Im getting more and more tired of ppl parroting the word “gEnoCIdE” while we literally have one of the lowest death tolls for a fuckin *WAR*. The fact that ALL you need to do is say a word enough times until ppl straight up just believe it is insane to me… The fact that its becoming the NORMALIZED opinion is horrifying to watch.

The Kony2012ers found a new hobby and everybody disliked that

My Spanish teacher just gave us a mahmoud darwish poem to translate. The war is hardly brought up in my country. So I want to ask you for your opinion of him, since you are the only jewish blog to have mentioned him. From his wiki, it seems he's ok with a two state solution and peace and hated hamas, but he still saw israel as an enemy and a lot of pro palestinians use his poetry to justify their so called resistance which is just antisemitism. Thank you so for your time and may hamas be defeated and the hostages returned!

Thank you for standing with us!

Mahmoud Darwish is worth reading. Even when he says things I disagree with, he opposed terrorism and suicide bombing and at least seemed open to discussing coexistence. More on his overall stances and views here and here.

He was also honest enough to understand the true reason for the world's fixation on Palestine:

"Do you know why we, the Palestinians, are famous? Because you [an Israeli interviewer] are our enemy. Interest in the Palestine question comes by way of interest in the Jewish question. It's you they're interested in, not me. If our war had been with Pakistan, no one would have heard of me. So we are unlucky that our enemy is Israel, which has so many sympathizers in the world, and we are lucky that our enemy is Israel, because Jews are the center of the world. You have given us defeat and renown." --Mahmoud Darwish, 1996

The independent bookstore preparing to open in my corner of the Boston area is sharing fundraisers for the idiot Columbia kids on Instagram. The fiber arts group I'm a member of sharing memes about those dirty zionists. The comic artist I support on Patreon is having a whole lot of fun with Holocaust inversion rhetoric. The roar is getting so loud in every single alt-y, arty, left-ish, intellectual scene. I rely on Jewish community, I seek out other Jews to share these interests. But it's impossible to ignore that these are becoming my only options. It's like we're being excommunicated.....from these communities that we've fucking bled for, for decades.

Yes. The institutions and norms of American progressive and artistic life were founded or led or strongly influenced by Jewish creativity and philanthropy, and we are increasingly being purged from them as Palestine settler-colonizes Every. Single. Issue. The 2015 movie "Selma" showed Martin Luther King Jr. meeting with white Christian religious leaders but erased all Jewish involvement, erased Rabbi Heschel. The arts, the museum world, the comics industry, even Hollywood... we built these movements and industries, and we're suddenly not good enough to be included anymore.

Something I've found quite frustrating is that critics of the IDF's conduct in Gaza seem to be making easy and simple (but wrong) accusations, that then allow Israel/the IDF to respond to those accusations and ignore a real but more complicated problem (or at least distract from it).

The prime example of this is food aid: it seems like every criticism on this front is "Israel is stopping food aid entirely because it is deliberately trying to starve Gazans to death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" And then Israeli/IDF spokespeople can go "no, we actually let a lot of food in, here's a photo of all the pallets of food that have gotten into Gaza that no one has picked up and distributed yet" and then not have to talk about how right now the ACTUAL problem seems to be that food aid can't get where it needs to go WITHIN Gaza, and how that is actually at least partially the fault of the IDF invasion because it damaged or destroyed the literal streets trucks of food aid would take to get to where it needs to, as well as the logistical systems to distribute it, plus the fact that getting the food where it needs to go requires crossing areas that the IDF considers open-fire zones, and that sometimes means that food aid convoys get blown up by the IDF even though the IDF should know they're food aid convoys and not terrorists.

And to be fair the other side of the coin is Hamas and other armed groups stealing food for themselves or to sell on the black market, and the third side of the coin is organizations like UNRWA being incompetent at distributing the aid, and that after prodding by the US and others and several catastrophic failures the IDF/Israel appear to be making a serious effort to fix things, but still, people miss the point to make easy (and wrong) arguments.

This is a good summary of why entering Gaza was an obvious trap, why I could never come out fully in favor of it, and why I can't say with any real confidence that it has made anything better. Once you've destroyed a territory's infrastructure and roads, there are only so many times you can say "but that's not the real problem" when people are (allegedly) starving. With the whole world making accusations and asking loaded questions non-stop, just the sound of repeatedly having to answer them makes them seem unimportant. It's just as Colin Powell warned in 2003 - "you break it, you bought it."

a lot became clear to me when i realized a lot of people approach nearly everything the same way they do sports or fandom or jostling for power in middle school cliques

i’m willing to believe some people are genuinely idiots who don’t know that 90%+ of polish jews were killed in the holocaust (and made up half of all poles killed in wwii), but. it’s almost like this shit helps nothing and no one

do people who say things like ‘taylor swift is the most prominent white supremacist in america’ realize they sound like someone who says ‘these days you can’t tell people that you want to parade their severed head on a spike in the city center. the woke mafia won’t let you’
