this is a total normal thing for ANOTHER COUNTRY'S foreign intelligence agency front to say to American university students who are peacefully demonstrating against the genocide and oppression of Palestinians

It’s driving me up the wall that the same people who demand that Israel be dismantled and call for “death to Israel” because it’s apparently an ethnostate (already a very dubious claim in itself), then turn around and praise/idolize the Islamic fucking Republic of all places!!!!!

Are you genuinely that disconnected from the reality of the situation? How far up your own ass do you have to be to not immediately see the massive hypocrisy?

Did you forget Masha Amini? Was she just a trend to you? Are you willing to throw your lot in with morality police, Russian allies, and fascist extremist governments just because you both hate Jews?

OKAY series of polls about sock preferences because i'm a curious autistic fuck:

a list of don'ts for goyim in regard to jews and jewishness

do not ever ever compare jews or a jewish person to vermin. i don’t care what the context is. it is an incredibly historically loaded thing

do not under any circumstances alter our magen david or call it something dirty or awful. it is a symbol of all jews, and if you call it something like “satanic”, you are hurting all jews

do not insert israel or palestine in conversations about jewishness or jews when it has nothing to do with either subject

do not blame the actions of israel on world jewry

do not think knowing a jew gives you authority on anything. having a jewish SO or friend gives you authority on nothing

do not think that your country does not have an antisemitism problem.

do not think that antisemitism is isolated to one region or one people

do not think that antisemitism today is harmless or dead or a “political tool”

do not ever source nazi/neonazi material for any of your social justice work. i don’t care how “spot on they are for this one issue”, if you do that, you are trash and your social activism is trash too.

do not celebrate our holidays because you think it would be a fun thing to do. would you think it’s fun or interesting to walk into a synagogue surrounded by cops on yom kippur, weak from fasting, knowing that your chances of experiencing violence on this holy day have increased a hundredfold because of your jewishness? 

do not respond to accusations of antisemitism with “i bet you’re a zionist”. 

do not ever speak over a jew on jewish identity. 

do not erase or ignore our suffering

do not call our genocide a white people’s genocide

do not use our genocide against us. genocide is never a lesson for the victim

do not forget the various genocides and suffering of jews outside of europe and the holocaust. 

do not forget that we are as subject to various -isms as gentiles. your social activism is not intersectional if you forget jews. 

do not forget the jewish history of various social movements

do not forget that we are a varied people—jews are never a monolith.

“…….we should not have to tolerate antisemitism or bigotry for all Jewish students, whether they are pro-genocide or anti-genocide.”

- Sitting Congressperson Ilhan Omar

Next time anyone insists “the protests can’t be antisemitic, there are Jews involved,” remember that we have a sitting congressperson putting a target on the backs of all Jewish students who aren’t. A full grown adult member of congress is putting a target on the backs of young people her daughter’s age.

I really shouldn’t have to be explaining why it’s antisemitic to say that any Jew who doesn’t identify themselves as part of one particular group is “pro-genocide.” I really shouldn’t have to explain why it’s so insidious to say “antisemitism is wrong, no matter how genocidal so many Jews are 🥰” She knows exactly what she’s doing. The only question is, do they?

a conversation that probably happened as the jewish people were leaving egypt

person A: oh shit theres no time for my bread to rise we aren't gonna get out of here on time

person B: so just?? dont let it rise. bake it like that.

person A: itll be flat and weird though? do you really think that's a good idea

person B: yeah, it's just a few fucked up loaves of bread. in a couple years no one will even remember it!

i thought JVP couldn't beat the backwards hebrew from yesterday but now they've posted in support of a pro-encampment demonstrations in houthi-controlled yemen, which included signs showing the houthi slogan.

“God is the greatest; death to America; death to Israel; curse the Jews; victory to Islam.

Yes "Jewish" Voice For Peace unironically and positively posted an image which contains the phrase "curse the Jews"

RIP, "The Man of the Hole." We never knew your date of birth or name.

And after what we did to you, we didn't deserve to.

jvp what the fuck is this

Like, I am not commenting on the anti-zionist seder in principle, it's just that

not a single one of those words are written correctly. They're written down in the hagadah. They just had to open a single hagadah to see that all of those are written wrong. These are all written backwards, which is what often happens when you put right-to-left text in a program that can't handle it and flips it over, like photoshop.

Most programs can handle right-to-left text nowadays, so I have no clue how they got this wrong.

was there a single actual jew involved in the writing of this? JVP is notoriously mostly made up of non-jews but like, seriously? Propping open a hagadah to double check? No?

also why does that one circle just say "spoon". do I eat the spoon
