There is also more to be said about this. While Holocaust survivors did move to Israel, that does not mean they were treated well there. Israel being as militaristic, colonial and moving closer to fascism every day as it is, Holocaust survivors are often seen as weak - "why didn't they fight back?" - and a lot of them were/are spending their old age in Israel in poverty (the article uncritically mentions one survivor helping in the 1948 Nakba, Jesus Christ).

This is a country steeped in propaganda and constant war with compulsory military service. The "us vs. them" attitude is deeply part of the consciousness (including rabid racism and islamophobia).

Basically these tweets seem to be saying "How could Jewish people turn around and do this to other people?" But you're not talking about "Jewish people". You're talking about the zionist project, a very specific country with a very specific history and geopolitical position, which explains what's happening much better than "first this was done to Jewish people and now Jewish people are doing this to others".

I'll also add that Israel was not founded by Holocaust survivors. In fact, the state seems to have always had a deep seated latent contempt for the survivors whilst holding them up as their raison d'etre

what really fucks me up about watching the truman show in 2025 is how it's not fictional. truman is fictional, but the truman show isn't.

there's thousands of truman shows. you find them on youtube, tiktok, instagram... family and mommy vloggers, sad beige moms and now the trend of neglectful moms showing the "reality" of parenting. all of them using their kids for entertainment. each child their own truman; living a life manufactured by their parents, a camera watching their every moment, broadcasted for the entire world to see.

in other developments re german/anglo cultural exchange on breadstuffs, this image was posted to a facebook group yesterday

the following events ensued:

1. predictable lively discussion on the preparation of Wienerschnitzel, in which natives and wurstaboos are pro-puff and everybody else is like *confused dog head tilt* why wouldn’t you want the crust to stay ~attached to the thing you put it on? as with other fried foods?

2. thirty “Bad Schnitzel is my band name” jokes

3. thirty “Bad Schnitzel is my stripper name” jokes

4. one “ah yes, Bad Schnitzel! a lovely spa town” joke

5. this absolute masterpiece:

The suburbs dream of violence. Asleep in their drowsy villas, sheltered by benevolent shopping malls, they wait patiently for the nightmares that will wake them into a more passionate world.
