Finally a Jew!

Jewish sideblog, convert via Reform, first language is spanish, 20 years old, they/them pronouns

[nonbinaryjudean]

the mere concept of “normalizing israelis” is so fucking crazily evil i have no idea how anyone could say that and think they are “just antizionist not antisemitic” like that’s actual fucking nazi shit upgraded with tik tok buzz words. like since when do we talk about “normalizing” actual groups of real life people??? it’s fucking vile they want to strip us of humanity and totally shun us from society and then they attack us for wanting self determination and community

[nonbinaryjudean]

(hope its ok im reblogging with this) THANK YOU. this original post could have been worded better i admit but in case anyone has no idea what i was talking about, ive seen a bunch of antisemites say things like "talking to an israeli person normalizes israelis and israel as a country" and people basically saying that if you even acknowledge an israeli person who exists you are "normalizing israelis and support genocide" its crazy shit. its literally the kind of thing hasan piker has been saying (link to post with screenshot) - actual quote: “All jokes aside, Gal Gadot serves an important role in normalizing Israel as not a fascist ethno-state, but instead a place where a lot of beautiful women come from. And those beautiful women happen to serve in the IDF, because there’s also this weird sexualization of the forces as well that takes place, and it plays another role in normalizing Israel and its activities and actions, and whitewashing it.” (source)

like literally weve gotten to the point where an actress' nationality means she is sexualizing her country's military and everything they have ever done wrong???????? theres like ten layers of misogyny and xenophobia wrapped up in this one.

its so ass backwards that we now see people who proclaim themselves to be progressive people who care about humanity to suddenly decide that extreme xenophobia, sexual harassment, and straight up text book nazism is now justified as long as its against someone from a country they dislike. imagine for a moment that someone said having a conversation with a mexican person is "normalizing mexicans". imagine saying that being friends with a gay person is "normalizing the gays". arent we supposed to be against extreme social isolation based on a persons identity??????

now to bring up the BDS thing. this is so fucking frustrating to me. again, they want to fully isolate israelis and by extension literally any jew anywhere as we have seen time and time again. the thing about BDS is that its literally ALL PERFORMATIVE!!!!!!! they boycott any business that they even THINK might POSSIBLY be (((zionist))) and yet that energy is completely gone the moment the israeli product in question is life saving medical technology and medications. these people will say that israeli doctors finding an affective treatment for lymphoma is pinkwashing whitewashing sciencewashing whatever the hell washing israel. they hate israeli people so fucking much that they think theres an evil plan by (((them))) behind curing fucking cancer. and yet i fully believe that if they were in the emergency room with a life threatening medical issue, they wouldnt be asking the doctor if the technology used to keep them alive "supports genocide" or not.

and i also want to bring up the mapping project. this is something i cant believe we dont talk about very much. i am not going to link their official site here but i have read through it. instead, heres the overview from the ADL:

FAQs on the Boston Mapping Project | ADL

it is literally a map of every single "zionist" institution in Massachusetts. this includes jewish nonprofit orgs, jewish schools (yes, including ones for actual kids), medical schools & medical institutions. the language used on the site is straight out of the protocols and mein kampf. they literally say an education program for teenagers contributes to "ecological apartheid". the funniest part is that they have a ton of land acknowledgements on the site and keep comparing palestine to native tribes in their area. and idk any native ppl reading this are free to correct me, but somethings telling me that the people in those groups probably dont want their names attached to an organization that literally wants to purge the country of anything remotely jewish. i am not going to get into jewish indigeneity here because im sick of explaining it. jews are indigenous. we did not colonize our own ancestral homeland.

anyway, suggested reading:

List of Israeli inventions and discoveries - Wikipedia

The top 64 innovations developed in Israel - Unpacked

(i better see the bds people boycott cherry tomatoes.)

this is part of what i was thinking of when i wrote this post but forgot to include it.

[stupidjewishwhiteboy]

There’s an Israeli guy named Adiel Cohen who’s on Instagram and TikTok and seems to spend a lot of time traveling around the world. Recently, he’s been calling out other travellers who’ve been posting videos complaining about all the Israelis around them, going “what’s wrong with you? What business is it of yours if a bunch of Israelis are in Thailand or Vietnam or whatever? You’re a guest there too!”

[nonbinaryjudean]

i love adiel cohen!!! ive stopped using instagram bc it drains the life out of me but i loved his content back when i did! he seems like such a chill and kind guy

[variationonathem3]

Ethnicity is not genetic. It just isn’t. Ethnicity is a term referring to groups that consider themselves a certain “people,” usually due to some shared cultural feature, such as geography, language, religion, ancestry, etc. because of this, it is possible for one ethnic group to split into new ethnic groups, it is possible for several ethnic groups to merge into one ethnic group. The process of forming new ethnic groups is called ethnogenesis. Attempting to determine ethnicity via blood testing is essentially making a best guess based off of ancestry and genetic markers that crop up because ethnic groups tend to be fairly endogamous, but the genetics to not define the groups.

[variationonathem3]

To the zionists in the notes of this post: fuck off. The fact that ethnicity isn’t genetic is not a defense of the genocidal settler colonial imperial vassal state you love so much. Free Palestine.

[thatjewishteen]

imagine being so close to the point and still missing it entirely lol. it's just embarrassing for you at this point.

anyway all jews, including converts, are indigenous to the levant and have a home in israel.

am yisrael chai and you people can stay fucking mad about it forever <3

[la7ma-mafrooma-deactivated20251]

Here's a map of the original names of Palestinian cities before its colonization.

Why does it matter to know this? Because changing the names as part of colonialism is not new in history.

Learning about the history of colonialism and imperialism is important. When we say educate yourself on these matters, it's because you need to learn to recognize patterns and prevent them from reoccurring.

The idea of the West being civilized is all a sham. The idea of Arabs being terrorists is a mere lie similar to the endless lies that have been told about Native Americans and many other indigenous groups.

If you're going to use the word 'terrorist', it's about time you use it on the real enemy.

Free Palestine.

[fractalhawthorn]

Do you idiots really think that Jerusalem, which existed before Islam, and before the arab conquest of the levant in the 7th century, was originally named Al Quds?

The historic revisionism is astounding. I say this as a historian.

[slyandthefamilybook]

10,000 people couldn't be bothered to do a lick of research so I guess I'll do it for them

Akka wasn't built as a Palestinian city. It isn't even Arabic. It was first recorded in that pronunciation between 1800-1500 BCE (Old Arabic first emerged around 100 CE, almost 2000 years later). The word itself is not Semitic in origin

the city is not called Ahilud, it's Ahihud

Netanya is not Umm Khalid, it's about a kilometer to the west

Tel Aviv is not Jaffa. It was built in 1917 and incorporated Jaffa in 1950, starting with the Jewish quarter in 1948. Jaffa was also not built as a Palestinian city. It was built in ancient Canaan and was ruled by the Canaanites, the Egyptians, the Philistines, the Israelites, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Persians, the Phoenicians, the Ptolemies, the Seleucids, the Hasmoneans, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Islamic Caliphates, the Crusaders, the Ayyubids, the Mamluks, the Ottomans, and finally the British, before Israel was established. It was called Yafo by the ancient Israelites, and that names carries on today

Al-Lydd was not built as a Palestinian city. It has history stretching back to the Neolithic Period. It was called Lod by the ancient Israelites. It was a Jewish center during the Roman occupation. It was called "Al-Ludd" 600 years later when it was conquered by Muslims, then St. Jeorge de Lidde by the Crusaders 400 years after that, then Lydda by the Mamluks, until it was renamed Lod by Israelis

Ashkelon is built near Ascalon, which was an ancient Canaanite seaport, and was destroyed in 1270. Ascalon was populated in the Bronze Age by the Philistines, an ancient group of invaders and pillagers. Askalan is the Arabic name for the ancient site

Zekharia was founded as Beit Zekharia, a Jewish city during the Roman occupation. It is named after the Jewish prophet of the same name. It was renamed Zakariyya by Mamluk conquerors

Modern Be'er Sheva was established by the Ottomans in the start of the 20th century. It is near the ancient city of Be'er Sheva, which was founded by the ancient Israelites.

Umm al-Rashrash was not a Palestinian city. It was a police station consisting of five clay huts

Jerusalem was founded as Jerusalem (Urusalimum in Egyptian or Yerushalayim in Hebrew) in the Bronze Age. It was also called City of David and Zion. Al-Quds is a shortening of Madinat Al-Quds, the "city of the holy sanctuary", referring to the ancient Israelite Temple of Solomon, built around the 10th century BCE. It is similar to the name Ir HaKodesh, the "Holy City", an ancient Hebrew nickname for the city

and finally

the name Israel has been used to refer to the land since the Kingdom of Israel was established sometime in the 10th century BCE. The Roman Emperor Hadrian renamed the land Syria Palaestina after the Bar Kokhba revolt in 135 CE–more than 1000 years later–possibly as an insult to the Jewish population at the time. The British Mandate in Palestine takes its name from there

In short, almost all of these names are simply Arabic names for cities that already existed when Arabs conquered the land. Many of them are Arabic translations of Hebrew or Phoenician names. Both Arabic and Hebrew names are equally valid, as both groups have lived in proximity for thousands of years. Many Israeli cities are built on or in Palestinian cities that were ethnically cleansed during the Nakba (such as Kiryat Shmona). That's something worth talking about. Lying about history isn't

[indecisiveavocado]

Further things:

Jaffa is A DIFFERENT FUCKING CITY FROM TEL AVIV. It's still around by the way. You may notice this if you looked at Google Maps:

Must've been ethnically cleansed. Surely there aren't any Muslims there anym--oh.

Also the word "Yaffa" is derived from...er...Hebrew.

Palestine: Excellent point; here's a map of historic Palestine, not in English because no one seems to have bothered to translate it, alas:

Jafa! Hey! I know that place!

...Wait a second.

Anyway, where does "Palestine" come from? Surely this isn't the right map. Must be a mix-up.

To Etymonline!

To Philistine (it's what they link to)!

Hmm.

I'm afraid that is what is pictured in the map. Lovely place, I've heard. So who were these Philistines?

Oh.

What about Jews?

So Palestinians are named after Europeans...and they call us the Europeans?

Gee.

Let's look at Josephus for other original names. He lived about 2,000 years ago, so rather closer.

Here he is quoting a Roman, with bolding mine:

It is also our pleasure that the city Joppa, which the Jews had originally, when they made a league of friendship with the Romans, shall belong to them, as it formerly did; and that Hyrcanus, the son of Alexander, and his sons, have as tribute of that city from those that occupy the land for the country, and for what they export every year to Sidon, twenty thousand six hundred and seventy-five modii every year, the seventh year, which they call the Sabbatic year, excepted, whereon they neither plough, nor receive the product of their trees. It is also the pleasure of the senate, that as to the villages which are in the great plain, which Hyrcanus and his forefathers formerly possessed, Hyrcanus and the Jews have them with the same privileges with which they formerly had them also; and that the same original ordinances remain still in force which concern the Jews with regard to their high priests; and that they enjoy the same benefits which they have had formerly by the concession of the people, and of the senate; and let them enjoy the like privileges in Lydda.

So more evidence for Jaffa's Jewish origin; and Lydda seems likely to be Lod/Al-Lydd. Keep in mind though that these were Romanized names--thus Joppa and not the Hebrew.

Here he is quoting an antisemite:

The people of the Jews being leprous and scabby, and subject to certain other kinds of distempers, in the days of Bocchoris, king of Egypt, they fled to the temples, and got their food there by begging: and as the numbers were very great that were fallen under these diseases, there arose a scarcity in Egypt. Hereupon Bocehoris, the king of Egypt, sent some to consult the oracle...about his scarcity. The god's answer was this, that he must purge his temples of impure and impious men, by expelling them out of those temples into desert places; but as to the scabby and leprous people, he must drown them, and purge his temples, the sun having an indignation at these men being suffered to live; and by this means the land will bring forth its fruits. Upon Bocchoris's having received these oracles, he called for their priests, and the attendants upon their altars, and ordered them to make a collection of the impure people, and to deliver them to the soldiers, to carry them away into the desert; but to take the leprous people, and wrap them in sheets of lead, and let them down into the sea. Hereupon the scabby and leprous people were drowned, and the rest were gotten together, and sent into desert places, in order to be exposed to destruction. In this case they assembled themselves together, and took counsel what they should do, and determined that, as the night was coming on, they should kindle fires and lamps, and keep watch; that they also should fast the next night, and propitiate the gods, in order to obtain deliverance from them. That on the next day there was one Moses, who advised them that they should venture upon a journey, and go along one road till they should come to places fit for habitation: that he charged them to have no kind regards for any man, nor give good counsel to any, but always to advise them for the worst; and to overturn all those temples and altars of the gods they should meet with: that the rest commended what he had said with one consent, and did what they had resolved on, and so traveled over the desert. But that the difficulties of the journey being over, they came to a country inhabited, and that there they abused the men, and plundered and burnt their temples; and then came into that land which is called Judea, and there they built a city, and dwelt therein, and that their city was named Hierosyla, from this their robbing of the temples; but that still, upon the success they had afterwards, they in time changed its denomination, that it might not be a reproach to them, and called the city Hierosolyma, and themselves Hierosolymites

Hierosolyma is pretty clearly "Jerusalem", not "al-Quds".

By the way, there's an interesting Exodus parallel here, but that's not the point.

And so on and so forth.

@la7ma-mafrooma, do you have any comments on the various debunkings in this thread?

[girlactionfigure]

[mossadspypigeon]

also the video above is the one i meant to post LMAOOO OOPS with the bacon and eggs.

from this post.

[zionistgirlie-deactivated202512]

If "converting just to be able to say 'as a Jew'" had a face...

And there's a difference between being born a Jew and not keeping kashrut, in which case you're a Jew and have nothing to do against it (even converting to another religion doesn't make you not a Jew in Judaism), and choosing to convert, going through whatever process this individual went through (which I daresay was not even comprehensive enough to fit what someone who converts to Reform goes through) and then violating one of Judaism's core mitzvot first thing thereafter.

You don't have to convert. Nobody forces you to be a Jew. Hashem loves you just the way you are, Jewish, Muslim or Christian. Converting means you're willing to take on at least some mitzvot. It's like barging into someone's home and start breaking their china. This is so disrespectful. This is literally the definition of טובל ושרץ בידו. Dipping (in the mikvah) holding a sheretz (an unkosher meat). This is just disgusting. The reform movement should really have a better way of checking who actually converts because they want to be a Jew and who just wants to use it as a token. This individual doesn't even represent the reform movement, however divergent from Halacha it unfortunately is.

[pusheenthenerdcat]

It goes so against my normal values to even say this but like... Is it possible for conversions to get revoked? It seems malicious and crazy disrespectful to not only do all this but also film it and present it as okay

[david-goldrock]

I think not be recognized is the option, and yeah, I know no Jew who would recognize this lady as a jew

[pusheenthenerdcat]

i mean

even if you don't keep kosher regularly you could at least have the good sense to NOT EAT BACON THAT DAY?? if only just for thematic significance??? if you're like "im wearing my hoodie with hebrew on it" then you're clearly thinking at least that element through

I usually eat kosher style but if i was going into a mikveh i would check the boxes of all the foods i had for breakfast even if id seen a kashrut on them a month ago, for the same reason i dont do the shabbat blessings on uncertified challah. it just feels wrong.

one single day and you couldn't take a beeak from bacon for one meal? why are you even converting

[lashon-hooray]

My stepmother is ger. My two best friends are gerim. I do not say this lightly. She is not a fucking Jew.

[zionistgirlie-deactivated202512]

I feel so bad for the actual Gerey Tzedek, who went through a challenging, time-consuming process to become Jews, and now have to see this lady just spitting on their journey. Gosh.

THIS IS NOT A GIORET. THIS IS A GRIFTER.

[fdelopera]

Oh. So she just had a Mikveh attendant observe her immersion?? She didn't have her Rabbis in attendance? Soooo what she's actually admitting is that her conversion isn't even halachically valid.

But more than that, she LIED to her Beit Din. This lady is still celebrating Christmas. She is still eating treyf (like, not keeping strict kosher is one thing, but eating PORK?? on your Mikveh day???). She's still behaving as a Christian. And because of that, whatever Reform (or possibly Reconstructionist) Rabbi oversaw her conversion process should revoke her conversion on the basis of deceit.

[gogogadgetgolem]

This shit makes me SO ANGRY.

I am a convert! It took me five fucking years to convert! (Due to having to start over again and life happenings) I don’t keep fully kosher (I don’t eat treif animals and that’s about it) but I converted reform and let me tell you, discussions about kashrut and keeping the laws, and our relationship with them are ABSOLUTELY fucking part of it. I had my beit din, I had two rabbis (one had to attend the beit din online) standing right outside the mikveh door and the attendant in with me to make sure I was doing everything properly. I absolutely DO NOT keep Christian holidays. (The most I do is go to Xmas dinner and Easter brunch at my mom’s house. My home is UNMISTAKABLY Jewish)

Im angry because what the actual fuck. I’m not saying you have to be a Zionist to convert. Cause shit that’s for another conversation entirely. (Zionism is a nuanced issue at its core and I know that goyim have co-opted the word for their own purposes and I’m not going to get into that here) but eating bacon after the mikveh? Are you fucking kidding me?!

[mossadspypigeon]

💙💙💙💙

like i am just saying. “hybrid online community.” wtaf????

also to all sincere and serious converts: this is absolutely not something you all do and we know that. i just want to preface so none of this comes across the other way. i’m trying to discuss a particular new phenomenon post oct 7.

(thank you to everyone who talked about their experiences btw 💙💙 thank you @disgruntled-detectives !!)

also i have issues with her filming at all and filming the front of the mikveh.

[multifander-is-writing]

Does she have duets off?

[emotionalsupportgolem]

Okay yeah this pisses me off and I am someone who is somewhat uncomfortable with scrutinising converts for their sincerity, as I've previously been subject to this type of treatment for things like disagreeing with another person's beliefs (unrelated to I/P).

I finished my conversion over a year ago after 6 years of study and Jewish life, and the mikvah was a sacred, spiritual experience for me. I'm not sure what happens in Masorti Judaism, but in Progressive Judaism the mikvah immersion has to be witnessed by 3 Jews to ensure it's in accordance with halacha. My immersion was witnessed by my female rabbi and two of my friends. Three Jewish women all from different backgrounds and different ways of observance, all connected to their Jewish identity, helping another Jewish woman to complete their journey. It was the most amazing experience and I'm desperate to go back.

And look. It's not my place to criticise how another Jew keeps kashrut or doesn't- I'm certainly not strict about it myself. But fucking bacon?? On your mitzvah day?? Really?

[mossadspypigeon]

also there isnt a single other video about judaism. just xmas and

[needzamezuzah]

Okay.

Hey what.

See now I'm more than angry. Fuck Christmas. I was pagan for well over a decade before I finally made the decision to convert. Every sacred text and every grimoire I have is buried in my mother's front yard. I gave up half my life's work to fucking be here. How DARE you. How the fuck do you go from celebrating YOM KIPPUR a MONTH AGO into the fucking thinning of the veils talk with the ghosts holiday, something that is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN in Judaism. Every Jew AND pagan I know would be upset with this. You fucking know better.

I guess she likes to start the list as early as possible for next year 🤷‍♀️

[mossadspypigeon]

👏👏👏 go off!! absolutely valid feelings!!

[prismatic-bell]

One of my close friends is a witch, and seconded. "Furious" isn't even the word. We'd begin with a solid ten minute rant about the importance of respecting closed traditions, especially those with a history of being oppressed, segue from there into the dangers of disrespect to multiple deities, and about ten minutes after we moved on in the conversation he'd circle back to the importance of setting an intention in paganism and how this girl clearly set her intention that day by deliberately eating treyf.

This woman is not a Jew. She's even less of a Jew than messianics, and you practically have to be dancing the limbo in hell to pull that off.

[cottoncandytrafficcones]

I don't care what you believe, "Zionazi" is antisemitic. To compare Jews period to Nazis, as well as people who believe Jews should have their native homeland to Nazis, whose very ideology was based on slaughtering and ridding the world of Jews, is antisemitic.

[prof-grace-aspen]

The moment for thinking “what would I have done in Germany before and during Hitler’s reign” is over. Look back over the past two years. What did you do? What did you think and feel?

Did your opinion about Jews change?

If you went from supporting all Jews to thinking that a least some Jews, (namely “Zionists” or “Israelis”) deserve suffering, exile, and/or death, then you fell for modern antisemitic propaganda, and you would’ve fallen for it in Nazi Germany, too.

Maybe you would blink if the police today started rounding up the Jews in your neighborhood, or smashing synagogues, or arresting Jews off the streets. But would you feel better about it if they call them Zionists or Israelis? They’re not arresting “good Jews”, they’re arresting Zionists, to make them pay for their crimes.

It’s not too late to fix that, though. You can come back from being sucked into antisemitism. You can do better going forward.

[miggyluv]

My views, as a non Jewish person, changed completely in the last two years. Living in the UK we are fed this narrative that Zionism is bad, and that Israel is an apartheid state that ethnically cleansed Arabs from Israel. I was someone who would say "I don't hate Jews. I just don't support Israel or Zionism". I had done zero research. It's just what is fed to us by our media.

Then Hamas attacked. At first, without knowing any of the gruesome details, I assumed it was the Palestinians having had enough and rising up against their oppressors. At the time I used Twitter quite a bit and suddenly my feed was full of "information" about the invasion, mainly people criticising Israel and cheering on the Palestinians. So I joined in.

After a couple of days, something felt wrong. Jewish and Israelis on Twitter called me antisemitic. I said I wasn't and that I just didn't support Israel. They insisted I was a Jew hater.

This bothered me, so I started doing my own research, reading as much as I could about Israel's history with the Arabs. I watched the Hamas footage of their attack, and was profoundly affected by the video of Shani Louk in particular. I think it was seeing regular people spitting on her body, including children. The more I watched, the more I cried.

I learnt about the British being mandated to create a Jewish state. I learned about the Arabs attacking Israel on day 1. I learned about the Arabs that remained in Israel becoming citizens and the ones who fled becoming radicalised. I learned about UNRWA and what they taught Gazan kids. How they glorified death and taught children that Jews were monsters. I learned about how the Palestinian identity was invented (by an Egyptian) as a tool of attacking Israel.

I changed my mind. Completely.

I became obsessed with Israel and its people. I got angry at friends and family who continued to believe the misinformation being fed to them by (of all things) The BBC. I'd always believed the BBC to be a trustworthy and respectable source of news. I was horrified by their reporting of the situation.

Friends and family fell out with me, calling me a genocide enabler, but I didn't care. If I tried to educate them they refused to listen. If any of them did research it was simply reading more BBC and Guardian articles. Not helpful at all.

I learned the only way to see the true picture was to ignore tribalistic behaviour, and read news and stories from ALL political sides. Only then can you get the full un-biased story.

I have lost many friendships, and even my husband shouted at me once saying "Israel are murdering babies...so shut up!". I have never been able to talk to my husband again about Israel. He refuses to listen to an alternative point of view than that of the BBC.

I tried contacting a synagogue so that I could talk to someone, a rabbi, a Jewish person, anyone. I had a huge desire, no urge, to apologise for my previous opinions. I know no one knew about them apart from on Twitter but I needed to get things off my chest.

Understandably I suppose, I never was given that meeting. I guess they stopped trusting non Jews. I contacted them twice but heard nothing. It kind of hurt but I understood.

I have no Jewish friends, but now I wish I had. I want to be able to say sorry. I want to be able to offer my support. However I can give it! I took to wearing a star of David around my neck. I hoped I wasn't being offensive. I just wanted to show solidarity.

It bothers me that people used to say "never again" and "how did people allow the holocaust to happen" but now I know. People seem only too eager to jump on the "I hate Jews" bandwagon. Well..."I hate Zionists" anyway. That's what they would say. It horrifies me that I thought the same way.

So...I guess this is my apology. To every Israeli and every Jewish person who reads this. I am so sorry for being an antisemite in the past. I want to do better. I will do better. You are, from what I can tell reading your posts, the strongest people. The most resilient people. I admire you all.

Please stay strong, and stay together.

Am Yisrael Chai

[an-colm-fuinniuil]

You know what @miggyluv I'm gonna go ahead and use my big voice for this one.

This is a vital and very difficult job in the world of deradicalizing extremists. The way that people change their minds is by seeing other people they respect also change their minds. By publicly, openly admitting you were wrong like this, you are having a ripple effect that will flow outward. It's not just you, it's everyone who reads this reply, or hears what you have to say IRL, and thinks "You know what, those are some very good points, I'm going to look further into this."

Nobody wants to take this first step. It's painful and embarrassing! In a sense, I understand the discomfort!

But then people like you come along, who prove that it's possible to take the courageous road even though it's difficult. And that helps people see that "oh, being wrong isn't the end of the world, it won't ruin my life, I can move forward from this."

So thank you, for not only doing the hard work but also modeling it for others. Too few people are willing to do so, but every time someone like you stands up, there are people who see your bravery and vulnerability; who are inspired to be brave and vulnerable themselves.

I appreciate you.

Wow using a Zio a slur created by David Duke of the KKK for Jews and calling a Jewish woman a slur for Jews and a nazi. Congrats.

Congrats on being an antisemite and promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories.

G-d forbid a Jewish woman have a nuanced and sane view on what is going on.

Also to answer your question Hamas has not allowed a vote in Gaza since they came to power in 2006 and Hamas broke the ceasefire on Oct 7. and Hamas is the one that has done the terrorism in past with the first and second intifadas.

And it is Hamas that is currently torturing and executing Palestinians in Gaza. But sure blame the Jews right.

It's crazy how the main picture of Emily's release is with her missing two fingers and antizionists still have the gall to say the hostages were treated well.

[khaghagutyun]

“Who do Israelis and the JoOs get more sympathy than the ten of thousands of Palestinians?”

Can you show me where the Israelis and Jews are getting sympathy because I would love to see.

[chutzpahchesed]

I look at the images of Romi and Emily and Doron embracing their mothers and feel such poignant joy at their reunions, while at the same time such bitter sadness for stories like this. for Ori and her mother, who lives to see this knowing the price paid to save the hostages’ lives. the online leftist discourse referring to a “hostage exchange” will never bother to read her name, nor any of the other victims (including children) of the prisoners Hamas has demanded be released. it is not an equal nor fair nor just exchange, but this is how much is willing to be sacrificed to get the hostages home at last.

Palestinian pleads guilty to murder, rape of Israeli teen Ori Ansbacher

Arafat Irfaiya to be sentenced at a later date for February 2019 attack in a Jerusalem forest, which Israel says was terrorism

He pleaded guilty at the Jerusalem District Court to the charges of first-degree murder, rape and unlawful killing with a terror motivation over the attack on Ansbacher, 19, from the settlement of Tekoa, in a Jerusalem forest.

[…] The indictment against Irfaiya said he had entered Israel from the West Bank illegally armed with a knife.

According to a Channel 12 news report last year, Irfaiya told interrogators that he entered Israel and looked for a Jewish victim because he wanted to be a “martyr.”

According to the report, Irfaiya told investigators he did not plan much of the attack in advance aside from purchasing a kippa so that he could slip into Israel undetected.

On the day of the killing, Ansbacher, who was a volunteer at a youth center in the capital, went for a walk in the woodland of Ein Yael on the southern edge of Jerusalem, encountering Irfaiya by chance.

“He came across Ansbacher and decided to kill her because she was Jewish,” the charge sheet stated. “He attacked Ori with violent cruelty, and though she tried to fight him off, he overpowered her. He stabbed her with a knife multiple times throughout her body, causing her death.”

Is there a reason this girl is getting more sympathy and grief than thousands of mutilated, maimed, and murdered Palestinians, including children. As far as I’m concerned, Israel can rot.

[chutzpahchesed]

did you miss the part where she was explicitly raped and murdered for nothing other than being Jewish in 2019 when there wasn’t a war happening and now to release innocent people from terrorist captivity her murderer is walking free? she’s not getting “more” sympathy, you absolute raging bigot. this hardly has any notes and it’s almost exclusively Jews who care about her at all. sincerely, go to hell. I’m beyond done with ghouls like you.

For anyone still claiming this Amnesty International shit is accurate.

[weemietime]

The executive summary says "on October 7th Israel launched an offensive military operation on Gaza." This is literal blood libel. From an organization supposedly intended to represent humanity. Absolutely fucking disgusting. It's this systemic level shit that allowed the Shoah to happen. The League of Nations was complicit, too.

[straynoahide-deactivated2026032]

they've called me alarmist and it's bothered ppl but i'll say it again: international antisemitism is happening, and it's not a question of which organizations are good or bad. it's real, it's happening, it's archetypal and it is recognizable and demonstrable.

the same factions (with mainly iran behind) will lobby any org which is international. the only thing we have to recognize is a momentum under the current conditions; medinat israel, the jewish state, is singled out among the countries and subjected to double standards.

even if israel is uniquely above-average in any metric of humanitarian consideration or bellic restraint, the narrative will still be that israel is singularly and solely evil and its perceived victims sugar spice and everything nice and have never hurt a fly. and the hostages "don't exist and deserve it" just as israel is accused of genocide with the most dangerous idea of all: holocaust reversal rhetoric.

it can happen sooner or later, it can be more or less evident, but it's as deadly, and it's going to come from all international organizations- UN, ICC, 'humanitarian' NGOs, etc.

[weemietime]

Couldn't have said it any better, it's literally Holocaust inversion.

This is the report and some choice quotes from the Executive Summary. I do recommend properly reading it, though, but these are some highlights. It's worth noting that they actually don't deny that Israel's military campaign is in direct response to the October 7 attacks, but they are focusing on the suffering of the Palestinians of Gaza in this report. It's also worth noting that I don't have a formed opinion on this, I'm simply reading the beginning section of the report as objectively as I can.

This report documents Israel’s actions during its offensive on the occupied Gaza Strip from 7 October 2023. It examines the killing of civil

"On 7 October 2023, Israel embarked on a military offensive on the occupied Gaza Strip (Gaza) of unprecedented magnitude, scale and duration. Since then, it has carried out relentless aerial and ground attacks, many of them with large explosive weapons, which have caused massive damage and flattened entire neighbourhoods and cities across Gaza, along with their life-supporting infrastructure, agricultural land, and cultural and religious sites and symbols deeply engrained in Palestinians’ collective memory. Israel’s military offensive has killed and seriously injured tens of thousands of Palestinians, including thousands of children, many of them in direct or indiscriminate attacks, often wiping out entire multigenerational families. Israel has forcibly displaced 90% of Gaza’s 2.2 million inhabitants, many of them multiple times, into ever-shrinking, ever-changing pockets of land that lacked basic infrastructure, forcing people to live in conditions that exposed them to a slow and calculated death. It has deliberately obstructed or denied the import and delivery of life-saving goods and humanitarian aid. It has restricted power supplies that, together with damage and destruction, led to the collapse of the water, sanitation and healthcare systems. It has subjected hundreds, if not thousands, of Palestinians from Gaza to incommunicado detention and acts of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment that had apparently resulted in at least 53 deaths by August 2024. The unlawful acts inflicted on Palestinians simultaneously, for months without respite, have had a profound, cumulative impact on the mental and physical health of Gaza’s entire population: those who survived were left weakened, hungry or traumatized, with likely permanent effects on their mental and physical health.

"Such is the treatment that Israel has inflicted upon Palestinians in Gaza in retaliation for the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel on 7 October 2023. Early that morning, Hamas fighters indiscriminately fired a barrage of rockets into Israel and, joined by fighters from other Palestinian armed groups, breached the border fence that surrounds Gaza. Hamas and other armed groups attacked civilian and military targets, carrying out deliberate mass killings, summary killings and other abuses, causing suffering and physical injuries. They destroyed civilian property by burning houses, making them uninhabitable and causing the internal displacement of civilians. They abducted 223 civilians, Israeli and foreigners, including children, and captured 27 Israeli soldiers. Some of their actions constituted war crimes under international law. With approximately 1,200 people killed, over 800 of them civilians, including at least 36 children, these were the deadliest single-day attacks in Israel’s history. Amnesty International’s detailed findings about the crimes perpetrated by Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups in the context of their attacks on Israel on 7 October 2023 are the focus of a forthcoming publication." (Emphasis mine)

"This report focuses on the Israeli authorities’ policies and actions in Gaza as part of the military offensive they launched in the wake of the Hamas-led attacks on 7 October 2023 while situating them within the broader context of Israel’s unlawful occupation, and system of apartheid against Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Israel. It assesses allegations of violations and crimes under international law by Israel in Gaza within the framework of genocide under international law, concluding that there is sufficient evidence to believe that Israel’s conduct in Gaza following 7 October 2023 amounts to genocide."

Pay attention to this! They don't appear to be ignoring the atrocities of 10/7, at least not outright. If you believe in Amnesty International's work in general, as I do, it will be important to see what they say about the Hamas attacks when that report does come out.

[weemietime]

I would be very curious to read their report about the Hamas attacks but given the severe misrepresentation of quotes that are listed without context that they're trying to say is genocidal rhetoric

Like obviously they have zero compunction about literally lying, claiming Israel attacked on the 7th, admitting they want the definition of genocide to change so they can conclude Israel is doing it, and claiming Israeli officials are talking about Palestinian civilians when they're not.

This report is deeply dishonest and I am extremely skeptical that a report from them on Hamas will be free of this pervasive libelous shit.

Hey guys.... a bunch of people in Amsterdam actively tried to lynch multiple Jewish fans of a soccer team. There's many videos. People were beaten, run over, and had firecrackers thrown at them. In the videos you can see that the bystanders do NOTHING
