Something I think is really horrible about antisemitism is that left wing antisemites try to gaslight us into not wanting to take action against those who wish us harm. "All being punished will do is make them think Jews really are in control 😔" shit. I hate it

More and more every day, Jews for Jesus in Palestine reads like some masochistic raceplay fetish and I increasingly want to tell them that I do not consent to seeing it.

This is so fucking hilarious.

How do you make Pesach about other groups?

Where were the Palestinian Arabs during the Jewish-Roman wars and which side did they fight for?

They did not exist. There was no Palestinian identity for anyone during that time period. Most Arabs were still in the peninsula and had not reached the Levant in large numbers, and they were divided tribally, without a shared language or religion. The Roman Empire colonized ancient Syria and Egypt when they weren't majority Arab, and had only a limited presence on the peninsula.

To add to the "You Jews owe us more leftism!" context...

I've been the First Jew Ever Met for people in major cities often enough that I am certain most Tumblr bloggers have never met one. Their exposure to Jews is what they hear from other Christians or barely ex-Christians, or what they see in 70,000+ note posts reblogged around here that are geared towards re-envisioning Judaism in the most adorable and unchallenging way possible for online lefty anime fanfic kids.

They are familiar with the Judaism of posts about "If werewolves were Jewish, would eating people be kosher?". They love the Judaism of "Did you know Judaism believes in six genders?". They love Anne Frank. As long as Judaism is exactly like themselves plus maybe some fun word games, they love it.

They have less real-life experience with "Can this party serve anything other than cheeseburgers?" or "Can the anti-racism march be moved off Yom Kippur?". Less experience with Judaism being strict, being demanding, being DIFFERENT IN DAY-TO-DAY LIFE. If a Jew becomes more than an atheist using exotic foreign words to pray for free college, they lose interest - and tolerance - very quickly.

can't stop thinking about "Judaism was supposed to be the leftist religion"

"the reason muslims are allowed to have 55 countries is because people in those countries were always muslim."

OH REALLY. so Kosovo, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan were all originally muslim? THEY ARE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES.

Bangladesh, Indonesia, the converted billions in Malaysia, SIngapore, Thailand, etc were originally muslim? THESE ARE ASIAN COUNTRIES.

Somalia, Sudan, Sierra Leone, Mauritania, Mayotte, Libya, Senegal, etc were muslim nations originally, back thousands of years? THESE COUNTRIES ARE IN AFRICA, NOT ARABIA.

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU THINK ISLAM GOT TO THE REST OF THE WORLD??? OSMOSIS?

IT'S CALLED COLONIALISM AND CONQUEST. THESE PEOPLES ARE MUSLIM NOW ARE MUSLIM BECAUSE. OF. CONQUEST.

This is why Turkey, Iran, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, PALESTINE, etc have any Arab or muslim populations. CONQUEST. The native peoples in all of these places were not originally muslim or Arab at all.

Pull your head out of your ass and stop pushign revisionist history. JIHADIST ISLAMIST (there is a difference between REAL ISLAM and ISLAMIST islam, just like there is a difference between christianity and the westboro baptist church) supporting Muslims are rewriting their history, their Quran, their religion, to push an abusive Jew hating message. They are painting muslims as victims in a history where they were always perpetrators. THEY are colonizers, just like european christians.

Pushing this worldview, these lies, is about as ignorant as arguing that the world is flat.

It is not "woke." It isn't liberal. It's pushing a fascist ideology that paints an oppressed group, Jews, as oppressors. The nazis did the exact same thing.

PLEASE learn real, actual history, supported by archaeology and primary sources.

Judea and Israel were originally and always Jewish land. It came under muslim rule due to CONQUEST. They took the name the ROMANS, one of the worst oppressors of Jews, gave to the area.

We should all be humbled by the patience of Iranian women who have to endure seeing a ‘queer ace transfemme communist’ from New Orleans shill for the regime that systematically oppresses, tortures, and murders them. Woman, Life, Freedom. Today, tomorrow, always.

This is the cultured educated professionals' spoken-in-polite-company support for corrective rape.

It's also more Christian supercessionism and cultural chauvinism - the very concept that suffering and trauma make you a good person, that third party observers are owed moral lessons from trauma survivors, that it all has a Greater Meaning. You can smell the reek of Jesus' armpits and buttcrack all over it. It pairs well with the assertion that Israel has an "Original Sin" that still taints it to this day (in a way that Christians' multiple global genocides, or, like, Australia's anything, do not).

The Pilgrims fled persecution in England and founded a slave state. The descendants of some of those slaves founded Liberia, an intensely unequal and corrupt caste society. Black Africans suffered for generations under Rhodesian apartheid, then turned that country into Zimbabwe which in some ways was even worse. China suffered prolonged occupation and genocide by Japan, then as soon as they got their act together they mass murdered even more of their own people.

Those examples don't come to mind as quickly, because they didn't happen in neighborhoods the Christians learned about in the Bible, the neighborhoods blessed by the odor of Jesus' armpits and buttcrack. The special holy neighborhood where everything that happens Means Something, where a cat can't piss in an alley without it meaning something to a Christian.

No one in the world is OWED a certain standard of performative moral school-play speechery from Israel. Their disappointment is the cheated squeak of a child who found out way too late that Mommy and Daddy are lying about Santa and concluded that they must be bad parents.

Asking pro-Pals what happens to the Jews of Israel in their perfect fanfiction from the river to the sea scenario is so emblematic of that "Killing Jews can't be moral" ask you got.

Because they'll bend over backwards to say that there is no issue, there is no danger, and there's no legitimate fear over a Palestine where slay for pay is still going on and Hamas is running around everywhere, with no one to stop them.

If they have to contend with that reality, they have to contend with why specifically this is such an uncomfortable scenario for most people (not most antizionists, but most regular people). Because most of the world saw Europeans living in Africa leave in large numbers post colonization. Some of them left of their own accord, and others were forced out. Certainly the Leftoids we've come to know would've cheered if they'd been around to see it. But even the average person didn't really know about it or really see it as some great tragedy.

But if the average person saw Jews being driven to the sea, many of them being killed, and a massive refugee crisis ensued, it would be... reminiscent let's just say. It would be a very different situation from Portuguese people leaving Mozambique, and they would feel it on a visceral level. And the antizionist from the river to the sea types must be aware on some level that this is the case. And that annoys them, because (in their minds) they have to walk on eggshells about it, it's bad optics (for now) to openly call for this and celebrate it. They wish that weren't the case.

So they'll never stop and ask, but why does most of the world get so uncomfortable thinking about Jews being driven out of a country en masse, why does most of the world get so uncomfortable thinking about Jews being massacred on a large scale? What could the historical context be? Hmm, let's really put our heads together and think.

Like this in of itself is not a proof that Jews are not colonizers, and they'll cite "propaganda" or even "Zionist control" for why regular people feel this way. But something has to be said that the notion of "decolonizing" Palestine and the outcome being Jews have the same fate as, say, the Boers, makes most people uncomfortable! That context is there beneath the surface. Most people are aware that cleansing the land of Jews is not justice. It wouldn't feel like justice.

Most people can tell that Jews are intrinsically not the same as the standard European colonizer. The Hamasniks are mad as hell they can't gaslight the majority of us, Jew and non Jew alike, into going against our instincts on this one.

as an autistic jew, passover is objectively the best holiday because it’s a dinner party with a script that everyone has to follow

So like Am Yisrael Chai and all that, don't get me wrong I'm so grateful for the superhuman resilience of Israelis (and really the whole Jewish people) because it's necessary

I think one of the ways we (leftists) got ourselves in this dipshit, antisemitic, cult-like political climate is by jerking off so much about being radical.

Let this radicalize you! Let this radicalize you. What radicalized me was. How can they not expect us to be radicalized by this? Let this radicalize you. Let this radicalize you.

As if it's some fucking virtue! As if there's inherent value in simply being radical. Being extreme in your response to conditions is not inherently valuable. What is your response to the conditions? That's where the value lives. It's not in how far you are away from the status quo its literally just how good, how feasible, how pragmatic, how compassionate your ideas are.

I think what we're seeing now with the anti-Israel + new antisemitic movement among the left is (among many other things) the culmination of this very exaltation of radicalism. None of these folks had good, feasible, pragmatic, or compassionate ideas. They really were just motivated by wanting something to be VERY DIFFERENT from how things are now. And that's honestly fucking meaningless. It's never something we should've put stock in.

Don't let anything radicalize you as its primary value. Don't ever let your distance from the status quo be your whole ideology. You need to actually have values and principles and morals and things that are close to your heart. You need to HAVE a heart. You can't just be a political husk filled with anger who gets off on stirring controversy.

We should never have let it get this bad.

yeah, about that....

I usually love Passover, but I have to admit it is hard to look forward to it as much as usual when I remember that less than one year ago Israel lost its most moderate government in a generation and its most diverse government ever and got taken over by criminals, bigots, and terrorist sympathizers who are utterly fucking ruining everything - all because one member of Bennett’s coalition quit in protest over visitors to public hospitals being allowed to eat bread.

Jewish artifacts found at an excavation site in Tayma, Saudi Arabia. Tayma was a Jewish oasis during the pre-Islamic era. It was the hometown of Jewish poet Shmuel Ben Adiya, famous for his unconditional loyalty towards Prince Imru al Qais in the 6th century.

Tayma, along with Khaybar were the two most important oasis in the Hejaz region (modern Saudi Arabia) that used to have a strong jewish presence until the fall of Khaybar in 628 (4388 - 4389 in the hebrew calendar) when the first muslims conquered the fortress and expelled most of the jewish population.

If you ever suspect Christian antisemitism, you are right. This person LOVES it when Palestinians die and can be invoked as charges against Jews.

Similarly, all suggestions that Jewish observance or I/P are "climate issues" are always bad-faith lies.

hi! fellow pro-palestine person here! you said some pretty antisemitic shit when you implied judaism encourages being "sneaky and deceitful." supporting a permanent ceasefire is not what makes you antisemitic pal

I NEVER said “Judaism encourages being sneaky and deceitful”. You KNOW this because you appropriately only quoted half that sentence and used the word “implied”.

I was answering someone who had asked why Christians were so triggered by things like the eruv and Shabbat lamp. There are VERY good reasons to be critical of those practices just like there are good reasons to be critical of certain aspects of ANY religion. And yes, those practices ARE sneaky and deceitful, at least in the minds of other believers, which is what I made very clear in my response.

Perhaps you’re one of the millions of people who has bought into the false notion that to criticism any aspect of Judaism in any way is off limits or inherently hateful. I used to be one of those people, but no longer. People/societies/religions become out of control and extremely dangerous when they’re above criticism.

The brutal genocide Israel is getting away with in Gaza while calling everyone antisemitic who rightly criticizes them is a direct result of the same thinking that you’ve internalized.

When you are questioning if something’s antisemitic, ask yourself if you’d be equally as offended and worried if this was something someone said about Christianity or Islam. 99/100 you’ll find that your discomfort stems from society training us to feel more than comfortable, even righteous, in criticizing other religions, but to interpret any criticism of Jews or Judaism as hateful and completely unacceptable.
