anyway

#and yet. sure does seem like most lz's nowadays are lz in name only huh?#like i understand what this year has done to people but #just as the az's have gotten dramatically more extreme so have the z's #and the lz's dropped the l #except for like a small handful of ppl i know #like m*ig said #a lot of people go around saying 'of course i don't support all of isr's actions'#and then sure can never be found speaking against isr's actions #anyway tldr everyone sucks and im very tired

as i was saying

#necessary' sticker down from a wall #so that's fucked #it's all fucked.#and there's no room really even for me to express what i want to that's actually AZ #or at least neged isr policy #like the ongoing n*kba in wb #i see stuff about that every day on insta bc i have curated my feed such that i am receiving that info #but AZs don't even talk about that #and do you know why #bc a lot of them don't know details about anything happening on the ground #they know only broad strokes and express themselves in bombastic tweets and memes #it's ironic bc violent s*ttlers actually do fulfill their stereotype about how isr*elis see 🍉 people #on that note actually im glad they don't talk about it bc if they did they'd paint all isra*lis w that brush #oh yosi from dumbass hilltop ancient j*dea sheep cosplay outpost is a violent sob who is ethnically cleansing 🍉 villages bc he and his #buddies got bored of pretending to know how to shepherd?#and he wants all 🍉ians gone bc he's racist and k*hanist?#clearly all isr think that way #/s #but fucking hell - the eye dee eff and the cosplay sheep yosis are using the cover of war to distract everyone from the fucking aggressive #ongoing n*kba #and i call it that bc im not speaking only of s*ttlement building #which is ... complicated #but specifically pushing 🍉ians out of towns and villages where they live #which is dif from s building bc many s's exist alongside p towns #and yes their presence causes issues and there's water stuff but this is. a whole different thing #also j*nin - i am less knowledgeable about that but its also quite bad from what i can see #but yeah i rly feel like no one is talking about this except these few little orgs explicitly dedication to protective presence #ALSO #this is absolutely a thing z's can talk about and advocate for #cause if you're an lz this is theoretically smth u rly oppose right?

i feel like a lot for me is clicking and i just can't with the AZ world anymore. the response to the p*ger thing has been balls to the walls insane

#im not speaking about people criticizing it in general #but rather the people claiming this was a massacre of civilians and that this is like one of the most evil things isr has ever done #bc like.#in a war characterized by civilian death this had actually an insanely low ratio of civilian to combatant death #and yes it's awful that a child died #but that is something that happens in war #and it's just becoming clear the my objection to the war in aza - the steep civilian death toll - is not most people's objection #bc we see a military action that killed i think what? 2 civilians?#and the response is that it's evil beyond belief and precedent #and. like.#that shows that your issue was never about civilians killed #it's that you disagree with the goal of destroying h*mas and don't see that as a just cause of war #bc ultimately a lot of these people are h*mas stans #like which we knew #but it goes beyond that. like #there are so many people who see all isr people as non-civilians #and all h*zbollah fighters as civilians #and it's just fucked beyond belief #i've known for months i can no longer organize in mainstream pro 🍉 spaces #but i'd thought the ✡️ ones were still better #and now im just. i don't want to go to AZ shuls anymore #an AZ yeshiva is having a retreat in nov and i don't even wanna go bc the roshei yeshiva have said some wack ass shit #im pulling myself out of these spaces #and that's been since before the p*ger thing #i haven't been back to an AZ shul i used to go to since october #bc i was there on oct 7 #and there was a new member event and everyone was acting happy and normal #yes the rabbi said good and normal things before dancing but the fucking vibe. idk. i just can't #with the whole scene. the whole everything #im still with kl*ztronike for now but that's rough too. went to one in october and had to pull down a 'resist colonial power by any means

i don't want to approach with curiousity anymore i want to cut people off

#(if you can see this this is NOT about you)#and not even really about any friends just... aquaintances #or in one case someone who i've given way too much patience bc she directed my favorite production of a play i love

This too shall pass. Bad times. Good times. Through it all we'll keep going.

are you tired of it? are you tired of it? are you ever tired of it?

#and by it i mean all of the above #and by the above i mean - gestures widely

why do we say baruch dayan emes when there's no truth and no judgment?

#yes this is about hersh #bc what i rly wanted to type was 'fuck' and not [platitude]#and im just. its so exhausting. all of it. why won't it stop.#why am i supposed to bless a god that allows all of all of this?

my mom and i are sharing a car rn and collectively are gonna have put over 800 miles on it in the space of like 9 days i feel bad for it 😭

#i didn't choose the road trip life but the road trip life chose me #also if you expand the time frame to two weeks its almost 1200 miles #poor thing needs time off

naomi, chonen, and yentl all are very invested in torah learning -- for naomi and yentl, they push back on their communities' gender norms in order to get to yeshiva, and for chonen he's the star student -- but they all fall in love and get sidetracked by that

there are a lot of cringy things online but thing with white people having a thin blue line profile pic but if you click there's small print anti-thin-blue line stuff has got to be one of the worse examples

okayyyyy but good luck babe is so naomichelle coded

The Great Synagogue of Constanța is a disused former Jewish synagogue in the city of Constanța, Romania. [750x907]

“Disused” = purposefully destroyed.

The way people talk about Jews who were mass murdered, it’s like they were some magical fantasy race that flitted off over the sea we know not why.

my toxic trait is i think i could deradicalize jk rowling if i got like ten hours to talk to her irl

עוּלָּא אָמַר: יוֹם שֶׁבִּיטֵּל הוֹשֵׁעַ בֶּן אֵלָה פְּרוֹסְדָיוֹת שֶׁהוֹשִׁיב יָרׇבְעָם בֶּן נְבָט עַל הַדְּרָכִים שֶׁלֹּא יַעֲלוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל לָרֶגֶל, וְאָמַר:

לְאֵיזֶה שֶׁיִּרְצוּ יַעֲלוּ.

Ulla said: The fifteenth of Av was the day on which King Hoshea, son of Ela, canceled the guards that Jeroboam, son of Nevat, placed on the roads so that the Jews would not ascend to Jerusalem for the pilgrim Festival. And Hoshea, son of Ela, said

that they may ascend to wherever they wish, i.e., they may go to Jerusalem, Bethel, or Dan.

It's crazy to me that Kehila Kedosha Janina is the only Romaniote Jewish synagogue left in the entirety of the Western hemisphere, located in Manhattan. Romaniote Jews number some 57,000 worldwide, with 78% of them living in Israel. Romaniote Jews are not Sephardi or Ashkenazi, and constitute the oldest diaspora community in Europe, and have a presence in Greece dating to around 300 BCE, or around 2,300 years of recorded history. The Greek city of Thessaloniki is famous for having been a majority Jewish city for five centuries, the only such city in all of Europe.

I don't really know where I'm going with this, other than to note that it's sad how Kehila Kedosha Janina struggles to form a minyan every Shabbat, and that their distinct minhagim are being practiced less than ever. The history of the Jews in Greece is a fascinating one, and I feel it should get more attention and more life.

the thing where you're like "i think attacking isr*eli civilians is bad" and the person you're talking to goes "okay WELL attacking pal*stinian civilians is bad" and its like yes but we both already agree with that statement. what is your point
