Scene in the Jewish Quarter of Constantine

Théodore Chassériau (French) 1851

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 454

Chassériau witnessed this scene and sketched it in his notebook during a trip to Algeria in 1846. From the ancient town of Constantine he wrote, "I have seen some highly curious things: primitive and overwhelming, touching and singular. At Constantine, which is high up in some enormous mountains, one sees the Arab people and the Jewish people [living] as they were at the beginning of time." The Jewish women of North Africa were especially attractive subjects for European painters because they did not wear veils.

just once it’d be nice if those antizionist jews who say they’re guided by jewish values were referring to ahavat yisrael instead of just tikkun olam

[athingofvikings]

I'm just saying, Neo-Nazis and Leftists should be easier to tell apart when it comes to them talking about Jews. You know. Ideally.

Grammy, Emmy, Oscar, and Tony award-winner @barbrastreisand started out with nothing. No money, no encouragement, no real direction. But she’d find opportunities and take them with gusto, until her big moment finally came. And when it did, she owned it with strategy and confidence that allowed her to build her empire, brick by brick.

The Barbara Walters Special with Barbara Streisand was aired September 13, 1985.

“It’s very important for me to be who I am, and I am Jewish.”

I'm so bored of people pretending that using a stereotype is only bigoted if it's explicitly applied to all members of a marginalized group. "I didn't say all Jews are greedy whiny emasculated parasites who control the government with their money, I just said Zionists are." Guys.

[notaplaceofhonour]

it’s an obvious cop-out because that has never actually functionally been the way these tropes worked.

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion doesn’t say “every single Jew is in the Shadowy Cabal That Controls the World”, just that there is a shadowy Jewish-Zionist “Jewish Supremacist” cabal that runs the world.

OG Medieval Blood Libel didn’t need to claim literally every Jew alive directly participated in murdering whatever Christian child had gone missing to get people to pogrom Jews; they just needed to claim the rabbis of the specific nearest Jewish community did.

The Doctor’s Plot libel didn’t need to be directed at all Jews or even only Jewish doctors to create a pretext for the planned anti-Jewish purges.

Antisemitic rhetoric does not need to claim all Jews are guilty, just that prominent examples of Jews are, or any Jew could be, and the public’s suspicions & propensity to treat others as guilty-until-proven innocent will do the rest of the work.

I don’t think I should have to have encyclopedic knowledge of Jewish-related history and politics to be able to exist as a Jewish person. I’m tired of having to have sources for why I deserve to live

Pro tip: when you see a brand new slang term, your first question should be how that term has been used in AAVE for the past 20-30 years.

This, too. This is a big one as well.

This captures everything I love about being online

[spockwithacat]

I hate how Jews saying anti Israel stuff are treated as a completely unbiased source. I don’t care if a person is jewish or not if they are spreading Khazar theory they are wrong.

[knight-of-skyloft]

The mayor of my city went on a full on Protocols of the Elders of Zion rant about dark Jew money sowing discord and buying power to bend the country to their immoral wills and I have work tomorrow

Heartwarming: the far right and the far left find common ground in blaming the Jews for every single problem in the world.

[aggressivelycareful]

I truly think that if I made a post about the heatwave being the fault of Israel or the Jews somehow, it would absolutely gain traction.

[spot-the-antisemitism]

I saw a post about how its because of the bombs Israel dropped on Gaza

[prince-atom]

I bet it didn't even put it in perspective against all the bombs dropped in Ukraine, or the annual carbon output of the US or China.

[susanoos-wife]

Some people will believe literally anything as long as it makes Jews look bad and it's important that you avoid these people as much as possible.

i’m gonna say it. we’re hot. jews are hot.

“oh but you’re all hairy & have big noses” we aren’t, but I sure as hell am & I think that’s very sexy of me 🤷🏻‍♀️

hairy people? hot. big noses? hot. go have terrible taste somewhere else. jews are sexy (yes even and especially those of us with stereotypical features) & you can’t change my mind.

[notaplaceofhonour]

if i am not hot for myself, then who will be hot for me? if i am not hot for other jews, then what am I? if not now, when?

There is beauty in Reform Judaism.

There is beauty in Conservative Judaism.

There is beauty in Orthodox Judaism.

There is beauty in Open Orthodox Judaism.

There is beauty in Hassidic Judaism.

There is beauty in being a secular Jew.

Judaism in itself is just beautiful.

I love that you can go to any service, any Synoguage and know we are all going to be reviewing the same Torah parsha.

the biggest thing I've learned on the internet is that intracommunity fighting/discourse is literally always pointless, pedantic, ignorant, obtuse, and only serves to benefit the oppressor.

literally, fucking stop. you're not doing anything but licking the boot.
