New policy: No more arguing with Christianists, especially the ones who think that missionizing is a good thing. Autoblock on sight.
EDIT: Addendum: Antisemitic atheists too.
Less a DNI, and more just an exasperated sigh at this point, yes, I vet new followers for my own safety and I will automatically block missionaries, Christian apologists, antisemitic atheists, antizionists, Nazis (WTAF are you following me in the first place?), and TERFs.
Confused Jews are Scared Jews
A small independent movie theater near me with a reputation for witty marquees put up the following display to advertise Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey": Before there were the Jews ... there was The Odyssey. This set off a lot of consternation. All the local papers have stories on it. It was included in an all-congregant email sent by my Rabbi, alongside other concerning events such as a Jewish community member's car defaced with swastikas (very concerning) and the majority of Oregon's House delegation voting against military aid to Israel (less concerning). From my vantage point, the marquee is mostly confusing. I don't get it. It doesn't seem to have a clear point, or tie into any particular narrative (positive or negative) about Jews. Even at its most literal, it's not clear the Odyssey in fact does predate the existence of Jews. So why does this message feel so off? The best answer I can give is that -- for better or for worse -- when I see something snarky that mentions Jews that doesn't have a clear punchline, my first assumption is that it represents some sewer meme from 4chan or whatnot that hasn't yet broken through into the public consciousness; a shibboleth that signals "I'm talking shit about Jews in a way (((they))) won't get and can't get me for." Remember "noticing"? Or the echo signs, for that matter? It's rarely good when people talk about Jews in elliptical ways, and so when we see people talking about Jews in ways that are opaque and confusing we rationally respond with alarm. In any event, the theater's GM has now revealed his intentions behind the marquee ... sort of. Judge for yourself: âMy intention is never to influence opinion or fan flames, but to say: itâs okay to raise eyebrows, though I hope my messages reflect a depth of understanding others find in themselves but not always in the world around them,â said [Jordan] Perry by text message. âThrough the media I consume, I believe modern-day antisemitism is exaggerated, mostly as a defense for Israelâs actions in the Middle East and its involvement in our politics, and my intention in referencing Jewish people on the marquee was to prod at everything being seemingly antisemitic with a statement that couldnât possibly be construed as antisemitic.â A man who thinks antisemitism is greatly exaggerated, but also doesn't understand antisemitism well enough to comprehend why his marquee would be alarming. One might hope that this dissonance would prompt some self-reflection, but I somehow suspect it will do the opposite. via The Debate Link https://ift.tt/mb6sRKV

ive been trying for a while to find the right words to articulate the way goys, and especially the current-left goys, treat and talk the holocaust, how they see being a victim of this massive tragedy that destroyed over half a people as a mark of specialness, or privilege, how it grants you martyrdom for the cause of social justice- except when it's jews, of course, because then they're using their victimhood to manipulate people and are acting like it's only about them. and the way they fight over this whole idea of 'who suffered the most during the holocaust [except the jews]', as if the question of who is the biggest victim is a question of who takes the trophy for 'group to be most oppressed'. but anyway i just had the thought that goys seem to treat the holocaust as if it's the golden apple thrown by marx with the inscription 'to the most oppressed' going on. that's the best way i can describe it.
martyrdom is a great way to put it
Including these VERY important tags. Passed peer review.

This is what happens when you begin to see suffering and oppression not as an injustice to be fought, but as a mark of moral virtue.
One of a number of ways that Marxism and Marx-influenced Leftism is waaaaaay more like traditional Christianity in its thinking than either would care to admit.
Its also what happens when you blame Jews for everything. Which, hey, another way Marxism is like traditional Christianity.
It's funny how "no more brother wars" is never applied to ruzzians only their former subjects. If ruzzians don't want any more brother wars they should stop enlisting to go kill their "brothers".
I'm so sick of queer people acting entitled to the Holocaust. I'm tired of people acting like a handful of gay men who died are worth more than the millions of Jews who were exterminated. I hate that people don't take Jewish concerns seriously even a little bit.
I used to follow Making Queer History, but they recently posted something about "People Without History Are Dust." The author of that book told a Holocaust survivor's daughter that she would use a pseudonym in her book, only to use this woman's face and name in promotional materials. This author claimed that this survivor, Jewish woman in the Holocaust, was in love with a Nazi guard, even though her family very clearly said this wasn't the case. The author used a woman's rape by Nazis to promote her own book! That's disgusting and unethical. No one should be promoting a book when the author acts like this. MQH has it on their affiliate list, so they're making money when people buy it.
I wrote up an explanation, but MQH ignored me. I sent them a message about it, asking them not to promote it. They just reposted the same post, which is an ad for the book.
They just don't care if Jews suffer. They don't care that this woman's daughter has spoken extensively about the harm this book has done to her mother's reputation or how awful the trope of Jews falling in love with Nazi guards is. It doesn't matter!
They're more than happy to make money off our deaths and pretend it's all about them.
I'm so sick of it. This is why I can't trust the queer community at large anymore.

I donât have the fortitude to check out the comments today, but the post is here.
Eliya Cohen thought his girlfriend, Ziv Abud, was dead when he was kidnapped at the Nova festival. Now they are looking forward to getting m
Eliya
I met Ziv in 2011 while growing up near Tel Aviv. We were both 14 and I saw her crying because her boyfriend had left her. Trying to help, I said, âDonât cry. You are young, pretty and you will have a good life ahead of you.â She eventually messaged me on Instagram and we started hanging out together. I learnt quickly that she has the most beautiful soul and her love for me was like nothing I had ever experienced. Later we moved in together and we were together every day until October 7, 2023.
Part of my job was organising festivals and we spent many weekends with our friends, listening to music, drinking and having fun. The Nova festival, held in the Negev desert in southern Israel, was something we were all looking forward to. Even after we saw the missiles in the sky that day, we thought, âAh, this is Israel. It is a normal day.â So we carried on dancing. It was only when I got a call from my aunt, who was also at the festival, that we realised something was not right. She was screaming, saying that someone in her car had been shot. I said to Ziv, âWe should get out of here.â
We drove with Zivâs nephew and his girlfriend, heading for the main road, but there was a police roadblock. We turned the car around and drove maybe five minutes until we saw a bomb shelter â a common sight near the border. More people joined us in the shelter, but we were all talking and joking. Although it was scary, we had seen it before.
Then suddenly the terrorists were outside the shelter and they were going to kill us. A grenade rolled into the shelter and exploded. Another grenade and we are fighting, picking up the grenades and throwing them out of the door. It was like this for 40 minutes until the terrorists fired a rocket-propelled grenade.
I donât know how, but my mind was still working. Ziv fainted and I knew the only chance to save her was to bury her underneath the dead bodies. Two of those bodies were her nephew and his girlfriend.
The bullets were still coming into the shelter and I was shot in the leg, but then I was dragged out and loaded onto a truck. The last thing I saw was a terrorist pointing his gun into the shelter and firing a hundred bullets. I was sure Ziv was dead.
I was driven to Gaza and thousands of people were on the streets celebrating. I was more scared of these people than I was of the terrorists. The terrorists wanted to keep me alive, a hostage for negotiation. Those ordinary people wanted to kill me. They wanted the respect that would come from killing a Jew.
I was held for 505 days. In the tunnels was the worst â no light, no sleep, beatings, being stripped naked so they could laugh at us, no food, no water. There was a wonderful day when we realised we were so far underground that there was damp on the walls. We would lick the walls. At least we had a drop of water. I put my trust in God. I knew they would not break me.
The days blurred into one, but when we heard a rumour that Donald Trump had been elected it made my group of four hostages very excited. Two weeks later our captors told us three of us would be released. Just three, not four. I was lucky enough to be one of them but knowing one of us was still in captivity filled me with guilt. Alon Ohel was freed eight months later.
Then I saw my family. And Ziv. She was alive. It wasnât real, but it was. Of course then I found out what had been happening in the world. The marches celebrating the murders and rapes, babies being slaughtered. The only reason people can mock is because we are Jewish. If it happened to other people they wouldnât.
Even after I was released I didnât allow myself to continue with life. How could I see a doctor or start my therapy when the other hostages werenât free? The 20 remaining living hostages were released last October.
It has taken a long time but Ziv and I now try to think about the future. I bought an engagement ring before October 7 and have now had the chance to propose. We will marry this summer and build a family with many children in Israel, in the land where they tried to kill us. For me, thatâs the biggest victory of all.
Ziv
The bomb shelter we were in on that day in 2023 â on Route 232 near the Kibbutz Reâim â is now known as the shelter of death. The first grenade exploded and the sound, the smell, the dead bodies⌠not even bodies, arms and legs and blood. I was scared like I have never been scared before. I peed myself three or four times.
The last thing I remember is holding Eliyaâs hand and him covering me with dead bodies. I think I heard him scream, saying heâd been shot. Then one of the terrorists began shooting into the shelter â a machinegun. So many bullets. I could feel them hitting the bodies on top of me â thum-thum-thum â making the bodies shudder and move. And then nothing.
I woke up at 11am and the attack had started at eight. There was me and six other survivors in the shelter, and we had no idea what was going to happen. Would the terrorists come back? We sat with our dead friends for seven hours until we were rescued and taken to a hospital. I tried to call my sisters and they said they had seen a picture of Eliya. I thought they were lying, trying to make me happy, but then I saw the picture on the news. He was alive but he was in Gaza â a hostage.
I cried myself to sleep every night but each morning I would tell myself that I would make sure Eliya came home. I was part of the delegations travelling around the world, telling people about October 7. When he was finally released and I saw him again, after 16 months, he was so thin, my Eliya, and like a ghost.
When I was a child I heard people talk about the Holocaust and how much people hated Jews, but I thought that people had changed. Then I saw marches all over Europe, defending what had happened. People would stop me in the street and say Hamas is not a terrorist group, they are fighting for human rights.
Of the people who were murdered, we knew 48 of them. [Official figures put the death toll of the October 7 attacks at 1,200.] My nephew and his girlfriend are gone. I suffer from PTSD and still have nightmares. When I tried on my wedding dress, there was nothing, no happy tears. October 7 changed us, it changed everything, but we have hope. Our wedding is going to be our moment. It is our present from God.

multiple times a day i just think about the fact that the largest most all encompassing and violent religions in the world have crushed the mythology of judaism into a pedestal for their own gains. and jews are just expected to turn the other cheek and be generous and deferent about it
my house is scary at night
Interpreted this initially not as shelves, but as your cat having erected defensive fortifications
I miss the days when I could follow a hot queer who posts sexy selfies on this hellsite and not get flashbanged by them reblogging antisemitism the day after...
Oughhh it happened again...
It's not merely that people falsely accuse the Jewish state of "genocide", but that the accusers enjoy doing it. It is a phenomenon known as "schadenfreude", a feeling of sadistic gratification that overrides rational thought.
Only with Israel do people enjoy schadenfreude when talking about alleged war crimes
"Six days after October 7th, a genocide studies professor declared Israel's response "textbook genocide" â before a single independent casualty count existed and week before an IDF soldier entered Gaza. A year later Amnesty admitted, on page 101 of its own report, that it was rejecting the ICJ's actual legal standard because that standard "would effectively preclude a finding of genocide." Internal staff at Amnesty revealed the report was called "the genocide report" before the research even began. None of this happened to Myanmar, Syria, or Sudan â all more brutal, all with clearer evidence of intent, all treated with years of caution before anyone reached for the word. Only Israel gets convicted first and investigated after.
The article "The Delicious Accusation of Genocide," argues the missing variable is Schadenfreude â Richard Landes decade-old term for a Western appetite, rooted in real guilt over real complicity in the Holocaust, for pretending to discover that the survivors turned out to be no better than the people who nearly finished them off. It's not just that the accusation is false. It's that it's enjoyable â which is why it fills city squares and op-ed pages, and why no amount of counter-evidence ever gets it retracted."
Not just Schadenfreude (an ordinary German word we all know), but "moral Schadenfreude" -- that's the term Richard Landes uses for the glee with which the accusation of genocide is turned by the close descendants of its perpetrators on the close descendants of its victims.
That last bit is important.
I think one of the moments it was clearest to me is when I saw someone I used to go to school with post a paragraphs-long screed about how the Jews- I mean Israel- is doing a genocide and how EVIL it is how amazingly uniquely EVIL this is...
And all I could remember was how, in grade school. This guy told me that as a "good German" he would put me "in an oven with the rest of the Jewish pigs" because "it is what my grandfather would have wanted".
And I think that just about sums up how I view everyone gleefully declaring that now the Jews are the genociders.
I used to think it was that these people were using Jews as an outlet for their white guilt.
Now I think that they are as gleeful in the face of our death as their close ancestors were in murdering us.
@thelawfulchaotic, I think this might help give you some context on why people are demanding that you call the situation in I/P a "genocide".
It's not me saying Palestinians are not indigenous to the Levant.
It's Hamas:
âThey donât hate you because they have reasons. They will make reasons to hate you.â
A reminder, since Graham croaked:
You can criticize hypocrisy without making homophobic jokes or using homophobic nicknames.
And if YOU feel YOU can't, that's just a fucking skill issue.
Get good or get blocked. I got no patience for it.
Like genuinely, if I see one more person, but especially one more queer person, whipping out "Lady G" or photoshopping big tits on Graham or making the most fucking boring-ass poppers jokes, I'm gonna fucking lose it.
You can talk about the fact that it's really fucked up that his frequenting of gay sex workers was an "open secret," as was his sexuality full stop, without making jokes that boil down to "hahaha look at the faggot."
