For the last six months, my overwhelming feeling has been: we should know better.

For centuries, the Jewish people didn’t have a nation-state--we had a diaspora. And a big part of Jewish identity and culture is born of that diffuse geographic situation: we didn’t have nationalism to hold us together, so we held together through spirituality, history, tradition, language. Now we have a nation-state, and guess what? Turns out we can be just as xenophobic, territorial, and violent as the nation-states that persecuted us throughout our history.

We celebrate hanging Haman on the very gallows he set up for Mordechai. We symbolically mourn the death of the Pharaoh’s first-born, but we acknowledge it as the final blow that facilitated our liberation. We are the children of the Maccabees. This isn’t to say that these are examples to emulate, only that our mythology and history are full of resistance in the face of tyranny, persistence in the face of persecution. If all we have learned from the legacy of antisemitism is self-preservation, then we have missed the more universal lesson: do not persecute people because their identity differs from yours, and do not underestimate the underdog.

When is Israel going to look in a mirror, and recognize our old oppressors in its own face?

We (I’m speaking not personally, but historically) have experienced oppression, ghettoization, dehumanization, and state-sponsored violence. We carry that generational trauma. We should know better.

To deny a people liberty, systematically impoverish them, and keep them under siege for years and decades; to demand that a million civilians evacuate their homes overnight, but prevent them from traveling safely and restrict them so severely that they have nowhere safe to go; to bomb a dense population center, while cutting off access to food, water, medical supplies, and electricity; to send in air strikes as hospitals run out of power—how could you look at such cruelty, and imagine it to be anything other than an attempt to destroy a people, body and spirit?

And Jews know the legacy of persecution with the goal of annihilation. We know the sorrow, the horror, the resilience.

This Passover, I’m giving to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. Because what Israel is doing is wrong. Because what the US is aiding and abetting is wrong. Because on this holiday celebrating liberation, I’m watching a government commit genocide while claiming to represent my people.

Because my people should know better.

Risteard's Winter Revelry Fit

As if I needed to further show the opposite of him and Mhoirbheinn. But he does prefer...well, some color but white is common for him. But he is rather simple with color scheme but does tend to have this dash of a color that is stark against the rest of the outfit. Such as the black against his mainly white or a metallic that contrasts against his clothes.

#{The Winter Revelry} #I swear his fit doesn't help #the whole 'scheming noble' look #but you know #the man likes what he likes #and to be fair #his colleagues are just as much schemers as he is #if not more so #he feels like the forever exhausted teacher or maid #that just wants the room clean for 10 minutes

The older I get the more I admire people who are earnestly, genuinely into whatever their thing is. I know it sounds like an annoying cliche but unless you're being cruel or hurtful there is really no need to be normal about things. The dude with the bad fake accent at the renaissance faire is having the time of his life. The people having photoshoots with their fashion dolls are loving it. The old lady with a yard unreasonably full of tacky ass lawn ornaments is having a blast, HOA be damned.

Don't waste your time being too cool to have fun, y'know?

#it's hard sometimes not to be embarrassed when people tell you you should be and im still working on it #but life is so much more fun that way

yknow AI art has ruined an entire genre of painting to me, i saw one of those smooth anime-realism pieces and immidiately thought ''ugh, AI art'' until i noticed it was posted by an established deviantart user 6 years ago. like ive never been a huge fan of that genre but it looks like a pretty difficult style to master and i feel bad for the artists who specialized in anime-realism only to have their entire market jacked by people typing keywords into midjourney.

#like. yall know the exact kind of smooth shaded anime realism i mean right. #its SO prevelant in ai art to the point that i end up always end up assuming that style is ai more often than not

Knowledge Revenge.

#dungeon meshi #chilchuk tims #senshi #Somewhat of an unofficial sequel to the Dragon Comic. I promise I have more versatility in my jokes. I just had to take this opportunity. #Senshi is pretty much a recluse. I think he would know a few of these 'gottems' but not all. #Chilchuck would know gottems that are nearly lost to time. The deep cuts. The ones that you fall for because they are that obscure. #I would also like to take a moment to confess that after the last comic in which I posed a gottem - #I fell victim to a Mind Goblin Attack. I was thoroughly got. I will be on higher alert this time. #So NOBODY be funny in the tags. I am gullible and I like to share things with my friends. Who are *ruthless*. #I have a mild resistance to Vicious Mockery at this point but I can only take so much. #Happy Thistle Thursday Everyone! See you next week!

the men and boys are innocent too.

we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.

I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.

I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.

I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.

I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.

the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.

#I don't have words to describe how I feel for the men of Palestine #the things I have seen them do after everything they have been through goes so far beyond selfless #what do you call this? this prevailing goodness and willingness to give everything they have and more? what word even touches it? #I don't think there is one #islamophobia has conditioned us to see these men and boys as evil and dangerous #we see this in how we speak about Palestine #and we need to uncondition ourselves #they're just as innocent and of value and good as the women and children #so fight for them #they don't deserve this any more than the women and children #free palestine #palestine
