"I don't think any state should exist"

*proceeds to exclusively target one specific state*

Yeah, I don't believe "Anarchism" is your primary position.

Hell yeah they're down, keep reporting terrorists

"I have a Jewish friend so-"

So what? You appreciate and understand Jews or maybe Jewish culture? You know their history beyond the holocaust? You experienced the eerie sense that someone is spreading antisemitic tropes even when it was not a explicit call for Jews to die?

Just being a friend of some Jews does not stop you from being an antisemite, just like being a friend of some PoC does not stop you from being a racist.

Are you even using "friend" fairly, or does "person I agreed with on the internet" count as a friend too? Did you know any before you developed your thoughts on Jews and Israel?

Do you think that a Jew or an Israeli agreeing with you makes any statement directed at Jews or Israelis reasonable?

I could go on and on with questions like this, but I'll get to the point - nobody gives a shit about you having Jewish or Israeli friends, especially if you're using their opinions against Jews or Israelis themselves.

I'm so mad rn both because of Trump but also Gallant being replaced by Katz. Like wtf. What timeline is this.

An excrept from Tumblr's Terms and Conditions, section 18, Termination:

Upon termination of your access to or ability to use a Service, including but not limited to suspension of your Account on a Service, your right to use or access that Service and any Content will immediately cease.

And just so you know, anonymity from asks does not stop tumblr itself from knowing the blog of origin, and as such can and will be reported. Good job slipping on the banana you're throwing at people here.

Jumblr, if you received this as well, report it please.

listen man you can do your own thing and life and that’s all cool, it’s hard to ignore the people from my side who are unnecessarily angry with regular Jewish folk rather than the Israel government. Just don’t go out of your way to paint a false picture, eh? Use your brain just enough to draw all the parallels between what happened to we natives, and then compare it to what’s happening in Palestine will ya. Y’all can co-exist, your higher ups just choose not to. Rally for peace, not death 🕊️

Uh... I'm not sure what false picture you're talking about, but I confess that I tend to take people less seriously and put less effort into my arguments to them when they whiff me away as a "genocidal hasbara bot" or whatever they wanna come up with. I assure you that my takes outside of toxic reply sections are very much peaceful two-state solution oriented, while still being realistic and mournful of the many casualties. Besides, it's the only way I find people that are actually down to have a real discussion, and it's always a very pleasant surprise. So far I've only found like 5 of these, you are very welcome to become another, if you feel like it.

As for the higher ups - Hamas is being squashed, and Fatah (a much less radical group that is mostly in the west bank) is hopefully still willing to work with Israel. Meanwhile, the far right government of Israel has lost a lot of its reputation due to an attempt at a judicial reform, against which people were protesting for about 9 months before getting shelved on Oct 7, as well as other things which led to the latest elections being repeated like five times or something. I don't believe they have a real chance to stay the ruling party, but we'll see that on October 2026.

I do not "rally for death", I only stay realistic about it being inevitable when:

a. There's a war against terrorists

b. The terrorists are glad to use human shields and civilian infrastructure.

c. The civilian infrastructure is packed with civilians

d. Weaponry of extreme precision is not largely available

The "unnecessary anger" you speak of has given some of us (Jews) pre-holocaust vibes. I hope you understand what this means, because I simply don't have the words to help you with that. The abhorrent antisemitism, fandom-like behavior, history inversion and yes, rallies for deaths are not "hard to ignore", they should be given all of the attention and criticized until the movement overall would be actually considered more productive than performative. Burning yourself alive isn't "a heroic act of protest", it's something you'd hear about in death cults.

An amazing, detailed video on the geopolitics that led, contributed, and overall interacted with the Israel/Palestine overarching dispute and the current war. I strongly encourage and honestly, almost beg anyone that sees this to watch it entirely, and spread further, including beyond tumblr. It views Israel and Palestine fairly imo, and Russia, China and especially Iran in a very negative light.

Note - I did not watch the Nebula continuation of it, so anyone is welcome to detail on that in a reblog.
