People declaring the Pope should excommunicate Joe Biden for genocide has me like??? Bro...what do you think the Catholic Church was built on...

#Pope Francis did call for a ceasefire and actually used the word ''cease'' even if he used waffly both-sides language #he's also been pretty progressive about recognizing and apologizing for the church's role #in the Canadian First Nation's and Rwandan genocides #but that's still bare minimum #and there was that whole deal with the Catholic Church helping save Jews in the Holocaust #but trying to help the people you helped victimize in the first place shouldn't be counted IMO #certainly doesn't erase centuries of Jewish persecution #xtianty #colonialism #Spanish colonialism #Portuguese colonialism #genocide #genocide Joe #free palestine #knee of huss

i think it's kind of offensive to try to make holocaust denial about trans people but idk

#when you say holocaust denial people think antisemitic conspiracy theory #so it just seems... hm.... disingenuous to use that specific phrase? #i do think jkr's tweet was kind of unclear #but it was not ''the holocaust is a jewish conspiracy it was all faked they control everything'' #contesting the idea that trans people should be centered in holocaust discussions is not the same thing at all #that wording just grosses me out bc it feels intentional. they know what holocaust denial actually is and they know they can piggyback #off of the enduring suffering of people who were the primary targets of the holocaust #and they know no one is gonna bother to even read what jkr's little tweet said in the first place #isn't it obvious they just want to be able to call themselves holocaust victims

or maybe it’s that sexual violence is an especially traumatic, indefensible, & violating form of violence that goyim keep subjecting Jews to, and the fact that Hamas did rape other victims in the massacre makes it a very reasonable fear for a hostage who is completely powerless to have—which runs counter to the bogus narrative that Hamas is engaging in justifiable violent “resistance”

but sure, accuse Jews of KKK propaganda

#antisemitism #antisemitic misogyny #tw ​rape #tw october 7th #basically holocaust inversion but with the KKK instead of Nazis #and don’t get me wrong I 100% disagree with Mia’s conclusions about Gazans based on her experience & not defending THAT #but you can criticize that w/o ​invalidating the trauma of the violence & threats of that a hostage—a victim of a war crime—experienced

im not reblogging the original post this is from directly because it's principally about how Germany gets mad at immigrants for identifying with the victims instead of the perpetrators when learning about the Holocaust, which is a good thing to discuss, but this specific example they opened the article with is pretty funny because like. Turkish immigrants. from Turkey. wondering how a society got fanatical enough to genocide an entire race. from Turkey. hmm, i dunno, let's ask literally fucking Hitler in 1939:

Turkish people don't get to play dumb about the concept of genocide. it's that thing your government keeps specifically denying they did to my ancestors

#because nobody on this site can read: im not laughing at immigrants for identifying with the victims of the Holocaust #i am calling Turkish people ignorant for acting incredulous about a society hating another race enough to genocide them #if anyone tries to say maybe they didn't learn about it in school i am blocking them #the classic “americans don't learn about geography in school uwu” excuse but about a genocide

If the Jews had been the ones to defeat the Nazis in WWII, the Holocaust would be known as the Zionist Genocide of Europe.

#antisemitism #jumblr #wwii #holocaust #israel #revisionist history #antisemitic double standards #they only love Jews when we’re victims #and many times not even then #you are not immune to propaganda #if you hate Jews for fighting our killers now #you would have hated us if we were too successful in fighting our killers then too

[fairuzfan]

Sometimes I think about the "i would be concerned if you dont vote mussolini in a Hitler v Mussolini election" post and I'm just astounded all over again that people would say this out loud and think they're smart for it. What in the world do you mean you'd vote for mussolini???? That's a better alternative to not voting????? Really??????????

#so shocking to me #romani victims arent even officially acknowledged when talking about the harm that mussolini did #in participating in the holocaust #not to mention libya! #the founder of facism is someone you would vote for????

[proudfreakmetarusonniku]

#how do you continue on with your online presence after george takei just completely demolishes you bc you denied victims of the holocaust #like. I’d kms tbh

International Holocaust Remembrance Day commemorates the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp by the Red Army in 1945. Today we remember millions of victims of the Nazi regime, including those that have often been missing when talking about the victims.

Gay men, lesbians and trans people were sent into concentration camps, marked by the pink or black triangles, tortured, kept in inhumane conditions, worked to death and exterminated, along with jewish people, romani, disabled people, socialists, communists, Slavs, and others.

On these slides we will quickly cover queer prosecution by Nazis, as well ways in which for them the discrimination didn't end with the Holocaust.

There's this intense rage that boils in me whenever I see a Israel supporter or 'anti genocide but pro-jewish state' person talk about safety post-holocaust.

It always reminds me that despite our soldiarity, our shared traumatic history, most are still never going to understand the reality of colorism.

"Yes what Israel is doing is bad but jewish people deserve their own state/Israel because white countries aren't safe! What about our safety!"

People care about your state because you're a tool. Because you're, as multiple israeli officials have put it throughout the decades, "civilization surrounded by beasts' and 'a beacon of the west in the jungle'.

Fucking ignoring the Rroma who are and have been living through your exact nightmare. And people don't care, because we're brown. There's no outrage when people sterilize Rroma, when we are murdered and racially targeted and destroyed all over Europe. And one of the big reasons? Color.

We are living examples of what happens when you can't be used to expand western ideals. When you are left loose post holocaust. And despite all this, I still don't fucking support Israel. My family, my culture, my identity destroyed by the holocaust and the white countries after it. I'm living proof of the terror. And despite it all, I know that I would never be fucking okay with any of this done in my name. I would never be okay with any actions done to this day by Israel. I would never want a fucking ethnostate.

Where are those who were born in Israel supposed to go, you ask? Not my fucking problem. I don't have solutions. But I do know that anyone who supports an ethnostate is not an ally or a friend of mine.

Every headline I see that dehumanizes Palestinian death, it reminds me of my people. Of how we're the ones tossed to the side. Ignored. Forgotten.

I will not accept that happening to others.

#free palestine #anti zionisim #antizionist #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #personal words #we have to beg and plead to be remembered as victims of the fucking holocaust. #Because it's hard to humanize those who aren't light. #i will not let myself or anyone I care for do the same to the Palestinians #i am and will always stand with jewish siblings #but i will not let colorism happen.

First of all, bigotry is NEVER a logical or rational response. A victim of bigotry is never deserving of it.

Second, what is “Jewish behavior”? I’m not clicking that link since it will probably give me a virus, but that’s a huge red flag for victim blaming and all sorts of other nasty stuff.

Finally, we have holocaust inversion and conflation of Jews with Israel. Holocaust inversion weaponizes Jewish trauma. And I don’t know about other folks here, but I’ve certainly never planned on murdering anyone, let alone “exterminating” an entire group of people (and note how they use a Nazi phrase, “extermination”)

[gay-jewish-bucky]

Remember when people would get blacklisted in fandom for shipping Jews with Nazis? I think we need to bring that back.

To clarify I'm not saying these people should be harassed, the best thing to do when you encounter content you don't like is to block and move on.

#listen im not an anti #but like this one thing is my hard fucking line #it's never jews doing it!!! #it's always incredibly philosemitic gentiles who are weirdly obsessed with actual holocaust victims espec anne frank or something like that #jumblr #jewish #judaism #antisemitism #tw antisemitism #fandom antisemitism #antisemitism tw #nazi mention #the marvel fandom is a fucking nightmare my guy

📷 From the documentary film “Forbidden Love – Queer Victims of the Nazi Dictatorship”

Documentary shows three poignant fates of queer Nazi victims

Persecuted, arrested and murdered: The documentary “Forbidden Love – Queer Victims of the Nazi Dictatorship” shows, with celebrity support, what it meant to be a queer person who was an enemy of the Nazi state.

Auto-translate from German [original from Queer.de]:

The documentary will be broadcast on January 27th, the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust.

The approximately 45-minute documentary by Sebastian Scherrer shows how the Nazis increased punishments and terrorized queer people. For this purpose, the fates of the three queer protagonists Elli Smula, Liddy Bacroff and Rudolf Brazda are not only examined, but the voices of historians and well-known faces are also sought. …

The documentary does not force the protagonists into the role of victims

All three take on a “sponsorship” for one of the protagonists in order to shed light on their fate. These include Elli Smula, who was persecuted as a lesbian, and Liddy Bacroff, who was harassed by the authorities as a "transvestite", as well as Rudolf Brazda, who was imprisoned in the Buchenwald concentration camp because of his homosexuality. Over 50,000 queer people were demonstrably persecuted at the time, many of whom were oppressed, imprisoned or murdered. But as cruel as the Nazi era was for LGBTI people, the documentary proves that despite the most adverse circumstances, some managed to live out their identity and assert themselves during the Nazi era. And although the protagonists actually became "victims" of the Nazi regime, they are not presented in the documentary in a "victim role", but as self-confident people who did not want to let the Nazi regime change them.

And although the protagonists actually became "victims" of the Nazi regime, they are not presented in the documentary in a "victim role", but as self-confident people who did not want to let the Nazi regime change them.

Other fates during the Nazi era are also discussed. In addition to the events surrounding Smula, Bacroff and Brazda, other fates from the Nazi era are also highlighted, such as that of SA leader Ernst Röhm. The homosexual officer was murdered on behalf of Adolf Hitler in 1934. But Magnus Hirschfeld, who worked as a sex researcher for the decriminalization of homosexuality, is also remembered. For his efforts, the Nazi regime punished him by storming his institute. The right degree between personal stories and education The documentary manages to find the right degree between the narration of personal fates and the factual education about the Nazi era. In addition to the protagonists, historical documents are shown from which shocking evidence emerges. At that time, sexual acts between men were described as “fornication” and homosexuality as a “popular plague”. The so-called “Pink Angle” publicly stigmatized homosexual men in concentration camps. Czech Holocaust expert Anna Hájková sums it up aptly: "Queer people embodied everything the Nazis hated." And the prominent faces and activists always find the right words, express criticism or ask legitimate questions. Finally, on some of the stumbling blocks, for example, there are deadnames of deceased trans people, which denounces them. Finally, reference is made to the current situation of queer people, because hate is increasing again. That's why the documentary ends with an impressive sentence:

Love should never become a crime again.

I do, in fact, hold the Jewish community collectively responsible for Zionists.

Individually? Of course not. Anti Zionist Jews exist as individuals. Many individuals are shut out of their own religious community, especially those of colour.

But as a community where Zionism is so socially and institutionally entrenched that the minority of dissenters are disowned and ostracized?

The global community of which only a handful of organisations openly advocate for Palestine, and even most of those paternalistic and co-opting Palestnian voices with liberal Zionist sympathies?

The western majority that institutionally benefits from white colonization and imperialism and silences its non-Jewish Black and brown critics?

The same majority that will never own their privilege or culpability or complicity in the colonial project before and after the Holocaust?

That helped the West exceptionalize it to cover up their exponentially larger and more enduring colonial crimes?

That distanced themselves from their white colonial privilege at the expense of BIPOC by insisting theirs was not a religious marginalization but a racial one, and continues to punish us for not treating them as racially oppressed?

Whose very demand to be automatically exonerated from the Palestinian genocide is reflective of their white and Western privilege?

That successfully broke the ties Jews of colour have to their own racial communities through Israeli ethnic cleansing and Zionist propaganda?

That uses JoC as shields, tokens and weapons against all the above charges?

The JoC that have purchased the privileges of Zionism and enfranchised themselves by betraying their own races?

The community that has used the charge of antisemitism to police Black and brown folks for decades, making it a knife against our necks?

I absolutely, 100% blame the global Jewish community.

The Global South will not forget. We will not forgive. All people with white skinned European descent are our oppressors. All people nourished on the teat of the imperial core are the foot soldiers of white supremacy, no matter what their race. We owe you no exoneration.

#this post is brought to you by the fucking bullshit going on at the holocaust museum today #i'm never going to give a shit about that after this. nothing to do with us #how tf do you terrorize black and brown people into recognizing your victimhood and not realize you arent the victim here if you can do tha #i am 1000% done with this colonizer bullshit #no wonder black intellectuals have been calling out white jews for decades #'antisemitism' only matters when it affects white jews lmao. JoC have to deal with it on their own #i trust JoC even less than white Jews after this because holy shit the zionist bootlicking #they aren't gonna fuck you bro #if you arent going to divest from white colonialism please get your asses the fuck out of our spaces #you should be expiring with shame and pain for what your people are doing #instead you're whinging because someone tagged Free Palestine on your wall after a 115 days of butchering babies #fuck you #knee of huss #anti zionist #zionazis #free palestine #racism #anti blackness #white supremacy #colonialism #western imperialism

how are you a holocaust survivor if you're POC?

I'm not a Holocaust survivor I'm 25?

I'm gonna guess you mean descended from Holocaust survivors & victims. In which case it's really sad that you think this way firstly? POC and non Jewish people did in fact die during the holocaust and many were targeted for not fitting the Nazis' idea of the "superior Aryan race".

From The Holocaust Encyclopedia: "When Adolf Hitler and the Nazis came to power in 1933, there were several thousand Black people living in Germany. The Nazi regime discriminated against them because the Nazis viewed Black people as racially inferior. During the Nazi era (1933–1945), the Nazis used racial laws and policies to restrict the economic and social opportunities of Black people in Germany. They also harassed, imprisoned, sterilized, and murdered an unknown number of Black people."

Also contrary to what some believe, and this may sound farfetched and I hope you're sitting down but bear with me- some people are actually more than one race. Some people are POC and white. We call this being biracial. Or in grade school, being an "Oreo". A mutt if they really want to dehumanize you

But while my relatives weren't targeted for their skin color as they were white, many people were. Black Germans and other POC did exist, were murdered and traumatized, and have passed down that generational trauma. Just as other persecuted populations even if it was much less it was no less a part of the genocide and ethnic cleansing.

#i was actually never called an oreo but my siblings were #the fun thing about my racial ambiguity is no one irl knows what racial slur or term to call me #anyway there were Holocaust victims that were POC and it's even more reason to compare these events. #we have to mention the holocaust by name. we have to say hitler's name. i feel if we don't we're forgetting that this has happened before #because millions did not die during the holocaust just for us to justify more ethnic cleansing. more destruction of people's land& history #we have to look at how history was rewritten and how they allowed a genocide and massive cleansing to happen #and given my background i can't wrap my head around seeing everything that i heard of the nazis and even the USSR doing #and just going “but hamas”. israel is the cause hamas is the effect. i will never be happy that innocent people died #but people are wrong to say it was because they're jewish and muslims/palestinians/arabs hate jews. furthers the us vs them #they were already being killed and there's a reason colonized ppl & BIPOC see through the propaganda #the “they kill babies and rape women and hate you for how you were born and want to take things from you!” #we are familiar with it bc this isn't the first time it's happened and we remember the result of that mentality #and how it was weaponized #when i say mention it i do not mean above the current genocide. but we know how serious the holocaust was #the scale the lasting impact the destruction the things that were uncovered so much later #there is no “aftermath” of gaza yet bc the genocide is ongoing but we've seen the aftermath of genocide before #if we ignore the parallel we are forgetting history and there's a saying about those who forget history #free palestine #palestine #gaza #free gaza
