“weaponizing antisemitism” is literally just the Jewish-specific version of “you’re playing the race card”

it’s not that no one ever ever ever does it, but if it’s something you think you have to constantly be on guard about, you are telling on yourself

narratively I am a fan of romances that don’t ever actually become romances

I don’t mean in an aromantic life partner way, I mean romantic tension that is never resolved or acted upon for whatever reason but by the end it’s clear that both characters experienced the love of their lives without ever acknowledging it as such. but they know. they know.

There's this perception on here among neurodivergent people that neurotypical social behaviour is all fake and arbitrary. That it's a cruel, baseless game played to "weed out" ND people or to cause pain and complicate things on purpose.

This is wrong. All of those social rules and nuances ARE communication. Sorry if this is rude but it's not the NTs' fault if things don't gel- the gap goes both ways. Just because communication doesn't make sense to you, doesn't mean it's random or purposeless. Remember this post?

Every interaction in an NT conversation has purpose, and communicates something, and I don't understand why nobody ever explains this to ND people. There's information on basic stuff like facial expressions, but never what any of it actually means.

Small talk about the weather isn't about the weather. It's about how nice it is to be around the people you're talking to, or feeling out their understanding of the world, or just saying that you're both present and people and you're being people together. It's not literal. The words are, but the broad scope isn't.

A conversation is not just an exchange of words, it's an exchange of acknowledgement, attention, and emotional understanding. Of course it confuses people when their part in that exchange is met with flat affect or unembelished words. It's like looking in a mirror and not seeing your reflection.

When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.

this is probably my favorite proposed i/p solution—a two-state confederation with freedom of movement (a palestinian citizen can live in israel and vice versa). i think this is more likely to work than a single binational state, given the history of binational states.

it was developed by israelis and palestinians and has supporters from both backgrounds.

It’s very telling that Jews satirizing the antisemitism they’re received can literally just repeat the actual specific things that have been said to them—word-to-word with no exaggeration—while Anti-Zionists trying to satirize the supposed weaponization of antisemitism have to reach for ridiculously hyperbolic & fictitious situations like this.

There is nowhere in this world where a sweet little child is sitting innocently with her dear papa, asking with pleading eyes, “why, oh why, papa, are people starving in Gaza?” where the father must gaze mournfully into his child’s eyes and stamp out her curiosity with a “oh, how I wish I could tell you, but alas, to tell the truth would be antisemitic!” There are, however, an upsetting amount of people who literally believe that a cabal of Jews is manipulating the world to allow them to genocide and replace goyim with Jews—no need for exaggeration—and who will ask leading & loaded questions, not out of genuine curiosity and desire for discovery, but as a rhetorical device to lead people to the desired conclusion.

The framing this cartoon employs is so ubiquitous in conspiracy theories & bad faith arguments it has a name: “Just Asking Questions™️”

And it’s a tactic Jews are all-too-familiar with, due to antisemites packaging their antisemitism as “the Jewish Question”.

It isn’t antisemitic to actually try to understand the causes of a humanitarian crisis, and I have never seen a single person ever say it is. But sure, if you ask leading, loaded, and dishonest questions about a humanitarian crisis that implies it’s a conspiracy by a cabal or single political actor who’s pulling the strings to make it happen, or a plot out of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, or Jews replacing other populations like you’d see in a shooter’s manifesto or shouted at a Nazi rally, then yeah, those things are going to get called antisemitic, because they are.

So let’s ask that question: why are people in Gaza starving? Well, there are a lot of reasons that stack and compound each other. To begin with, it isn’t uncommon for war to displace people and destroy infrastructure, both of which impact food production and distribution. In fact, it was found that conflict and violence are the primary causes of hunger and famine around the world even before this war. The fact that Hamas uses civilian infrastructure as their bases and Israel deems the destruction of that infrastructure as an acceptable loss in rooting out Hamas hasn’t helped. On top of that, bandits robbing aid before it can reach hungry people—as well as Hamas having a penchant for doing the same and using aid to smuggle and hide weapons—has presented a lot of challenges to delivering aid. Because of these security issues, Israel blocked aid completely at the beginning of the war. However, Israel has been working with other countries to deliver aid in ways that will address those issues, and has since allowed aid through the Kerem Shalom crossing from Israel, the Rafah crossing from Egypt, and air drops. Nevertheless, these haven’t been efficient enough to fully address starvation.

In short: war often causes food insecurity, and the specifics of the logistical, geographic, and geopolitical issues in Israel & Palestine have created a lot of complications that exacerbate that humanitarian crisis, leaving the people of Gaza caught in the middle and starving.

See? Not antisemitic. It’s not that hard.
