About me & blog

As Halloween approaches, I’ve been seeing many very talented makeup artists recreate the face of the bride in Tim Burton’s “The Corpse Bride.” I thought this would be a good oppertunity to make some art and remind one and all that the “The Corpe Bride” (known in some tellings as “The Finger” or “The Demon in the Tree”) is a beloved Jewish folktale. Folklorist Howard Schwartz traces the orgins of “The Finger” to 16th century Levant. Aftrer hundreds of years of retelling, the story, like all folktales, has undergone many iterations and also became highly informed by the violence of life in the Pale of Settlement (specifically towards women and young brides).

yeah of course me and my mutuals are besties. no, we haven’t ever talked, why would you even think that?

The way settlers trying to be allies talk about Native genocide like it worked always gets on my fucking nerves to be honest. We're still here. Just because YOU were never taught about what happened doesn't mean nobody else remembers it. Also stop acting like a victim of the american education system you can learn from places other than your sixth grade propaganda machine. Your understanding of history going from "we ate turkey together and then they just mysteriously vanished" to "white people came and killed literally everyone and they're all gone now" is Barely an improvement

It's just so........ we're still here. We're even human people in the 21st century who use the internet and everything. I'm on your websites making posts. Shocking I know. Try to avoid forgetting this

[ID: tags from @sepulchral-pulchritude that read, "#hope this is ok to rb #also this is so relatable to me Jewishly. esp as someone who loves museums and has travelled around europe... #since basically every country has expelled the jews at least once there's always shit in the history museum or at historical monuments #'this is where the jewish graveyard used to be. unfortunately after the expulsion in XXXX there were no more jews and we paved it over' #'now it's a historical church site of the famed infant jesus statuette' #'the jews once lived in this country. unfortunately they are all gone now. #like bitch!!! we are still here!! i know bc i went to friday night services!!! #also. always the passive voice. the jews left. the jews are no longer with us. the jewish population decreased in size. UGH. #i know it's not the same as how native people are treated in the usa. i just relate." /end ID]

Yeah no literally this is why I feel a lot of solidarity with jewish people. It's the same type of shit over and over from the same white christian bastards

May I say I find it interesting how many people aren't reblogging this version. And why is that. Passing the mic

One of the most insane currently popular flavors of antisemitism has got to be the “how dare you evil Jews steal our sacred Christian/Muslim theology/culture/holy sites and bastardize them for your nefarious (((Zionist))) purposes” when the theology/culture/holy sites in question are all in fact taken from Jewish religion, tradition, and culture. This bizarre belief that Judaism belongs to everyone but the Jews.

In light of these* previous posts, I am rerunning these polls. Please vote however they apply to you, and spread them for reach even if they don't apply to you. Thanks!!

Hey self-identified Jewish Zionists, what is your ideal hope for the future of Israel and Palestine?

Two State Solution (fully separate)

One State Solution that is Israel + full civil rights for everyone already there

One [New] State Solution with full civil rights for everyone

Federated One State Solution (i.e., one country with multiple states)

Two State Solution, but with an overarching coalition (e.g. A Land for All)

A Greater Israel; "Palestine" is dissolved and the people relocated

I am fundamentally opposed to states existing at all, so something else

Three State Solution

The status quo but peaceful

Israel stays, but Palestinians are offered RoR AND full citizenship/civil rights

Other options? (explain in notes)

ONLY answer this if you are Jewish and self-identify as a Zionist! By which I mean: you voluntarily describe yourself as a Zionist. Other people describing your views that way is not sufficient. Simply believing in Jewish self-determination in eretz Yisrael is not sufficient (despite that arguably being the baseline for all Zionist ideologies regardless of what other beliefs are embedded in them) - you MUST actively choose to label yourself as a Zionist. If you are a lukewarm Zionist but are fine with it under certain conditions, that's a personal judgment call. Feel free to answer this poll, the non-/post-Zionist/other poll, or both (if it changes).

If you click that button, you are saying under oath that YOU 🫵 are a Zionist 🙂

Please answer your IDEAL solution, not necessarily what you think would be the most likely or most practical, but your idealized outcome. I intend to reblog each of these with a second poll that asks what your preferred pragmatic solution would be after posting.

Everyone please be respectful of the folks replying to this poll, as with the others. There are lots of other places to debate people or discourse, but this post is not one of them. My goal here is simply to gather information and others' perspectives, not to argue or deconstruct them.

Now that we have the IDEALIZED solution polls up, I am going to reblog with polls asking about your PRAGMATIC solution preferences. All prior boundaries in the original post above apply.

What do I mean by "pragmatic"? Well, I've run into a lot of folks who may have a certain long long term view of what they think should happen in an idealized world, but who know that (for example) we currently live in a nation-state system and that a solution must be found well before humanity moves past the need for states. Therefore, while the state system should ultimately be replaced with something better, for now, they think a two state solution would be the most likely to end the cycle of violence and create a safe territory for the most people the quickest. Obviously this is just one example! There are a lot of folks on all sides of the political spectrum with thoughts about what an ideal world would look like versus a more likely immediate practical solution. Here is where you vote for that latter view.

I love seeing your explanations, so please do elaborate in the notes if you feel so inclined!

Reblogging because it occurred to me that it might be helpful to have the other polls linked, in case they get fully separated again:

Anti-Zionist poll

Non-Zionist/Post-Zionist/Etc. poll

Can leftists on the internet please stop suggesting Judaism is just a religion, or just a racial group?

It literally predates modern conceptions of both religion and race. ‘Religion’ as commonly understood in the West is largely an outgrowth of the Reformation, followed by the Enlightenment, which saw a change in the meaning of ‘belief’ to ‘intellectual agreement with a set of doctrines’, and developed an understanding of ‘religion’ that primarily centers around doctrinal commitments. When applied to non-western ‘religions’ (and, to a degree, when applied to non-Protestant christianities) this conception often forces a mold that does not fit the thing in question (in this case, that thing being Judaism).

Judaism also crosses modern conceptions of racial and ethnic lines, because Jews have lived in a very widespread array of regions, usually had some level of intertwining with local populations, and developed unique Jewish cultures in various diaspora communities.

Imposing the concept of ‘religion’ onto Judaism, imposing the concept of ‘race’ onto Judaism, is to disregard much of Judaism to make it fit with categories that are foreign to it.

Mordecai Kaplan was right: Judaism is a civilization. Daniel Boyarin was right: Judaism is a people. It cannot be reduced to the category of religion, nor of race, nor purely of ethnicity in a straightforward sense.

i think it's pretty concerning that the Free Palestine movement in the US, while well-intentioned, has completely adopted radically right-wing strategies.

"i did my own research" you sound like your anti-vax grandfather on facebook

"they're trying to keep this quiet/they control the government, media" as if this conspiracy hasn't been the main conservative talking point for the past decade

"zionist" is literally used the same way right-wingers use the word "woke"

oh, and of course, the antisemitism. who could forget that (leftists, of course)

Holocaust denial is highest among Gen Z democrats? What??

i've seen leftists pivot to becoming Russian apologists once the US started giving aid to Israel

"Honestly, Trump might not be that bad" - The most hardcore leftist I know. WHAT???

Just an observation.

if-i-am-not-for-me

Because hate of Jews over rules everything else. They hate us more than they care about literally anything else.

Another Jew on here commented that people were going onto Wikipedia and removing references to certain people's Jewishness, and I just saw for myself that this is true. As a Jew and a fan of old movies and history, I was looking up a list of Jewish actors on Wikipedia. I saw Tina Louise (you know, from Gilligan's Island) pop up. So I popped over to her actual page on Wikipedia. And there were zero references to her being Jewish. So I hopped on over to the Wayback Machine (bless you, Internet Archive) and put in the URL for her Wikipedia page. And wouldn't ya know it: before 10/7, there were at least 3 to 5 references to her Jewishness at any given time on her Wikipedia page. Wtf is happening.
