Omg wait a second I read about it over a year ago in an article in a leftist online paper about young black Ethiopian Jewish man/teenagers who had sought refuge in Israel and got treated like literal dirt instead (also the fact some women were given contraceptive shots against their will and knowledge to keep them from reproducing and that was only 12 years ago) and that there were several cases of israeli military and police shooting them dead then claiming it was self defense or them going missing and turning up dead and even though their families tried to fight it and saying they wouldn’t have done that it got filed away as "suicides" and there also was the case of an ethiopian jewish man named avera mengistu who was reported to have been mentally unstable by his family who just wandered off from his home in a poor low income neighborhood in south Israel not far from Gaza one day and the border patrol guards on the Gaza fence just let him pass into the Strip but made clear he did it out of "his own free will" even though it’s one of the most surveilled borders in the world according to reports and there he was promptly noticed and arrested then interrogated by Hamas. Even though his family reported him officially missing and human rights organizations called for his release or negotiations NOTHING happened for 10 years. Prisoner exchange demands were apparently met with no reaction from Israel either. Hamas posted on their twitter account "Obviously, the real Israeli motto is 'leave no Ashkenazi man behind'." Benjamin Netanyahu was prime minister from 2009-2021 and again since 2022 to today.

The man’s family stated over and over again they felt like the israeli authorities were hiding something from them. Some officials put emphasis on the fact he passed the border willingly. His case also got little public attention in Israel in general, whereas the case of captive soldier Gilad Shalit from a few years prior received widespread attention in media.

The Ethiopian jewish community in Israel apparently was made to feel alienated again post-oct-7 when faces and names of the new hostages were plastered literally all over the country and the media, but avera‘s name was nowhere to be seen when they called to "bring all hostages home." Activists involved in his case have been saying his case highlights the inequalities faced by non-white Jews in Israel perfectly. They were ostracized for bringing him up because "now is not the time."

TODAY while randomly remembering this case again and googling I just found out this way he actually is still alive and has FINALLY been released 4 months ago as part of the first phase of the then-ceasefire deal!! But there is almost NO ARTICLES about it in israeli and international media. Genuinely insane. Hope he and his family are reunited and somehow heal from the trauma.

anyway can we talk about goyim weaponizing ethiopian jews against israel… screaming about wanting to see the imminent destruction of the only jewish state in the world, but the topic of the ethiopian jewish diaspora comes up and it’s “THESE POOR OPPRESSED BABIES THEY NEED TO BE SAVED FROM ISRAEL 🥺🥺”

these fuckers have PROBABLY never spoken to an israeli or a jew, let alone an ethiopian jew, and suddenly wanna speak on behalf of their people as if they’re a monolith with no voices of their own LMFAOOO

[librastrai]

people complaining that eurovision has been ruined for a "genocidal country" is crazy considering if you look at the history of any of the countries in the top 20, they have a genocidal history towards jews or other ethnic minorities. european exceptionalism is wild.

[envyingrams]

Are we surprised?? These arethe same people who outright refuse to acknowledge the mass Arab Colonization. And if they do acknowledge, they insist it was non-violent and that everyone converted to Islam of their own free will. (Yes, I read a clown arguing that in a YouTube video's comment section. 🙄)

[edenfenixblogs]

Important for people who are still stuck accusing people of antisemitism when they say genocide is actually not right.

so beyond aggravating yet hilarious to see white westerners in their 30s who likely preach about social justice, equality, communismm, etc absolutely scream ad infinitum on social media about their desire to slaughter jews for the sake of “activism.” the horseshoe theory is so real

i try not to harshly judge an individual based on their account(s) and identity alone, but people like this usually display this kind of behavior for a number of conspicuous and common reasons, in the western world at least:

1) compensating for their latent “white guilt” by making jews their scapegoat during their approach towards “social justice” on behalf of palestinians; assuaging that uncomfortable white guilt by attacking jews as a whole while hijacking a movement for the oppressed (ie: arabs, muslims, palestinians)

2) ridiculously skewed and fundamental misunderstanding of israel, jews, jewish/israeli history, etc, maybe due to lack of exposure to jews and judaism, as well as israel and israelis… + persistent refusal to rectify these misunderstandings

3) group think and “woke” think influencing their minds extremely easily (yes, this sounds like a hackneyed right-wing talking point, but it’s so relevant here— and most leftist jews post 10/7, even on tumblr, are beginning to notice the deranged antisemitism that has engulfed the left)

4) unwillingness to acknowledge or discuss the matter with jews, israelis, and palestinians with nuance or delicacy; wrongly interpret the war and its victims in a absolutist dichotomy. to them, the only way to discuss this issue is, supposedly, with extremism in which you “pick a side” (evil “zionazis” vs palestinians). under this umbrella, all layers of gray are stripped, any/all debates and terminology (ie: “zionist” “apartheid” “genocide”) related to the topic are entirely one-dimensional

really a predictable prototype. op i reblogged from is a prime example lol

[supremeslut]

i’m gonna say it because i’m not sure if anyone else here has: there are way too many modern american, white, LGBT leftists who staunchly advocate for palestine and palestinians because they prop up jews as a scapegoat to assuage their white guilt and white self loathing

such “leftists” externalize their feelings of white guilt under the guise of “activism,” in which the jew (us) must play the punching bag on behalf of palestinians so that they can feel as if they’ve fulfilled their role as white-ally. targeting, harassing, wishing death upon one of the most vulnerable minority groups to rack up approval from POC and fellow leftists as a “good” white leftie.

such is the nature of antisemitism. the jew is always to blame, regardless of who is pointing the accusing finger at us

That scene that practically lives rent-free in your head?

Write it. The one you keep daydreaming about. The one you’ve choreographed like a movie. The one with the perfect line you whisper to yourself when no one’s around.

Yeah. That one.

Write it down. Even if it’s out of order. Even if it’s messy. Even if it changes later.

Give it somewhere to live besides your brain.

This is a genuine question not a “gotcha”, but are Palestinians not just Arabized descendants of the indigenous people? Obviously Islam and the Arab conquest obviously are foreign to the Levant, that’s common sense, but are modern day Palestinians (who are the same as Arab Jordanians and Syrians) really the descendants of conquerors and colonized peoples? Are they not the conquered and colonized people? Because the people identifying as Palestinian (or Jordanian or Syrian) aren’t just a bunch of Saudis who moved to the Levant 1200 years ago, they’re the victims (if victims is the right word) of the Arab conquest. Is there a nuance that I’m missing?

No anon, they are mostly the descendants of arabs who came to colonize. that’s why the palestinian national movement was created and that’s why it’s a PANARAB movement.

that’s why hamas leadership SAYS they are arabs. here:

read/watch all of this and it’ll help. palestinians are an arab identity, part of the pan arab movement. that is very different from arabized tunisia, etc. palestinians are NOT a population of converted jews. that’s a new narrative and it’s nearly entirely untrue. are there a few cases? yes but not overall.

the indigenous people in this region were jews and a few other groups. please read about the “old yishuv,” aka the jews who maintained a presence after diasporas. they were displaced by arabs numerous times, which led to a larger arab population in the region.

many are egyptian arabs (some could be mixed with indigenous egyptian. many egyptians and arabs emigrated to work under the mandate), saudi arabs, yemeni arabs, etc. as they state lmao

Just so you know, assuming every Jewish person is a bloodthirsty genocidal Nazi is in fact very antisemitic and you should stop doing it :)

[queer-scots-geordie-dyke]

If it's all the same to you, random person, I think I will continue to listen to the vast majority of Jewish voices over the tiny few you've decided to tokenise because they're saying what you want to hear.

[disfiguredgrace]

anti zionism is super popular right now because antisemites needed a way to believe in nazi values without publicly allying themselves with nazism because that’s obviously bad

[doberbutts]

I think asking an oppressed demographic to prove they're not bad is, in fact, still an act of contributing to their oppression.

[doberbutts]

Hello members of [demographic]. I have heard that some of you have done [harmful action]. Maybe even I had someone from [demographic] do [harmful action] to me. In order for me to take you seriously, you must first prove to me that you are not all like this. When I receive satisfactory proof, I will entertain the possibility of considering your opinions. In the mean time, however, I will continue believing the opinions of people who are not [demographic] regarding your entire demographic. I'm a [different demographic] myself and I do not see any parallels in my behavior towards you to how people treat me for some fucking reason.

[chiribomb-deactivated20220820]

Honestly I’m pretty tired of having to add the disclaimer “I don’t support everything Israel has ever done” to every single post pleading with goyim to stop being viciously evil and antisemitic. I shouldn’t have to qualify that I don’t agree with a particular politician in order for you to stop applauding Jewish deaths and putting Jews in danger. It should be common sense that wanting to see a country’s populace be safe and well is not identical to supporting everything they do. I hate Trump but that doesn’t mean I think it’s ok to stab random Americans or that the America should cease to exist and all its residents go to countries that tried to kill them in living memory, where they would be a hated cultural and religious minority. I’m sick of having to run down a laundry list of criticisms of Israel before you will even halfway listen to my argument that antisemitism is bad. I’m sick of diaspora Jews being forced to become experts on foreign governments just so they can have an answer when you demand to know what right they have as a people to be safe and to exist.

Because it’s YOU all who demand this, and it’s you who keep moving the goalposts, and it’s you who won’t listen to us anyway, because we’ll never be enough of a “Good Jew” to be safe if you decide to turn on us and I’m not interested in playing your racist games.

I don't understand "get a rich man" psychosis. If men who have $26 in savings act entitled and treat you badly- why do you think men with ample resources and actual financial power to get whatever they want, when they want, will treat you better? Rich men are potentially far more dangerous to invite into your life, especially if you allow yourself to become totally dependent. Also, rich men aren't marrying girls who work at Walgreens. They will pump and dump you but they will not marry you, I'm sorry. They're marrying friends of friends within their social class or models and actresses. Please be for real.

[mossadspypigeon]

and btw they didnt say death to jews in egypt and syria and lebanon and tunisia and iraq in the 1930s-60s. they said “death to the zionists,” but guess who they slaughtered in the farhud and other massacres and kicked out? and hung in the streets?

jews.

we know exactly what you mean.
