about me 🌈🤎
~~~~
🤍 hi there! i'm nova/ariel (נובה/אריאל), and welcome to my jewposting sideblog where i will be posting stuff having to do with judaism and israel! i am over 21, jewish, israeli, ukrainian, and american. i have deep ties to israel especially, with most of my family currently living or having lived there. i have also lived there myself and am an israeli citizen. i have family from iran as well.
🤍 i don't feel like i align neatly into any specific sect of judaism. in terms of practice i'd say i'm a mix of conservative and chabad, but i'm an avid tanach learner and enjoy examining orthodox and chasidic teachings.
🤍 i am a graduate of a major university in the united states under federal investigation for how severe its antisemitism has gotten. i will not be disclosing which university this is, but just know i have experienced firsthand what has been going on in terms of these issues.
🤍 i block freely, and i don't owe an explanation to anyone about who i block or why. i do so for my own comfort, and you're welcome to block me as well. i don't care.
🤍 i am auDHD, multiply disabled, and SEVERELY mentally ill. if i accidentally say something questionable, please TELL ME! i want to do better, so please don't pull that "you know what you did" shit. i promise you i don't. additionally, i have the "scary" disorders you've probably been told are evil and dangerous. if you say ableist shit to or around me, you're getting blocked on sight.
🤍 I AM NOT CHRONICALLY ONLINE. i am VERY busy balancing two jobs and full time graduate school, and as such i don't have much time to be on tumblr. i only get to see a very small sliver of what's happening in jumblr because of this. if i say or do something seemingly oblivious to what others have said about it, that's likely because i literally haven't seen it and don't know. please fill me in, KINDLY, if it happens!
🤍 want more info on me? see my carrd here!
🤍 the character you see on this profile is one of my own! i love him very much and i hope you do too. all things retro and nostalgic are huge sources of comfort for me. :3

things to know 🌈🤎

🤍 i am not pro-israel, nor am i pro-hamas. i don't give a shit if you're pro-palestinian. i have a problem with the hamas supporters/antisemites. i've hated bibi (netanyahu for you non-israelis) long before this conflict broke out, as do many other israelis and jews alike. i don't agree with a lot of the shit he says or how he is handling the current situation. i hate both sides of this conflict. imo, a PERMANENT ceasefire should be honored (this does not mean hamas consistently violating the ceasefires set in place; october 7th WAS a ceasefire violation).
🤍 so many of my family members are currently in the IDF being forced to fight in a war they never had a say about, and i don't know who out of them is still alive. i don't think the IDF's intent is to completely annihilate gaza, because trust me, they could have turned the entire strip into a fucking parking lot MONTHS ago. that said, i don't like what bibi and his posse are making them do over there. they're mostly just scared college kids forced into combat.
🤍 if you believe that jews control the media, that jew = zionist and vice versa, that israeli = jew and vice versa, that kahanist = zionist/jew and vice versa, that jews are responsible for all the world's problems, that all jews and/or israelis are evil and want to murder palestinians, that antisemitism isn't real, that october 7th was justified/didn't happen, that hamas are "freedom fighters," or anything similar, get the fuck off my blog. i don't need antisemites here. similarly, if you cannot have a conversation with a jewish person without bringing up the i/p conflict, you are also not welcome here.
🤍 i don't consider myself to be a zionist, nor do i consider myself to be an anti-zionist. you can call me whatever helps you sleep better at night. but as an ashkenazi jewish israeli, i'm not cool with people trying to justify the largest massacre of jews since the HOLOCAUST, or calling for the destruction of the only country i've felt at home in. i don't give a shit if it's a one or two state solution or what, i just want peace. i don't want anyone else killed or maimed on either side. i have no issue with advocating for and supporting the palestinians OR criticizing israel as long as antisemitism isn't thrown in.
🤍 the second anyone as a non-jew starts saying what they think antisemitism is or isn't, they're getting blocked. if you wouldn't say something about any other marginalized group (POC, queer, disabled, neurodivergent, mentally ill, homeless, etc), don't say it about jews. and if you would, you're DEFINITELY not welcome here. you don't get to tell ME what MY lived experience is.
🤍 this is the ONLY blog i will be posting political things on. do not bring politics from this blog on to any of my other blogs, or you will be blocked. i keep my blogs separate for a reason.
🤍 I BLOCK LIBERALLY. if you say something which bothers me in any way, don't respect a response, you are getting blocked. attempting to evade my blocks will get you reported for harassment.
