To put it very bluntly.

You will always make a better impact helping people who need it than trying to hurt people you think deserve it.

We’ve been hearing report after report of antisemitism at encampment protests, video after video, photo after photo, documenting people being physically assaulted, threatened, having antisemitic vitriol yelled at them.

And then people have the audacity to say that we’re accusing people of antisemitism for “criticizing israel.” What an absolute barrel of horse shit

It’s maddening to find out that the scholar who first developed the idea that “Zionism is Settler Colonialism”, Fayez Sayegh, was a member of the Syrian Nazi Party during and immediately after the Holocaust, was an active participant in the Red Scare, using it to demonize Israel as a manifestation of a Global Communist Threat™️ through the height of the Cold War (true to his Nazi roots, accusing Israel of Judeo-Bolshevism) before switching to a Colonialism narrative when Post-Colonialism came in vogue in the 60s. And yet, the people I hear parroting the talking points of this anti-Communist, Ultranationalist Fascist-turned-scholar are the people who are constantly talking about how Liberal Progressives aren’t Communist enough and actually enemies because “Liberals will always side with Fascists”. Maddening.

If you’ve ever noticed how the “Zionism = Settler Colonialism” narrative eerily shares the core components of the far right’s Replacement Theory (that there are 1. Jews 2. conspiring to invade a given place and 3. replace the population with Jews), this is why; it’s because the idea that Zionism is Settler Colonialism came from a literal Nazi.

It is very literally Nazi propaganda.

The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.

Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”

I think this sums up the difference between liberal and radical feminism better than anything else

use your brain. EDIT: the gaslighting in the comments is something else. “These protests are different because they are against the state and the police” (yes, that must be why they are being celebrated and encouraged by the regimes with the worst human rights records in the world), “the protestors in these pictures weren’t students and the protests weren’t student organized” (wrong and wrong), “they protested against the war with Hitler because they didn’t know about the Holocaust” (blatantly wrong), “these protests were way smaller” (wrong). Just anything and everything to keep moving the goalposts because god forbid you listen to Jews when we tell you that the literal organizers of these so-called “pro-Palestine, anti-war” protests are terrorizing Jewish students.

There’s a huge mistake we make when debating prostitution. It should always be talked about as a class issue. Prostitution is humiliation, exploitation and abuse for women as a class of people. It doesn’t matter if some girl claims she enjoys selling her nudes on OnlyFans, for example - what matters is how it affects females as a whole. I’m sick of anecdotal arguments being used for an issue that destroys so many lives.

the gaslighting is so bad these college students could literally get decked out tomorrow in full nazi gear complete with the salute and swastikas and people would still be like "no no protesting against a genocide is not antisemitic guys this is just antizionism" I mean it's already bad enough with the "go back to poland" screamed at jewish students and calls for intifada but even with more explicit visual evidence people would still try to deny it and pretend it's just peace anti-war protests 🤦‍♀️

The absolute irony and hypocrisy of Columbia protesters telling Jews to 'go back to Europe' when 1) in living memory Europe was profoundly unsafe for the Jews because 6 million of them were murdered in the Holocaust and their communities were destroyed (not to mention all the antisemitism that came before and after; they were never welcomed there or considered European) and 2) a significant portion of the US population are descendants of European settler colonists. I mean... You first. If you truly believe it is a viable solution to fix all the problems of settler colonialism, you should 'go back to Europe'. But you never say that about yourselves. Interesting. Funny how that works.

I can’t wait until being gay is no longer seen as a cool counterculture thing OR as something to be reviled, but is just a normal part of life.

a lot of yall seem to be falling for the “critiquing israel = antisemitism” rhetoric. the protests at columbia univ. were not antisemitic. calling for an end to palestinian genocide and displacement is not antisemitic. beyond that, universities have a long and crucial history as being the home of protesting & organizing social critique. violence & silencing of human rights protestors should scare everyone. if these wealthy ass, historical institutions aren’t protected when fighting for justice, none of us will be

#not sure if it happened at columbia or another university but a jewish girl literally got stabbed in the eye #thankfully she didn't lose her eye #antisemitism

I saw a post saying "If porn and prostitution were empowering men would be doing it" and while I absolutely agree I would add:

"If porn and prostitution were empowering men would be fighting to prevent women from doing it at all"
