I will never forgive goyim for taking the word for the group that was literally all about mass murdering 6 million jews in the most horrific genocide in history that wasn't even 100 year ago, and twisting the meaning to be "evil person that is so fascist and evil they're not human anymore" and then turn around and call Jews that.

the Nazi belief is literally that JEWS ARE SUBHUMAN. Jews literally CANNOT be Nazis unless they genuinely see their people and themselves as subhuman and deserving of death.

another quote (from here):

The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of American foreign policy, and if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern.

Thinking about the weird principal/agent problems in making things aimed at kids: parents have huge censorship and budget powers, and you need to either placate them or establish such overwhelming demand from the actual audience that they’re overruled

Like, Where the Wild Things Are was initially a flop with adults until libraries and schools could establish enough childrens’ demand for it; same with In The Night Kitchen, with the added bonuses of nudity (gasp! horror!) and men with toothbrush mustaches putting a kid in an oven (who cares, we’ve got dicks to censor).

But there are tons of artists less prestigious than Maurice Sendak making art that kids love and parents hate, and I dread to think how much of it languishes on shelves, not even notorious enough to get banned, just forgotten.

The rise of socially-conscious middle grade and YA is nice and all, but I think it’s vitally important for kids to also read some weird fucked-up shit that absolutely wasn’t aimed at them, but you definitionally can’t market anything as that

I don’t have a clear point or policy proposal with this, but: Isidore draws a lot from that stripe of kids’ books about how being an utter bastard is a crucial developmental stage, retooled for the messy emotions of transition. Those books get a lot of bans and scrutiny, especially if there’s anything remotely queer about them, and I really value their place in literature and love seeing their echoes in art made by and for people of any age.

being jewish and going to europe is fun because you have to weigh up the desire to go see some areas with historic jewish populations/similar significance in jewish history with the question of, Do i want to be made to think about the holocaust on my nice holiday

I saw this on a post with over 50k notes and honestly, this kind of thing pisses me off. Yiddish is just as much of a real language as English or any other language you can think of. It isn't just a few funny English words like the ones you probably know (shlep, shmuck, nosh, etc). The long dramatic Yiddish insults that get passed around every few years on listicle websites aren't things anyone actually says. Yiddish isn't any better suited for endearment or complaining than literally every other language in existence.

Do you know why so few Jews speak Yiddish today? Before the Holocaust there were 11 million Yiddish speakers worldwide, but after the Holocaust and the assimilation that followed there are now less than a million worldwide. Seeing Yiddish be further reduced to just silly complaining words is kind of heartbreaking to me.

Despite the decline in speakers, Yiddish is nowhere near dead! It's still spoken in Hassidic communities, and more and more secular Jews and non-Jews alike are learning it. You don't have to go through the effort of learning a whole new language, but just respecting it as a language with a rich culture and history is already a step to save it from being forgotten.

I can’t believe I’m being recommended Hetalia: axis powers posts in this, the year of our lord, 5784.

ETA: hi. This is not a pro-Hetalia post. This is me being dismayed at the recommendation of a propaganda piece aimed at the woobification of the fucking people who tried to wipe out my own people being recommended to me in the (Jewish) year, 5784. I am turning off Reblogs.

You know having to read about the holocaust over and over and over for the past couple of months has not been particularly good for my psyche so Id really appreciate if people could tag stuff with holocaust cw so i can filter it out. I have a responsibility to read and share Palestinian voices and information about the ongoing atrocities but I think I can do that just fine without the constant reminder that most of my people were annihilated.

Ron Dermer: “The lesson of the Holocaust is that the Jewish people need power”

Dermer said that his top two priorities as strategic affairs minister were ensuring that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon, and to “expand the circle of peace” between Israel and countries in the Arab world

Ambassador Ron and Rhoda Dermer (at left) are honored at the March of the Living's gala in Miami on Jan. 10, 2023.

By eJewishPhilanthropy staff ⋅ January 10, 2023

At the 35th anniversary gala of the March of the Living, Israeli Minister Ron Dermer said that the lesson of the Holocaust is that “the Jewish people need power.”

Dermer, who previously served as Israel’s ambassador to the United States and now serves as the Israeli minister of strategic affairs, was the main honoree of the gala alongside his wife, Rhoda. The event, which took place at the Beth Torah Benny Rok Campus, a Conservative synagogue in Miami, also included a tribute to Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, the former Ashkenazi chief rabbi of Israel. 

“The Holocaust took everything away from the Jewish people. For the victims, it took away their property, it took away their dignity. It ultimately took away their lives,” Dermer said. “But it is very important not to take the Holocaust itself away from the Jewish people. Because there has been an attempt in recent years to universalize the Holocaust, to turn it into another genocide, another massacre that happened. And I understand why people want to do that, because they want it to resonate with people outside of the Jewish community. I understand that.”

He added, “What is the lesson of the Holocaust to the Jews? Is the lesson that we have to teach tolerance? Did we need six million to die to teach tolerance?… We didn’t need the Holocaust to teach tolerance. The lesson of the Holocaust is that the Jewish people need power. That’s the lesson of the Holocaust.”

“Jews are uniquely uncomfortable with the idea of power because there’s a price of power,” he said. “You know what that price is? It’s imperfection. When you are sovereign, you are imperfect. When you are a victim, you can be morally perfect. I would rather be sovereign and imperfect.”

Speaking at the gala, Dermer recounted an instance when, while serving as ambassador, he visited Majdanek, the Nazi death camp, which he called “the most surreal moment that I’ve had… in my entire life.” While outside the camp’s crematorium, he received a secure call from Israel’s and the United States’ national security advisers about an impending American airstrike in Syria and how Israel would be involved in the operation.

“While this call is happening, and while we were talking about who’s going to bomb what when, I had an image of a five-story chimney to my left and a three-story mound of human ash to my right—the ultimate symbol of Jewish powerlessness—and here I was, privileged to be the ambassador of the sovereign Jewish state of Israel, speaking to the most important ally that we have.”

Dermer—who has served for decades as a close adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—said that his top two priorities as minister were ensuring that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon, and to “expand the circle of peace” between Israel and countries in the Arab world that grew through the 2020 Abraham Accords. He also hopes that Israel “will be the most important ally of the United States in the 21st century.”

“Prime Minister Netanyahu is determined to expand it and we hope to work very closely with the Biden administration,” Dermer said. “I think the policy towards Iran is a critical part of expanding that because I think it opens the space for Arab leaders to move into a public alliance with Israel as we face this common enemy together.”

Well, this is depressing.

I think that if ken penders had switched places with someone like Chris Claremont or mark miller lpeople would have literally kept a cult following of him

I wholeheartedly believe that Penders infamy comes more from sonic than outright being a bad writer

oh fucking disagree im sorry but he is a horrible writer. the knuckles the echidna comics are painful. and we all remember the misused holocaust quote

#og post #ask #anon #holocaust cw #i guess he can do okay when hes under somebody else but as head writer? no fucking way

I think the most insulting thing about the Oscars to me wasn't even the "I'm a good Jew" speech, it was seeing a video by a creator I respected rating the movies and being like "ugh another holocaust movie? we get already, didn't we say everything that could be said about ww2 by now? 🙄" and then immediately saying about Killers of the Flower Moon "I don't have enough melanin to talk about this movie 😌💅". like man.

i love drag but its so hard to enjoy it sometimes because so many popular queens are just... kinda awful. rupaul has apparently apologized for his transphobia but its hard to believe any apology a celebrity gives, especially when you toss in the oil fracking. sharon needles and alaska pulled that swastika shit and apparently sharon is also just an overall horrendous person and id expect to find out the same of alaska if i had the mental energy to read about that. while i was watching old videos of trixie and katya, katya made a blatant fucking blood libel "joke", and while searching around to see if anyone had ever commented on that, i found out trixie did a look mimicking anne frank. i know the drag scene doesnt revolve around RPDR and celebrities dont represent the entire community but it feels like most drag fans are mainly into the mainstream queens like these and its... concerning. and alienating. i dont want bigotry, i dont want to constantly be expecting to hear that another queen has done something shitty, i want to just fucking have fun and be queer. not to mention the way so many fans echo rupauls sentiments of binarism and boxes and all that, the idea that drag is just cis gay men trying to see who can look the most convincingly like a cis woman. like tell me how the queerphobe boot tastes

healing my relationship with my ethnicity, roots, past, present & future.

gonna preface this that by "healing my relationship with my ethnicity" it is not due to trauma in the Jewish community but the severe antisemitism I received as a child. this is also me healing my relationship with the religious part of Judaism because I hid and denied this part for so long in an attempt to fit in.

my christian & Mormon teachers would call in my local Synagogue asking if I even visit because otherwise they would require of me to visit the christian religion lessons. they made comments, whenever I spoke Hebrew ( and I was only 8 at the time ) that I sounded like a terrorist. I was made to partake in Christian prayers etc and that ruined my relationship with religion in general.

Then the hate because I was born in Israel started. And because I was Jewish. I grew up on the poverty line, I did not get a phone until I was 16 and my classmates would make comments about how "of course your family is stingy, you are Jews" or tell me "don't behave so Jewish" when I did not want to share my lunch.

One time we did a little exercise where we wrote down what we think each student would be once they grew up. Under my name? "Gas chamber fodder". they'd also call our landline & wish my Israeli family death.

So now I am healing myself with books! Connecting with all that was taken from me - I am also in talk with a Community if I may join them. They are further away but they are queer friendly, I could only go every month but they live-stream during holidays and shabbat.

anyway I decided to buy books because as a librarian I sure know how healing they are. It will take time to read them all ( & also not all are seen here. Like I bought the Torah but I also downloaded things for my ebook ). I am certain I won't agree with everyone listed here but I want to read as much as possible.

Sure Hitler did a lot of bad things and all, but he also killed one of the worst dictators the world has ever seen, so he did some good things too.
