Not to be a Boomer but your social media should be your own space, not something employers are allowed to look at to judge you beyond the qualifications stated in your resume and cover letter

a reminder that “holy week/easter” is coming up this week.

good friday” is this friday and easter is the following sunday, so we are likely to see an uptick in antisemitism, particularly tropes around deicide and blood libel. if you see this, call it out.

if you are jewish, please look after yourself. avoid the internet if you can, engage in some self care, connect with your jewish community.

if you are not jewish, particularly if you are christian or raised christian or live in a dominantly christian society, you need to be aware of the history of antisemitism and antisemitic violence surrounding the easter season and the ways it manifests today. you should be actively working to uncover the antisemitism you have absorbed throughout your life and actively encouraging others to do the same.

Oh my god, once again reminding people that Jews in the SWANA region being scared of being murdered if Israel is dismantled are not comparable to white Americans and Canadians being scared of indigenous sovereignty. The entire world, and that includes Muslim countries, has a very very long history of violently expelling and brutally murdering its Jewish communities; Israel itself has many, many refugees and descendents of refugees from other countries in Asia and Africa, countries that do not want those people back.

The comparison to white North Americans is absurd, cruel, and ahistorical; the claim that Jewish people lived in happiness and peace and safety in SWANA countries before Israel's founding is a complete fabrication and blatant victim blaming. Many of the countries surrounding Israel and throughout the SWANA region have Jewish populations that can literally be counted on one hand and that isn't because people just abandoned their homes and friends and communities to move to Israel for funsies, it's because many of them were brutally murdered or expelled from their homes, with the rest fleeing out of fear for when they would be next.

I am saying this as a Native person who is 100% in favor of indigenous sovereignty in my home country and who is fully against the treatment of Palestinians by the Israeli government. If you cannot acknowledge how antisemitism is still very much alive and an active danger to Jewish people all across the world and how many people fled to Israel specifically to escape violence, then you really cannot have any sort of meaningful conversation about Israel.

“First of all, I’m not convinced it [the Niemoller quote] is true. They always come for the Jews but they don’t always come for the Communists or the Catholics or the trade unionists, not least because the Communists and the Catholics and the trade unionists are sometimes busy coming for the Jews themselves. There is a more fundamental objection. ‘The hate that begins with Jews never ends with Jews.’ To which I ask: So what if it did? What if the fractious bigotries stirred by the Labour Party limited themselves to the Jewish people? Would they be any more tolerable? Why does the left recoil instinctively from hatred of blacks and Muslims and Asians but require a three-hour PowerPoint presentation and a course of diversity training when it comes to Jews? Why is empathy unlocked only by fear the tormentors of the Jews may one day turn on others?”

It’s gonna be a bit fractious and controversial in some quarters, but “not least because the Communists and the Catholics and the trade unionists are sometimes busy coming for the Jews themselves” is a LINE though, come on. Daisley doesn’t get it right all the time - in fact, I frequently think he’s a twat in terms of ideology and personality, but on racism and bigotry he is always bang on.
