#I’m not your good jew

[pettytiredandjewish]

Not once have I ever seen you disprove any meaningful claim someone has brought up against you 💀💀💀

Y’all you must be high or something. I like how every time I defend Israeli citizens (because they are not their f-ing government- they are also victims of this war. Not just Palestinians. They are also victims too, just not the only ones) or call out any antisemitism that I see via anonymous ask ( I get a lot- some I even delete) I get hate messages.

It’s kinda funny that anons love to troll through jewish blogs and send them hate. Especially ones that defend Israel/ or both Israel and Palestine/ or just antisemitism. Funny I was gonna make a post about this since it’s something that I’ve noticed while scrolling through tumblr. If someone defends Israel (or even just the citizens-cuz remember folks they aren’t their government), of defends both Palestine and Israel- pro Palestine people, some anti Zionist people and full raging nazies (aka the fools cuz that’s what y’all are. Fools.) really loves to send hateful comments and messages to those blogs.

It’s really messed up when these fools also comments and messages blogs who’s post have nothing to do with I/P conflict. A Jew could just be sharing something good that is happening in their life or something and they automatically get attacked by fools. And don’t get me started on the pro Palestine protests. Y’all think it’s really ok to swarm around synagogues, hospitals, campus buildings and spew hate to those who literally have nothing to do with the i/p conflict. Congratulations fools you have now reached a level of stupidity that i have never seen before- and I’ve seen a lot of stupidity before.

Y’all must be bored or have so much time on your hands. So let me explain this to you all (again) on your level so that you and others hopefully understand. Hope y’all have your listening ears on and ready. And remember boys/girls/and non binary folks think before you speak. If you have any questions or comments-write them down and make sure that it isn’t something stupid. And yes I’m treating all of y’all fools like little kids (only little kids are more behaved then y’all, which is sad and funny). Let’s begin!

-Israel is not an apartheid state (Israel and Palestine have their own forms of government and own set of rules. Palestine has been under hamas control since the early 2000s. Hamas is the reason why Palestine citizens are living and dealing with shity situations. Also during this war, Israel has been giving Palestine citizens a heads up/warning on when they go on the attack and that they need to either evacuate the area or get to a safe area. One of the many reasons why so many have sadly lost their lives is because Hamas. Hamas have been telling their citizens to ignore the warnings, or directs them to “safety areas” that are under attack. Hamas doesn’t care about Palestine or their citizens. Nor do they care for Israel or Jews. I’ll touch on this more in a bit.) nor are they colonizers (you can’t be a colonizer if you have ties/connections/history to the land. Which they did before getting forcibly kicked out.) Remember the British had control of that region after the Ottoman Empire. There was no Palestine official state. That whole area was considered a British mandated state until the state of Israel and Palestine was formed. Also take note that any formation of a state or country is gonna be really messy and controversial. It’s part of history.

-did you know that Israel is the only jewish nation. Out of all the bloody countries- only one is a Jewish nation. A lot of Jews left their home countries for Israel because they were not wanted by their home country. It was either stay and be killed or leave to start a new life in a country that will open their arms for their jewish siblings. Europe kicked out a lot of their jewish citizens. A lot of Middle Eastern countries did the same too. A lot of lives were lost during this horrible time period. Those who didn’t go to Israel went to the United States hoping that they would be accepted with open arms. That did not happen. A lot of jewish families had to hide their identity and change their last names (because getting a job/home/etc was very difficult if you didn’t have an American sounding name). My great grandparents left Germany a little before ww1 due to the rise of antisemitism. When they got to the states they had to hide the fact that they were Jewish for their own safety. It’s been kept hush ever since. Which is really messed up. No one should have to hide their Jewishness but yet here we are…

- like I’ve mentioned before Hamas doesn’t care about its own people. If they did care about Palestine then they wouldn’t be withholding food/water/other essentials that was delivered for the people during the war. Nor would they be using their people as human shields. It’s really messed up. If y’all really cared about Palestine and their citizens why aren’t you guys disgusted by what Hamas is doing to its own people??? Hamas are willing sending their citizens to places where they know will get targeted and killed but yet you all are blaming Israel who has been sending warnings to Palestine citizens. Hamas is a terrorist organization. Not a freedom fighter group. They care for no one but themselves. Like any extremist group- they want control and power over the people. They don’t care if lives are lost.

I (and others) are allowed to defend Israeli citizens. They have done nothing to deserve what’s been happening to them. It’s really f-ed up if you think that they deserve to be kidnapped, r****, tortured and killed. Hamas is still holding 100s of hostages and are torturing them like it’s a sick game. Why do y’all think Israel is still fighting Hamas? They are trying to bring home the hostages and to bring down Hamas. Are people not allowed to care about the hostages? Are they not allowed to mourn the loss of their loved ones that were killed on and after 10/7? Are we not allowed to raise awareness about people spreading misinformation and Hamas propaganda? Or talk about the rise of antisemitism? Like what the hell!? We get called heartless or monsters if we care for Israel too. Let me make this clear- I mourn the lives that were lost on both sides ( except for Hamas. Those bastards can burn for all I care.)

y’all think we all should only mourn and care for Palestine. But guess what? I care for both! But I’m a heartless bitch for showing more care for Israeli citizens and wanting to provide a safe place and lend an ear to those who lost loved ones during this horrible situation. I’m a monster for calling out antisemitism and calling out people who are spreading misinformation and Hamas propaganda. Well guess what? I don’t care. You can call me what you want but I know what I am. I have a heart and I care for those where we’re killed during this war (and other wars too) May all of their memories be a blessing (except for Hamas). I also care enough to tell people to stop spreading misinformation and Hamas propaganda because it’s causing more harm than good. But g-d forbid if I do that. Y’all fools start throwing a hissy fit.

If y’all don’t like what I said- so be it. I don’t care anymore. I’m not your “good Jew”. I will continue to call out this shit and provide a safe space for those who needs it. That doesn’t make me a heartless bitch or monster. If you think otherwise then you should check yourself.

Very interesting (concerning) that while there’s a general consensus of “of course there’s queer Muslims and Jews and Christians we love them!” But that love is conditional. You can be religious but not too religious. You can be spiritual as long as it’s not actually that important to you. You can be observant of your religion’s dogma and traditions as long as you keep it away from everybody else.

But I don’t want to cut myself into smaller pieces. I don’t want to take a part of my life and culture and being and hide it away behind closed doors. It’s just…hypocritical and disappointing when people, who clamor about their love for the contradictory and self-authentic, hate when they’re confronted with it.

#tower of babble #catholic #lgbt #side b #sorry I saw a very good post pointing out the way queer Jews are often cited with the caveat that they’re not observant Jews #and how there are queer observant Jews but I didn’t want to derail so I made my own post #because fuckin hell how often do you see white queers telling queer Muslim women to stop wearing their hibjabi (unless it’s for ~cultural~ #purposes). it’s disgusting and demeaning to assume queer people don’t have deeply meaningful spiritual lives. #side b Christians 🤝 observant queer Jews 🤝 devout queer Muslims #me. happily trans and gay: I’m so happy and blessed to have this body and life - #homo/transphobes: you’re going to hell you’re evil you’re stupid you’re faking it #me: huh. oh. um. well I’m still blessed because I know you are not speaking with Christ in your heart- #a surprising number of self proclaimed radicals: uhhhh please don’t acknowledge that you’re Christian it makes us. uncomfortable. #me: …being uncomfortable and confused about others is the pride of Pride? the queer community thrives on contradiction and self definition? #anyways. prof put my pronouns down as he/she/they on the syllabus and I am popping the biggest gender affirming bottles tonight #(praying a chaplet and eating rice like the grad student peasant I am)

“Part of what has made the experience of this event feel so different from the status quo—and so different to Palestinians and Jews—comes from the fact that Palestinians were undeniably the actors, for once, not the acted upon. The protagonists of the story. I consider it an enormous failure of our movements that we have not been able to build a vehicle for that kind of reversal in any other way thus far. Our Jewish movements for Palestine were not powerful enough to stop other Jews from gunning down Palestinians in peaceful marches at the Gazan border fence, or to keep Palestinians from being fired, harassed, and sued for speaking the truth about their experience or—God forbid—advocating the nonviolent tactic of boycott.”

#good article by antizionist Jews for other antizionist Jews #does use religious metaphors if that’s not your thing! #but it’s one of the more relatable articles I’ve read #very much speaking to that stuck in the middle thing I’m seeing so many of us voice

[dirt-grub]

If you’re currently ONLY posting about the Israelis that are doing good things for Palestine/are against what their country is doing and pointing out when certain protestors that are not affiliated with the whole of the free Palestine movement are being antisemitic know I can fucking see you. Obviously these are important things to talk about as Israel does not equal all Jews and antisemitism should be called out every time because it’s fucking serious and disgusting that another entire group of people is being blamed for this genocide other than the colonists in charge and Zionists supporting it but you’re telling on yourself as only interested in covering your own ass and it’s embarrassing. I don’t know how you can see hundreds if not thousands of entire bloodlines being wiped from this earth and instantly think well um hashtag not all Israelis and that’s it. Again. I don’t blame the majority of the Israeli people for what’s happening I blame the governments tied up in this and those in the military who happily post bragging about the shit they stole and destroyed on tiktok. You may not have technically done anything pro Israel but like I said you’re obviously only interested in covering your ass and continuing to be seen as a good person without engaging with the absolute horror the apartheid state of Israel is carrying out and checking your pre existing beliefs.

#charlie talks #again. please READ this post #I’m talking specifically about people I’ve seen and unfollowed for only posting about the good Israelis who are helping and protesting #obviously a government does not define its people #I’m American I’d hate if anyone judged me for what my country does because I stand for none of it and contribute only by taxes #which is literally illegal for me to not do #it’s just very very obvious when you have a specific agenda towards protecting yourself and your image first #it’s like. embarrassing #also. I am Austrian. I grew up in America #every single piece of Shit nazi has been brainwashed that it’s us or them #like OG nazis. neo nazis are a different story #you think you’re being smart by saying well Israel has a right to exist because of the holocaust #poor Austrians thought the holocaust was great because ‘foreigners’ many of which had lived there for generations #if not most of them #we’re supposedly to blame #because they were starving. they were very obviously horrifically wrong. but it is factual they were starving #it is factual that the holocaust displaced and murdered millions of Jews #but colonizing displacing and murdering Palestinians is not anywhere close to an answer that will solve anything and pretending it’s valid #is insane. theres nuances to both situations that make comparing them a bit reductive but both were genocides #and genocide is always justified by the perpetrators in the ways some of y’all are claiming to be an exception this time #stop falling for it. this is game of money and power not Jewish liberation #when my grandparents cheered as hitler killed the baron who’d been keeping them poor guess what? their neighbors started going missing #and they new government kept them just as fucking poor #you’re being used #free Palestine

[puzzle-paradigm]

Can’t believe I have to say this but calling random Jews child mutilators is antisemitic, fyi.

#antisemitism #child harm tw #like. I get you’re mad about circumcision. good for you. #but my dude you don’t even know if I HAVE children #but you’re acting like I’m carving kids up with a butcher knife #if you see a person just. existing as a jew #and your first thought is that they hurt children #then you have a serious problem you need to address #can’t fucking deal with this today so I’m ranting into the void again #honestly probably shouldn’t post this but who gives a shit

[willowcrowned]

what they don’t tell you about judaism is that sometimes you’ll be doing netilat yadaim out of a massive novelty mug with #hophip and a rabbit on it in between episodes of d20 and you’ll be forced to reckon with the fact that your shabbat plans are to drive to get coffee and play video games on your electronic devices while you put up paintings and cook on your stove

#there is definitely a strand of the multiverse where I turned out properly religious #actually there’s still a good chance of it if I live somewhere with religious jews #but like. doing shalom aleichem alone in an apartment REALLY drives home how much of the practical part of Judaism #which is the only part I’ve really ever been interested in #is community-oriented #like Friday evening you go for mincha maariv and Kabbalat shabbat #and then you talk to all your friends after and bring a bunch of them home for dinner #the meal lasts hours and then you do birkat hamazon together #and then you go to sleep #Saturday you wake up and you go to schul and you go over to someone’s house for lunch after the service ends #and THAT takes at least two hours #and then you come home and have a nap or read #and by the time you’re finished it’s time for havdalah *with your family* #idk getting VERY rambly in these notes but it’s like #interesting to me the way that it’s becoming clear that what I like about the knowledge and the rituals isn’t only the knowledge and rituals #which I do! i love it! i wish I’d studied Talmud more when I was younger and the resources were there #but that like. the clarity only comes in the absence of something I didn’t even realize was important #will I still do Shabbat every Friday night even when I’m alone? yes! of course! #it’s a part of me and a part of my life #and most importantly it’s proof that I DID beat my sister in terms of observance despite what everyone always said #(everyone knows that petty grudges are the most integral parts of Judaism) #but like. hm. #it would be nice to do Shabbat with people #it would be nice to know that some people are like me #willow’s life

[badolmen]

Hm. Maybe ending up on some list for that email.

#ra speaks #personal #current events #sorry I emailed my senator about current events ™ #and bro gave the most 🥺 we NEED to commit war crimes. for the Jews. 🥺 response ever #and I feel that my response was fair. bafflement at his disregard for human life. confusion regarding how he thinks more war crimes will #‘bring peace’ with support for a ‘two nation solution’ like my dude. what? #‘oh there’s gonna be so much antisemetism 🥺’ oh. where was your statement last year? the year with the highest antisemetic incidents #on record in the US? huh? why aren’t you acknowledging the rise in Islamophobic violence in retaliation for the Hamas attack? #why are you talking about this like Israel isn’t committing genocide and war crimes like they’re just dealing w terrorists #by bombing civilian hospitals and gunning down journalists? what is wrong with you? #I’m hoping I got the general vibe of. ‘oh. you’re heartless and will be remembered for turning a blind eye to one of the worst ethnic #cleansing of the century. good luck being remembered as anything but a coward or warmonger. may you shrivel in the annals of history.’ #without you know. coming off too. uh. passionate. #but hey at least his email looked like it was written by a human. the govnor got me some janky auto reply like ohhhh I get it fuck you too

in the mood for criticising the very reactionary approach of just. humanity in general. now I’m wondering how much of this is being escalated because we’re just. talking past each other. because people hear one thing and catastrophise it into another. because that’s what trauma does to you. and it happens en masse and bypasses peoples ‘don’t kill people’ instinct

#I think I’ve kinda alluded to it before but. ‘israel is bad and should stop’ I don’t think is the solution #I think it’s going back upstream to the people who took everything from Jews in general then were like ‘you exist on our terms’ #who knew nothing but stopping violence with force and so. that’s what they gave them no choice but to do #dig right upstream to those systemic causes and. this is gonna take A WHILE to unravel #but damn it when someone is lashing out you have to know kindness and safety is often the most effective thing #but how do you deploy that en masse?? and how do you do that but. still ensure justice?? because people killed don’t just come back #and because. you need freedom for palestine too. real freedom #anyway if I talk in circles enough I’m gonna be like ‘the cross shows both justice and disarming by creating safety’ #which is all well and good but. we so badly need this to be a actual tangible solution #and if you know your enemy’s mind better than they do. then you know how to fix it #bloody devils advocate affective empathy hopefully I can do something good with you #you guys know all I’m saying is generational trauma and tribalism is a thing and hurting people hurt people? #and the solution is gonna involve deconstructing A LOT of antisemitism real fast. and demonising israel as a whole is not gonna help #tryna remove the barriers for justice for palestine. idk what this reads as but. that’s why we need it asap

I would kill them all.’ #and ‘the peace will come when they’re all dead’ #that’s a whole other thing #I was fully prepared to argue against all his points #and good god did I #for once I didn’t have a breakdown when talking to him #I just explained why he was wrong and gave him the evidence and stats #but in his words ‘I don’t need to research because I already know everything’ #jesus fucking christ #I said ‘maybe I’m just a radical but I don’t think anyone deserves to die’ and he said that yeah that was radical #then two seconds later claimed that I would have been happy if hitler killed all the Jews in Germany???? #please make it make sense #like that would literally be your position. that the peace would come after everyone was dead. that’s literally what you said #I’m fuming right now #he’s the only Zionist I’ve actually talked to in two years #and the only Zionist that I know of that I still talk to #I used to think that the man could change if he got off of Fox News for two fucking seconds #but no he’s apparently just as bloodthirsty as the rest of them

[ao3commentoftheday]

As a volunteer, do you have anything to say about what the OTW did to bjorn?

To begin with, I’m going to speak in generalities instead of specifics. This is for a couple of reasons. 1) I’ve been on hiatus from the OTW since August because my life got extremely complicated and volunteering wasn’t something I could continue doing right now. 2) As a result of my hiatus, I was not present for any of the events that transpired. This is simply my own opinion based on the available information, so you can feel free to disagree.

Now, as to your phrasing. You say “what the OTW did to bjorn” and I ask, “What did the OTW do to them?” From the meager information I’ve seen, all of which has been provided by bjorn themselves, they left the OTW of their own accord because they were unhappy with being talked to about their behaviour. This behaviour occurred in the OTW’s chat space which, for those of you who don’t know, is the OTW’s workspace. As a fully online organization, that platform is the equivalent of their office. 

bjorn was in that shared workspace, and they set their name to include the phrase “Palestine will be free.” Later, they changed it to “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” They were told that the first phrase made some people uncomfortable but that they were allowed to continue using it. They were told the second was unacceptable and that they should stop using it. bjorn chose to continue using the second phrasing.

Why is the second phrase seen as unacceptable? A quick google took me to the Anti Defamation League’s explanation of its antisemitism. That same google also provided me with Al Jazeera’s explanation of its complicated history. As a person who is neither Israeli nor Palestinian and as someone who hasn’t spent years studying the history of the region or the complexities of the conflict there, I’m comfortable with the idea that it’s a nuanced issue that different people will see in different ways, and I have personally decided that I should probably avoid using an expression whose interpretation varies so wildly.

Here, I will digress to remind everyone that the OTW is an international volunteer organization. That means there are volunteers there from all over the world - including Israel and Palestine. As far as I’m aware, bjorn is not from that region of the world.

So we have someone using a controversial phrase in a workplace setting where there are people who are immediately affected by the current conflict. My assumption is that they were not doing this to be intentionally aggressive. While I do recognize their name, there are nearly 1000 volunteers at the OTW so I’m afraid I don’t remember this one individual. I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here, however, and assume that they were not calling for the eradication of all Jews.

I can also, however, understand why anyone who has seen this same phrase used as a justification for terrorist attacks would have difficulty doing the same. 

From what I saw in the original post, bjorn was given a warning about their behaviour and then a more formal letter when it continued. CCAP (Constructive Corrective Action Procedure) has a pretty dystopian sound to it, but it’s basically just a conversation between a manager (Chair) and an employee (volunteer) when the employee has kinda messed up a little bit and the manager wants to get them back on track. If the CCAP goes well, then the volunteer is back in good standing and the situation can be put behind them. It’s only if the volunteer and their Chair are unable to get things back on track that the volunteer will be asked to leave the Org. As far as I know, that’s only happened a handful of times (but I’m no expert, and I’m still on hiatus so I can’t go and try to look things up)

bjorn apparently chose option #3, which is to leave the OTW rather than go through that process. That’s a perfectly fine decision to make, and I’m sure they’re not the first volunteer to do so. It was their choice, though. The OTW didn’t kick them out. The OTW didn’t force them out. The OTW told them “this is inappropriate behaviour in an international workplace setting,” and bjorn decided to leave rather than change that behaviour.

I have nothing against bjorn, and I hope their post-OTW life is a good one. However, I've seen posts that have been using bjorn's situation as a way to claim the OTW is a “Zionist organization.” I would like to remind everyone that the OTW is an organization dedicated to the preservation of fanworks. What role do people expect the OTW to take in an international negotiation between Israel and Palestine? How many international policy volunteers do people think they have, and which committee do people think they belong to? Technical Support? Communications?

I’m trending towards sarcasm here but it’s only because I can’t quite believe that there really are people who seem to believe that the OTW - again a fanwork preservation organization - is attempting to do anything at all with regards to an international conflict. 

If anyone out there hates the OTW, I encourage them to avoid OTW’s various projects and to decline the biannual opportunities to donate, but please don't generate or share conspiracy theories. There are more than enough of them going around already.

rules of engagement with this post: antisemitism, islamophobia, or racism will get you blocked. point blank, period. bad faith arguing will also get you blocked. harassment, gentile bullshit, white saviorism, historical revisionism, etc. all get the block. i’m posting this bc i have emotions not bc i want to spend 5 hours explaining to a complete stranger why people not dying is good actually.

honestly terrifying how westerners who consider themselves progressive view violence not as a last resort but like as a sort of righteous duty, and peace as some sort of boring consolation prize. i, along with many of my jewish and palestinian friends, woke up this morning to news that some of our friends and family might be dead or might die in the coming days and weeks. y’all woke up and saw this as an opportunity to harass jews and palestinians online. i see some of y’all posting about what’s happening as if you’ve dedicated your entire life to this single cause when a search of your blog shows me you haven’t posted shit about israel or palestine since fucking 2021.

there is nothing to celebrate about an extremist faction targeting civilians of a nation trapped under a corrupt government. there is nothing to celebrate about more needless violence, death, and oppression. the pain and suffering of our loved ones does not exist for you to collect activism points, and i’m really fucking tired of watching non palestinian gentiles scoff at the thought of peace because god fucking forbid our people stop dying so you have one less excuse to be racist or antisemitic.

Kinda crazy how any post I make about my experience of antisemitism — whether or not it mentions Israel — immediately becomes inundated with comments about Palestinian pain and suffering. Do you really not see how inappropriate that is, people?

When Black People post about their experience of racism, it’s not OK to come in to that space and talk about, idk, war in Sudan.

When Asian People talk about their experience of racism, it’s not appropriate to come into that space and start talking about China’s treatment of Uyghur people or North Korean aggression.

When Muslim people talk about their experience of Islamophobia, it’s not OK to come into that space and start talking about all the horrible things Isis or Al Qaeda have done.

When a trans person starts talking about their experience of transphobia, it’s not OK to come into that space and start talking about the latest horrible thing Caitlyn Jenner said.

Why are you able to understand this when it comes to every other group, but posts about Jewish pain are always filled with arguments about Palestine that blatantly imply that actually—my group, Jews—actually deserve the hatred we receive?

Spoiler alert: It’s because you’re antisemitic and will double down on your beliefs 100000 times to prove to yourself that you’re not, because actually confronting that you have hateful beliefs is too scary for you.

I’m sorry if it messes with your sense of self righteous inherent goodness, but you have and perpetuate systemic antisemitism just like you have all other forms of systemic bigotry. And if you don’t address it, that makes you a bigot on purpose. Deal with your hatred and stop being horrible to Jews.
