That's so fucked up that people just choose to hate different people for no reason. Racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, ableist, antisemitic and what fucked up other things exist in this world. Why would you do it? Hate people for their awful actions not for something they can't change. If any of this bothers you so much just fucking close your eyes and go past and shut the fuck up don't do shit be better be a good person.

The fact that Judaism is trending because of both the wave of bomb threats on synagogues and Bradley Cooper's Antisemitism Adventure (his huge fake prosthetic nose, and him basically stealing the story from a Jewish man) is so infuriating and so exhaustingly typical.
The fact that I see Judaism trending on Tumblr and immediately think "oh no. Something Bad is happening to us." We're never trending cause it's fucking good. I never get to be excited, it's just cold dread.
The fact that Antisemitism is getting worse everyday and the only ones who ever talk about it are other Jews. The fact that no one else fucking cares. The only ones who support us are other Jews. Even when gentiles talk about Nazis or white supremacists they don't want to help us. We're just their prop, the canary in the coal mine and the perfect victim.
The fact that everyone's uncomfortable with Jews still being here. Reminding them of things they'd rather forget.
The fact that it'd be easier for them if we were all dead. Then they could tell stories about our people, dressed in offensive caricatures, without us making a fuss.

So is your position that Palestinian death and suffering is fake, or deserved/their own fault, or a regrettable necessity for securing Israeli safety? Or some combination of the three?
Oh man, this is a really weird ask to get out of nowhere on a blog that posts about Jewish stuff a lot.
Hang on, weird wasn’t the word I was looking for. What is it, it’s right on the tip of my tongue…
Antisemitic! That’s it. This is a really antisemitic ask to send to a Jewish blog. It is antisemitic to ask a Jew to give/defend their opinion on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict out of nowhere with no other context. If you want to have a conversation, that’s fine, but an anonymous ask out of nowhere is not how you start one in good faith.
Given that the ask is antisemitic, I refuse to answer. I’ve been posting on this blog about the conflict A LOT over the last five months. If you really want my opinion, read through and figure it out for yourself. I’ll give you a start, here’s what I said as soon as I could form words after the attack. If you’re in a rush, I’d recommend the 5th paragraph down.
And Anon? Go fuck yourself.

Anyway
i am begging you to understand that the news that is most heavily circulated amongst average (not leftist, not right wing, just general not-super-political) Jewish Americans very selectively covers JUST the Actively Antisemitic images/moments from pro-Palestine rallies. If there are three people there holding signs conflating Israel and Jews, or calling for a second shoah, THAT is what is most prevalent in Jewish news. Zionist news sources don’t WANT Jews to be pro-Palestine, so they make it seem as though pro-Palestine individuals ARE antisemitic, even though the antisemitic individuals are fringe extremists using this as an excuse to air their hatred for Jews

A woman has to be decent to be human.
Like these are the worst women he can think of? Oh, right, they still have to be "fit." Interesting.

A huge underlying view among many terfs that frustrates me beyond belief is Islamophobia. I have seen countless of posts from Terfs using the stories of abused Muslim women as an excuse to say the whole religion is oppressive and sexist. I have seen so many posts about how hijabs and burkas are oppressive and women who choose to wear them are working against women’s rights. They often imply that most of, if not all, Muslim men are violent in the name of religion. They fail to make the obvious connection between the fact that there’s a huge difference between fascist governments using Islam as an excuse to oppress women and actual Islam and Muslims. Ofc women should have the right to chose if they want to be religious, if they want to cover up, if they want to take on a submissive role. No one is denying that. The reasons those rights are taken from women, often in the Middle East (which is what terfs often reference), is the fault of the government, not the religion. Yeah, there are abusive men who will use Islam as an excuse for their actions. Just like there are Christian men who will use Christianity as an excuse for their actions. Same goes for pretty much all religions. People covering up their abuse under the guise of religion is not limited to just Islam. It happens in most religions. It’s happened pretty much since religion started.
It’s just so ignorant and out of touch and you know they have never spoken to a Muslim person. If they did, they would know Muslims are the same as Christians and Jews and atheists and so on. It’s not some evil curse. It’s a religion that mainly focuses on peace. And to demonize it, using the horrors women have faced as an excuse is just so messed up. Most people on the internet haven’t realized there’s a big difference between a religion and people using that religion as a coverup for their shitty actions. The existence of governments using Islam to persecute women is because of bad people, not Islam. Terfs just want one group of people to be declared bad so they can blame everything on them. They claim to want to protect all women, and then condemn an entire religion. They talk about horrid treatment of women and blame religion rather than the perpetrators. It’s a very common belief a lot of them hold and I never see it mentioned and it just really pisses me off.

The number of people who just don't fucking care about jewish people dying en mass is so disgusting and maddening. Can you believe I'm expected to just go about my day knowing a huge chunk of the population has such blatant disregard for human life as long as those lives are jews and not go insane
