I’m not saying that jews shouldn’t learn Hebrew. I’m referring to a post from the other day that said that American ashkenazi jews are not real Jews because they don’t speak Hebrew

Well you don’t need to know Hebrew to be Jewish but you should know which way it’s written

I’m just flabbergasted like all you would have to do is look at one single Hebrew book to realize this

I can’t get over how the students at Columbia screamed “Go back to Poland” to American Jews. Not even Israelis (though that wouldn’t be okay either). American fucking Jews.

Way to tell me that you don’t want me in your country and think my family and I would be better off dead. You’re such an activist, gleefully screaming for the ethnic cleansing of your country’s own populations.

Get absolutely fucked, you monsters.

The Jewish definition of Zionism is very different than the popular definition of Zionism. For Jews, Zionism has its roots in a 3,000 year old tradition of wishing to return to our homeland. I would argue that while the political Zionist movement is not integral to Judaism, Zionism, by its Jewish definition is. You do not have Judaism without Israel. Jews traditionally call themselves and the land they come from Israel.

To be a Jew and call yourself antizionist, you must necessarily isolate yourself from your community. You believe that your community has been brainwashed en masse by “Zionism.” You stop going to community events because they’re too “Zionist.” You try to create your own way to mark Judaism without Israel but it falls flat and meaningless, breaking from the tradition of thousands of years of ancestors who yearned for Zion and who each slowly helped create Judaism as we know it today. You either have to be in denial about harm to your community or you have to accept it on some level. You have to be okay with throwing the majority of your own people under the bus, and definitely at least all Israelis. You have to deal with people who tell you your own history with half truths, who know nothing about your culture and have no respect for it.

I called myself antizionist for several years as a teenager, and this coincided with a complete removal from my community and a stark stop to my education about Jewish history and peoplehood. When I re-engaged, the more I learned about Judaism and Jewish history the more “Zionist” (in the Jewish sense not the popular political sense) I became. Within a few months of actually dealing with antizionist activists, I stopped calling myself an antizionist, because I realized very quickly that I was being tokenized and that for all the people around me claimed to know, they were deeply ignorant about anything to do with my culture and people. When I left my on campus group they replaced me with another token Jew almost immediately. When he fucked off they found another one, whom they weaponized against my campus Jewish community to try and evict our Jewish student centre.

So don’t you dare talk to me about the Jews in the encampment protests. Just don’t.

We’ve been hearing report after report of antisemitism at encampment protests, video after video, photo after photo, documenting people being physically assaulted, threatened, having antisemitic vitriol yelled at them.

And then people have the audacity to say that we’re accusing people of antisemitism for “criticizing israel.” What an absolute barrel of horse shit

At its height I think Poland had over 3 million Jews? 90% were murdered. Most Polish Jews are descended from the small fraction that survived. In Israel, Jews of Polish descent are actually a minority (less than 1.5 million out of 7 million+ Israeli Jews). In the Americas there are more of us because there are more Jews of Ashkenazi descent, but unfortunately, we are all lumped together so it is hard to say how many Jews of Polish descent there are.

Another important factor to mention for Polish Jews is that for many, the cut off they experienced from Polish society was a relatively long time ago. 4+ generations, usually, because they fled during, before, or immediately after the Holocaust. The fact that my grandparents grew up in Poland speaking Polish is rare. It also eased my family's reclamation of Polish citizenship because we had more recent documents to prove, and my grandmother could easily communicate with the government officials.

However, even with the relative closeness, and even though I have a Polish passport, when I travel to Poland I am by all means, a foreigner. I do not speak Polish. I do not have any Polish culture. My Polish-Jewish culture has been vastly erased from Polish society. There is no space for me or my family there.

Because get this: we are not indigenous to Poland. I think my mom has trace amounts of DNA from like, Medieval Krakow (2.6%). Saying that we're Poles would be like saying someone who's 2.6% African is Black.

Poles are actually very much their own people with their own distinct and very interesting history, culture, and language that is connected to the sizable Jewish minority that lived there for centuries, but not the same thing.

most people interpreted the "go back to poland" as being directed at israeli jews, which it often is, but i think it is important to mention that it was yelled at a Jewish student in America. They don't want us to be anywhere except for the place where the death camps were. Funny that.

Every Jew I know, and a lot of Jews I don't know, have repeatedly said that JVP represents Jews about as much as Autism Speaks represents autistic people, so you'd think there wouldn't be as many gentiles saying "look, this demonstration where people chanted explicitly Jew-hating slogans can't possibly be antisemitic! JVP was there!" and yet

You can use whatever terminology you want but when I stand in the land of Israel my ancestors artefacts are beneath my feet you know what I’m saying
