#antisemitism tw

[jewish-joy]

I volunteer at an elementary school through a school club. For the end of year party, I was discussing the logistics with the organization's president when she broke the news that there'd be no pizza.

"Aw, shucks!" Was my response. "You couldn't order it from a school approved vendor? Even with our funds?

"Basically," she groaned. "The usual place isn't open that day and I wasn't going to order from the other one."

"What was the other one?" I asked.

"It's" she wrinkled her face and whispered. "A kosher pizzeria."

I waited for the follow up. It didn't come. I repeated her words. "because it's kosher ? "

"Yeah." She sighed. "I just can't endorse that. With global politics."

"You can't endorse a local restaurant so you're not getting pizza for 8 year olds?"

"Yeah. And I bet that their stuff isn't that good -"

"Actually," I interrupted. "That place is fantastic. I love their pizza."

I couldn't tell you her response because I walked away from that conversation. But I am still reeling. This is just the many ways antisemitism shows up and we are all lesser for it.

Jew here with a friendly reminder that:

Criticizing Isreal ≠ antisemetic

Supporting Palestine ≠ antisemitic

Believing in the Free Palestine cause ≠ antisemitic

BUT ALSO

A random ass Jew just living their life oceans away has nothing to do with the Isreal-Palestine conflict

Palestinian Jews exist

Jews that support Palestine exist (I am one of them)

Calling out ACTUAL antisemitism ≠ supporting Isreal

the thing about studying antisemitism is that the history of it is so long that occasionally you’ll hear a tidbit from some modern antisemite and be like omg is that a piece of rhetoric from the 2nd temple period of roman judea. funny seeing you here babygirl it’s been a while

Perhaps a controversial take, but I don't think the phrase "make nazis afraid again" actually reflects what often happened in real life both in history and in the current day. I've seen way too many comfortable, celebrated nazis who were and are nothing but unafraid and emboldened.

I feel a more accurate slogan would be "make nazis afraid."

never, never forget that when a 9 month old jewish baby was kidnapped there were people drawing swastikas on the missing posters of him.

Goyim on this fuck ass app will use "psyop" to discredit any leftist Jew that says "hey can y'all stop saying we drink Palestinian blood and deserve murder?" And then act all surprised when we call them antisemitic.

A Palestinian mother in the kitchen trying to cook her kid's favorite meal to make them feel better after they had to hide under their desk at school while her husband makes desperate calls to family to see if they were in the crosshairs of the latest attack is not going to feel any better knowing that a Tumblr user told another Tumblr user to kill themself because they drew fan art of Dick Grayson at his bar mitzvah.

A family living in a tent city with mandatory blackouts because their neighborhood is a target isn't going to rejoice in relief because a Tumblr user linked a book on how the Jews control the world under a post about someone's temple being vandalized with swastikas

A person who lost their family isn't waiting for a Tumblr user to make a call out post. They aren't waiting for a Tumblr user to spam subscribe else's inboxes with anon hate because they said their kid is scared to go to Hebrew school. They aren't waiting for someone to get death threats because they made a post in Hebrew that the person leaving the threats can't even read.

You are accomplishing nothing except spreading hate. What fucking good could you possibly be doing for a family in shambles or a mother who's scared for her children's lives by sending someone anonymous hate on Tumblr.

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
