"they are just protesting genocide and war" THEY STABBED A JEWISH STUDENT. THEY ARE LITERALLY HARASSING THEM NONE STOP. THEY ARE TELLING JEWISH STUDENTS THAT THEY SHOULD BE DEAD. Jewish students all over America have been shown once and once again that people want them dead because they are jews. I don't fucking want this to get violent. I don't want this to escalate. Bring in swat or anything truly won't make it safer. but to say that they were "only protests" is disgusting. Just fucking say you hate jews.

#they are telling American Jews to “go back to Poland anyone acting like these are not racist hate rallies hates Jews #fuck off if you think that this type of treatment is okay with simply a lukewarm condemnation #antisemitism

Leftists have gotten real comfortable calling for violence/death to all zionists, and it really makes me wonder 1. how they define zionism and 2. whether they're remotely aware of how much of the world's Jewish population that includes. Based on the rhetoric I've seen condemned on here, I'm going to go with the very most basic definition of supporting a Jewish homeland in the Levant.

85% of the global Jewish population is in the U.S. or Israel. I'm assuming that any Israeli Jew who hasn't emigrated is fair game, so that's about 45% of all Jews there. According to Pew's most recent data, 82% of American Jews say that caring about Israel is "essential or important" to their Jewish identity.

Even if we just assume that every Jew in the world outside these two countries is staunchly anti-zionist (they're not), that's fully 80% of world jewry supporting Israel to some degree.

When you call for all zionists to die, you are calling for the death of 80% of Jews. Over 12 million people. That is the death toll of two holocaust.

I am appalled by the violence in Gaza. I support a ceasefire with release of hostages. I support self-determination and freedom of movement for Palestinians. I am deeply critical of the Israeli government. But I support a Jewish state. If that's the bar for deserving to die, you're a lot less pro-Jew than you think.

Why do we try to act like Antisemitism is an exclusive foible of the political Right, anyway? Buddy, I have witnessed the ideological intersection of “kill the bourgeoisie” and “Jews control the banks and media” - it’s not a pretty picture!

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?”

they really do view it as "i cant be antisemitic bc then ill be a bad person" instead of "i should help jews" huh? for how long will they continue to center themselves when we are the ones fearing for our lives?

also i would like to mention to any goy reading this that this post is not about israel, nor did i mention anything related to israel in it. if you really do think antizionism isnt antisemitism, here you have a great opportunity to prove it by NOT BRINGING ISRAEL UP!

Weird Questions

If I’m somewhere where there are Educational Personell (Museum Docents, Q&A zookeepers, Park Rangers, Public School Teachers, Professors etc.) I have a question I like to ask them:

“What’s the weirdest question someone’s ever asked you?”

I say weird and not Dumb becuase even buckwild questions can have important answers, but whoever I ask it too usually has to think about it for a bit, then comes out with something different every time.  And I love every single answer becuase it just warms my heart out there to know people are trying to understand the world a bit better, no matter how limited thier starting point. A collection of favorites so far:

Art Museum Host: “A man once asked me “Can you help me find someone and if you can’t can you find someone who can?”  Which I always thought would be a great title for an Artwork.”

Park Ranger: “I’m so glad the Japanese couple asked me “Is bear spray like mosquito spray and it goes on the jacket, or on the bear?” instead of just trying it.”

Zookeeper: “A man once pointed at the live red-tailed hawk I had out for a demo and asked me “Aren’t those extinct?” We eventually figured out he meant “Endangered” but I hear that question every time I see a redtail now.”

Primary School Teacher: “About every other year a student asks me what part of the school I sleep in at night, because clearly I live here.  I tell them I sleep under the bleachers in the gym but it’s actually the Nurse’s office.”

Professor: “A student asked me “So how do I use this in a conversation when my aunt is wine-drunk at thanksgiving and being a jerk again?” Which honestly is a fair question about philosophy and really changed how I teach rhetoric.”

Natural History Docent: “A woman once asked me what the difference between a Million and a Billion was.  Kinda pieced together that she’d just left her church for her safety, and was learning about Earth’s Natural History for the first time. Nobody else was there because it had been snowing, so I walked her through the Hall Of Time and answered as many questions as I could.  She was bewildered, but really trying. It always struck me as a really brave thing, to try to understand all of that while fresh out of a dangerous situation. I hope it helped.”

Forensic Scientist:  “People ask me how to commit murder all the time, but if you really hate someone, stealing thier identity causes much more suffering and is a lot harder to get caught at. A guy did ask me if working at a body farm was creepy and did not like that it was ok until you learned that decayed human fingers are a deer’s favorite midwinter snack.”

Zookeeper: “People call us becuase they think they’ve found an escaped animal all the time, or they think they’re neighbor’s husky is a wolf. One guy asked me if his dog was part hyena because it had spots. But that one guy really did have a Tiger in his toolshed that one time so we try to take them seriously.”

Meteorologist: “A guy once emailed me about how hard you’d have to fan a tornado to make it start spinning in the other direction and included a picture of him holding up a box fan at an approaching tornado.  We printed it out for the work fridge.”

Park Ranger: “I was giving a talk on the Yellowstone Supervolcano and a guy asked if, after it errupted, the earth would be ‘hollowed out’.  I suppose I was just relieved that he understand that the earth isn’t flat.”

Primarcy Shcool teacher: “A student once asked me where she could sell her bones online so she could by a dog.  Which? Same.”

Natural History Docent: “A guy asked us ‘If I had a time machine, and managed to kill and cook a T-Rex, what would it have tasted like?’ and every paleontologist on staff deciced to take him seriously.  They did research to learn about fat distribution, and read up on culinary science to learn what flavors meat, even did chemical analysis on the bones.  They concluded that it’d be Tough (no evidence of juicy fat pockets), bitter (carnivores tend to taste foul) and would probably kill him, because heavy metals travel up the food chain and T-Rex accumulated a lot of the cadmium that was in the dirt in the late cretaceous.  Wrote him a letter with our findings and he sent us back a drawing of him and his buddies cooking a T-Rex over a fire and all of them throwing up and dying, and it’s my favorite drawing in the whole world.”
