So, I know that quite a few people know the Jewish joke: “they tried to killed us, we survived, let’s eat”, and a friend found this chart years ago explaining all the Jewish holidays and fast days through that joke, with one very important addition: TREES.

And since today was Tu B’Shvat, I found myself thinking that this would be a great day to share it.

Enjoy :)) and hag sameach!! <333

Pomegranates can have many important meanings.

“Ashkenazi Jews don’t actually have Levantine genetic ancestry” has been floating around lately among naïve and conspiracy minded anti-Zionists, a problematic claim that undermines actually correct anti-Zionist principles and defense of Palestinian rights. This claim is

absolutely irrelevant, as “blood” originating on the “soil” does not grant anyone any right to an ethnostate on any land. Using area-native ethnicity to justify discrimination and mass killing is bad when it’s Yamato Japanese discriminating against Korean, Mainland Chinese, and Taiwanese minorities in Japan and it’s bad when it’s Celtic-Germanic descent Brits oppressing Celtic-Germanic descent Irish who they’re genetically undifferentiatable from. It was bad when it was Hutus killing Tutsis and it was bad when it was the Khmer Rouge killing Chinese and Vietnamese Cambodians. The actions of the Israeli state in immiserating and slaughtering non-Jewish Palestinians would be equally harmful and wrong if the diaspora had never happened and every Israeli could trace their resident lineage in an unbroken line back to the time of the Second Temple, because it is bad to destroy people’s homes, burn their crops, imprison them, and kill them.

incorrect, at least according to current scientific consensus. Most genetic studies seem to indicate that Ashkenazim are of majority European descent and also have ancestry in the Levant, that is: the Ashkenazi population had some Levantine founders and there’s been significant amounts of intermarriage over the hundreds and hundreds of years of the diaspora into Southern Europe and from there across Central and Eastern Europe.

irrelevant again because even if, through a combination of conversions, adoptions, intermarriage, and adulterous and out of wedlock pairings between Jews and local gentiles, the diasporic European Jewish population had become completely genetically indistinguishable from local gentiles, those Jews would still have been the children of Israel. They still would have learned to read the Torah and celebrate its festivals. They still would have learned, from their families and communities in an unbroken line, to pray “Sh’ma Yisrael, Adonai eloheinu, Adonai echad” (Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one) as the rabbinic sages of Roman Judea observed in the Talmud that they were commanded to do. They still would have spoken languages with Hebrew and Aramaic elements, and they still would have written them with letters recognizable in the Dead Sea Scrolls. They still would have had the same interests, affirmed daily and yearly, in the land that their people left so many hundreds of years ago.

One formulation of the claim is “Israel bans direct to consumer genetic testing because it shows that (Ashkenazi) Jews don’t have Middle Eastern ancestry”. The Israeli government does ban DTC genetic testing as part of a genetic information privacy and nondiscrimination law passed in 2000, before companies like 23andMe existed. DNA testing for ancestry can be interpreted and presented many ways, and the ancestry breakdowns given by DTC GT companies just do not correspond to the question “where, how, and through what migrations did this population originate?”.

Once again, Zionism is not bad because people residing in places their ancestors are not from is bad. That is fine. Zionism is bad because from its beginning the Zionist project has been one of violent dispossession and because that violent dispossession continues in and through this very present moment.

I am proud of being a Jew and I would never change myself but it really does get exhausting to exist in online spaces where antisemitic rhetoric is so abundant. I was joking around with my friend and the subject of Dashcon came up. I remembered that there was some footage from it so I went to go pull it up. Here’s the first result.

[For anyone unable to read it, the description of the video says “Re-upload due to Jews”]

And it’s just like. I’m not going to let it ruin my night, especially considering how mild this comment is (relative to some of the others I’ve seen or had directed at me) but it’s so fucking frustrating to have this happen. To be suddenly reminded of how people regard me, regard my family, and regard all of my Jewish siblings out there in the world.

Once again thinking about Miriam, and the act of dancing as celebration, as connection with G-d, as resistance and freedom.

How Miriam is considered less seriously as her brother, as if there isn't the divine in joy, as if laughing and singing and holding hands while we dance isn't the greatest thanks we can give for our freedom. As if faith is equal to misery, as if a story celebrating our freedom should be remembered only for how we were subjected, and not for the way the first thing we did was dance. As if dancing isn't as necessary to our survival as water in the desert.

People are posting actual Hitler quotes on TikTok and garnering 74k likes. The comments are 90% antisemitic.

How is this happening? I reported this for hate speech but TikTok found no violations.

This isn’t about Israel or Palestine. This is about Jews around the world being told that their actual genocide was justified.

How are we here again?

Okay yeah. I absolutely see your point... I think for me it be the spider rain.

But. Going to a Synagogue and the Rabbi goes "This is Schlomo. He's our Bouncer" and it is a kangaroo with locks and a kippa and someone goes "but that is a kangaroo" "Yes he is but he can literally bounce on any antisemite coming in here. Kick them out. Break a rib while at it. Any further question?" like. I think we deserve that.

and everyone who is sad and jewish gets to hold a quokka.

lmfao- wait tf do you mean sPIDER RAIN-

in any just world they would have made another adaptation of “yentl the yeshiva boy” by Isaac bashevis singer and it would have answered the essential question: what if there was a movie with a bisexual threesome as rich and toxic as “y tu mamá también” but this time. In Yiddish?

oh no i am being observed

Just to clarify a few things:

-> If you are not someone who can hold empathy and compassion for both Palestinians and Israelis, hostages and refugees, you are fundamentally not someone who shares my values. All life has dignity and is important. Every death is the end of an entire world.

-> If you are willing to ignore or excuse one form of oppression or bigotry to ostensibly fight another, you are not seeking liberation; you are merely trying to change who gets to rule. Advocacy is not a zero-sum game, and anyone telling you it is is trying to get you to excuse something you shouldn't.

-> Jews have the same intrinsic right to return to our ancestral lands as any other colonized or displaced people. This does not give us the right to bring those same harms down on others. The treatment of Palestinians by the Israeli state has been abhorrent (which is not to somehow say that Palestinian leadership is blameless in the ongoing conflict, they are far from it) and it must stop. There is land enough for all.

-> Ben-Gvir, Netanyahu, and the rest of the Kahanist mamzerim in their coalition, represent a Theocratic Fascist movement within Israeli politics. They need to be removed, before they take irrevocable control of the Israeli state and make the worst half-truths and misinformation of the western "Free Palestine" movement a reality.

-> Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and the Islamic Republic represent an extant, overtly genocidal, Theocratic Fascist threat to all who value women, life, and freedom. They brutalize their own people to maintain power, and anyone cheering them on simply because they oppose the US and Israel is a fool at best.

-> In philosophical sense, I do not support the creation of a Palestinian state, but I do not support the existence of the Israeli state either. I don't support any state because the modern paradigm of the nation-state is an integral part of why this conflict has been ongoing for nearly a century. Fuck "globalizing the intifada"; globalize the democratic confederalist revolution. Open every border, end every government.

I do however live in reality, and recognize that this is (probably) not going to happen in my lifetime. A two-state solution is not perfect, but if it is achievable, it must be achieved. Any change to the status quo that ends the killing must be pursued. We cannot afford to sacrifice something better because it is not perfect.

-> If your primary source of news is social media posts and screenshots, I could not possibly care less about your opinion.

-> If you are not Jewish and are attempting to explain why something is not antisemitic, I will probably just block you. This is tumblr, you are not one of my students, and it's not worth my time.

-> If this all makes me some sort of Filthy Zionist or (((Globalist))) (some of y'all are using them so interchangeably these days, it's hard to keep up) to you, please go find another corner of the web to piss yourself in.

Leaving Avis here- I do t know, inspiration hit and I kinda like this one!

But this quote hits deep to be honest. Antisemitism is on the rise,. Jewish actors/actresses are being erased from the scene by non Jewish actors who play roles of Jewish characters. It’s disappointing…

Yes, Patti LuPone is absolutely amazing as Avis Amberg, I LOVE her in this character! Avis is Iconic!!!!!

But still, there are so many women who are actually Jewish, like Avis. They weren’t given a chance to break through in this roll. Even when they’d be able to add an aspect to the character that a non jewish actress wouldn’t be able to do. There are aspects to Avis’s character that could have been enhanced by the personal experiences of Jewish women. (Sorry- wording reads a little weird here. I am not words today)

The character of Avis faces death threats, hate crimes, being looked over in the acting industry, being left behind and abandoned by society due to physical features that were not in her control. Also for being a part of a minority ethnic group.

Jewish women have struggled with these things relentlessly for generations. Jewish women have wrested antisemitism and hate and have been targeted because of their Jewish heritage.

Now I do know that Patti has experience with hate, abuse and bullying in the industry. I acknowledge her struggle and the pain it causes her. It’s valid! No one should be treated in such terrible ways! People need to respect others no matter what!

Yet she hasn’t faced what many Jewish women have gone through for generations.

Sadly, we carry so much generational trauma from such acts of pure violence.

Many women in my community have first hand experience with all of this. Go up to any woman/girl at any synagogue and they’ll have at least one story about an act of antisemitic hate, violate, comment, joke, micro aggressions- made towards them.

Patti hasn’t experienced these acts of hate in this specific situation and circumstance. She can’t. Because she’s not a Jewish woman.

Jewish women shouldn’t be facing violence or hate. No one should.

We can start making the entertainment industry more accessible to Jewish people, by giving Jewish people the spotlight for the characters who are written as being Jews!

i hope my religion is a thing of the past in a thousand years. i hope the history survives, so people can learn about what once was and how the world came to be the way it is. i hope they write wonderfully inaccurate historical fiction because they can’t fathom how serious it really was, how little people knew or how evil they were to each other. i hope a student in a thousand years tells a friend about my religion and some of the ideas are strange (official supernaturalism! can you imagine?) and some are nice (it sounds fun, singing so much every week. i hope they had fun. maybe i’ll learn one of the songs.) and some are terrible (and some of them really believed it, i mean they really believed there was a metaphysical difference between them.). i hope a book about my religious institution survives and someone is very excited to translate it because it’s such a special window into a particular moment, and i hope there are words that don’t translate directly into any modern language because they name sufferings that nobody has experienced for centuries. i hope in a thousand years there is neither jew nor greek, neither bond nor lawfully free, neither man nor woman. i hope nobody misses it. i won’t.
