Another violent attack on Jews in London today. Stabbing, two men in hospital. The attacker has yet to make any published statement of motive.

The Labour party gave a reasonable statement ("outrageous attack", "an attack on Jews is an attack on Britain"). The Green Party, ostensibly led by a Jew but very much catering to the young social justice crowd, made a statement little better than "thoughts and prayers"

The comments under the prime minister's statement are full of "but Israel is being so meeeeean".

Pretending that the pro-Palestine movement has not been infiltrated by people actively using it to drive violent antisemitism is naive at best and collusive at worst.

The fact that calling this out gets one labelled a "genocide apologist" is a feature, not a bug. Criticism of antisemitism is being silenced, and that is a tool of violence in and of itself.

If only somebody had said this was happening... Oh wait. We did. "Paranoid", they said. "Victim complex", they said. Do you think they'll even bother to pretend they've changed their minds, when the blood gets too thick to ignore? Or will they just say we deserved it?

"What is happening now in left and progressive spaces quietly reverses that progress. It teaches people, often without realizing it, that some identities can be treated as morally contingent. It reshapes how people think about other groups. It lowers the threshold for dehumanization. It makes it easier, over time, to more broadly justify dismissing suffering, othering, acts of discrimination anywhere it becomes politically inconvenient.

That is exactly how prejudice evolves itself into something systemic. By changing the rules of who is allowed to be seen clearly. And this is where it becomes personal.

Most people reading this do not think of themselves as antisemitic. They would never use a slur. They would never straight out and openly deny someone’s humanity. But that is not how this shows up anymore. It shows up in smaller decisions we make as progressive and left leaders these days. In what we excuse. In what we scroll past. In which deaths feel complicated instead of tragic and unacceptable. In whether we instinctively see a person or a position when we hear the word “Zionist” or “anti-Zionist.”

You can oppose Israeli policy. You can reject Zionism. You can defend it. None of those positions require you to sort Jews, Israelis, Palestinians, Arabs or Muslims into categories that determine whether they deserve empathy. If your framework depends on deciding which Jews are acceptable and which are not, or which civilians matter and which do not, then the issue is not that your politics are controversial. It is that your reasoning has already crossed a line that civil rights traditions were meant to prevent. The civil rights standard was never agreement. It was consistency. No collective guilt. No dehumanization. No conditional empathy.

We already know how to apply these principles. We are watching what happens when we fail to. The only question is whether we are willing to apply them when it challenges our own assumptions. Because if we cannot, then all we have really done is learn how to recognize injustice selectively.

And selective justice is not justice for all."

Full reminder that allyship and activism can be critical... but it should never be conditional.

yeah the 2020s have been difficult but at least we have the consolation that a single season of modern tv now takes 5 years to make and lasts about 16 seconds

I really like how the scientology speedrunning trend is developing, in this clip we see that the participants are

Not deterred by the closed door

Working as a group

Protecting their identities

Inflicting material costs to the institution via property destruction

Getting away at the end

These ideas were not all here from the beginning. They are genuinely gaining experience that can be applied elsewhere

[liirker-at-thresholds]

The church of scientology is on tumblr and they are sending me anon asks telling me that they can't even commit to reporting a post

if you want jews out of your country, you don’t get to keep our shit. you can’t use any yiddish sayings anymore like schmutz or nosh or klutz. you can’t have any jewish inventions either like instant cameras and cherry tomatoes and also the polio vaccine. it also means you can’t watch any movies made by jews or music made by jews or food made by jews. do you know how fucking boring life would get without us??

My dear brothers and sisters of the diaspora,

I know what we're going through right now in Israel might seem terrifying. However, in the last two years, I've been reading post after post of diaspora Jews discovering that their close friends, their romantic partners, and sometimes even their spouses, have either morphed into or revealed themselves to be the most vile antisemites imaginable - people who justify the killing of Jews.

And I just wanted to say: that sounds way more terrifying than anything I've been through. I admire your bravery and resilience.

Teeheehee, off to do my little schemes 😜

[patrochilles-or-bust]

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

[patrochilles-or-bust]

Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.

Me 3 years ago: "Me being Jewish is the happenstance of my birth. I don't feel super connected to this aspect of my identity."

Me after spending 2.5 years in the psychological pressure cooker that is post-7/10 internet: "So anyway my D&D character is descended from Jews that got isekai'd into the setting a few centuries ago. Her society is divided into 12 major tribes named after precious stones. Her dream is to one day visit Real Life Jerusalem through a portal like the one that brought her ancestors to this world -"

"everyone is paying super close attention to everyone else all the time" actualy statistical error. hypervigilance georg, who enters fight or flight when someone starts breathing differently, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

[bakurapika]

#this one's for the people who hear 'people aren't paying that close attention to you! I mean do YOU pay that close of attention to them?'#and go: unfortunately yeah!!!!!!!#you are georg hope this helps. love u#hang in there one day u will be able to pay less attention all the time (tags from op)
