The Exodus is a Cultural Memory of Jewish experiences in the Late Bronze Age, in the same way that the Trojan War is a Cultural Memory of events from the same Late Bronze Age period. The years leading up to and during the Late Bronze Age Collapse were a time of massive societal upheaval throughout the known world, and they were recorded by various peoples, including by our Jewish ancestors.
Just because the Exodus didn't happen exactly as it was written in our Torah doesn't mean it didn't happen, because Cultural Memories are never recorded literally. They are mythologized because that is how stories are best preserved and transmitted throughout the millennia.
Was there a "Helen of Sparta" who became a "Helen of Troy"? No, probably not. But were there trade disputes between cities in the Hittite Empire (of which Troy was a member) and the Ancient Mycenaean Greeks? Yes, there were. And also King Priam and Alexander (aka Paris) were real people in the historical record. Did the Trojan Horse actually topple the walls of Troy? No, probably not. But were there massive earthquakes that toppled city walls in Troy? And was the god Poseidon associated with Horses and Earthquakes and the Sea (aka some of the Sea Peoples who attacked the Hittite Empire were Mycenaeans)? Yes.
It's the same with the Exodus. Our Jewish history is encoded within the Exodus using mythologized storytelling, because that is how Cultural Memories are passed down from generation to generation. That is why we still remember the Exodus today.
You realize that there was no exodus right? I say this as a Jew, there’s just no historical or archaeological evidence for it whatsoever, and my family interprets its role in Pesach as metaphorical. If you want I can link you some sources that go into the history that’s probably behind it, but the short version is that the Levites specifically were probably a small group of emigrants from Egypt during the Bronze Age collapse who fled to Judah, and their stories about that were incorporated into local religious practice over time
can you fuck off, a lmao, from a human being with jewish studies credentials. (judah? bitch do you mean JUDEA? lmao. we are not "emigrants from egypt." get the fuck out of here. jews are not egyptians. claiming this is antisemitic and historically, as well as scientifically and archaeologically inaccurate)
you can say jews were egyptians but cant acknowledge palestinian history, where most were actual immigrants from egypt who moved to the mandate to work.
and b. hebrews were enslaved in egypt and in rome. there is archaeological evidence proving this.
ever heard of the merneptah stele? "Israel is laid waste—its seed is no more." hmmmmm wonder what THAT means.
this is an institute run by secular archaeologists in israel. they discuss the evidence of the exodus.
also lmao tell this to my history professor mother, who discusses the cataclysmic events and evidence of all (including in surrounding cultures and egypt itself) that influenced the plague stories. every culture has mythological versions of real events.
hebrews worked in MINES in egypt and there is archaeological proof of this. there is archaeological proof of us building the Colosseum in roman slavery as well.
i really need you to fuck off.
another interesting article on this:
also would you go to muslims and tell them their holidays are based on bullshit with no archaeological evidence? no? then don't fucking message other jews like this.
and your knowledge of jewish history from this message alone is lacking, so i'm not surprised.
merneptah stele:
Tumblr media
go fuck yourself with your "as a jew" bullshit.

Columbia students want to be Hippies so bad, but instead they're just Nazis.
They've rewritten Country Joe and the Fish's classic song from the Vietnam War.
Now it's called the "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Kill-A-Jew Rag":
And it's a 1, 2, 3, what are we marchin' for? Don't ask me, I don't have a clue Let's all go kill a Jew! And it's a 5, 6, 7, open up the College gates Ain't no time to wonder why Whoopie! We want Jews to die!
Columbia University, and the other Ivy League Universities too, is a Hamasnik terror base. They admit it themselves. They shout: "We are Hamas."
The Hippies were trying to stop the Vietnam War and end the Draft in the US that was sending teenagers to their deaths in Vietnam.
Columbia students are trying to get Jews raped, tortured, and slaughtered on a massive scale.
They are not the same.
I will tell you the reason: they are lacking meaning in their lives and it is fulfilled by protests
youtube
Imagine if they used half that energy to help their community: clean the streets, go to city planning meetings, organized a party or literally anything that would improve their and their friends' lives

Oh, it's worse that that. These Hamasniks are sadistic people who actually ENJOY hurting Jews.
For decades, they have been biding their time, waiting for an opportunity to get their claws into us and rip us apart.
They hate us, because they are jealous of us. The only currency they understand is "oppression," and in their twisted minds, they hate that Jews "get to have the Holocaust."
They actually see the Shoah as the ultimate "oppression currency." And they want it. They want it for themselves.
It's disgusting, but that's genuinely how they perceive the greatest tragedy to befall the Jewish people since ... well since the last greatest tragedy. Since the Alhambra Decree. And before that, the Roman destruction of our Second Temple, and the violent squashing of the Bar Kochba Revolt. And before that, the Babylonian Exile. And on and on. Jews have a long historical memory, and we have 3500 years of cultural trauma weighing on our shoulders at all times.
And these depraved Hamasniks are fucking jealous of that, because they want to be the "most oppressed," because again, that's the only currency they recognize. It's how they get their clout on TikTok.
That's why you see so many Gen-Z goyishe queer people trying to claim that they were "more oppressed" in the Holocaust than Jewish people were. They don't care that Jews were the primary target for eradication by the Nazis. They want it all for themselves.
And I wish they just didn't care. I really do. If they didn't care, they would eventually get bored of trying to destroy the Jewish people. They would move on. The fact that they stay fixated on attacking Jews shows that they do care. And they WANT to hurt us.
Because they want to become us. This is just a new form of supersessionism.
It is grotesque. But we have to acknowledge it for what it is.
They are filled with deep, twisted Envy.
And that's why they won't leave us alone.
I think something folks are missing is that a lot of, if not most of, people in the activist sphere are perfectly aware of the antisemitic undertones, messages, and individuals within their movements.
They just don't really care.
Antisemitism is seen by most left-ish goyim as a lesser prejudice, something that's not really an important issue. So when someone they're organizing with harasses, assaults or vandalizes random Jews, Jewish-owned businesses, JCCs, or shuln, they're perfectly happy to brush it off. It's a minor blemish on what they feel is a noble and righteous movement, not a big deal overall. You can point out the ways in which they are harming Jewish people and communities by spreading antisemitic talking points and obvious lies all you want, but they're still just going to reply with a non sequitur about Palestine.
The students at Columbia are perfectly aware of the naked hatred of Jews on display in the off-campus solidarity demonstration outside the gates. They are aware they are creating an environment in which the majority of Jewish students do not feel safe or comfortable being on campus.
They simply do not care.

it's just wild to me that most people didn't learn that the entire middle east wasn't always arab. that egyptians, turks, persian iranians, moroccans, etc are not fully ethnically arab and were colonized and mixed. that their original indigenous languages were not arabic.
(i mean also that jews are from judea but you know)
it's so depressing that this ignorance is so deeply prevalent.

the only arab and european jews existing are converts.
i will fucking fight you.
jews are JUDEAN.
mizrahim are not arab.
ashkenazim are not european.
mizrahim, sephardim, and ashkenazim are all JUDEAN.
kaifeng jews are judean.
bukharan jews are judean.
beta israel jews are judean.
even if you are mixed...all other groups on this planet are allowed to be mixed but us. being mixed does not make us any less indigenous.
groups like beta israel jews are unique. they are mixed and also have some ANCIENT conversion roots. regardless, they are jews.
kaifeng jews have existed in china since the 900s. after 2 generations in a new place, a human being's physical traits will being to adapt to the environment for the purpose of survival. so??? between that and maybe a bit of mixing, of course kaifeng jews don't look like modern ashkenazim. and of course SOME modern ashkenazim don't look like mizrahim. (some do btw, you just don't know shit)
once again: any other group is allowed to be mixed but us.
you know why many of us are mixed btw? RAPE. SYSTEMIC RAPE. if you weren't raped by oppressors, you had to intermarry to get a single basic right. without antisemitism, many of us would likely not be so mixed.
this is also one of the reasons why we are matrilineal.
being displaced against our will doesn't make us any less indigenous.
our displacement occurring 2,700 years ago and continuing for that 2,700 years doesn't make us any less indigenous.
having a small population still living on our ancestral land does not mean we're all somehow no longer indigenous.
our eye color doesn't make us any less indigenous. neither does our hair color.
neither does...gasp...our skin color.
it's amazing that just 80 years ago, our enemies were trying to send us back to judea and israel, and now...they're trying to strip us from our land with petty excuses.
no matter what you tell yourself, israel and judea were never arab land. they were ours. we were never arab either.

Exactly, Anon. Exactly. This is why the Ivy League Universities being turned into Hamasnik terrorist bases is so horrifying. Especially with Jew-hating students attacking Jewish students and professors on campus, with the Universities' sanction. The Universities could shut these Jew-hate riots down. The fact that they don't shows that they want them to continue. They're trying to chase away the Jewish students and professors from these schools. That's always the first step. That's what the Nazis did first, too.
This article is taken from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum website. I highly recommend that everyone read the whole article. But even if you read the first paragraph, you'll see the parallels to what is happening on Ivy League campuses today:
.
After Adolf Hitler was appointed German Chancellor in January 1933, the new Nazi government began an effort to completely reorder public and private life in Germany. 
The Nazi regime quickly targeted German universities—among the most elite in the world at the time—for restructuring according to Nazi principles. While the Nazi Ministry of Education initiated reforms, local Nazi organizations and student activists worked to bring Nazi ideals to German campuses. These forces, along with increasing antisemitism under Nazi rule, transformed everyday life at German universities. Throughout this period, students, faculty, and staff made individual decisions that both upheld and opposed Nazi ideology.
With the passage of the "Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service" in 1933, most Jewish professors in Germany were dismissed from their positions. Others, such as Professor Eugen Mittwoch, were able to keep their posts temporarily only due to the political value of their research. After purging Jewish and "politically undesirable" faculty, the regime then targeted the student body with the "Law Against Overcrowding in Schools and Universities." As German authorities continued to "Aryanize" German universities, Jews increasingly lost the opportunity to teach or study. Many non-Jewish Germans sought to benefit from their persecution. 
The daily business of university life continued in the wake of these new policies, but political concerns increasingly influenced the way professors and students worked and studied. The practice of denunciation, as demonstrated by the "Request for the Investigation of Professor Hans Peters," illustrates the danger posed to both students and faculty if they failed to follow new ideological norms. Those willing to voice support for the new regime—whether out of enthusiasm or practicality—often received promotions or other rewards. Meanwhile, many others quietly accepted the new policies and passively benefited from the persecution of their Jewish peers. Very few, such as the small student group in Munich known as the White Rose, took any significant action to resist the Nazi dictatorship.
The Nazi government and its supporters manipulated several aspects of the country's traditional university system to turn German higher education into a crucial source of support for the new regime. For example, the German student population had been largely male long before the Nazi rise to power, and German campuses were dominated by fraternities.  Those organizations maintained traditional military discipline and dress codes, and their alumni groups exercised significant political power both before and after 1933. Fraternities—often working with the Student Council and Nazi Student League—served  as a powerful and violent force for implementing Nazi principles at universities, often going beyond the party platform in their radicalism. A Report on the Camaraderie House for Female Students of Göttingen shows how Nazi student groups used the format of traditional student organizations to train both men and women to become the next generation of Nazi leaders.
Although the regime could rely on many committed student activists, the Third Reich also sought the support of German professors to lend legitimacy to their policies. Because German universities were state institutions, professors' academic careers became vulnerable to the whims and wishes of the Nazi state. While only a small minority of professors had been Nazi Party members before 1933, several prominent professors quickly voiced their support for the Third Reich. In the new German university, political loyalty was valued over academic ability in the assessment of students and in the selection and promotion of professors. Authorities infused university classrooms with Nazi ideology—as shown in the document, "Foundation of the Advanced School of the German Reich". But prioritizing politics over academics affected the quality of German higher education. 
Nevertheless, professors—even enthusiastic supporters of the new regime—often spoke out against some aspects of Nazi policy. The case of Eduard Kohlrausch shows how his opposition to  student-led book burnings caused his removal from the university administration. Dissent against individual policies, however, did not give rise to any concerted resistance movements. German universities as a whole formed a solid base of support for the Nazi regime, contributing valuable knowledge to the development of technology for the war effort as well as logistical support for the Holocaust.
The Nazification of universities overwhelmed the daily lives of students with new requirements, including mandatory lectures, physical exercises, labor duties, and political assemblies. Many students resented those requirements, even if they supported the Nazi Party. In Heidelberg, for example, where the daily life of students was dominated by political instruction and mandatory physical training, large numbers of students withdrew from the university in search of other educational opportunities. As illustrated in the "Memo Regarding Maria-Elisabeth Koch," students also showed varying degrees of enthusiasm for the labor service that was often required of them in territories occupied by Nazi Germany.
The Nazi government's project of remaking German universities was broadly successful, but it produced unintended consequences. The quality of education suffered significantly as classes were regularly cancelled for political assemblies and students' schedules became filled with ideological and paramilitary training. Moreover, purging Jewish faculty deprived German universities of valuable expertise. Within a few years, many observers in Germany and abroad became deeply skeptical about the quality of German higher education in the Third Reich. Propaganda efforts such as the Carl Schurz tour for American professors and students—documented with a slickly produced video—did not prevent protest. The 550th-anniversary celebration of Heidelberg University met with opposition in Europe, even while prominent American universities such as Harvard accepted invitations.
With the defeat of the Third Reich in 1945, Allied forces occupying Germany began a long-term effort to remove the influence of Nazi ideology in German society. Many German academics who made significant contributions to the Nazi war effort fled to the United States, where they lived comfortable lives and their expertise was highly valued by American universities and the US military. In postwar Germany, many faculty and students who had benefited from the Nazis' discriminatory policies without being especially vocal or enthusiastic supporters of the regime sought to cast their dissent or their silence as forms of political resistance to obscure their own complicity. Although many Germans denied having supported the Nazi regime, antisemitism persisted in postwar Germany. The case of Hermann Budzislawski shows the difficulties encountered by the relatively few German Jews who decided to return to Germany after World War II.
Sources in this collection document the choices facing students and faculty pursuing their everyday lives in the shadow of Nazism and the Holocaust. Over the course of this period, as antisemitic discrimination escalated to mass murder, the higher education system proved to be a source of support—rather than opposition—to the party's project of remaking German society.
