If you support blatant antisemitism such as Molotov cocktails being thrown at a synagogue (IN BERLIN GERMANY, NOT ISRAEL) then you should get curb stomped. U people say “punch a Nazi” until it’s actually time to punch a Nazi and stand up for Jewish people. Some of you are not anti-Zionist you are 100% anti-Jew.

Goyim who reblog and internalize this message will get my eternal thank you!

#re: that last post I just. i'm not jewish which i don't say to be like oh i can't really talk about this #because goyim absolutely need to talk about antisemetism as well #but i clarify because i just want to get out that when i see these comments #from celebrities and talk show hosts and other bigots with platforms #i know that they're not talking about me #but they're talking about hundreds of people i know and love #kids i've seen grow up and adults i've worked with for years #and it's not just They're Attacking Real People #they're attacking a culture that has brought all those people together #practices and traditions and celebrations and customs that make up their lives and do no harm to anyone #and it's something that hurts me doubly that antisemites want to destroy their lives both literally and spiritually #like obviously the worse part is the threat to their lives but i just. i see these comments out in the world #and getting past the rage that someone would want to hurt my friends/coworkers/campers #it makes me even angrier that it's for such a reason #i've been lucky enough to be invited to many jewish... god i wish i knew the right word to call them. celebrations? they're not all holiday #but regardless #i've been invited to many and it's incredibly wonderful getting to see these people i know celebrate a part of their life #in safety! and happiness! sometimes!

So I’ve seen a few posts going around lately about philosemitism, but mostly in the context of people being called out for it, and it’s occurring to me that if you don’t have a frame of reference for it, you probably don’t understand why it’s really a very bad thing.

So I’m going to share a story that happened to me a few years ago, when I was studying for my b’nei mitzvah.

This lady pulls into my drive thru at work. She’s wearing a MAGA hat, and before I can hide my Magen David necklace—this was not that long after Charlottesville—she absolutely GUSHES “oh, you’re Jewish?” and immediately starts going on about beautiful traditions, Jesus was Jewish, yadda yadda. (All the Jews reading this are currently nodding because they’ve all met this woman at least once.)

And then she gets to the part I want to highlight for the goyim, the learning part of this:

Her: And we need to stick together, because you know what’s right in the middle of Jerusalem, right?

Me: …..the Temple? (It’s not, it’s at the city’s edge, but I could see someone hearing “center of religious and cultural life” and making an assumption.)

Her: no!

Me: …….the Knesset?

Her: no! How do you spell Jerusalem?

Me, thinking she saw the Hebrew book next to me: yod-reish-shin-lamed—-

Her: no, no! U-S-A! J-E-R-U-S-A! The United States is part of Israel!

Y’all.

This woman.

Legitimately believed.

That “Jerusalem.”

Was the name.

Of a Jewish city.

In a language.

THAT DOES NOT HAVE A “J” SOUND.

She literally told me I was wrong when I pronounced it Yerushalayim, which is the Hebrew transliteration of the older “Urusalim,” which is the original name of the city in the Canaanite languages circa 1500 BCE. (An even older inscription has been found in Egyptian, but it’s a little wonky because the two languages didn’t have the exact same sounds—think of how an English word spoken by a Japanese person and then transliterated as they said it would look.) “Jerusalem” as a form literally cannot occur until after the word has filtered through Latin and into English—at the earliest, the 3rd or 4th century CE—because there’s no J in Latin, either.

THIS is philosemitism: this woman wanted so badly for Judaism to be her fun toy that she completely ignored Jewish reality. We weren’t actually people to her; we were a thing for her to exotify. When actual Jewish experience refuted her she ignored it, but many philosemites will get angry when they’re faced with reality.

If you’re thinking “wow, that sounds a lot like fetishization,” you’re right, because it is. It’s fetishization crossed with the kind of “support” a lot of people offer the queer community, where they love it when it’s waving rainbow flags and “oh my g-d, girl, slay,” but the moment it’s anger over the STD crisis or the underserving of homeless queer youth, they dip. They’re only around while it’s ~*~*~aesthetic.~*~*~

Philosemitism isn’t “loving Jews too much.” It’s loving a stereotyped ideal you put on a pedestal, and not allowing for diversity of Jewish experience.

[hero-israel]

What's so annoying about this constant uwu I'm baby leftist refrain of "just because you're indigenous to a place doesn't mean you have the right to displace people" that's coming from goyim and antizionist self hating Jews alike is that... Jews decolonizing Eretz Yisrael did not have to displace anyone. That was never the intended goal of even the most conservative, if you can call them this, racist Zionist leaders?

Jews resettling our homeland en masse does not fucking mean displacing anyone. These are two separate events. And blaming Jewish immigration for the displacement of Arabs is ignorant at best. It's a clear red flag they don't know the complexities of the Nakba, the different (if concurrent) factors for different groups of Palestinians to flee or be forced out in waves.

In any event, had Palestine accepted the partition plan, no displacement would have occurred. No war = no ethnic cleansing. Even though Jewish communities were routinely destroyed leading up to the partition, there still was no general will to cleanse the land of Palestinians among Jews. Many of the 750,000 Palestinians were displaced as a military exigency by a nascent Israel. This would not have occurred had the partition plan gone as intended. This would not have occurred had their been no partition plan at all.

Jewish resettlement =/= cleansing Arabs.

And at worst, acting like Jewish decolonization itself is an act of displacement, that all this was inevitable because of the mere presence of Jews increasing in Palestine, or some character of ~European~ Kha- I mean- Jew-ish people, or that their was some secret Zionist committee who all got together to drink blood in their Bank Palaces and circle jerked at the idea of cleansing Palestine... I mean then you're just antisemitic. Jews moving anywhere is not a crime, it is not a plague, it is not a humanitarian catastrophe. Jews should not be barred from any country. Human migration, at least when it's not military and financially expediated by an imperial power, is never immoral.

I don't think the Ottomans resettling Circassians and Balkan Muslims in the region was bad. I don't think Egyptians and other Arabs immigrating to Palestine in the 19th century was bad. The pro Palestinian side denies that these groups even came to Palestine, but if they were forced to acknowledge it, I doubt they would say they were displacing the totally real and indigenous Palestinian People? Probably because Arabs/Muslims are granted inherent legitimacy to them. This was always about "The Ummah 💪" to them. A Malaysian has more of a right to live in Palestine than a Jew from the Old Yishuv. They just hate Jews.

The Jewish resettlers built towns on empty land. They bought as much land as they could legally from the Ottomans. There were zero pogroms against Arab communities. There was space and economic opportunity for Jews and Arabs alike, and every Zionist leader acknowledged this. Does this mean everything was perfect and the Jews were totally faultless? Of course not. But the Zionists set out with a clear code of conduct for Zionism to occur. This is historical fact.

Even if not all of the 750,000 Palestinians who became refugees were specifically cleansed by the proto IDF, 200,000 or so people being cleansed is still a crime against humanity. Almost a million people fleeing their country at once is still a tragedy. But this was not an inevitable and direct consequence of Jews rebuilding Israel. There is a timeline where Zionism still occurred and was successful, and no Nakba occurred. This was 100% always a possible outcome.

Insisting otherwise means you think Zionism itself is a genocidal colonial mindset, which clearly all these people do believe wholeheartedly. But we'll never get anywhere as long as people don't recognize the umbrella of connotations and ideas that Zionism held and still holds. We'll never get anywhere while people still treat Jews living in our homeland as foreign suspicious duplicitous dangerous interlopers. Why should Jews come to the table if we're treated as the enemy no matter what? If the very core of Israeli identity is treated as rotten and not worthy of, not just respect, but life?

Excellent points throughout!

Retconning Zionism into being only about refugee displacement is also done to stifle discussion of the partition plans of 1947 (or 1937). Palestiners want to have their cake and eat it too - nonstop crying over the decisions of 1940s Jews, disregard and denialism of those of 1940s Arabs. The talking point is always "Why should they have given an equal share of the land / the best land / ANY land to new immigrants?" Funny how Jewish immigration was such a threat that it was perfectly understandable and natural for Arabs to riot and massacre to make it stop, yet not enough of a threat to consider that maybe it would get bigger and that a negotiated compromise would be a good idea. The only thought, the only goal, was killing.

(Similar: "there can't be a 2SS because of the settlers, let's make a 1SS" - the settlers would still be there in a 1SS, so they aren't the block. The block is refusing to allow for any Israel at all. Winning is the Jews losing.)

Genuinely, from the bottom of this random goy's heart and the depths of my soul, I hope that one day, we left-wing goyim will all start to listen and speak up, and you'll get to stop being so damn unheard, attacked, and isolated. (I was going to say feeling, but it's not a feeling; it's a reality. I see so many Jewish people all over the political map condemning Islamophobia, and so few leftist non-Jews saying jack about antisemitism when cultural centers, synagogues, and preschools are being targeted, when Jews are being harassed and attacked. I am just one small voice, but I will keep shouting into the void about this as long as I have a voice to shout.)

I will never be able to thank you enough for this message. It honestly feels like all Jews are being gaslit right now and it is so scary.

Knowing that people outside our little culture can hear and see our pain is going a long way to restoring hope. Keep showing up. It matters. You matter. Together, we will get through this.

Sending you warmth and positive vibes @minim-calibre 💜

I know that the media would have you believing that war is constant and ruthless but sometimes it’s a lot of sitting around and waiting for orders. And a lot of talking. Really introspective talking. And the things that people say when there’s a very real chance that they might die, are probably the most poignant and well said. So here’s a conversation my unit had in a million different ways with a million different words:

We love beings Jews. We love being Israeli. We can’t imagine being anything else or belonging to any other group. But this statistic that we are 0.2% of the worlds population has been so much more than a statistic lately. We all feel it. We feel how so much of the world has turned their backs on us — how the same people that posted those stupid blue squares on instagram are now using language that calls for our genocide and the destruction of our homeland. We know that for so many people we are pawns in their political game. We know that so many people think we are sub-human and therefore deserving of less respect than any other person. We don’t need anyone to tell us what they think of us because so many people are showing us by what they’re doing or not doing. And that’s okay. We’re used to it. We’ve always been alone. We’ve always fought (and won) our own battles. We’ll win this one without any of you. It’s fine. But it makes me think about how the same people that alienate us are the ones that critique how we live in insular communities (like the neighborhood I grew up in Crown Heights) and how our religion is closed and how we don’t need a place (read: Israel) where we all live together (assumedly because no other group has such a place — which is just a total lie). And there’s this thought amongst many Jews that communities like the one I grew up in in Brooklyn exist as a result of the persecution we faced. Just like there’s this thought that Israel exists because of the Holocaust. The survivors of the worst thing that can happen to a group decided to live together and close out the outside world. Now I’d argue that we certainly haven’t closed anyone out in Israel - I’m currently serving with Israelis that are Arab and Druze. But is our country very Jew-centric? Absolutely. Just like Crown Heights is very Jew-centric. Goyim can/do live and visit Crown Heights but it is a place that caters to what is otherwise considered a counter-culture in America. Just like Israel caters to Jews in an area of the world where all of us were expelled. We are fine living in these places. We have created these communities and curated them to our Jewish way of life. But people wonder why we close ourselves off and why we need special spaces - and that same ignorance is the answer. Sure, our diets are different and we have laws about how we go to school and work and pray that make it very difficult to live in a non-Jewish world but there’s a very real truth that so many people are scared to say aloud so I will: We don’t trust goyim. Goyim have never stood up for us or protected us. Only we can keep ourselves safe. Only we truly care about our wellbeing. We do not feel safe around goyim. And I think we have every right to be distrustful. We have every right to think that our survival and security rests solely in our fellow Jew. So while this has all proven that the Jewish people are amazing and loving and stronger than even we knew, it’s also only cemented this idea that we absolutely need our own world. And it’s clear that we’ve essentially lived in our own world all this time anyway - our world view is not your world view. Our experiences are so incredibly different than the goy experience. If you’re not Jewish and especially if you’re not an Israeli Jew, you can’t possibly understand any of this. And that’s fine! But don’t get angry when, in the absence of your support, we’ve figured it out. And don’t be upset when your Jewish friends - Israeli or not - have pushed you away because you didn’t show up in the way they’d hoped. You’ve merely proven us right. We do not need you. Our communities are enough. Our country is enough. Together, we will outlive you.

[i-aint-even-bovvered]

couple years ago i had a post about Jewish fear break containment. i still believe in the things that i said, but there's something ive been thinking about a lot recently.

Jewish anger.

im still trying to get my thoughts together about that topic, but its definitely not something that most goyim understand.

#jumblr

[xclowniex]

I have seen a lot of jews on tumblr get sent asks which are claiming that they must be psyops or working for the Israeli government in spreading propaganda aka talking about antisemitism.

And like, firstly assuming that a jew online who talks about antisemitism works for the Israeli propaganda department is literally antisemitic due to the whole "jews control the world" trope.

Secondly, I think it stems from people's binary? Trinary? view of different social media platforms.

What I mean by that is there are some very visibly right wing social media platforms like 4chan. People therefore think that there must be at least one left wing social media platform and well, we all know that Facebook, Instagram and snapchat don't fit the bill so it must be tumblr.

Despite people viewing tumblr as left wing, it's actually not. Like I've seen so many videos online talk about different tumblr dramas which include some very right wing communities. I've even seen it with my own one and a half eyes.

And you've also got people who view talking about antisemitism equals zionist who wants Palestine destroyed. Which is very much not true and those two things do not correlate at all.

So bring together the perception of tumblr being a left wing platform and jews talking about antisemitism equaling violent zionism, and well, you've now got people who cannot believe that the above jew is on this platform unless they are here to spread propaganda.

And it's like, very dangerous to think like that. Not only to jews, but to goyim as well.

Like ignoring how jews talking about antisemitism is not propaganda at all and all that jazz, assuming that all content you see online which rubs you the wrong way must be propaganda hurts you.

It hurts your ability to see propaganda from your own beliefs which would lead you to harm others as well as understand other people's experiences.

[achromic-red-dreams-doze-angrily]

Crazy how the Jews I follow are receiving insane amounts of antisemitism for *checks notes* Being Jewish While Israel Does A Thing, meanwhile the goyim I follow are reblogging posts from those exact same antisemites because those posts are on the "right side" of The Thing. Newsflash! Antisemitism is bad and helps nobody, and it particularly undermines this specific issue you claim to care about. At this point, if you are reblogging things about the ongoing conflict and the overarching issue without checking OP's blog to see if they are antisemitic and finding a reputable news source for external verification, then you are voluntarily, purposefully, and maliciously spreading misinformation whose only goal is to spread hate and vitriol against a specific group. It is in fact incredibly easy to not spread dogwhistles and blatant lies and conspiracy theories and canards. Your actions are actively working against and harming Palestinians and their right to self-determination, so get your act together if you actually want to support them.

#im done!!!! im tired!!!!! im fucking over it!!!!!1 #i am THIS CLOSE to unfollowing every single gentile on my dash bc frankly y'all's behavior has been absolutely atrocious the past month #it is so obvious that you don't actually care about helping Palestinians. you just want to get the Performative Activism Badge so you can #look back in however many years and say you were on the <right side> of history without actually doing anything to #materially change said history #literally who do you think you are helping by doing this. bc from my point of view the only people this helps is antisemites #mood: jewy #antisemitism

for the fake fic ask game:

a THG fic with: accidental marriage, political intrigue and mutual pining!

OOF this is so hard i’ve been thinking about this one for a WHILE but i think i got it!! in honor of Passover…a Jewish!Everlark (shtetl!District 12, really) AU set during Catching Fire.

The twin burns on their hands aren’t the only things binding Katniss and Peeta together that fateful night before the Passover Seder. When they tear the loaf to drop in the Mellark fireplace together, cleansing the house of chametz before the holiday, they’re transported to another time with another burnt loaf…until they look down to find a toasted piece of bread in each of their hands. And, worse yet, Mrs. Mellark saw the whole thing. Couldn’t they at least have waited to do the toasting under a chuppah? Oy, what a shanda!

As Katniss and Peeta are marched down to the Justice Building by Mrs. Mellark and the town rabbi, Katniss fears the repercussions from President Snow, whose perfect, goyische Capitol wedding was just ruined by the accidental fulfillment of the District 12 tradition.

A month after Peeta stepped on the glass in the Justice Building, making their marriage legal in the eyes of both the state and HaShem, they learn the consequences of their actions when President Snow announces the Quell. With nothing left to lose, Katniss and Peeta start to think that maybe the meshugas they caused could be what saves them in the arena. After all, being star-crossed lovers worked pretty well last time.

In the battle for their culture, their rights, their traditions, and their lives, they can’t help but wonder…is it beshert?

glossary for the goyim:

shtetl - small Jewish towns in Eastern Europe (generally pre WWII for obvious reasons)

Passover - holiday where we don’t eat leavened bread and we often burn it to ensure our houses are entirely bread-free before the holiday

Seder - super long ritual dinner we do on the first night or two of passover

chametz - leavened bread

chuppah - a big ritual tarp we get married under

shanda - scandal

rabbi - Jewish spiritual leader (comparable to a minister or imam)

goyische - goy-like (“goy” means non-Jew; serves a similar role to gringo/a in Spanish-speaking regions)

breaking the glass - wedding tradition where the groom steps on a piece of glass which usually ends the ceremony

HaShem - literally translates to “the name” but is just God (we’re not allowed to say God’s name)

meshugas - ridiculousness, chaos

beshert - basically destiny (“it would’ve happened anyway…”)

Jews of Tumblr, let's share something positive.

What's one good thing, whether related to Judaism or not, that happened recently? It can be anything, no matter how big or small.

For me, I managed to read a whole novel in one sitting this past Friday. This used to be a more regular occurrence for me, but with schoolwork and stress in general I haven't really been able to sit down and read as much. It was really nice to sit and read for reading's sake, as opposed to using it as a way to procrastinate or something, haha.

Goyim, I'm so grateful for the support you've been showing on this blog. If you've had something positive happen, share it too! We need all the positivity we can get right now, and I'm trying to include you more in my posts. Right now, we need to stand together.

jewish people who are supporting Isn'treal rn does Not make sense to me. did you forget? did you forget that this happened to us??? We, of all people, should empathise. Sickening that goyim are condemning genocide while some of us are not. Get your fucking shit together.

#not star trek #but neither was that post about my car so whatever #im fucking pissed #free palestine #and stop including 'tomorrow in isreal' in your toasts #i will not l'chiam to such filth

[prismatic-bell]

I don't know about you, but I'm getting so damn tired being called Islamophobic or pro-geocide every time I call out some antisemitic shit or say something about how Jews have historical and cultural ties to the Levant. The absolute hate that pours off of them any time a Jew affirm our existence is staggering.

I have people tearing into me right for saying that no Jew believes that Muslims destroyed the Second Temple. In theory, people can be anti-Israel without being antisemitic. In practice? I have yet to see it on this hellsite.

I'm proud to be Jewish, and I'm never going to shut up about it. Idk this is just kinda rambling, but I wanted to say that seeing you on my dash is always a breath of fresh air.

I feel you on all counts. We’ve got to stick together because it’s damn clear a lot of goyim have no interest in anything but our deaths.

[wallace-wells]

ngl unpopular opinion but the people who violently hate steven universe and the people who violently hate south park are almost a perfect circle venn diagram of thinly veiled antisemitism towards jewish creators regardless of how they incorporate their culture into the shows they produce. (that and it further proves that you guys don't know that serialized television isn't the same as episodic television.)

steven universe (created by rebecca sugar, who was raised jewish!) tries to incorporate their values into a lot of the show! steven doesnt "forgive space nazis", and if you watched the show in full (again, serialization changes how you watch a show!), you would get the CONTEXT for why each character acts how they do.

south park (co-created by trey parker and matt stone, stone being jewish!) is often sited for rampant antisemitism in pop culture, often without siting that matt stone is jewish and the stereotypes him and parker are mocking come from a place of genuine knowing. i am not excusing jokes that go too far, other issues people have with the show (as to not derail this post) or the people that have been hurt by sp fans; but once more, serialization changes context, and despite popular belief amongst fans and otherwise, south park has always been primarily serialized and continues to be.

idk. and both shows have done leaps and bounds for positive queer representation on mainstream television so it just feels... very bad and mean spirited and a little suspicious that these groups often fall together lol

dont add additions if you're goyim
