Imagine being the gays at a pride event in 2004 living their lives when someone grabs the microphone and announces to the room that Ronald Reagan was pronounced dead. Can you even imagine the hype, the celebration, the pure elation
This is the Pride Month that It will happen. I feel it in my gay bones
give the Gen Alpha kiddies a little treat, let it be this Sunday so that 6/7 becomes even more hilarious to them/annoying to their parents
I’m gonna propose “I guess you haven’t read the silmarillion then :/” as a default response to anyone not understanding a reference to something obscure. even if it’s not remotely Tolkien related. I want to build up a perception that perhaps the sum total of human knowledge is contained in the silmarillion
This is the polar opposite of this:
At a time where jewish groups are being banned from pride events, you do not get to use Anne Franke, a dead jew murdered for being jewish before she could ever come out, as a puppet for whatever queer rights message you want to share.
You do not get to profit, financially or attention wise or another way, off of a *potentially* queer jew whilst we are banned from pride events.
We do not know if she was questioning her sexuality but ultimately straight or if she was actually queer because she was killed for the crime of existing as a jew before she could come out. Queer rights obviously matter. Anne Franke is not the person you should be using.
You need to protect alive queer jews. You need to love all jews, not just the dead ones.
I've had to delete multiple comments missing the point of the post
"But they banned zionists not jews", they banned jewish organizations, who refused to say they disavowed israel. That's like asking a local Chinese diaspora group to disavow the CCP or they can't be at pride.
The reason why its antisemitic is because its treating jewish organizations as guilty until proven innocent. Its treating jewish organizations as somehow being responsible for a foreign government's actions. Jewish organizations have to say again and again that they do not support the Israeli government to be allowed to exist in public. Its an extra step that non jewish organizations do not face. That's the antisemitism of it all. No other group was forced to disavow israel to attend pride.
revelation i had as told to me by a classmate: people know the gaza war isn’t a genocide. they know that’s not what the word means, they know legally it has no legs to stand on.
they just don’t care.
they just want to say something that sounds shocking and powerful and what it actually means, the reason for its creation, is secondary to its usage. the goal is to see israel punished and they’ll go to any lengths to make that happen, crossing any moral, ethical, and legal bounds in their way.
I once said I thought it was bad, war crimes for almost certain, but not genocide.
The response I got was "then why does it matter so much what word you use? Its still terrible and evil."
Which just about sums it up. Meanings don't matter, only vibes.
gawd damn if you hear a jewish prayer or saying that mentions Israel or Jerusalem and immediately go "ewww" I'm assuming you know nothing about the Israel/Palestine war and are anti-semitic.
Essentially despite acknowledging that the UAE gives lots of money to Libya and is allied with them, somehow its still apparently Israel's fault that people in the land flotilla were arrested in Libya by Libya authorities because israel has its roots (polite way of saying tentacles) in every country.
Its very clear that she means that jews control the world, not israel.
i'm legitimately curious, and struggling with a lot of thoughts relating to the war in Gaza. what do you think of the Hannibal Directive?
You've probably seen people online spouting nonsense like "Israel killed most of its own people on October 7th. The Hannibal Directive proves it. Hamas didn't do the massacre - Israel did."
Let's go over what the Hannibal Directive actually was, its status on 10/7/23, and how stories about it have been dishonestly spun.
The Hannibal Directive was issued in 1986. Here's what it actually said:
"א. בזמן מחטף הופכת המשימה העיקרית חילוץ חיילינו מידי החוטפים גם במחיר של פגיעה או פציעת חיילינו. ב. במידה ויזוהו החוטפים והחטופים ולא נענו לקריאות לעצור, יש לבצע ירי נק"ל (נשק קל), על מנת להוריד את החוטפים לקרקע, או לעצור אותם. ג. אם לא עצר הרכב או החוטפים, יש לירות לעברם ירי נשק קל בבודדת, במכוון, על מנת לפגוע בחוטפים גם אם המשמעות פגיעה בחיילינו."
"A. During an abduction, the main mission becomes rescuing our soldiers from the captors, even at the cost of harming or injuring our own soldiers. B. If the captors and captives are identified and do not heed calls to stop, use small arms fire to bring down the captors or halt them. C. If the vehicle or captors do not stop, use aimed small arms fire to hit the captors, even if that means harming our own soldiers."
This isn't particularly controversial in principle. A captured soldier becomes a massive piece of political leverage, a tool for extortion, and a severe threat to national security - and accepting the risk of injuring your own people during a rescue attempt is a standard, tragic reality of combat. The underlying logic is standard across professional militaries.
Note that the directive as written applied specifically to soldiers. That distinction matters when we get to October 7.
From its inception, the directive was controversial within Israel. Some commanders refused to pass it down, as they were permitted to do under the Spirit of the IDF booklet. In 2011, Chief of Staff Benny Gantz clarified that the directive did not authorize deliberately shooting a captured soldier - it aimed to stop terrorists from escaping with them, not to kill the hostage. The directive was revised several times, with legal reviews consistently recommending every effort be made to avoid harming soldiers who were hostages.
In 2016, Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot officially cancelled it.
It was long gone on 10/7/23.
A Haaretz investigation, though, identified three specific instances where local commanders invoked a Hannibal-style order at points along the Gaza border: at the Erez crossing, the Re'im army base, and the Nahal Oz outpost.
The orders were primarily aimed at striking the gaps in the border fence and vehicles moving back into Gaza to stop the mass transfer of hostages. Because Hamas was taking civilian hostages, not soldiers -local commanders were adapting a soldier-focused doctrine on the fly, in chaos, without official authorization. That context matters for understanding what actually happened.
So what does the evidence actually confirm?
The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry confirmed at least 14 Israelis likely killed by IDF forces. The Be'eri incident (where a tank commander ordered fire on a house holding hostages, killing 13 of 14) is the most documented single case.
These deaths are real, they are serious, and the officers responsible should face accountability - that's the only acceptable reaction to a friendly fire incident.
At no point has any investigation found that the IDF deliberately targeted Israeli civilians.
Every documented IDF-caused death on October 7 occurred in the context of combat decisions made to stop Hamas from dragging hostages back into Gaza. These decisions were chaotic, unauthorized, and in some cases probably a bad call. A commander who orders fire on a vehicle he believes contains Hamas fighters and accidentally kills Israelis in the process has made a bad decision, but he has not committed a premeditated massacre of his own people.
There is no evidence -NONE WHATSOEVER - that the IDF identified Israeli civilians and chose to kill them. This claim exists solely to launder the responsibility of Hamas (and others from Gaza) for the atrocities visited upon Israeli civilians on 10/7/23.
The total October 7 death toll was approximately 1,200 Israelis. That number is documented and forensically verified. The 14+ deaths caused accidentally by the IDF are worth investigating and accountability should be sought- but they are not an alternative explanation for the massacre.
That's how Hamas supporters spun it.
In July 2024, when Haaretz published an investigation into Hannibal-style orders at those three military sites on October 7, this was journalism. Israeli reporters, using IDF documents and soldier testimony, holding their own military accountable for specific decisions made in specific locations.
The article did not claim Israel caused most of the deaths. It did not claim Hamas was innocent. It reported on a real institutional failure at the Erez crossing, Re'im base, and Nahal Oz outpost.
Within two weeks, that article had been shared over 16,000 times on X, almost entirely by accounts using it to argue that Israel, not Hamas, was responsible for the October 7 massacre.
Hamas supporters have elevated this sort of dishonesty to an art form: they take legitimate accountability journalism, remove every qualifier, delete the specific scope, and present it as proof of something the article explicitly does not claim and try to make the IDF responsible for the crimes committed by Hamas and other Gazans.
The people doing this aren't engaging with the Haaretz investigation. They're borrowing its brand as a prop to make the absurd allegation seem credible. It isn't - and anyone who actually read the article knows that.
The claim that Israel killed its own people on October 7 isn't a good-faith misreading of a complicated story. It's a conspiracy theory.
It takes a documented atrocity with 1,200 named victims, forensic evidence, and survivor testimony, and replaces it with a fairy tale where the Jews did it to themselves.
That's not skepticism. That's not "asking questions."
The people spreading this libel aren't engaging with the Haaretz story or the UN or any of the investigations they pretend to cite without having read them. They're using the language of accountability journalism to run interference for a massacre.
~6,000 people including Hamas, other militant groups, and Gazan civilians burned families alive, took 251 hostages, and committed widespread torture and sexual violence on October 7. That happened. The Hannibal Directive didn't make it happen. Israel didn't make it happen. Hamas made it happen.
They filmed themselves doing it, they livestreamed it, they called their families to brag about it, they celebrated it in Gaza, their leaders praised it and promised to repeat it. They want the credit for their massacre.
Only western useful idiots have any doubt - and their invocation of the Hannibal directive is how you spot them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, jewish pain and poetry about our suffering. Wailing and gnashing of teeth. Got it.
Let’s talk jewish ANGER. Some of you are just a little too happy to sit by the river bank and watch your tears flow into the ocean. Demand people be better and stop pretending you believe in their games of “I care about you too” make believe.
Alicia Lapp is running for Governor of California and wants to deport all Zionists.
Later, she admits her problem is with "hebs"
She's a Republican.
She poses with a burning Israeli flag here.
Just a reminder: if you have burning hate towards a particular country that has absolutely nothing to do with you, if you hate everyone from that country, anything related to that country, if even just the mere mention of something related to the country sends you into a rage...
You're weird. Seek help.
Sinagoga Tiféret Israel, Caracas, Venezuela
Built over nine years, beginning in 1954 and ending with the official inauguration in 1963, Tiféret Israel is the central synagogue of the sephardic communities in Venezuela, consisting mostly of Jews from Morocco, but in later years also Syria and Egypt. It was built after the previous synagogue in El Conde was demolished to make space for the construction of the Avenida Bolívar.
"Opposing genocide isn't antisemitic," while technically being a true statement, implies that you have said "I oppose genocide" to which Jews have said "That is antisemitic." It is making a link between Jewish concern about antisemitism and support for genocide. Regardless of whether you think Israel's conduct in the Gaza Strip meets the threshold for genocide, you are implicitly encouraging your peers to connect Jews/Judaism with genocide. So, antisemitic
"opposing genocide isnt antisemitic" has the same vibes as "opposing terrorism isnt islamophobic" and "opposing child predators isnt homophobic" in this essay i will
It's also specifically a response to Jews calling out antisemitism in the first place.
Literally the only context in which that word salad of a sentence would occur is if you're talking about Israel in some way and someone says, "no, that's antisemitic."
It's an impressive move, because we already had "antizionism isn't antisemitism!"
And sure, that's an INCREDIBLY ridiculous statement. Like, OMG?! ALERT THE PRESS, THERE'S AN ENTIRE TOPIC YOU CAN TALK ABOUT WITHOUT EVER RISKING SAYING SOMETHING ANTISEMITIC??? Is antizionism also inherently never racist, misogynist, Islamophobic, ableist, etc?! YOU'VE SOLVED OPPRESSION!!!
But since everybody was pretending it WASN'T a ridiculous statement, there was no real need to take it to the next level. By rephrasing it to imply that the only reason anyone would ever accuse you of hating Jews was that you oppose genocide.
The true fucking BEAUTY of this move is that it is wildly antisemitic to genuinely believe there's a specifically Jewish movement in favor of genocide.
Like, yeah, THAT'S what the history of the past 200 years have shown us. Jews COMMIT genocide. Jews just loooove a good genocide.
It's so poetic and sad that they would do to others what was just done to them!
Sure, they haven't enslaved 26,000,000 people, or any people at all. They haven't built industrial death factories. They haven't killed 41% of the Palestinians on earth, or 66% of the people of Palestine. They haven't developed a massive propaganda system telling the world that Palestinians are the cause of all its problems. They haven't stripped Palestinian Israelis of their citizenship, their businesses, their jobs, or their bank accounts.
It's extremely antisemitic to erase the entire Holocaust, or claim that Jews are actually doing any of the above because "they're the real Nazis."
Defending themselves by huffily saying, "you just think I'm biased against Jews because I oppose genocide," is kind of an evil genius move.
if anyone ever asks why return of the jedi is my favourite star wars film i’ll just send them this gif
I think the funnier conclusion is that Luke did mean to physically kick the guy, missed, and then used the force to cover his fuckup.

I'm a firm Miranda and Shepard shipper, but Liara was my first Mass Effect love, and I've always loved the idea of lots of little blue children

do you know of a place called tel aviv. have you ever heard of this.
one day i’m gonna go to that lesbian club in haifa and reblog this post with a photo of the hot butch jewess i just made out with #manifesting
I still think it’s hilarious that the reason nobody ever figures out Superman’s secret identity or where he lives or what he does when he’s not saving the planet, is because he already told them all the Kryptonian stuff that can’t be tied to any of his human friends or family. I guarantee you the in-universe wikipedia article on Superman lists his name as Kal-El and the “personal life” section says that he lives full-time at his private fortress of solitude at the north pole. Nobody in the world looks at Clark Kent and thinks “oh my god, maybe he’s superman!” for the same reason nobody ever starts to suspect that their coworker who looks KINDA like Barack Obama is actually secretly Barack Obama – They know who Barack Obama is and know what he does and they know their coworker Greg is Greg and not Barack Obama. They have no reason to assume Barack Obama secretly moonlights as Greg The IT Guy at their workplace even though they’ve never seen Greg and Obama in the same place. At best, “Greg is secretly Obama” would be a running joke at the office, and the same is true at the Daily Planet. “Kal-El of Krypton, who lives in a CRYSTAL PALACE at the NORTH POLE and whose dayjob is SUPERMAN, sometimes puts on a suit and pretends to be a clumsy reporter and lives in a one-bedroom walkup in Metropolis” is a ridiculous concept to anyone who doesn’t already know it’s true

“Hey, that— that guy, in the corner, is that— is that Superman?”
Clark looks up from his computer at the new intern. “Oh, no,” he says. “You caught me.”
“Clark, you pull this shit every time, man,” his desk neighbor Steve says. “Shut the fuck up.”
“No, the kid’s right, I’m Superman,” Clark says. He gets out of his seat and cracks his back out. “I guess we’re gonna have a superhero fight.”
“Clark, sit back down.”
“Nope. Superhero fight.”
“Clark if you don’t sit the hell back down and finish your article by lunch I am going to tell Perry on you.”
Clark points at the intern. “You get off easy this time, buddy,” he says, and sits back down.
“So…” the intern says, very lost. “Uh…”
“That’s Clark,” a slightly older and more experienced intern says. “He’s Superman’s asshole twin.”
The funniest part is when Clark does this in front of Jimmy Olsen, who is just staring in disbelief as Clark talks about using his superpowers to help Ma Kent on the farm in a sarcastic tone of voice, when Jimmy knows for a fact it’s 100% true, that is what Clark did last weekend.
Intern: “Ahahahah Superman in Kansas tilling the fields at superspeed, that’s a good one. What, if the tractor breaks down, do you just pick it up and take it back to the barn?”
Clark: “Nah, between my ex-ray vision and my heat vision I can generally find whatever the problem is and do a spotweld if necessary so long as I know where to get the parts - once had to nip over to South Korea because I didn’t want to wait 6 weeks for the ship to get there.”
Intern: “Bahahaha classic, Clark you are so funny! Superman fixing tractors with his heat vision, oh that’s a good one.”
Jimmy: “…”
