as a Jew I find the antisemitic trope of the Wandering Jew endlessly fascinating and there’s a version of it that lives rent free in my head that I can’t get out
because yes, we have been cursed—not by G-d, but by man; not for anything we’ve done, but for libel against us—and the curse antisemites have forced on us is that we must wander forever. we don’t get a home, here or there. we aren’t allowed to put down roots in diaspora, but we aren’t allowed to return either; regardless of which we do, the nations try to drive us out and impose their sentence on us: you must wander some more
there is a deconstructed version of the Wandering Jew that I want to reclaim, not as a testament to our sin but as a witness to the nations’, how they’ve treated the wanderer in their midst. on some level, a witness to how the nations treat all wanderers: Jew, Roma, bedouin. but ultimately, a testament to the libel & persecution we as Jews have endured & persevere through
this Wandering Jew is a weary old immortal forced to wander by hatred that goes before him through the nations, who has seen those nations come and go, empires rise and fall, and bears witness to our plight through every one, waiting for injustice to be righted so he can finally rest

It's never antizionism not antisemitism.
These are comments in Taika Waititi's comment sections. All he did was sign a letter for the hostages to be released. He has not said anything in support of Israel's actions.
Taika Waititi is a Jewish man.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As you can see from the first picture, he is being told that he can no longer make movies sharing Māori experiences because he signed a letter for hostages to he released. A Māori man is being told not to share Māori experiences because he signed a letter for hostages to be released and because he's Jewish.
This is sickening. It's disgusting. It's trying to erase his indigenous experiences as a Māori all because he's Jewish.
All the other comments are also equally gross.

Shoutout to those who can't get rid of chametz this year.
Those who can't clean as thoroughly as they'd like, either from sharing a living space with others or just not having the energy or ability to do so.
Those whose safe foods aren't kosher for passover.
This has been such a stressful year, and I know for me cleaning is exhausting when I'm at my best (and this year I Am Not)
So if you're stressed and anxious about cleaning, struggling with the idea of losing access to safe foods for a week, experiencing the anxiety inertia of "oh no why haven't I done anything yet and why can't I bring myself to", or just don't have the energy needed to clean, know that you're not alone 💛

goyim will literally only ever mention mizrahim or sephardim to further their own goals. they turn us into a monolith and scream "look how horrible! these jews were hurt by their own people! by zionism" while completely ignoring the fact that even when ashkenazim hurt us, it was nowhere near as awful as the things goyim did to us. but they don't care about that, do they? no, it's always gotta be about jewish infighting (which to be clear, does exist in some capacity but it is not as severe as they make it). they never talk about how mizarahim were hurt by Arabs or how sephardim were hurt by the Spanish. they begin with using us as tools and end before they ever treat us like humans.
ashkenazim are seen as vile, conniving, manipulative. sephardim and mizrahim are seen as too stupid to realize that they're totally being manipulated by the big bad ashkenazim! goyim love to ignore the fact that we are people and are capable of learning and developing our own opinions on jewish history. we are not being manipulated, we are simply making choices that you dont like and you dont understand the difference.
goyim want us to be weaker, so they will do everything they can to separate us. just to be clear some ashkenazim do have anti sephardic or mizrahic biases and it is good to call those out. its important that we hold each other accountable and grow together. however, at the end of the day we are one people. we will always have more in common with each other than we do with goyim. it doesnt matter how much they try to weaponize our lives and twist our stories, they can't change shit about us.

so if people didn't hear what happened in calgary, essentially:
Tumblr media
yes, that is a nazi salute. yes, that is the leader of Iran.
what is not visible in this photo is the pro-palestine protestors he was standing with. in the videos that circulated, you can see a blonde woman in a keffiyeh walk up to him, say something, and then walk away. there are people with keffiyehs and pro-palestine signs all around him.
they are the people who concern me the most. they claim to be pro palestine, pro justice and peace and equality. a man, standing in their protest, did a nazi salute, and none of them stopped him.
i'm a jew and the descendant of holocaust survivors and victims. if someone did a nazi salute in my vicinity and it was safe to do so, i would go bat shit on them.
so why did no one stop him?
i feel like is is emblematic of how antisemitism spreads among pro-palestine leftists. they don't set out to be antisemitic. they don't want to be antisemitic because its wrong to be prejudiced. but the antisemitism begins to slip through the cracks. they usually don't know enough about jewish people, jewish history, or antisemitism in general to counter it. the effect is slow, but damning. eventually these antisemitic symbols lose their meaning, become less important. so even in the face of something this overt, people don't stop it.
all i can say is that its truly disgusting that people turned the very real, longstanding oppression of palestinians by the israeli state into an excuse to spread violent, hateful, and harmful rhetoric at the expense of jewish people around the world.
and i would also like to say: my grandmother grew up in communist poland, raised by a holocaust survivor mother who had lost her own mother and sisters, likely to the nazi death squads east of Poland, the Einsatzgruppen, as they were trying to flee. Her father may have never met her, having died in the polish people's army around the same time she was born. all her life she wanted to come to canada, because it was safe and bountiful. she brought her family here, and i've always felt lucky for it. now we have people throwing up nazi salutes in our streets to celebrate the attempted bombing of our family members.
antisemitism is a plague.

Next the pro palestinians need to boycott the zionist...*checks notes*...uh...Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment... for firing Riddhi Patel! She was just standing up for Palestine and demanding a ceasefire in Gaza from her local town officials in Bakersfield, CA. At the threat of murdering them in their house.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
People can read the full article here
Jesus fucking Christ. People need to touch grass.
As you said anon, she literally threatened to people in their own house. And threatening that is a crime. That's why they were fired. It kinda ties back into the whole thing of pro pals screaming that people are getting fired for supporting Palestine when it turns out they were fired for threats or antisemitism.
They really said "fuck poor people, people of colour and the enviroment" with their call for boycott.
Also I fucking predicted this shit months ago. I knew that other groups would now get affected, not just jews. Not that the boycott will probably do anything but it's the principle of the matter. Like I predicted that people's "activism" would bleed from being antisemitic to being anti other groups.

I attended a seminar today on building community resilience to radicalization to violence. The lecture was really informative and covered a wide spectrum of different types of extremism, including political, gender motivated, racial, etc. I don't feel the need to share all of the information here, because the focus was primarily on radicalization in my state specifically, but I did want to share this specific part on identifying indicators that someone is on the path to, if not fully, radicalized:

If you see any of these in your community, call it out!
This is what has been proven to lead to mass attacks against marginalized groups.
If you see something, say something!

I've written before that the Iranian attack on Israel is pretty unprecedented, and I was thinking in terms of the history of this specific conflict, but it's actually true on a bigger scale as well.
They launched at least 331 airborne weapons that Israel has intercepted as well, more if you take into account what was intercepted by other countries. Most of the weapons were launched out of Iran itself, but some were launched by Iran's proxies from the territories of Yemen and Syria.
Now, the suicide drones? Take about 8 hours to make it from Iran to Israel. The cruise missiles? Around 4 hours. And the ballistic missiles? Those are the ones that would cause the most damage and would be the hardest to intercept, they actually leave the Earth's atmosphere, travel in outer space and re-enter right before they strike, and they move at such a speed that they make it from Iran to Israel within just 10 minutes. So imagine what it means, that Iran launched all of these weapons at different times, from different locations, but coordinated everything to make sure they'd all hit Israel at roughly the same time. That was done in order to tax our defence systems, to maximize how much would get through and succeed in hurting Israelis. Despite that, 100% of the drones were intercepted, as were 100% of the cruise missiles, and 99% of the ballistic missiles. Only one person (a 7 year old Muslim Bedouine girl, Amin al-Houssani, was injured, please keep her in your thoughts) was directly hurt (though over 60 more people were indirectly harmed).
Defence systems usually aim for a success rate of between 80 to 90% interceptions, so the fact that this MASSIVE and UNPRECEDENTED attack was launched, designed to penetrate all of the defence systems that could be employed against it for maximal damage, yet Israel and the coalition that came together (including Arab countries) to stop Iran's attack managed to make sure that less than 1% got in? Unbelievable. The attack was unprecedented, and so was the defence. I can tell you, even some of the Israelis who worked on developing our defence systems for years felt the success rate had actually exceeded their expectations. That said, the attack was bigger than anyone in Israel thought it would be, too.
Just to really drive home what a ballistic missile is like, this is just the engine carrying part of this ballistic missile, which was intercepted over the Dead Sea (Iran launched at least 110 at Israel, 99% of which were successfully intercepted):
Tumblr media
But even intercepted airborne weapons cause damage. Little Amina was hit by debris from an interception. I'm sharing a vid, cut from the news (it's just for visuals, so I didn't translate it), which shows one of the few hits inside Israel (filmed by Israeli Muslim Arab Bedouins, you can hear one of them calling in panic to his friend, Ramadan), and then the debris that the IDF collected and removed by trucks, to give you an idea of the size of these pieces of weapons, falling from the sky, after they had flown across 1,600 kilometers (~1000 miles):
Bottom line, it's no surprise that the Israeli Chief of Staff made it clear that there will be an Israeli response. We don't know yet what kind of a response it would be, or when it will take place, but there will be one. This kind of attack from Iran just can't be met with silence. If it were, that would imply acceptance of the massive and unprecedented nature of the attack, which in themselves constitute evidence that Iran very much did intend to cause Israel real damage.
Tumblr media
That means if Israel accepts the attack with a shrug of, "hey, we inetrcepted it, and it only cost us 5 billion shekels, so we can just look the other way," then next time? Iran will launch an even bigger attack, to try and get past this remarkable defence. And there will be a next Iranian attack, no matter what excuse they use in order to launch it.
Tumblr media
In related news, the Iranian-funded terrorist organization Hezbollah has launched two attack drones at Israel today, which did not set off the warning alarms, crashed in Israeli territory, caused a fire, and wounded at least 3 people.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, this is a reminder that while the Islamist regime of Iran has had a lot of victims since its inception in 1979, no one has suffered at its hands more than the Iranian People. It's no wonder that there are signs of Israel support in Iran, even under that oppressive dictatorship. Here's a graffiti seen in Tehran:

Jumblr, important question.
Do you like matzah?
I know to the more sane ones among us the very notion that matzah is tasty or good may sound preposterous. And yet, somehow, such baffling humans, who enjoy burnt-tasting dried flour-water paste exist.
So yeah I was just wondering :)
I mean like, the regular kind. Not fancy egg matzah or whatever.
