Two Tunisian women from Tunis: Jewish (left) and Muslim (right) - circa 1900s
People like to portray Judaism as a "European" religion so here's all the love to the non-European Sephardic (Turkish, Latin American, North African, Middle Eastern, Hong Kong, Singapore, etc.), Mizrahim (Egyptian, Lebanese, Syrian, etc.), Teimanim, Maghrebim (Moroccan, Tunisian, Libyan, etc.), Beta Israel, Indian Jews (Cochin, Bene Menashe, Bene Israel, Paradesi, etc.), Jews of China (Kaifeng, Ningbo), Latino Jews, converts, Persians, Bukharians, Mountain Jews, and more.
Also f u you here's love to the Ashkenazim and the Krymchaks and the Georgian Jews and the Sephardim who settled in European lands after the expulsion and Italkim and more.

The roots of Zionism were born by the rivers of Babylon, when the Jewish people were exiled from their homeland. It transformed the Jewish longing for Zion (Jerusalem) into a defining national and spiritual aspiration as a collective. Modern political Zionism came much later, but its foundation was laid in the Babylonian Exile.Ā Psalm 137: āBy the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.ā

Leftists: Guys, race and ethnicity are actually social constructs meant to keep us separated! Weāre all humans! (True!)
Also leftists when a Jewish person exists: If youāre not 100% genetically pure you canāt claim to be an indigenous person.
No leftist is saying āyou must be 100% pure to be indigenous.ā What weĀ areĀ saying is thatĀ you cannot be a PolishāUkrainian American whose family never lived in the Middle East and suddenly claim to be āindigenousā to Palestine in order to justify the displacement of the people who actually live there.Ā That isnt Indigeneity thatās political appropriation and itās what a lot of Zionists /israelis claim.
(Palestinians btw descend primarily from ancient Levantine ppl including Canaanites, Judeans, Samaritans, Nabataeans, and Aramaic-speaking populations with only minor Arabian āaddonsā (<5%). This shows deep demographic continuity in the land and proves Palestinian indigeneity.)
leftist: nobody is saying that you have to be 100% pure to be indigenous!
same leftist three seconds later: if your genetic makeup is too european for my liking you're appropriating the middle east
Nobody said anything about genetic purity. You invented that because you canāt deal with the actual point that indigeneity requires a real historical connection to the land. Itās defined by a sustained cultural historical, and geographic continuity with a specific territory. It is not determined by āgenetic purity,ā or by āselfāidentificationā divorced from ancestral connection. Palestinians meet these criteria.diaspora individuals whose ancestors lived in Europe for centuries do not
you canāt be from somewhere then claim to be indigenous to a completely different place š„¹š„¹
jews: we face israel every time we pray, we mention israel in many of our prayers, we mourn our multiple exiles from israel, we have many mitzvot that can only be fulfilled in israel, we have siblings and cousins and family members who live in israel, we have family members buried in israel, every year we express our desire to return to israel, our blood is israeli blood, we are defined as either living in exile from israel or living in our homeland of israel, our holiest sites are all in israel, there has never been a time when there were zero jews living in israel, we have a national concept of am which means that we are one people no matter what, we are killed for being from israel and we live for being from israel,
leftists: indigeneity requires a real historical connection to the land, which you don't have because your great-great grandmother was murdered by Poles for being a jew. Checkmate you white european colonizer.
Everything you listed describes religious tradition, symbolic memory, and modern national identity. None of that establishes indigeneity. Indigeneity is about continuous ancestral presence in a land the people who actually lived there generation after generation. Palestinians have that. A diaspora community whose ancestors lived in Europe, North Africa, or the Middle East for centuries has a religious connection to āIsraelā, not an indigenous one.
And just to be clear: no one is denying that Jews lived in Palestine. Jewish communities existed there continuously. Thatās not the debate. The debate is whether someone whose ancestors lived in Poland, Ukraine, Germany, Morocco, Iraq, etc., for hundreds of years becomes āindigenousā to Palestine because their religion references it. Religious longing isnāt the same thing as ancestral geography.
If prayer direction, liturgy, and longing made people indigenous, then Irish Catholics would be indigenous to Rome and Indonesian Muslims would be indigenous to Mecca. You donāt believe that, because itās obviously not how indigeneity works.
if this is āfunā for you, great,but you still havenāt addressed the actual point
indigeneity is about where your ancestors lived, not where your prayers point.
And honestly, the idea that Palestinians, who have lived continuously in the Levant for millennia, somehow count less than diaspora Europeans because of Jewish religious symbolism, is textbook orientalism. It treats Palestinian rootedness as invisible while elevating European diasporic mythology as more āauthenticā than the lived reality of the people actually from the land.
*leftistly* I get to decide which parts of this ancient ethnoreligion are valid and which parts are superstitious nonsense. I also get to decide which jews are Good Brown Jews and which ones are Bad White Jews! Any jew who tells you that they don't work like that is obviously a Bad White Jew.
Cute monologue, but none of that touches the actual point. Nobody is sorting Jews into moral or racial categories except you. thatās just you dodging the definition of indigeneity. Geography isnāt a vibe check. If your ancestors lived in Europe for centuries, youāre not indigenous to Palestine no matter how dramatic the performance.
Leftists: you cannot be a PolishāUkrainian American whose family never lived in the Middle East and suddenly claim to be āindigenousā to Palestine!
Jews: We do have family in israel, we are one people who never abandoned our land
Leftists: indigeneity requires a real historical connection to the land!
Jews: We have more so much historical connection to the land it's coming out of our ears. Not only that, we have cultural and religious connections too!
Leftists: No wait, I meant that your genetic ancestors have to have lived in the land for centuries without ever moving! Only then can you be indigenous!
Jews: Our ethnoreligion doesn't work like that, we are one nation and we do not engage in blood quantum to determine who is "jewish enough" to be a part of our am
Leftists: why won't you let me cause discord among your ranks??? Er, I mean, the way your ethnoreligion works is wrong! And you're a troll! I'm winning!
Amazing, you ignored everything that was actually said and now youāre arguing with yourself šš¤£
See, this is the cool part! When a leftist is backed into a corner, they turn to mockery and jest. You can copy-paste their arguments like I did, and they'll still claim that you're ignoring what they say!
You didnāt copyāpasteĀ myĀ arguments, you copyāpasted a little script you wrote for an imaginary āleftistā and now youāre congratulating yourself for beating your own invention. Iām just watching you argue with yourself while my actual points sit untouched.
And no, Iām not backed into a corner, Iām simply pointing out how amusing it is to watch you build entire arguments against a version of me that only exists in your headš
Leftists are so obsessed with the idea of being a good person that anyone who threatens their internal view of themselves is considered a cognitohazard. See how this one claims I didnt copy-paste anything they said? It's ugly to see your words and realize how hateful they are, so instead they dodge responsibility. It's a favorite part of their playbook, as a matter of fact! Make a claim, then cry foul when anyone contests it. They like to say you arent really engaging with the argument, you arent playing toys the way they want, because accepting your argument would mean that they did something bad. And if they did something bad, they're a bad person! Since they arent a bad person, they did nothing wrong.
Another neat little thing I noticed with this specimen in particular is that pattern they got, where you shoot down their points and they stop engaging. They like to say things to prove they arent scared or upset. "Im having fun, this is amusing, you didn't actually touch on my points, you're paraphrasing so it doesn't count." They want you to forget what the argument was about because then you would notice that you already won, so they start talking about the conversation itself rather than the contents of the conversation. See what I mean? They know I won. I know I won. But they wanna save face in front of their yes-men. On the off-chance they reblog this part, it'll be to tell everyone to point and laugh at me. They might tell me I gotta defend my points, they might say I didn't do that yet. They might pretend to roll their eyes, call me dramatic, try insinuating that I'm no big deal. It's all about putting up a front, yeah?
Not to overuse a quote, but there's something I like to keep in mind when interacting with leftists like these ones:
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
It tracks, doesn't it? Anyways, I rest my case.
Palestinians dont understand that israelis were kicked out of the Land before even islam was thing some jews stayed in the Land fough back.
The execution of two more protesters early Tuesday triggered widespread grief, anger and defiance across Iran, with many saying the hangings

People claiming "conflating Jews with Israel is the real antisemitism" always bothered me because I just innately had this knowledge that it was stupid, without really realising why. Then it hit me.
It's because I speak french.
When Robespierre demanded French Jews be protected whilst in foreign countries he referred to them as IsraƩlites. Books that document Jewish history and culture in france and francophone areas refer to them as IsraƩlites. When Napoleon removed French Jews' rights, he referred to them as IsraƩlites. Old bible story cartoons I watched referred to Jews as IsraƩlites.
In the dictionary, "IsraƩlites" is literally a synonym of Jew.
In french, IsraƩlite referrs to all ethnic Jews (of Israƫl, Ashkenazi, from Maghreb, etc) regardless of religion. The word "Juif/Juive" (= Jew/Jewish) specifically referred to people who practice Judaism, regardless of ethnicity (so converts were more often referred to as Juif, rather than IsraƩlite, if they were not ethnically Jewish). "IsraƩliens" was used to refer to people of Israeli nationality, regardless of ethnicity or religion.
Over time the usage of "IsraƩlite" kinda got replaced with Juif/Juive, as languages change, but it's still not entirely uncommon in literature and research papers.
So it bothered me because I grew up speaking a language that acknowledges Jews' ethnic origins being from the kingdom of Israel, so all I was reading was basically "it's violently hateful towards french people to conflate the french with france"
eating disorders and abortions are two things that are like, spoken about in most mainstream discourse as though they are pretty rare and aberrant, but then when youāre actually friends with a lot of women you come to find out that they are extremely extremely common and kind of banal & mundane
Thats true most married women that i know of had abortions/miscarriages (they induced)
This person reblogs gaza scammers btw. Blocklist.
people who post about their incest, rape and pedophilic fantasies publicly can fucking die and i really donāt care. even if we ignore the fact that public posts are not āthoughtsā, āthought crimesā are about exploring ideology, science and theory, not talking about how you wanna rape ur little sister.
ur not profound for posting ur mother x daughter porn on tumblr and you arenāt making ideological breakthroughs, ur posting it bc it makes you hard and you wanted to spread the joy of getting hard at the thought of children being abused. and yeah personally i think if ur encouraging people being aroused at the idea of child abuse u can fucking die.
get off to something normaler that doesnāt involve torturing an unconsenting party. i believe in you. āthe feminists are trying to tell us what we can and canāt jerk off to!!ā first of all, iām primarily only saying donāt spread it around publically, especially where children are present, like a mental STD. second of all, yeah i guess i donāt think you should jerk it to physical and psychological torment of children, guess that makes me Big Brother or something. idgaf.
WORD FOR WORD
āIf a movement declares that a man can define what it means to be a woman based on his feelings, but a woman cannot define being a woman based on her material reality, then it is a movement for the interests of men.ā

They're killing our people again.
They're hanging them, cutting their life short, right in front of everyone to see. Their families, their loved ones, and then a bunch of parasites that lick the ground they walk on and cheer for the death of a human being.
This regime has to go.
So why the fuck won't they? How much more do they want to take and take and take from us? How many more are they going to kill?
Long live Iran,
Death to the Islamic republic.
Smiling seeing cute kid/baby videos but then suddenly aināt shit funny bc why are you posting your kids on the internet you dumb bitch take this shit down now donāt fucking do that
manā¦my Jewish tag is almost empty whilst my antisemitism tag is overflowing with posts. itās so sad. they just wonāt let us live..we try to join goyishe spaces, they harass us out of those, we make our own safe spaces, they invade them. we support their causes, but surely weāre still plotting against them in secrecy. we do not support their cases and focus on our own oppression, we are called professional victims that lie about our oppression. is there any way for us to exist in peace?
