My, my… what big teeth you have! Meet the Pacific stargazer (Astroscopus zephyreus). Found in coastal waters from California to Peru, this fish is an ambush hunter. Spending most of its life buried beneath the sand, the stargazer’s upturned face is an adaptation that allows it to see even when most of its body is concealed. What’s more? This species is capable of stunning prey with electrical shocks of up to 50 volts! Photo: alboertoalcala, CC BY 4.0 iNaturalist

holding jews verbally hostage until they prove whatever humanity you seek before listening to them or treating them as humans is antisemitic by the way

[peas-cukes]

And if you try to argue that “it should be easy to say if they’re [a good person]” that is still a problem! You believing its “easy to pass your test” does not make it any less antisemetic and a shitty thing to do!

Rome’s Pride parade bars Jewish LGBTQ float over refusal to call Gaza war ‘genocide’

Roma Pride has has become "itself an instrument of exclusion," said a board member for Keshet Italia

While Keshet Italia members could still march on foot with flags and banners, the group said that was not a viable option due to safety concerns in the wake of Oct. 7, which is why they had requested a float.

While anyone can march in the parade, a float requires a formal request.

The decision comes one year after Keshet members were attacked at the parade by marchers who called them terrorists and murderers, made Nazi salutes and attempted to rush the float. Police were forced to evacuate the group before the end of the parade.

Roma Pride’s latest decision drew immediate condemnation from Jewish organizations across Italy. The Jewish community of Rome called it “a blatant act of discrimination against Italian citizens solely because they are Jewish."

The Union of Italian Jewish Communities wrote in a statement, “No one should be required to pass an ideological test to participate in a space born with the goal of inclusion.”

The manifesto they were asked to sign was one designed to exclude Jews, but by asking everyone to sign it they get to pretend is not exclusionary. It also has nothing to do with Pride.

Millions of Jews are thinking thoughts we do not express. You cannot live in a Jewish body after the Holocaust without being troubled by such musings about that body’s nature and fate at the hands of others who can define it at will. Like people living on the San Andreas Fault, or in other places prone to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornados, forest fires, mudslides, and the like, Jews aware of their history live with the ongoing sense that a social or societal quake may make non-Jews their enemies more or less overnight. And since those others are far more numerous, our vulnerability is obvious. The social structure may suddenly shift beneath us, leaving us scrambling rather desperately for a foothold. It is not a paranoid fantasy, it’s a historical reality. It probably can’t happen “here,” we think, but then again perhaps it can.
