Great list! I’d also add Keshet, a US-based LGBTQ Jewish organization that “works for full equality of LGBTQ Jews and our families in Jewish life” by training Jewish communities to be more queer-inclusive, providing resources and events for queer Jews, as well as advocating for queer rights on both a state-by-state and national level.

#keshet is pretty cool #i was active with them for a bit #jewish #save

Whenever someone praises "boy in the striped pajamas" i get so angry that I combust. I HATE YOUR STUPID FUCKING WHITE SAVIOR, HISTORICALLY INNACURATE, HOLOCAUST FANFICTION. "Oh it was so sad when the German boy went into the gas chamber" was it not sad when the millions of jews went into the gas chambers??? You only felt that way for the German boy???

*turns you into a fish who has neither fins nor scales and is therefore not kosher and thus will never get the mitzvah of being blessed before eating*

Harvey Milk understood intersectionality

… and now the Queer community is SPITTING on his legacy by attacking Queer Jews, and coalitioning with far-right religious extremists

Harvey Milk was a gay Jewish civil rights leader in San Francisco. He was the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California, as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

On November 10, 1978 (10 months after being sworn into office), Harvey Milk was assassinated by a far-right religious extremist named Dan White.

In the months leading up to Harvey Milk's murder at the hands of a religious extremist, Harvey Milk gave his famous "Hope" speech. In his speech, he talks about the intersectional "Us's" who need to work together to overcome bigotry.

Now the Queer Community is SPITTING on Harvey Milk's legacy by coalitioning NOT with other "Us's", but instead with Hamas, the Houthis, and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

These terrorist organizations are all FAR-RIGHT RELIGIOUS EXTREMIST CULTS.

These cults MURDER queer people.

These far-right religious extremist cults are a thousand times WORSE than far-right religious extremist cults like the Westboro Baptist Church that attack queer people across the US.

Hamas is a CULT that MURDERS queer Gazans. Hamas throws queer people off buildings, stones queer people to death, and shoots queer people in the head.

The Houthis are a CULT that just CRUCIFIED several gay men for being gay.

And the Islamic Republic of Iran is a CULT that TORTURES queer people to death and EXECUTES them for being gay. The Islamic Republic also MURDERS women for the "crime" of showing their hair in public, or even wearing their Hijab "wrong."

And these are the FAR-RIGHT RELIGIOUS EXTREMIST CULTS that the Queer Community is getting into bed with.

These are the FAR-RIGHT RELIGIOUS EXTREMIST CULTS that the Queer Community are uplifting.

And in doing so, the Queer Community is SPITTING on Harvey Milk's legacy.

Harvey Milk, a gay Jewish man, did not GIVE HIS LIFE FOR YOUR FREEDOMS so that you could turn around and attack Queer Jews.

You Hamasniks are PERVERTING the Queer Rights Movement.

You are acting as a TROJAN HORSE, allowing people aligned with far-right religious extremist cults into Queer Spaces.

Here is the text of Harvey Milk's "Hope" speech.

THIS is how you do intersectionality, you bigots.

LEARN FROM OUR QUEER ELDERS. AND WAKE THE FUCK UP.

"Somewhere in Des Moines or San Antonio there is a young gay person who all of a sudden realizes that he or she is gay; knows that if their parents find out they will be tossed out of the house, their classmates will taunt the child, and the Anita Bryant's and John Briggs' are doing their part on TV. "And that child has several options: staying in the closet, and suicide. And then one day that child might open the paper that says 'Homosexual elected in San Francisco' and there are two new options: the option is to go to California, or stay in San Antonio and fight. Two days after I was elected I got a phone call and the voice was quite young. It was from Altoona, Pennsylvania. And the person said 'Thanks'. And you've got to elect gay people; so that thousands upon thousands like that child know that there is hope for a better world; there is hope for a better tomorrow. Without hope, not only gays, but those who are blacks, the Asians, the disabled, the seniors, the Us's; without hope the Us's give up. "I know that you can't live on hope alone, but without it, life is not worth living. And you, and you, and you, and you have got to give them hope."

I think there's something fundamentally broken inside you if you think committing the heinous crime of rape is an "act of resistance".

hey guys

let’s uh

let’s not spread misinformation about the israeli palestine conflict on social media to make ourselves feel political and activist-y and woke? please?

this is not jewish people vs. muslim people. this is not a religious war.

israelis are not evil genociders who are trying to wipe out the palestinian race.

palestinians are not terrorists. hamas are terrorists but palestine as a whole is not.

nobody deserves to die. we shouldn’t be saying that all zionists should die. we shouldn’t be saying that anyone who’s pro israel should die or that anyone who’s pro palestine should die. really, we shouldn’t be wishing death on anyone, and we shouldn’t be pro-anything but peace.

both sides are in the right and both sides are in the wrong. NOBODY should be dying.

do you really want to help the innocent people caught in the crossfire? actually do your research instead of attacking people for trying to have empathy for the other side. actually find it in your heart to want freedom and life for ALL people. not just palestinians. not just israelis. EVERYONE. that’s the only way this war will ever end.

it’s the fact that so many people on here just mindlessly “root for” palestine while completely ignoring why israel is doing what it’s doing, or vice versa. it’s ridiculous and hypocritical. EVERYONE in gaza is suffering. everyone. not just the side that’s the most talked about online in your little discord/tumblr bubbles. this conflict won’t be solved by putting flags in your description or wearing a “from the river to the sea” t shirt. stop making people’s lives a social media campaign. stop acting like you know everything about the conflict when you haven’t even talked to a single person who lives in gaza right now and is enduring this.

actually do research somewhere besides fucking tumblr, and stop posting fear-mongering, lie-spreading shit. or else you are making this whole thing even worse.

The second failed Trump assassination is just another instance of a soulless cash-grab sequel with no new ideas

The amount of time antizionists spend talking about Theodore Herzl: a lot of time

The amount of time Zionist Jews spend talking about Theodore Herzl: not a lot of time to be honest

applesauce42069-deactivated2024

Of course Theodore Herzl used colonialist language in his interpretation of Zionism. He was living among Europeans in the colonial era. That was his intellectual milieu. And that’s why he sucks and I don’t care what he has to say. I have never read his writings. People recognize the contribution he made to mobilizing a Zionist movement in 1800s Europe, which launched the events that eventually led to a later movement that was actually involved in the creation of the state of Israel - but no one ever like sat down and taught me Herzl’s word, because very few people care. That’s just not what Zionism is about to me. But yeah sure I guess Herzl using the word “colonial” is an effective way to convince people that all Zionism bad in one Instagram slide or less.

applesauce42069-deactivated2024

I don’t think that colonial language nor colonial acts (ethnic cleansing, land theft, genocide) are ok. And you can say that I do because I care about my ancestral homeland but that just won’t make it true.

Something a Zionist (Herzl) said in 1902: "You are being invited to help make history. It doesn’t involve Africa, but a piece of Asia Minor; not Englishmen but Jews… How, then, do I happen to turn to you since this is an out-of-the-way matter for you? How indeed? Because it is something colonial.”

Something a Zionist (Eliachar) said in 1947: "As the indigenous population of Palestine, we demand the restitution of our rights, the abolition of the White Paper of 1939 and all it stands for and the opening of the gates to all Jews in need of a home, whether from East or West. Not wanted anywhere — undesirables everywhere — this germ of restlessness and despair is eating us up root and branch."

so you gotta at least acknowledge that there are a variety things that are happening here, and you can't just take into account the ones that are convenient for your narrative. sorry.
