I see no difference between the crowd that villainizes every Israeli/jew and the crowd that villainizes every Palestinian/muslim
Yall are the exact same human garbage that can't see outside your shitty narrow worldview, go fuck yourselves
So I already loved this song and was excited to hear more from the band.
This is not the deterrent op seems to think it is lol.
Anyway jumblr new band alert !!
What the fuck is the FOI, as if IOF want stupid enough
Stop making up abbreviation😭
What is it with media creators who pride themselves on nuance throwing it all out once the I/P conflict is brought up
It really makes you feel insane, doesn't it? People will be reasonable, seemingly empathic, friendly, and then… a switch is flipped and everything they ever stood for doesn't apply for Jews. Just like that.
The endless irony of those posts that are like IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE LOVE REALLY DOES CONQUER ALL ALL WE HAVE IS EACH OTHER AND THAT'S BEAUTIFUL and then you go to their page and it's just 6000 pages of them celebrating terrorist attacks against Jews and calling for the execution of anyone who questions the greatness of Mao Zedong.
How come in Hebrew you say, literally, "good morning" and "good night", but then you say "good afternoons?" Why is it plural?
well first of all many people dont say it correctly and dont pluralize the "good" eother
but thats just. the word
Go outside in Israel at 2 pm and tell me afternoon isn't plural.
Honestly the amount of people I've talked to who formed an opinion on the geopolitics of the middle east who were suprised to learn that hezbollah is not the elected government of Lebanon, and the elected government is seperate and hates hezbollah is shocking.
If you do not know that basic fact, you should be shutting the fuck up!
ah yes what a great time to be an argentinan-israeli jew
anyone else would like to join my haters’ club
apparently i’m taking in new customers
They just can't handle how hot you are
When someone said the worst thing from the world wars is that israel exists, so I lowkirkeunly have to nuke the world
Yea like the 6 million jews getting murdered, or the millions of other deaths either wasn't the bad part. Jews being safe is the bad part apparently. Same people to claim to not be antisemitic btw. Lol. Lmao even.
How is Itamar Ben Gvir a real person
this picture was posted in a quote tweet of the above, btw
I have to fucking defend Israel from wacko antisemitism and conspiracy theories like "no there are no spy dolphins, no they don't train dogs to rape people"
But NOW I have to be like "yeah the one where they keep Palestinian prisoners in a complex surrounded by a moat filled with alligators is real" ?????
I'm so fuckin tired man
The sooner Ben Gvir has a fatal traffic accident, the better.
Rabin was assassinated and Ben Gvir still draws breath with zero problems.
If youre israeli - GO VOTE ON OCTOBER 27
If you're not living in israel but have an israeli passport - COME ON OCTOBER 26 AND GO VOTE ON THE 27 (and make sure your name is registered or somth i dont know the technicalities)
please guys we have to get them out of here😭
jsyk the op of the post about jewish music you reblogged is a zionist
Okay, sure, let's have it out. I imagine I'll pretty much piss off everyone with this.
First: the only confidence I have in my understanding of the political situation of the Middle East is that I have no fucking understanding whatsoever of the political situation in the Middle East. Sure, I've read plenty. I have friends of many many stripes. But I'm not a victim of the Dunning-Kruger effect here, folks: I know enough to know how much I don't know, and how much I know is tons.
Second, you say that person is a "zionist." There are three things I find pretty annoying about this as a defense attorney. One is that the term is not defined, and the other is that there is a complete lack of evidence. The third is the implicit assumption that being a "zionist" is enough to wholeheartedly condemn anyone.
Let's tackle these one by one. And, once again, I am neither a scholar of Jewish history nor Middle Eastern history nor anything except American criminal law.
First: definition. There are many possible meanings of zionist that I see people use. One potential meaning of "zionist" seems to be "is Jewish, but fails to disavow Israel as fast and loud as I personally want them to." Sometimes the meaning of "zionist" is just "is Jewish." Sometimes it's "a Jewish person who wishes for a return to a very distant ancestral homeland." Sometimes it's "wholehearted supporter of Israel's war crimes." A lot of pointless arguing, it seems to me, is centered around someone saying they are zionist, i.e., they would like Jewish people to someday have a nice homeland where they don't feel like a strange political chunk in another country, and another person hears that they are zionist, i.e. they enjoy wholesale slaughter of civilians.
Second: No evidence. Self-explanatory. You are an anon. I don't know why I'm supposed to trust your word. I read police reports for a living and I am supposed to be able to trust them, and let me tell you how many lies they contain.
Third: the assumption of condemnation. I literally defend the human rights of sex criminals in court. I defend murderers. What we are talking about, right now, at best, is a human person expressing an opinion, however potentially damaging and offensive (depending on definition of zionism and truth of accusation). Do you think I'm gonna say that Jewish people who express an opinion are inhuman and deserve segregation from the rest of us?
Do you think I'm ever going to stop reaching out my hand to people who use violence? Do you think I'm ever going to lose the hope that someday they will lose the fear that makes them resort to violence?
Finally, now that I've spent some time listing my problems with your case, so what.
Let's use an example closer to home. I'm an American, and I do in fact believe that America is a nation and will continue to be so, and that tearing down all government to give it back to indigenous people (something that is, to be clear, to my understanding, not comparable with any kind of political situation in Israel) is not possible as things stand. And yet nobody's here interrogating me about Donald Trump and his bombing of Iran or whether I support ICE's jackbooted thuggery.
A little further from home? If I met a Russian person, my first ask would not be "Tell me in detail your thoughts on Ukraine and Putin."
And in those two examples, I myself and this hypothetical Russian person are actually members of the country in question that is doing the thing. A Jewish person who is not Israeli isn't even that.
Listen. I think there's a lot to be unpacked about how the insularity of Jewish culture and the separateness of it from the countries where it lives is both in the interest of continuing the Jewish ethnicity and in the interest of the people who want Jewish people exterminated, and how the double-pull of those two interests maintain a tension that otherwise might dissipate. I think there's something real to be analyzed about how modern anti-semitism isn't a recurrence of medieval anti-semitism but a different thing, a sign of fascist thinking.
I think there is a horrific tragedy for everyone involved that the group who was decimated beyond belief in the blackest events in human history now has a very loud and visible nation channeling their survival into rage and violence.
I think that there are lots of Arab nations around Israel that would gladly see every person in it subject to that same rage and violence, and I'm not down with that shit either.
I think the history of who colonized who and when and what pogroms did what and how violence and why are all too fucking complicated to untangle.
I think the only way truly forward for Israel and Palestine is some kind of truth and reconciliation type thing and that Israel as it stands is too scared to see all their atrocities come to light.
I was raised atheist with college professor parents, so you can bet Jewish people in academia were part of my life from an early age. I don't understand antisemitism literally at all. It's completely incomprehensible to me. I also think Arab culture is gorgeous and studied Arabic in college. I don't discount the idea that I have subconscious biases; I've done my best to unpick them, but it's lifelong work.
The whole goddamn clusterfuck is a great example of why violence begets violence begets violence. I reject the idea that One Final Ass-Kicking on anyone's part will solve any one of these problems. The only thing that ends violence is not choosing violence. And that can't happen until enough people in and out of power want the violence to stop. There. Not here. There. It can't be imposed from outside. It has to come from within.
And that's a decision -- I must add -- that I seriously could not have less to do with. White Americans should not be making any of the related decisions.
Here endeth the essay, with one final note.
My Jewish friends are safe on this blog. My Arab friends are safe on this blog. That's all.
Okay you might not be a scholar on the conflict, but this is unironically the best take that someone not a party to the conflict itself can take right now. To call for peace and stability and not be an accelerant to the conflict.
It is best for the civilians caught in the middle to not encourage the continuatiin of violence. And it is best for those of us drowning in the splash effect as the whole world (minus you and a few others) have gleefully turned on Jews.
You are also giving a sign of hope, which has been rapidly disapearing, about the possibility of being able to safely live in the US.
As a Jewish American, and a Jewish woman I can't emphasize enough how reassuring this response was and how grateful I am to see it.
op this was great beside for this one point which must be made very clear.
and how the double-pull of those two interests maintain a tension that otherwise might dissipate
this was tested already. it is called the shoah. german Jews were THE most assimilated. they were germans first, jews second (moses mendelsohns jew at home, german in the street thing, and many of them were barely jews at home).
assimilation has never been a defense against jew hatred. in fact. nothing is. jew haters will hate us regardless of what we do. thus, we should not give up our identities and values and squeeze into a box that will be lit on fire anyway.
Another thing that bothers me is the notion that "zionist" may have many different definitions. It doesn't.
Zionism is the acknowledgement that Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people (historical fact) and that we deserve to live and to have self-determination in our homeland.
Any other definition (e.g. wants to kill all the Arabs) is made up by people who want to create the illusion that zionism is some sinister ideology, in order to defend their "antizionism", which is just antisemitism with a shiny new coat of paint.
Every time I see a URL I don't recognize that posted something about antisemitism I get this delusional burst of hope that it's a gentile who finally decided to stand up for us and every single time I click on the blog and it's a Jew. And like hello to the shalomies and all that but jeez louise we are fucked.

I think its hilarious that people who wanted Argentina to lose were blaming israel for them getting as far as they did at the world cup, whilst Argentina fans blame israel for them losing.
Israel didn't even qualify for the world cup.
People refuse to believe that corruption can exist unless jews are involved.
Because at the end of the day the world cup was corrupt. Argentina were allowed to essentially change sport and play UFC on the pitch with little repercussion, and Messi tried to get a Spanish player red carded for tapping his mouth, under a new rule brought in after an Argentinian player made a racist comment in a non world cup game (that said player then tried to defend by saying he didn't make a racist comment, he made a homophobic one). You also had trump interfering with the red card suspension for a U.S. player. You also had visa issues with the Iranian team.
However none of that was caused by Israel.
Someone set off a homemade bomb in NYC to "protest ICE" which of course injured 3 random bystanders and 0 ICE agents or anyone associated with ICE. Once again I am on my soapbox that the left has become as likely to commit terrorist attacks as the right and they always just fucking kill/injure random people, like all terrorists. You're not Katniss. Stop trying to kill people at complete random in a Marx Honoring Way.
