#WIN FOR THE JEWS

[tiny-bird-of-sunshine]

there is something so satisfying about two of the most famous and anticipated movies this year, that both broke box office records, both having a jewish protagnist. take that antisemites.

#oppenheimer is jewish #i didn't know but it's reference multiple times throughout the movie and is a fairly important thing #and they have multiple other jewish characters. like a good third of them #barbie is jewish #barbie was made by a jewish woman #and they make a few (respectful) jokes about being jewish that were actually really funny #WIN FOR THE JEWS #jewish #jew #jewish tumblr #oppenheimer #barbie #barbenheimer #barbie movie #barbie 2023 #oppenheimer movie #oppenheimer 2023 #ruth handler #AND in barbie the woman who plays ruth was jewish along with one the lead writer and others

Don't let threats against synagogues scare you out of going. The people making these threats want you to be scared. They want you to be so scared that you don't feel safe living your life as a proud and visible Jew, so scared that you take your menorah out of your window and remove your mezuzah from your doorpost. The more you concede, the more they feel like they're winning and the more emboldened they get.

Now, more than ever, we need Jews to be loud, proud and unapologetic. You should not be afraid to exist as a Jew. Wear your star of David. Wear your kippah. And take pride in who you are and where you come from.

#no more 'im jew-ish' no youre a jew #we are not cowards #we are not weak #i cannot stress to you how much they see this as a game that they intend to win #even if its fucking scary to be openly jewish thats why you need to be! #They are playing the long game and part of it is trying to scare us into hiding #we are not going into hiding #jumblr #judaism #frumblr #jew stuff #jewish #jewblr #jewish stuff #j tag #jewish tag #if anyone argues 'but i dont feel safe wearing it in my area' im going to respond to you the same way #thats why you need to wear it #you do not make things better by not wearing it #'its not my responsibility to make things better' it absolutely is #like it nor not there are so few of us that each jew becomes like a spokesperson for the rest of us #you are likely going to be the first jew someone has ever met #and its important that you give the impression of pride and not 'eh im kind of jew-ish' #because when people see that they take it as a sign that if you dont respect it it's not worth respecting so they dont have to either #anyway #also they get so fucking mad when we're proud about being jewish and its funny to see #every time i make a post about loving being jewish my inbox is like #'you dirty jew i wish you all died in the holocaust' lol theyre sooo mad when we are proud of who we are

falsettos in yiddish. that's the post

#UGH BUT CAN HYOU IMAGINE #the commentary on the nuclear family would be on ANOTHER LEVEL #the commentary on JEWISH IDENTITY & MASCULINITY????? so FUCKING rich & complex #& having the lesbians from next door speak english. & having unlikely lovers be in both yiddish and english at the same time. OHHHHHHH #🎶 kvetch kvetch kvetch kvetch modne modne modne modne kvetch kvetch kvetch kvetch kvetch kvetch 🎶 #the jokes would be funnier. the sad parts would hit harder. all in all the range of human emotion would be more intense & more moving #because it's carrying thousands of years of trauma and it's carrying it in such a way that physically cannot be ignored or bypassed #it would also be the biggest win for queer jews since like. harvey milk #SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO IT I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE #I'LL LEARN YIDDISH AND TRANSLATE IT MYSELF #falsettos

a previous mutual of mine: 'I can grieve jewish life while also not being an imperialist, you're antisemitic for suggesting i'm pro-genocide for centering jewish lives and not wanting to talk about palestinians at this time! you're holding too much standards for a grieving people!'

same mutual: *unfollows me for posting donation links for palestinian children and hospitals and absolutely nothing against jewish people*

if you're only grieving jewish deaths — please ask yourself why some lives are more grievable than others.

#you're worse than the avidly pro-israel crowd bc you're disguising your genocidal political thought as grief and humanitarian concern #y'all are really truly showing your true colors #the [white] jewish diaspora in the US has a HUGE problem of conflating their religion with a settler-colonial political ideology #it's actually really depressing to watch from a distance; i could not imagine doing that with my own religion #and its sad because there are so many anti-zionist jews working hard in both combating antisemitism AND anti-muslim racism / colonialism #yet you're still stuck in your racist colonial bubble when people within your community are reaching out to you to change #do better #also i blocked her so — i win bitch lol #palestine

things you shouldn't say if you wanna claim the moral high ground.

(context being me pointing at that, yes, what susan sarandon said was actually antisemitic, which got me, like, 4+ paragraphs rife with false claims and Even More Antisemitism in response, apparently meant to be directed at me? bc they somehow assumed the only reason anyone would point out antisemitism is if they're a white jewish zionist. makes you think!)

#'maybe for once let Black and brown people speak about our oppression without claiming to share in it' #when all the while i'm a wholeass born and bred negro? an angry black woman if you will. unprecedented i know #i missed screenshotting 'white jews gave me trauma so i only follow antizionist jews n jews of color so i don't actually become antisemitic #and that comment has since been deleted bc that's incredibly indefensible. but you can probably still see my comment responding to that #(which is another thing. imagine using an ongoing tragedy and making it about Yourself. and you're in your 30s) #anyway! this place is a freakshow. and i'm not blotting out the person's name bc fuck 'em. that's on them and their bigotry #this was equal parts irritating and absurd. at least i'm posting this shit at 1 in the AM so it annoys less people on my dash #but i just needed this on record. like did you do it? did you fight the racism? did you win activism? should i clap? #rambles #antisemitism

[mintytrifecta]

#NO I DIDN'T FORGET THIS SHUT UP #I ALREADY MISSED LAG BAOMER I WILL NOT MISS THIS ONE #shavuot #Judaism #Jewish holidays #Jumblr #i wish all a very pleasant evening #Also this goes double for any queer jews happy shavuot #Guys it's Ruth's holiday we win gays

the release of the new 1999 ag historical twins is indicative of a lot of problems with the company and its dolls and its decisions lately, but one that is personally driving me up the wall now is just. how many more dolls are we going to get of girls in middle/upper-middle class homes with a perfect family?? like im not at all saying that every story needs to be full of tragedy and drama, of course not, but it just feels like the stories have gotten cleaner and cleaner and cleaner. the issues are smaller, sometimes even glossed over. i thought wbu was going to steer the company towards telling more "mature" stories where issues are directly addressed, but it feels like we're instead getting more and more stories about girls in comfortable homes with perfect families and comparatively minor issues. that's part of why they're starting to feel so samey. where's the diversity?? where's the variety??

#syd squeaks #I know u need them to be somewhat wealthy so u can generate accessories blah blah but fucking come on #american girl #ag #american girl doll #and like yeah the twins are jewish which is a win for us as jews but like. is it going to be discussed? #will we actually get jewish accessories?? will it come up in their stories?? will it be addressed #and not just in a superficial 'oh look its hanukkah for one paragraph' way

have no patience or respect for ppl who expect--require--colonized peoples to have patience/respect/manners in the face of their own ethnic cleansing.

palestinians dont have to be kind to or about israelis or jews or anyone at all no offence; they could be saying "i hate all jews" 24/7 (and they're NOT, by the way) and they still wouldn't Deserve to be ethnically cleansed. and i despise the people suggesting that's the case. like people who are facing literal extermination need to be model minorities or people won't deign to help them not be ethnically cleansed. sickening that thats so many peoples priority. how nice someone is in the face of extermination.

#disgusting sorry like i dont actually care if the people being ethnically cleansed are antisemetic or not #AND THEYRE NOT! ppl are just lying about this because they want to win the propaganda war #but the fact that ppl are Actually actually like 'oh man. palestinians hate jews' as though that by any means exonerates the genocide. #does it matter? does it matter if the colonized people have said slurs? does it mean they deserve death? for fucks sake LOL #their rage doesnt have to be Unproblematic what the fuck #personal #delete #so many people are just fucking braindead like on god. hashem smite these clowns. #its free palestine forever and unconditionally

idk man i've reblogged and said things about how certain people on this site and the bird one are putin defenders, syrian/ukranian genocide deniers, outright white supremacists, avowed antisemites, etc. pointed out the ways in which the current moment is being happily hijacked by white supremacists with very strong and obvious agendas. and some of you guys have reblogged and liked those posts, and then immediately gone on to continue reblogging violently antisemitic things from the very same people. so i don't think it's sinking in tbh

(and like, the posts in question are never anything useful or links to articles or anything remotely "worth" platforming genocide deniers, just the usual "DON'T SCROLL PAST THIS, POSTING IS ACTIVISM" shit)

#if i had a nickel for every kpop blog making weird inflammatory posts about how the most important thing to do is Keep Posting bc donations #and calling reps are wastes of times #i would have many nickels #not even just this last month i mean like just in general it's a very popular position among that crowd #seeing people say ''we're winning'' about something like this is just....sick doesn't begin to describe it #i've lost so much respect for so many people. people i've known for years #who will apparently turn around and retweet fucking hasanabi and even jackson hinkle and other nazis #btwn this and the heard trial debacle last year the mask has been ripped off the online left tbh #and because people are going to call me a zionist for this (since they know they're not allowed to say kike) i'm not fucking talking about #antizionism i'm talking about ''ship the jews back to brooklyn'' ''israelis control the world media'' ''jews expressing concern about risin #antisemitism are personally killing palestinians'' ''the hamas attacks didn't happen/were justified'' invoking the holocaust joking about i #etc etc etc etc #just mask off shit #it's the genocide deniers who have really broken me i had no idea how many of this website's big funnymen think putin is a cool dude #but they care about palestine. allegedly. hm #txt #inb4 people come to me with ''it's so easy to not be an antisemite why can't people do it :('' no actually it's hard #that's why they won't do it. because it's too hard for them.

Noteworthy in this respect is the statement of Rabbi Elijah Gaon on the verse, “But Esau I hated” – “this refers to the peripheral part of Esau, but the essential part of him, his head, was interred with the patriarchs.” It is for this reason that the man of truth and integrity, Jacob, said [on his reunion with Esau], “I have seen you, and it is like seeing the face of G-d.” (Gen. 33:10) His word shall not go down as a vain utterance. The brotherly love of Esau and Jacob, Isaac and Ishmael, will assert itself above all the confusion that the evil brought on by our bodily nature has engendered. It will overcome them and transform them into eternal light and compassion.

-Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook in a letter to Rabbi Pinchas HaKohen Lintup of Birz, 1908

Quoted by Rabbi Jonathan Sacks in Covenant and Conversation, 2008

#judaism #jumblr #rav kook #rabbi jonathan sacks #jews and judaism #religion #I've seen a lot of religious rhetoric used to justify hate recently (both against Jews and Muslims) #and this quote always comforts me #his word shall not go down as a vain utterance!! #Rav Kook believed that ultimately brotherly love between Jews and Christians ('Esau') and Muslims ('Ishmael') would win out #would be stronger than any of our human frailties or conflicts #and I choose to believe that too #even at the times it seems furthest away I choose to believe it all the more

arsenal plays everton--the game starts 15 min after rosh hashana services start today, so as musical leader of the service i will be Extremely Offline... Stress

#hopefully arsenal's premier league winning hopes are written in the book of life #one year as a kid there was a yankees-red sox game during yom kippur evening service #my rabbi was a red sox stan and he had the custodian hold up score updates at the back of the room gjjfhkdgag #that's about to be me #jew stuff #ihc watches arsenal

uhhh, that “pro-genocide” list of celebrities who “support israel” post that is going around is almost exclusively a list of jews in hollywood and falls very much under the trope of “jews will always be more loyal to x, y, or z” and not “jews almost always have a very complicated relationship with i*rael because most of us have family there.”

that is called antisemitic propaganda, friends, and that is exactly how easy it is to fall for that shit.
