white americans LOVE saying "jews are stealing land and colonizing and this and that" to justify their antisemitism, but it's just their colonizer fakewoke guilt coming out and being placed upon someone else. WHILE typically racializing an 'acceptable' target no less.

Disgusting mess. "wah wah i have to harass random jews!! they stole land!" give your home to a native person or shut the fuck up oml

I'm starting to realize that Laudna's story, completely by accident, functions really well as a metaphor for Jewish pogrom survivors.

You live your whole life on the outskirts of a big city. There's something about you that makes you different, something you didn't choose and don't have a say in, and everyone around you thinks you're a freak, an "other," and tries to drive you away.

When you're a little older, the seat of power in your city changes hands. You barely notice at first, you have bigger things to worry about, but your family hopes that maybe these new rulers will present new opportunities for you, that you won't be thought of as an "other" anymore.

Until one day the other shoe drops. The new rulers find you, and they don't accept you. They hurt you and humiliate you and mutilate you and when you finally die your corpse is strung up on a tree as a message.

When it's over, you're all that's left. Your family is dead, buried in a shallow unmarked grave somewhere. No one will even look at you. You can't go back home, your home is gone, everything you ever knew is gone, and no one is willing to help you get it back. So you leave.

You build a life for yourself, away from home. You find new friends, new family, who don't think you're a freak. They love you because of what makes you different, rather than in spite of it.

But even then, you can't escape the whispers. The reminders that you're not like them, not really. That you're not really a person, that you're something else, and you shouldn't bother pretending to be a person when you'll never be anything but a freak.

You hate the whispers, but you can't get rid of it. So you live with it. You ignore them when you can, and you laugh at them when you can't, and you try to live your life.

Until one day the violence comes back. You're hurt again. For the second time, your life ends.

You don't know what to do, so you go back home. And at first when you get back it's wonderful. The rulers who destroyed your family were ousted, replaced with someone new, someone everyone says is better. So you go to him and tell him your story, about how the last rulers destroyed everything you had. The new rulers are sympathetic. They suffered under the old rulers too, they understand your pain. So you ask for their help in setting everything right. They hate the old rulers as much as you do, more even, so they should want to help, they should want to repair what the old rulers broke, right?

They get very uncomfortable at that. Start talking about the natural order, how this is a really complicated decision, how they have to think about their own safety. If they help you, if they fix what was broken, it could have unknown repercussions. The past needs to stay in the past. You're part of that past. You need to stay in the past too.

You stay in the city for a few days, but it's not the city you remember. Everyone seems just as keen to forget the past as the new rulers did. No one wants to look at you for too long. It was a tragedy, what was done to you, but we weren't the ones to hang you from the tree. Why are you haunting us? You tell them you're not haunting them, you just wanted to see your home, but that doesn't matter. You still aren't welcome there. You're still the same freak they chased away when you were children. You still don't belong.

And throughout all of that, through all the pain and suffering and death, you never stop smiling. You never stop telling jokes and doing arts and crafts and trying new things. You're the happiest person you know, because you have to be. Because you have to believe that the worst thing to happen to you has already happened. And if it hasn't, well... you will outlive them.

If you put any stock in anything Track AIPAC has to say, please read this article from The Bulwark. It is a masterpiece

Track AIPAC’s Methodology Is Just Vibes

Critics of Israel are lumped together with its strongest allies if ‘Track AIPAC’ doesn’t like them enough.

The JVP Haggadah is antisemitic by any standard - even their own!

Blogging about Israel and the Arab world since, oh, forever.

Jewish Voice for Peace has published its Haggadah for Passover 5786/2026. 

It calls God a war criminal.

In the Hallel section, participants are invited to ask:

Can this be a holiday of liberation when the 'mighty hand and outstretched arm' that supposedly bring freedom are the same force that ten times over prevents peaceful escape from the narrow place, insisting on plague, environmental devastation, and massacre? Can this be a holiday of liberation when the triumph it introduces is first the slaughter of those who insist that democracy must be a part of liberation, and then the genocidal conquest of the land of Canaan — of Palestine — under the leadership of a hereditary priestly caste? ...These genocide warrants, these celebrations of genocide, these acts that enable more genocide, are the core of the story.

JVP is not criticizing Israeli policy. It is declaring that the God of Israel — the God whose "mighty hand and outstretched arm" are invoked in the Haggadah — is a perpetrator of genocide. To JVP, the Exodus is not a liberation story - it is a war crime. Passover is not a holiday - it is Tisha B'Av. 

Their hate for Jews and Judaism and God is so all-encompassing that they must reframe the Egyptians as peace-loving, democratic people who supported the liberation of the slaves if only those plagues would stop. If the Jews are the villains, the Egyptians (and Canaanites) must be the heroes of the story.

This is an attack on Judaism at its foundations — its sacred narrative, its central ritual, its God. If one believes this, then Jewish civilization is not merely flawed but irredeemably criminal from its inception. 

Which raises the obvious question: if the God Jews worship is genocidal, if the holiday Jews celebrate most is a ritual reenactment of ethnic cleansing, if Jewish communities and institutions are engines of colonial indoctrination — why does this organization insist on calling itself Jewish Voice for Peace? Who would want to be identified with a people who have been nothing but reprehensible from their very origins?

Because if they were "Non-Jewish Voice for Peace" they couldn't publish a Haggadah! Atheists don't hold seders.  Their claim to Jewishness is the precondition for the document's existence.

So JVP calls itself Jewish to weaponize the identity, while insisting that everything Jews have believed, celebrated, and transmitted across three thousand years is genocidal to its core. They are, by their own account, members of a people whose founding story is a war crime.

The hypocrisy is structural, not incidental. It is the whole point.

The antisemitism is obvious to anyone. But JVP needs to claim to be against antisemitism, so it created a framework carefully crafted to exclude their own hate from being called antisemitic. So by their definition, attacking and mocking Judaism is fine. They only oppose white nationalists and neo-Nazi versions of antisemitism, and they particularly emphasize the illegitimacy of conspiracy theories, saying "We have also seen the use of Jewish stereotypes and conspiracy theories as part of racist ideologies."

Now let's revisit the so-called Haggadah. In the section of the Simple Son, they say, "The Jewish state, Jewish communities, Jewish institutions, and Jewish family members — by our tax dollars and elected representatives — are in cahoots and complicit. In a STILL ongoing genocide."

This is, by any definition, a conspiracy theory, saying that Jewish communities, institutions and even ordinary Jews are "in cahoots" to promote genocide. 

 For JVP, every Jew participates in the worst possible crime. This is worse than the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which claimed only a shadowy cabal of insiders. Not to invoke Godwin's Law, but the closest parallel to JVP's characterization of Jews is that of Adolf Hitler, who also claimed that Jews were responsible for instigating wars, mass murder, and destroying civilizations from within.

JVP insists they oppose antisemitism. But by their own definition, they embrace it.

In a world spiraling into war, with AI rising and jobs falling, it’s easy to miss the little things — like a spate of young Republicans praising Hitler. Not so long ago, hugging Hitler was one of those lines you just didn’t cross in a decent democracy, and for good reason: fascism, the Second World War and genocide. Murdering millions of humans should never inspire admiration. But that’s what’s been happening with increasing regularity, revealed by a recent string of unhinged text chains revealed among young Republican leaders. This isn’t an outlier or a one-off. It’s a pattern and a problem. Last week, the Miami Herald revealed the contents of an extensive group chat started by the secretary of Miami-Dade County’s Republican Party, for conservative students at Florida International University. The chat quickly degenerated into a cesspool of racism, violent fantasies, and Hitler-admiration. The n-word was used over 400 times, including in ruminations on the best ways to murder African Americans (curb-stomping and crucifixion were mentioned by one allegedly pro-life member of the chat). The chat also included extensive references to women as “whores,” fantasies about all-white immigration laws, and free-flowing hatred toward Jewish Americans. The chat group was named “Gooning in Agartha” — which is a strange combo platter suggesting ornate masturbation rituals in “Nazi heaven.” Now, an isolated bout of hate-flu perhaps could be dismissed, but it directly echoed another group chat of national young Republican leaders uncovered by reporters at Politico less than six months ago. In this Telegram chat, leaders from New York, Kansas, Arizona, and Vermont let their bile casually flow. [...] This didn’t come out of nowhere. There was evidence of an ugly permission structure in Trump’s refusal to denounce David Duke in 2016, the both-siderism after the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally in which khaki’d men with torches shouted “Jews will not replace us,” and the presence of at least give self-described Nazis at the January 6 attack on the Capitol, as I reported in a CNN “Reality Check” segment. The Atlantic’s Tom Nichols — himself a former Republican — recently catalogued the Trump’s administration’s increasing use of Nazi iconography in an article concisely titled, “The Republican Party Has a Nazi Problem.”  We cannot allow this depraved new low to be normalized in America. The autocratic impulse that leads weak people to fall under the sway of a self-styled strong man leads to lethal places. This problem is erupting from the base, particularly from younger members, who should be the most idealistic participants in our politics. It cannot be contained, it must be confronted consistently — particularly from Republicans. Each party has an obligation to police its own extremes and there is nothing more extreme — and evil — than Adolph Hitler and his genocidal goosestepping thugs. If you can’t clearly and confidently call out Nazi admirers in your own party, then you’ve put party over country, conscience, and common sense.

Yelling "free Palestine" at a visibly Jewish teenager running a marathon does not help the Palestinians and is, in fact, an act of antisemitism.

You can support the Palestinian people without being antisemitic or verbally attacking Jewish teenagers who are just trying to exist in the world.
