Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.

Kids books is probably not the best way to word it, you can enjoy them at every age, including your childhood, as you get older you may find new truths in them, but they're still good for any age.

Friendly reminder that Antisemitism is a term coined SPECIFICALLY to mean Jew hatred. Every Arab and Middle Eastern person calling themselves a semite as a deflection when someone calls them Antisemitic has a fundamental misunderstanding of the term, and a deeply rooted hatred of Jews that they won't care if they're wrong, only that they hurt Jews in the process. Semitic is used to refer to a group of languages. A semite is someone who belongs to those who speak said languages, Antisemitism, AGAIN, IS SPECIFICALLY TO MEAN JEW HATRED! THAT IS ALL IT IS! Stop trying to take away our ability to identify hatred and then attempting to turn it back on us saying that WE'RE Antisemitic bc you're "semitic"

I can't believe home depot literally produced a wildly successful science fiction musical and we all just pretend it didn't happen. on one hand yes it had a boring white guy main character but like.... home depot just... Made it? And it had shit ton of box office sales? and no one even talks about this. this is like avatar (2009) all over again

[indigobuntings]

OK so. After a lot of frantic googling I realized this was all a dream. home depot did not in fact produce a wildly successful science fiction musical. I was on allergy meds and took a nap and my brain simply prophesized this. slightly disappointed because I wanted to watch it.

I don’t watch Once Upon A Time but every clip I’ve seen is like

Quasimodo: “And where is the amulet?” Edgar from Aristocats: “Safe and sound I assure you. Isn’t that right, Lightning McQueen?” *the sounds of revving comes out of the shadows*

I feel like a lot of people act as if the ancient Israelites are an extinct culture when we (Jews and Samaritans) are literally still here. Jews and Samaritans didn't "replace" the Israelites, but are a continuation of that culture.

And I think the idea that the ancient Israelites are an extinct culture feeds the supercessionist mindset of the general population with regards to claims on religious texts and practices, indigenaity of Jews and even Jewish identity itself.

[the-library-alcove]

Regarding that second bit, I want to "yes, and" it, because that's exactly what is foundational to beliefs as disparate as Islamism to Black Hebrew Israelites to British Israelism to the Mormons and more:

The Jews aren't the "real Jews", and they are, and these groups all hate Jews to greater or lesser degrees out of resentment that we won't lie down and die so they can take our heritage and history for themselves.

What is the fetish that fan creators have for making Jewish characters eat pork

[sputnikcentury]

They’re always so smug about it too like “tee hee it’s a sign that he’s conflicted in his faith! He’s assimilated!”

Shut up, he would not fucking eat that.

[strive-to-be-human]

It's cuz that's all they know about Jewishness. People "get bar-mitzvahed" and they are forbidden from eating pork. To not "get bar-mitzvahed" or to choose to eat pork is transgressive... But also guilt-inducing!

It's just so ignorant. You become bar-mitzvah whether you have a public ceremony about it or not and people engage with kashrut in all sorts of ways.

Truly, in the most cynical core of my Jewish heart, I think this goyishe obsession with making Jewish characters eat treyf is the same as it ever was. Did you know that there are rules for kashrut for plain, unprocessed milk? Not milk-products. Straight milk. And this is because - I kid you not - in the Middle Ages, Christians would go through the weird labor of milking their pigs and sneaking the sow's milk into Jewish milk barrels. There's some perverse fascination with making a person do something they don't want to do. (You can see this also with people tricking vegans into eating animal products or that infamous post about someone vending full-sugar soda to "skinny girls" who order diet.)

But it's especially egregious to do this to Jewish characters because of the millenia of history of real people doing real bullshit like this to real Jews.
