This account used to be regarding recovery and mental health but now mainly revolves around Judaism, following October 7th.
Less depressing interests include: alt music, video games, psychology, concerts, books, doctor who, beetlejuice, a bunch of other nerdy shit!
I’m starting to think 90% of the internet would’ve snitched on people hiding Jews during WWII

Alright people, G'mar chatima tova 😊. See y'all on the other side! Stay safe

Today, the first thing I noticed stepping off the tramway in my childhood city were the policemen. I didn't think anything of it because they're often around. It was pouring and I was focused on staying dry under the tram stop.
Then I saw the small crowd of maybe 50, 100 people in mostly black, with a few yellow umbrellas here and there, standing in the open with their backs to the square. I quickly googled if it was what I thought it was, and I walked over there in the torrential rain.
Story after story of horror, of trauma, of sexual assault, of dead loved ones were being told on a small microphone, just loud enough to rise above the rain - a young woman's husband who jumped on a grenade for her; the 81 year old Holocaust survivor who only now remembers what she went through as a baby, because she went through it again. There were only a few signs - just pictures with a big KIDNAPPED above it. Most people there were older, but I saw kids too, a little boy my brother's age with a black kippa with Hebrew all around it.
We did a minute of silence at the end. The whole thing was quiet, solemn and unobtrusive. Most people passing by the square probably didn't notice.
Only after I stepped out did I see the policemen again, and understand why they were there. Because even this, the smallest possible acknowledgement of Jewish and Israeli suffering in a big French city carried enough risk to warrant their presence.
But all along I knew why it was pouring when I arrived, and why it slowed just as the gathering ended: the heavens were crying with them.
Am Yisrael Chai.
May the hostages come home. May all of you dance again.
Ok time for a new pinned post, because challas.
Antisemites and tankies fuck off.
Antizionism = antisemitism.
Have a nice day.

dont get me wrong this is #mood but just try eating a piece of bread with salt. please, seriously. ok? at least a tiny bit. salt helps with nausea, bread calms the stomach acid. if you really can’t face eating anything, just lick some salt like a damn elk, then wait and see if you can manage the bread. make some broth if you’re into that kind of thing. no spices, yes salt. if you’re feeling too weak and shaky to do much, just have a cup of tea with sugar (energy) and lemon (again, good against nausea). nibble on the lemon first, it will feel good, but don’t overdo - citric acid on an empty stomach is a majorly bad idea. take care of yourself, you’re the only you we’ve got
i really do wish gentiles understood how utterly decimated the jewish diaspora was by the end of the 20th century in the wake of the wave of pogroms in eastern europe, the shoah and its aftermath, and the expulsions across north africa and south west asia. in the early 1900’s, around 50% of the world’s jewish population lived outside of eretz yisrael or the us. today, that number is 13%. there are countries who had large jewish populations at the turn of the 20th century that now have no jewish presence. there has not been such a large wave of expulsions and fleeing since the spanish inquisition — which is another horrifically traumatizing series of events that gentiles don’t understand the enormity of.
during the spanish inquisition, almost half a million jews were forced on pain of death to convert or flee. thousands were killed, hundreds of thousands fled. until the shoah, it was the single most massive trauma in jewish history since the siege of jerusalem and expulsion from judea. jews made up nearly a quarter of spain’s population and had been there for centuries. some of our most important texts were written there. ladino developed there, sephardic music, culture, and identity. and then it was gone. everywhere the inquisition could reach, from spain to naples to sicily to malta to the americas, the jewish populations were brutalized, genocided, and expelled. it changed the course of jewish history forever.
in the 20th century, within the span of 50ish years, hundreds of thousands of jews were killed in or fled horrific pogroms in eastern europe, a third of the entire jewish population was systematically murdered within the span of a few years, centuries old jewish communities weren’t just expelled but almost entirely wiped out which led to the loss of centuries old diaspora languages and traditions, and nearly a million jews were expelled from places they’d lived for hundreds or even thousands of years.
like. do you understand? do you understand the kind of communal trauma that kind of massive global upheaval has on a people? the expulsion of 300,000+ jews from spanish territories was enough to leave a centuries old mark on the jewish community. do you understand the impact that the murder of over six million and violent displacement of over 2 million jews will have on the jewish psyche and on jewish history? do you have any idea how earth shattering the last century has been for the jewish people? do you have any idea what we’ve lost? what’s been violently stolen from us? can you try?
i posted this less than 20 minutes ago. this post did not mention the state of israel a single time. how rotten does your soul have to be to respond to a post like this with an anonymous message like this?
"factually undergoing a decline"
Israel: 1948
Holocaust: up till 1945 with continuing pogroms and issues through 1948 and beyond
how is that a decline
i think they’re talking abt the past year, which like?? is still not accurate?? antisemitism has been rising since at least 2016 in the us, and in many other countries it’s either not safe to be openly jewish and some you literally cannot go to if you’re jewish????? what fucking planet are these ppl on.
According to Reuters and CNN, antisemitic incidents are up FOUR HUNDRED PERCENT (400%) since October 7th, 2023.
The only people who think antisemitism is on a decline are the people who cannot conceive of antisemitism as a pervasive, consistent thing in the world- they think antisemitism is Nazis marching and saluting and declaring out loud in blunt terms "We hate Jews".
The walls of Jerusalem: Photos of 101 of our loved ones, held hostage for over 365 days.
Wherever we go, they are with us.
It is Oct. 7th. One year. A year since the worst massacre of Jews in a single day since the Holocaust and a year since I witnessed on my dash, in real time, people and blogs I enjoyed and respected actually celebrating this utter depravity and imagining this absolutely evil position gave them moral superiority. An entire year of the total dehumanisation of raped, brutalised, and kidnapped human beings. An entire year of atrocity denying, victim blaming justification of the actions of genocidal antisemitic terrorists. An entire year of hostages being held captive in Gaza being subject to unimaginable treatment, for nothing but the “crime” of daring to live.
An entire year of a repulsive and terrifying global explosion in antisemitic abuse and violence, of Jewish pain and grief being ridiculed, sneered at, and ignored. An entire year of the left loudly and proudly betraying every single ideal they supposedly stood for. An entire year of so-called progressives and human rights activists throwing Jews and Israelis under the bus and patting themselves on the back for it.
My Jewish and Israeli friends, I know today is a painful and traumatic day, as it has been a painful and traumatic year. I hold you all in my heart and my thoughts today and every day and I stand with you unreservedly and unapologetically. Your strength and resilience in the face of unspeakable cruelty, your deep love for those who have been lost and your endless hope for those still in captivity has been inspiring and humbling.
May the hostages return home safe to their families and may there be peace 💙💙🇮🇱🎗
one of the biggest pro-Palestine organizations in Brazil just shared a video of the Selichot prayer at the Wall as “Jews celebrating the invasion in Lebanon”. I’m so tired y’all.
Free palestine ❤️
i have as much of an ability to free palestine as you do, anon
0/10 hate. lowest rate yet. the heart is insulting but not novel. the statement is passive aggressive but in the most ten year old girl way. am i hurt? no. am i rolling my eyes. barely. could this be better automated by a computer? sure, but it isn't even keeping up with the trends. it's not just last season, it's so last year. i knew i was going to have a higher bar for antisemitism after Iran dropped the "all jews control genies" antisemitism conspiracy theory update, but ... come on. we've gone waaaay too far backwards now. sigh.
0/10 hate. i fear antisemitism will morph into the much much more annoying "i'm an ally to jews... *insert blood lible*" phase.
must try harder.
I just saw someone say, "I'm a convert, so I'm technically Jewish," and it made me want to scream and cry.
Converts - adoptees (the term my rabbi uses and I prefer) - you are exactly, precisely, as Jewish as any other Jew. It is halachically forbidden to distinguish between converts and any other Jews. Your soul is a Jewish soul. Period. You're not even supposed to ask if someone's a convert or not. It doesn't matter. You're Jewish.
And if you won't stop minimizing your Jewishness for your own sake, do it for every other convert who deserves not to have their Jewishness minimized or qualified.
Please.
At what point do you not see yourselves in Palestinians? At what point in all of this violence, do you not see yourself in the people of Palestine? I would genuinely like an answer, if you don’t mind. I simply cannot comprehend how you go about your day and not see all of the pain and trauma that was inflicted on the Jewish people in the conflict in Palestine. How do you go about life knowing that what happened to your people is happening to others, some of whom are also Jewish?
ok first of all, to address your latest point, there are no Jewish Palestinians. There have been people who have called themselves Jewish Palestinians or Palestinian Jews at points in history, but they do not exist as a people today - because all of the Jews who once lived in what are now the Palestinian Territories were kicked out in '48. The only Jews in Gaza are the hostages, and the Jews living in the West Bank certainly don't consider themselves Palestinian.
But I will answer your question.
Why must Jewish pain and trauma be projected onto anyone but Jews? Of course I feel for those in Palestine. They are dying in a terrible war. The situation in Gaza is awful. I don't deny that. It's true. I hope that there can be an end to the fighting and actual lasting peace in the middle east very soon. Palestinians deserve it, Lebanese deserve it, Syrians deserve it, Iranians deserve it.
But keep in mind that Israelis are suffering in this war, too. Hundreds of people, including a baby and many others, mostly civilians, are still held hostage in Gaza. Many of those taken have been killed. Those who are still captive are no doubt suffering greatly. Israelis in the north of Israel have faced incessant rocket barrages from Hezbollah since October 8th. Just recently, Iran fired hundreds of missiles towards Tel Aviv.
When I look at this conflict, I see suffering in Gaza. I see how the government of Gaza - Hamas - has stolen aid and resources from Gazan civilians and has embedded themselves into civilian infrastructure. I see how Gazans are starving, unable to get aid, and how their are constantly having to flee. I also see multiple terrorist groups, backed by the Islamic Republic (Iran), who are openly genocidal towards Jews - you can look at the statements their leaders have made and their charters. For example, an entire line of the Houthis' slogan is "a curse upon the Jews". These groups are not subtle about their hatred of Jews - neither in their actions or in their words. I also see how those countries have expelled - in the case of Yemen - every last Jew in the country.
In that, I see echoes, loud ones, of the millennia of antisemitism. And the pain and trauma we have faced does not have to be applied to other groups. It is completely right to ask that we care about Gazan civilians. The vast majority of us do. In my eyes, those who don't are in the wrong. But it is unfair to ask that we apply our own pain, our own trauma, to a situation that does not compare to what we have faced.
I'm not saying that what Gazans are enduring is not awful and terrible. I'm not trying to play oppression olympics here. Don't twist my words. But our pain belongs to us.

I'm an anti-Zionist J*w and I'm here to tell you that anti-Semitism doesn't exist. I wear J*w symbols all the time and have never received any anti-Semitism whatsoever at all ever. Actually it's Palestinians are attacked with anti-Semitism because they're the real Semites. The only anti-Semites are Zionists who use false sneaky anti-Semitism accusations to manipulate the media, and the government, and the world into thinking they're victims. And also neo-Nazis! They're anti-Semitic and super super bad and punch a Nazi everyone!!! I hate fascists. Anyways Zionists keep crying about their synagogues being set on fire or whatever, and like. being murdered or something, but it's all a distraction campaign! Don't listen to it!! Stop talking about anti-Semitism!!!!! Long live the resistance!!!

hey guys. i'm really scared. Synagogues near me have been receiving bomb threats, my friends have been assaulted and told they deserved to be raped, and I'm getting dozens of messages telling me to go back to Auschwitz. Here are 200 comprehensive links of separate cases of Jews being violently attacked or worse in the past few months, just for being Jewish. This is real, and exists, and Jewish people are really terrified right now. I don't know what to do anymore.
