a) trump is using jews in his crusade against dei not because he cares about jews, but because he’s racist

and

b) if dei programs had actually included jews in the first place, trump wouldn’t have had a leg to stand on

maybe, when your comments get you called out by the united states holocaust memorial museum, instead of doubling down and claiming that people are just “hating”, you could realize it’s time to do some reflection

[chanaleah]

your daily reminder that the UN, which between 2015-2024 passed 172 resolutions condemning Israel and 78 condemning every other country, has never been a neutral body when it comes to Israel

If you want to be an ally to the Jewish people, you’d better be ready to fight the antisemitism faced by all Jews.

Zionist Jews. Anti- and non-Zionist Jews. Observant Jews. Secular Jews. Reform Jews. Conservative Jews. Orthodox Jews. Israeli Jews. Ashkenazi Jews. Sephardic Jews. Mizrahi Jews. Beta Israeli Jews. Desi Jews. Convert Jews. White-passing Jews. Jews of color. Visibly-Jewish Jews. Queer Jews. Left-wing Jews. Right-wing Jews. Patrilineal Jews.

We are one people, and if you only fight antisemitism when it targets the Jews you like, you’re not actually an ally of the Jewish people.

After all, Ahmed al Ahmed is a hero, and probably helped save many lives.

However, it was pretty shocking to take a look at the various gofundmes that have been set up and see the striking difference between the money that has been raised.

because people are not their governments, unless you’re israeli in which case you personally represent every single action your government has ever taken (not any of the good ones though… jews israelis aren’t capable of good)

this is just peak xenophobia and antisemitism
