REMEMBER: dogwhistle emojis

🔻- red triangle: used to mark jewish targets and to signify support for violence against israelis and jews. Most often used on the left to signify support for hamas.

🧃- juice/jews

⚡️⚡️- double lighting bolt used to symbolize nazi SS

👃- nose. Stereotype that jews have big noses

🖊- ballpoint pen. Older and not used as often, used to cast aspersions on Anne Frank's diary and its veracity

🧼- soap/showers/gas chambers. Also reference to story that the fat of jews was rendered down to make soap in the death camps.

💰- money/moneybags. Greedy jew stereotype

👺- old stereotype that jews are evil/of the devil/ working with the devil. Note the long nose.

🖌- painter/austrian painter/Hitler y"s

Using emojis is a morally neutral act; always note the context in which it is being used.

Everyone who is Australian please go today to give blood, they are saying that all the victims the blood supply is incredibly low and this is something small and practical you can do.

Heck if you are not Australian you should go donate blood because it's a good thing to do.

can you talk about some small and big things that people can do to be better allies to Jews right now?

Thanks for asking! That alone puts you ahead of a lot of people who’ve gone quiet or gotten weird:

Small things:

Check in on your Jewish friends. Not to make it about you, not to ask them to explain things. Just a thinking of you or you crossed my mind and I hope you're hanging in.

If you're in progressive spaces, watch for the silencing. Are Jews being interrupted, sidelined, or interrogated more than others? Are Jewish speakers only invited when something antisemitic happens? Are they being required to perform the right sort of Jewishness or the right position on Israel's right to exist? Slap that shit down

Learn the basics of Jewish history outside of crisis. Jewishness is more than trauma. It's culture, language, ritual, music, food, texts. You can’t be an ally if all you see is a wound.

Medium things:

Push back when antisemitism shows up in your circles, even when it’s subtle, coded, or disguised with cause-language. You don't have to give a lecture. "Hey, that's not okay" or "That framing feels off" is much more than we're used to seeing. Ask if they'd say the same thing if a different tribal identity was involved. Underline the hypocrisy.

Don't use Jewish pain as a rhetorical prop. If you're quoting statistics about Jew hatred, make sure you're also listening to actual Jews.

Get comfortable holding space for complexity. If you care about human rights, you can care about Palestinians and Israelis without erasing either one.

Big things:

Make space for Jewish voices even when it's not convenient, appreciated, or applauded. Invite Jews into coalitions, panels, projects, not just as the antisemitism rep, and not just Jews who are willing to be tokens and condemn Israel's right to exist.

Show up when no one else is looking. That means speaking out before things get uglier. That means backing Jewish colleagues and classmates even when it's awkward and uncomfortable.

Let go of the idea that being a good ally means being perfect. A good ally is present, accountable, and willing to grow. (Seems like you're at least most of the way there, Anon.)

You don't need to do everything.

You just need to start somewhere and keep showing up.

Again, thanks for asking. I hope others will share their answers, too.

resisting the urge to start throwing things every time someone cares more about hypothetical islamophobic backlash than THE FIFTEEN JEWS WHO WERE MURDERED AT A CHANUKAH CELEBRATION

It's never been about a "ceasefire" lmao. They want the NYT to retract a report about well-documented, clearly-evidenced sexual violence from Oct 7th because they are disgusting Jew-hating racists.

About 300 public figures announce boycott of New York Times over 'biased coverage' in Gaza

Simple as that. It's as simple as fucking that, they are hole-brained miserable ghouls who ought to be ashamed of themselves. But they never will be because this is just par for the course. Our society is rotten with antisemitic gibberish.

You know what makes me fucking sad? That I, as a Non-Jew, have to be explicit about my stance on antisemitism, while it should be THE NORM.

Y'all wanna "punch nazis" but can't even protect Jews. What's your point.

"Oh but Nazis hurt all of us-" I am going to eat your kneecaps.

Read a history book, us germans learn this shit at age 12. Spitting in your face rn.

why am i "so obsessed" with being jewish? i mean, a lot of reasons. there is the fact that my great-great grandfather was killed in a pogrom - a word which literally mean destruction, and refers to the mob violence perpetuated against jews in the russian empire and ussr - and my teenage great grandmother fled to canada with her two younger siblings and only the clothes on her back, herself only being 13 years old, all money spent on the passage across the atlantic and having to care for two children while still being a child herself. it might be because over 90% of the jewish community she was raised in were systematically murdered in the holocaust, cousins, friends, family, who disappear seemingly overnight from the records as though they never lived at all.

my great grandmother was a galitzianer, a lone, lucky member of a jewish sub-group that was almost entirely erradicated by the nazis, who managed to get out before the holocaust at great personal cost. that she existed to have descendants like me is something was an incomprehensibly small chance. forgive me if i choose to be vocal about being jewish when so many others never had the chance to.
