Has anyone else noticed the weird appropriation of Yiddish for specifically anti-zionist spaces? It makes me deeply uncomfortable.

#its gross #why are you all so fucking weird about jews #why cant you be normal #these same people are like “jews are a diaspora people so thats why we learn yiddish' #without thinking or asking where the diaspora is from #because you cant have a diaspora without a point of origin..... #and then they still deny jews are indigenous to israel #so they dont care about most mizrahi jews who literally live there and have forever #but then they kind of have this weird fascination with yemeni jewish culture #and like exoticize (?) Mizrahi jews #but not if youre from israel then youre immoral and evil

Jewish culture is that your Jewish friends ask if you are Ashkenazi or Mizrahi (or both)

and jewish culture is not knowing (me)

Being non Ashkenazi in a country that isn’t Israel sucks so badly. I’m Mizrachi-Sephardi (I know it refers to Minhag at its core, but my family’s Israeli so we interpret these things more through a cultural lens), but mostly Mizrachi. The country I live in has barely any Mizrachi or Sephardi Beitei Knesset in it, and there’s also not much of a Jewish culture outside of Ashkenazi stuff. I want to connect to my heritage, but I can’t even go to the place that my Mizrachi side was built up, or we will literally get executed. I’m so tired of everything being so Ashkie centric in the diaspora, obviously there’s nothing wrong with Ashkenazi stuff but I just wish there was more of a movement for non Ashkie Jewish cultures. I don’t know, it just sucks that right now I can’t really feel comfortable in my community

reading another book about the mista’arvim/musta’ribin this time about their heroic work spying for Israel before and during the 1948 war and i am once again fucking blown away by the ingenuity and bravery of Jews who managed to disguise themselves as the people who’d hated them as outcasts for centuries and returned to the places they’d escaped from all a Jewish state that wasn’t yet in existence and was at that point made up of people who saw them as second class and wanted to erase them of the very Arabness they were embracing to try and win their country’s freedom. i literally cannot fathom that level of manic devotion and determination. truly no one is doing it like mizrahim

#jumblr #jewish things #israel #im not mizrahi by heritage but by adoption #and i cannot imagine anything else #mizrahim are the source of israel’s best music and food and culture #and an essential part of its very existence #the fucking AUDACITY of the world outside to call israelis white colonists #and erase the existence of half its population #mizrahi-ness is woven into inherently into my jewish self and that of everyone who gave it to me #and i just #cannot believe mizrahim are simply not real to the bulk of the world and certainly the people talking about israel

Person who uses SWANA/MENA voice: here’s why mizrahim is an inherently colonialist homogenizing term

#Mizrahi effectively means ‘Jewish person of SWANA descent’ so tell me why some I saw reblog Bloglikeanegyptian #and The Invention of Mizrahim #is now reblogging posts about SWANA culture #I thought combining the individual cultures of the Maghreb Persia and Northern Africa was evil?

And people keep trying to justify Israel's existence on the basis that it is somehow a safe place for the preservation of Jewish people and their culture and not only is that an awful argument for establishing a Settler Colonist Apartheid State but it's not even true. Like the state is politically and economically dominated by Ashkenazi Jews from Northern Europe and their descendants. While not as severely mistreated as Palestinians, there is still a significant disparity between the European and Non-European Jews in terms of income and education. Non-European Jews are still regularly subject to interpersonal bigotry (hell earlier this year there was a news story about a viral video where Ashkenazi girls in a Purim made a skit mocking the Mizrahi) and Israel government policies towards non-Ashkenazi migrants have done severe damage to their social structure and cultural traditions. Not to mention the fact that the whole reason why many Mizrahi migrated in the first place was to escape the violence caused by European Jews committing atrocities in their name, tearing communities apart as neighbours that had peacefully co-existed for centuries found themselves on opposite sides of this new ethno-religious conflict

There have even been attempts in Israeli history at the forceful assimilation or even biological reduction of non-European Jews; the kidnapping and adoption of Yemeni Jewish children in the 1950s is significant example of the former while the forced contraception of Beta Israeli (Ethiopean Jewish migrants) with the explicit intention of reducing their population's birth rate is an example of the latter. There's also very clear favouritism when it comes to recent converts; white Afrikaner converts are given the right of Aliyah while Nigerian Igbos are not. Like the fact of the matter is that Israel's fundamental nature is as a European Settler Colony, incredibly racist not only towards the indigenous Palestinians but the many Non-European Jews it claims to represent. It's an outpost of Western Imperialism, not a haven for the Jewish people. If it was ever meant to be the latter than it has failed miserably
