Scroll of Esther, Venice, 18th century
This Venetian eighteenth century Scroll of Esther is enclosed within an elegant tubular scrolled filigree case. The cylindrical case of delicate silver filigree is beautifully decorated with floral motifs, with a gilded, flower-shaped element on top. In contrast to its richly ornamented case, the parchment scroll is very simple and has no decorations around the handwritten text.

"Borrowing from Ladino and Yiddish."
"Borrowing from Ladino and Yiddish"
"Borrowing from Ladino and Yiddish"
And Arabic!
The earliest manuscripts in Hebrew (and not proto-Hebrew) date back to ~500 BCE. The earliest Arabic (which is actually paleo-Arabic) is found in ~500 CE, a full millennium later!
prev, the antizionist take is (usually) not that Arabic predates Hebrew as a whole, but rather that modern Hebrew as a whole is a separate language, which is more similar so foreign languages than to "real Hebrew"
as for my response to that, there are a couple of things to unpack here.
modern Hebrew is continuous with older forms of Hebrew - this is no "break". Hebrew was never a "dead" language.
modern Hebrew is closer to ancient Hebrew than modern English is to the English of only a few centuries back. evidently, children speaking modern Hebrew can read the Tanakh without needing to learn ancient Hebrew, and only need a word explained to them here and there.
modern Hebrew is also closer to ancient Hebrew than modern Arabic is to older Arabic. ironically enough, Judeo-Arabic has older roots than the Arabic that is spoken today in most places - because it has Aramaic roots.
throughout the entirety of exile, Hebrew has been used by Jews all around the world, and even developed different subtle quirks in different regions - something which, antizionists usually know to say (as a gotcha), without thinking of how it goes against the claim that Hebrew "wasn't spoken" slash "was only liturgical". a purely liturgical language does not develop differently in different regions - see, for instance, the liturgical dialect of Arabic.
due to this, one thing that WAS required for the revitalization of Hebrew, was some type of a merge between these subtle differences. which, personally, i think we did rather poorly. but that could be its own post, and my opinion is of much of a minority anyways (as i've been proved here enough times). either way, considering the fact that this was arguably the first case of language revitalization... i mean - is the alternative of letting a language die any better?
one thing that Hebrew was used less for, was constructing new ideas. that already began to change towards the end of the second exile, WAY before Eliezer Ben Yehuda (which is given the title of the mind behind the revitalization of Hebrew by both Zionists and antizionists, which is its own exaggeration).
yes, the revitalization of Hebrew required "borrowing" words from other languages - same way that all languages do. how does one say "television" in Arabic? or "queue" in English? thing is, Hebrew had a lot of ground to cover, since for some time it was used less for creating new ideas, some more modern concepts didnt have proper Hebrew terminology. which brings me to my next point-
modern Hebrew actually attempted to prefer Hebrew words other foreign ones. we have words for scientific terms which are often universalized in other places, e.g. sickness names. the fun thing about Semetic languages is that they're root-pattern based, and can easily derive words from other words. the modern Hebrew word for "texting" is derived from the word for "writing", the word for "airplane" is derived from the word for "air", etc.
if anything, modern Hebrew borrowed most from Aramaic - tho the same can be said about the Hebrew used in the time of Baith Sheni. if anything, modern Hebrew uses LESS Aramaic nowadays.
in general, you gotta love (sarcasm) the take that "language revitalization is a tool of colonization". it's just so incredibly harmful on the linguistic aspect of things. it opens the gate for pushing down other attempts of revitalization, too. take Wales, who took inspiration from the revitalization of Hebrew, to try and preserve Welsh. take Aboriginal people who took inspiration to try and revitalize their own languages. the revitalization of Hebrew had a good balance of new and old (or rather, old with a sparkle of new) which plenty of people who are connected to endangered languages, could learn from. this new* gen z insistence that the revitalization of Hebrew is Evil™, these people are discouraged to learn - practically endangering minority languages further. [*new from the western point of view, i will not get into the USSR - tho it is tempting, i am simply not knowledgeable enough on that topic].
Arabic is used in the vast majority of the Middle East. Hebrew, however, is only used in one tiny are. if your take is, "i want to destroy a language spoken by a tiny minority of people and replace it with one spoken towards the greater region" then congrats, you're imperialist, and by extension, hold strictly colonial worldviews. OWN UP TO IT.
Yiddish and Ladino developed from Hebrew, not the other way around.
the very fact that Jews have developed their own languages (again, from Hebrew!) in different regions is already an indicator that Jews are an ethnicity, not merely a religion. how many religions are out there who developed their own languages, which are not linked to any ethnic group? none. because a religion is a set of cultural bindings - whether they're held by one primary ethnic group (ethnoreligeons) or were imposed on large regions by brute force (e.g. christianity, islam). Arabic is not the language of the muslims, it is the language of the Arabs. whose language is Yiddish - the Yidden's? oh what do you know - Jews'. and if one's trying to claim that Hebrew is the language of the Hebrew, not the Jews - see next point.
the Jews are the Hebrews. our ethnicity was referred to as "Hebrew" through the majority of history, hell - some places still call us Hebrews today. (hate to be linking Wikipedia here, but you can check the references).
when antizionist refer to Hebrew "stealing" from Arabic, they dont usually refer to adapted roots (e.g. the root n.z.l which means to go down in Arabic being adapted into Hebrew to describe liquids), but rather to one of two things: to grammar (which was not adapted from Arabic what so ever - Hebrew grammar has remained roughly the same as it was, with the major change being in the future tense (chapter4)), or to Israeli slang, which - and i cannot emphasize this enough - was made as a result of people fleeing from Arab-lead countries, as i mentioned above.
Yiddish and Ladino were only spoken by Jews in specific areas, while Hebrew is spoken by most Jews worldwide. so, when these Jews moved to Eretz Yisrael, they had one language which is to some extent "nobody's first language, but everybody's second". it was the obvious choice.
mocking the revitalization of Hebrew does nothing but achieve two results. one, is the mocking of Jewish heritage; which is something that antizionists will never care about. the other, is pulling down other endangered languages and chances of revitalizing them - which is something that antizionists will never realize.
in simple terms - people could achieve so much more had they only accepted the fact that Jews (/ Hebrews / Israelites / Israelis / whatever current name they use to hate us under) are people. who they could even learn from. it's... quite frustrating, honestly.
there. i got it off my chest. hopefully i can stop being angry about these people for a bit now.
I've seen an uptick in people fantasizing about how they want to punch, torture, or kill Nazis.
And I think it's a good time to revisit what Nazi ideology is really about.
First and foremost, if Nazism is anything, it is antisemitic. When Nazism is homophobic, it's antisemitic homophobia. All Nazism is antisemitic.
And I am definitely not the first to note this, but if your concern about Nazis isn't accompanied by concern about antisemitism (in all its subtle manifestations), you're just not as anti-Nazi as you think you are. You can fantasize about violence all you want - it's not doing anything. Actually do something to help Jewish people - that communicates real understanding of the issue. And if you think you need to separate people into categories of Good and Bad Jew to do it, congratulations, you've missed the point entirely.
I'm seeing people try to abstract it to be about hatred of other racial/ethnic groups and guess what, they also tied that into antisemitism. For instance, the Nazi prohibition on jazz was yes, anti-blackness but they also saw jazz as an inherently "Jewish" art, because some individual jazz artists happened to be Jewish. And therefore it played into an idea of promoting the art and culture of "lower races" being part of some kind of nefarious Jewish plot. You can't get into facts about how jazz had its origin in African-American communities because they're not operating with facts, but with a conspiracy brain that brings everything back to their favorite scapegoat.
And the conspiracy in question, and the belief that makes up the deep corroded heart of Nazism is: Jews are the enemy, and even promotion of and advocating for the rights of other minority groups they hate is a Jewish conspiracy. There's no way that you can separate Nazism from antisemitism. None. So your anti-Nazi theatrics will always be just that.... theatrics, and nothing more.... if you don't understand and fight against antisemitism.
So like a decade ago when I was studying the manosphere of the time, it was a VERY antisemitic place. Things I saw them blame on The Jews included:
Lupita Nyong'o being widely considered attractive
The move Black Panther doing well
Monica Bellucci as an "older" Bond Girl
A popular campaign to have Idris Elba as the next Bond
Interracial couples in random commercials (doubly so if they're shown with "their" kids)
Feminism in general
No fault divorce laws
People suggesting that fat shaming is a dick move and does no good
Gay people existing/being acknowledged in media
Shows/video games with women leads
Tracer's victory pose in Overwatch being altered to a no less sexy, but more in-character one
Women/nonwhite people being allowed to vote in the US
AND MORE!
Srsly. They blame The Jews for fucking EVERYTHING they do not like. If a Nazi is racist, they think Jews are helping the races they dislike*. If a Nazi is sexist, they think Jews are behind feminism. If a Nazi is homophobic, they think Jews invented gay people. And so on!
*this is why racists can often never be swayed by pointing out successful people in the race the are racist against. They assume some Outside Force (usually The Jews) promoted that person into that position SPECIFICALLY to attack the racists.
This is a good summary of the manosphere. And I would add that the OG Nazis saw trans people's existence as proof that Magnus Hirschfeld (who was Jewish) was "corrupting the youth", since some on Tumblr don't get why the Nazis targeted the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute.
there is a lot of overlap between those two groups

She ain’t no games in real life so I take her serious all the time
Anyone with a name that starts with a “Z”, ends with an “i”, and isn’t some kind of Italian pasta, IS SERIOUS
I’m not climbing no mountain with a pig on my back, 🙅🏽🙅🏾🙅🏿 Negative.
people with speech impediments, vocal stims, tics, stutters, an obvious accent, who are mute (to any degree), who talk to themselves, or who have any other noticeable vocal traits, you’re all really cool and wonderful and I’m wishing u all an epic and poggers night
more people who’re included in this post: anyone who’s voice doesn’t “match” their gender, or doesn’t “match” the gender they get read as, anyone with disorganized speech, people who use a lot of “filler words”, or anyone who has a lisp. I hope you’re all having another epic and poggers night
also shout out to anyone with flat or monotone speech, “too” quiet speech, or “too” loud speech. y’all are poggers and deserve an epic night too
"If you masturbate you're a filthy gooner" you sound like a fucking nazi and I'm not kidding, why are people so eager to turn into pearl-clutching reactionaries about normal sexual activity
Addendum to this is that if you call normal goddamn women "goonbait" for the crime of Being Women In Public then I think you should get beaten with hammers
"Masturbating and sexual activity in general are not things you should be shaming people for" and "acting like women existing is basically porn is fucked up and dehumanizing" can and should be simultaneously-held viewpoints
Side note:
Do you know why this is Nazi concept?
Do you understand what is going on?
New rule I have if some is going to say something sounds like Nazi or Nazism and/or make a comparison to them they need to show that they actually understand what they are talking.
I don't actually have to explain anything I say to a fucking Zionist, fuck you and your rules. Free Palestine, you genocidal piece of shit.
And this just goes to prove why I decided to implement this rule in the first place.
So for those who don't know the entire foundation of Nazim was antisemitism.
Why the Nazis went after the things they did was because they believed that the Jews were behind it and that it was all one big giant conspiracy and ploy by the Jews to destroy the Higher Races.
And one of these antisemitic conspiracies theories was that pornography was created by Jews to corrupt the Higher Races and get them to have less children.
This conspiracy theory is still used by those on the far right and the far left. Though how it is worded and dressed up looks different for both extremes.
On the far right it dressed as Jews using pornography to destroy Whites, the traditional family unit, promote race mixing, etc.
On the far left it is pornography is a ploy of the Jews to destroy feminism, promote sex trafficking, destroy consent, etc.
This is important. Understanding this is important. This knowledge is important.
If you can't understand and if you don't understand what makes Nazis, Nazis and why Nazi ideology is what it is that is a massive problem.
It is not enough to know that something was a Nazi talking point, you have to the why.
Just like with any of hate rhetoric. It is not enough to be able to spot that xyz and abc is the rhetoric of that hate movement. We have to understand why it specifically.
For example it is not enough to know and spot that hate rhetoric of KKK we have to understand why it is specifically the hate rhetoric of the KKK.
Sadly it doesn't surprise that this part is where the failure is happening.
Because here we have someone calling me genocidal for being a Zionist. Which means they have no clue what that even means.
I have a very strong suspicion that OP using the slur zio with zero awareness or care that it is a slur that David Duke of KKK infamy claims to have created and while he did not create it. The former grand wizard of the KKK most did help popularize this already existing White Supremacist slur for Jews.
Hi my name is Mordechai ben Yair ben Shimei ben Kish, ish Yimini and I am from the tribe of Binyamin (that’s how I got my name) with a long white beard that reaches my mid-abs and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like King Saul (AN: if u don’t know who he is get da hell out of here!). I AM related to Queen Esther which is great because she’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a prophet but I'm humble and scholarly. I’m also a Jew, and I was a member of a respected group called the Sanhedrin in the Hall of Hewn Stones where I learned seventy languages (I’m one hundred). I’m a vizier (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly royal blue. I am second to the king and I get all my clothes from him. For example today I was wearing royal robes of blue and white, and a mantle of fine linen and purple wool. I was wearing a magnificent gold crown and riding a royal horse. I was sitting by the castle gates. A counter-decree had been issued so the Jews were not in mortal peril, which I was very happy about. A lot of antisemites stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.
חג פורים שמח – Chag Purim Sameach – Happy Purim!
Purim ends at sundown today. At a recent Jewish Studies Advisory Committee meeting, a member referred to Purim as the Mardi Gras of Jewish holidays, and you know, that’s really quite true. During these days, the Book of Esther encourages us to “make [Purim] days of feasting and gladness, and of sending gifts one another, and to the poor.“ So during this time we give gifts, eat and drink (often to excess), donate charity to the poor, read from the megillah (the Scroll of Esther), and make a ton of noise! In Israel, and sometimes elsewhere, some wear masks, dress in colorful costumes, and perform in raucous parades (Adloyada).
So this year we celebrate Purim with this colorful children’s book from our Historical Curriculum Collection, Here Come the Purim Players!, written by Barbara Cohen, illustrated by Beverly Brodsky, and published in New York by Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Books in 1984. In this story, a colorful troupe of local Purim Players parade into the ghetto of Prague to enact the story of Esther at Reb Zalman’s house. Locals are chosen to perform the main rolls – red-headed Nachum as King Ahasuerus; young Anshel as Queen Esther; Pavel the Fishmonger as Haman, the evil viceroy; Reb Yisroel as the brave and stalwart Mordecai. The Jews of Prague cheer and clap as the play moves along, with a final grand cheer at the end as Mordecai proclaims that on the 14th day of Adar.”all Jews will honor Queen Esther, who saved our people, with a joyful feast … Jews everywhere, now and forevermore, shall eat and drink and sing and dance and send charity to the poor.”
Barbara Cohen is an award-winning children’s book author, including a 1983 National Jewish Book Award for King of the Seventh Grade and an American Library Association (ALA) Notable Book award for Yussel’s Prayer. Beverly Brodsky is a noted abstract painter and educator, which she runs parallel to her career as a children’s book illustrator. Her collaboration with Cohen on Gooseberries to Oranges was named a 1982 ALA Notable Book, and her own book The Golem was a 1976 ALA Notable Book and a 1977 Caldecott Honor Book. Here Come the Purim Players! itself received a 1984 Cooperative Children’s Book Center Choices recognition from the CCBC at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

HAPPY PURIM!
