Hi! I'm a huge fan of your work — From Wiltshire with Love, Blackmailed, The Dish Best Served Cold. I'm from Ukraine, and I just wanted to say that the whole of Ukraine stands with Israel. We know from our own experience what war is like, and my heart is with you. I wanted to ask you a few questions, if you don't mind. Of course, please feel free not to answer anything that feels too personal or intrusive. (questions are in the next messages)

Thank you so much! Ask whatever you like. I very much appreciate the sentiment. I have family and friends in Israel who have been in and out of bomb shelters for 3 years now. Just like they were in 2006 when Hezbollah started that war too at the IRGC's behest.

But I'm a Jewish American/Israeli, and fandom has spent that time dehumanizing us with blood libels to such an extent that they call murder, rape and hostage taking 'resistance' - to a war where, exactly like the Ukrainians, we did not want and did not start, against an enemy much larger than us. And since the antizionist hate movement can't hurt Israelis in Israel, they persecute Jews in the diaspora while claiming they're standing up against oppression.

Putin can't be appeased. Just like the IRGC, Hezbollah, Houthis, Hamas and other manifestations of the Muslim Brotherhood can't be appeased.

And the Russians, Iranians, Yemenis, Lebanese and Palestinians do not deserve to be held hostage by these terrible regimes engaging in forever wars.

The elements of Europe and the United States that think they can sit back and play nice are cowards. No better than Neville Chamberlin or Cornelius Fudge.

We are not.

I have been astounded at the steadfastness and bravery of the Ukranians and I hope that all the refugees stranded abroad, praying for the safety of their families like @mysteriouscatstellation will be able to return.

Modern warfare is changing before our very eyes. There has not been a change in tactics and technology this seismic since the invention of the machine gun, and Ukrainians have become global leaders while Europe let their militaries fall into disrepair and freeloads off the United States for its defense.

Every country is taking notes right now. No country in the world has the technology or expertise of Ukraine in drone warfare, and that was borne out of necessity. Much like no country in the world has the technology or expertise of Israel in missile defense. Again, borne out of necessity.

One of Israel's big mistakes was not collaborating with Ukraine on drone technology when Zelenskyy offered a few years ago, but they're collaborating now. Our enemies work together and I'm glad we are too.

The Gulf States are learning the hard way that appeasement doesn't work. And if the far east isn't careful, the same thing will happen to them with China.

Do you think that the examples of antisemitism given by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (see below) are all antisemitic or do you think some are not antisemitic?

They are all antisemitic (I am Jewish)

They are not all antisemitic (I am Jewish)

They are all antisemitic (I am not Jewish)

They are not all antisemitic (I am not Jewish)

Remaining time: 6 days 20 hours

Contemporary examples of antisemitism in public life, the media, schools, the workplace, and in the religious sphere could, taking into account the overall context, include, but are not limited to:

Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion.

Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.

Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.

Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust).

Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.

Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.

Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.

Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.

Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.

Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.

Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.

Being Jewish on Tumblr is fine as long as your blocklist is in the low hundreds.

We should abandon the dagesh in the taf altogether. It's too much of a bother to keep track, and for little gain, either. In Sephardi pronunciation there's no difference between taf-with-dagesh and taf-without. In Ashkenazi pronunciation we already have the samech and the sin, so we can replace the sof with one of those. There's no way this can possibly go wrong.

If you are commenting "free Palestine" on a social media post made by a Jew, for no other reason than that they are a Jew, you aren't an activist. You're just an antisemite.
