Libs" and especially minorities who don't get into line, so if their representatives are accurately criticized for the bigotry they show (And they're all demonstrably bigoted) this is instantly flipped back on the good-faith liberal.
What this does is give DSA entryists and particularly Muslim men or people these predominately white, upper middle class DSAers are running defense for freedom to say and do whatever they want using the 'noble savage'/they just don't know any better/YOURE holding them to biased standards of western civility" attack. And it is an attack. And it relies on not holding public figures accountable for their own words and actions because they have the right enemies. Women, Black Democrats, Jews, and the other minorites who don't get into line. They're not here to fight the GOP.
Here it is in context:
Here's the same thing on Tumblr:
"Mamdani doesn't know any better and it's racist to call him out for what he may or may not be doing, you should focus on the WHITE DEMOCRAT CHRISTIANS. HES A BLORBO"
Here's a link to the post:
đŹ 47  đ 139  â€ïž 194 · Ok but actually the Sadiq Khan analogy is EXCELLENT!
Like let's talk about this!
Khan has some views that I disagree
This is their new move. Policing by outright accusation, being bigoted about their Sufficiently Diverse Blorbos themselves (By holding them to lower standards) and then relying on other people to further police for them
The person on twitter said that any criticism of El-Sayed's misogyny was racist. The person on tumblr said focusing criticizing Mamdani (Like we only object to HIS antisemitism) was bigoted because he doesn't know any better.
Don't take any of that shit.
This is the new meta. Learn it.
This is why DSA, despite being 85% white, hides behind candidates of color. It's the exact same tactic the Republicans pull, like in the recent Virginia gubernatorial race.
Side note: Last I checked Anastasia was not a Disney movie, but a Don Bluth film.
Unlike Disney films Disney doesn't have automatic rights to it because it is not a Disney film. They have to pay for the rights to have the film on their platform.
I would like anyone who claimed we shouldnât worry about all the deranged DSA/Antizionist candidates in NY because âthey could only be elected in NYC; it isnât reflective of a nationwide trendâ to shut up forever
And no family should have to carry the unbearable weight of knowing that their loved one was not only taken from them, but was murdered with unimaginable brutality.
Sudden loss is devastating enough.
But how do you begin to live with the knowledge of what they endured?
How do you make sense of cruelty so profound that it defies human understanding?
Some wounds never heal because the mind cannot reconcile what the heart knows happened.
For a thousand days, these families have woken every morning carrying not only unimaginable grief, but also the burden of unanswered questions.
No bereaved family should have to spend a thousand days pleading for the truth.
Seeking the truth is not politics.
It is not revenge.
It is the most basic dignity owed to those who were murdered, to those who were taken hostage and never came home, and to every family left behind.
Their lives changed forever on October 7.
For the families of those murdered, and for the families of the hostages who were killed in captivity, time did not heal.
It never will.
It simply kept moving while they remained trapped in the moment that stole everything from them.
A thousand days is long enough.
Long enough to pursue the truth.
Long enough to take responsibility.
Long enough to honour those who were murdered not only with remembrance, but with action.
Because remembrance without accountability is incomplete.
And those we lost deserve both.
October Council requests Israelis fall silent for a minute at 10 a.m. to observe somber anniversary, which will also include a convoy tourin
Israel was marking 1,000 days since the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre on Thursday, with somber memorials, marches and protests planned across the country.
The October Council, a group of bereaved families, October 7 survivors and some former hostages, was organizing a full day of events to mark the occasion throughout the day.
The organization â which is sharply critical of the current governmentâs failure to prevent the Hamas invasion and its refusal to form a state commission of inquiry â opened the dayâs events at 6:29 a.m., the exact time that the attack began 1,000 days earlier, with a series of protests.
The October Council was also organizing a convoy of vehicles that would tour the worst-hit sites of the attack, beginning at the site of the Nova festival near Kibbutz Reâim, continuing through Nir Oz, Kissufim, Beâeri, Nahal Oz, Kfar Aza and other locations, and ending at a memorial site next to Sderot.
The organization called for a nationwide moment of silence at 10 a.m. to remember the October 7 massacre. That time of day is also the time in which a siren rings out nationwide on Israelâs Holocaust Memorial Day each year. At 11 a.m., the organization was set to open an exhibit in Tel Aviv presenting 1,000 personal items that belonged to those killed or kidnapped that day.
At 5 p.m., a protest will be held outside the Defense Ministry headquarters in Tel Aviv, and at 8 p.m. the main rally will be held at the former Hostages Square in Tel Aviv. A number of other events will be held throughout the day at locations nationwide.
Freed hostage Rom Braslavski, who was kidnapped from the Nova festival and held in captivity in Gaza for 737 days before being released in October 2025, said he would speak at the main gathering Thursday evening.
âFriends, I want to invite everyone to the 7.1000.2023 event,â he wrote on social media. âI invite everyone to come, to be moved and to pay respects to the fallen who are no longer with us.â
The October Council began the proceedings already on Wednesday evening, with a gathering at Shaâar Hanegev, which included speeches from Yael Adar, the widow of slain hostage Tamir Adar, as well as Ali Ziyadne, whose brother Youssef and nephew Hamza were kidnapped and slain in captivity, while another nephew and niece, Bilal and Aisha, were taken captive and freed from Gaza in November 2023.
Ahead of the three-year anniversary of the massacre this fall, dueling ceremonies are once again being planned as the legacy of October 7 remains highly politicized.
On Wednesday, the Kumu (âRise Upâ) organization, a group of October 7 survivors and bereaved families, said it was planning a major memorial in Tel Avivâs Yarkon Park, separate from the official state-sponsored ceremony.
âThree years after the failure and the disaster, with hearts that still ache, countless questions still awaiting answers, and a memory that must continue to resonate, we are once again taking our stand to present the failure as it unfolded, to give voice to the families, the murdered, the wounded, the survivors of captivity, and the communities that were destroyed â to remember, and to offer hope,â the organization said.
Speaking on Monday ahead of the 1,000-day mark, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said that October 7 was âan attack on the very existence of the Jewish people.â
âThat memory requires us to continue to change, to draw and assimilate lessons in the regional learning race,â he said.
The military event opened with a minute of silence in memory of those who fell on October 7 when Hamas led thousands of terrorists in an invasion of southern Israel, killing 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting 251 as hostages to the Gaza Strip.
The Hamas attack triggered a war in Gaza that spilled over to several other fronts, after Israel came under attack from the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon and Houthi rebels in Yemen, both of which are sponsored by Iran. Israel also went to war with Iran, alongside the US.
Though fighting has largely been halted on all fronts, none of the conflicts have ended with a permanent ceasefire, and sporadic clashes continue to threaten an outbreak of further fighting.
Today Israel marks 1,000 days since the October 7, 2023 massacre, when Hamas terrorists stormed southern Israel, murdering 1,200 people and kidnapping 251 others in the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. The October Council, representing bereaved families, hostage families, and survivors, has called on the Israeli public to join a day of remembrance, beginning at 6:29 AM (local time) and culminating in a central rally at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv. People across the country also paused for a national moment of silence.
Throughout the day, the square will host testimony circles with bereaved families, survivors, hostage families, reservists, and residents of the border communities and the north. 1,000 days later, Israel continues to remember, to mourn, and to stand together. May the memories of all the victims of that horrific day be forever a blessing.
The amount of people calling Scott Weiner an "AIPAC centrist" when he takes literally zero money from them should tell you exactly what people mean when they talk about AIPAC. It should tell you exactly what Mamdani meant.
