Blud, this would still be relevant right now if you'd posted it in the 19th century 💀

if your leftism doesn’t include fighting antisemitism then I’m really not interested in your leftism

I feel physically ill after I read about antisemitic incidents on here.

When I was living in Berlin, seeing the plaques to murdered families in the sidewalk every few houses, and bulletholes left in buildings, the facade scarring and shadows ever-present while survivors and descendants pass you on the street -- you could feel it. This is living history, just 80 years ago-- and yet we have droves of soul-rotted people doing this century's round of Jew-hate. They think they're righteous.

Nothing is fun to me now. I saw some fucker on a video game this week who had named himself Jewgasser and everyone in the server was encouraging it like it was hilarious. I can't engage in hobbies without being affronted daily. Some woman had named herself HollieCaust.

I feel alone and I feel like I'm going crazy because I love Jewish people, and I feel constantly disgusted and scared at how hostile an environment for Jews people constantly cultivate. Why would anyone do that? Once you start to see it, the hatred is everywhere. Everyone is inundated with it. The most horrific thing that has ever occurred is treated as a throwaway joke. I cannot stand it. It hurts so badly. It's not about me, I'm not Jewish, and I don't mean to make anything about me. I just want to not feel alone like this for another moment.

Just saw fantastic four and I loved it but two hours later the thing that sticks with me the most is Ben Grimm — a Jewish character written by a Jewish creator and played by a Jewish actor — choosing to spend his last night on earth in his nice Shabbat clothes at a Shul with a giant Star of David on the wall. In a widely distributed mainstream Disney film.

Something within me was healed tonight I think.

learning Levantine Arabic is fucking hard man smh, sun and moon letters? Broken-ass plurals? Unreal

Wouldn't surprise me. There's a running joke in Israel about petah tikvah not existing. Germany does the same for Bielefeld and the US has that for the state of Wyoming

was there a gimmick blog on here that would be posts about petah tikva and tag them all as “unreality” or am i going insane

I could go on forever but my point is that a lot of leftists hold this cognitively dissonant belief system that requires them to believe that no one would ever act selfishly or out of irrational hatred for others if only all their needs were met, while simultaneously blaming all the world's problems on a class of people who have all their needs met and yet continue to perpetuate harm. And in order to make these two discordant sets of beliefs work together, it requires believing that "The Rich" are fundamentally, genetically different than Normal Working People, and behave differently and more selfishly than Normal Working People do or would when given that same power. And when one starts believing that The Elites are fundamentally, secretly inhuman and different than Normal Working People, it always, always circles around to blaming The Jews.

Not another queer person from the west romanticizing ussr🚬 Babe, you would be put in jail or forcefully "cured". It was not a paradise of equality, it was a prison of nations where everyone was prosecuted if they didn't fit the ideology (spoiler: queer people didn't🙂)

THANK YOU!

I'm an Ashkenazi Jew who looks white as can be. My family came to the US from Poland. 'Go back to Poland' indeed. I'm like the poster boy for the antizionists who would scream that I'm a white colonizer if I ever set foot in Israel. (I haven't, but they say so anyway of course lol)

It's so frustrating to be classified as white when white Americans aren't contemplating their future if the US decides to ethnically cleanse them. White Americans aren't experiencing the most hate crimes of any group in the US, and they aren't watching with existential concern as the two main political parties in the US become increasingly anti-them.

I called myself white until, a few weeks after October 7th, a fellow university student made up vile accusations against me and sent them to my friends behind my back because they knew I was a Jew who didn't think Israel warranted dissolution.

Because it was on that day I realized that at the end of the day, I wasn't an American to that person. I wasn't a fellow student, I wasn't a person who attended the celebration of them becoming the LGBTQ officer of the club we were in, I wasn't a person even worth speaking to or being honest about, and I wasn't white.

I was a Jew.

And to them, nothing else mattered.

trying to explain to goyim that white-passing jews who say "i'm not white i'm jewish" nine times out of ten aren't denying their white privilege but saying because of their jewishness they've never felt white or been viewed as white the way white goyim are

"empowering women by sending katy perry to space for 2 minutes" shut the fuck up. samantha cristoforetti was the first female commander of the international space station and she became an astronaut because of star trek. and there is a real chance she is a kirk/spock shipper

The Good Place Cactus Meme

Antizionists: Good news. I was able to obtain some good faith criticism of Israel.

Zionists: Is it actually Death to Jews?

Antizionists: I don't understand.

Zionists: I want to see good faith criticism of Israel. Is that what you have, or is it Death To Jews?

Antizionists: I have the criticism.

Zionists: You're sure? You have good faith criticism and not Death To Jews?

Antizionists: That is correct, I have good faith criticism of Israel. I do not have Death To Jews.

Zionists: Excellent! Please give me the criticism.

Antizionists: Here you go. DEATH TO JEWS.

Seeing these stats made me feel like the paranoia I've had my whole life was justified. This isn't even considering the rate increase in 2025 yet. It's not that we have a "victim complex," it's the fact we are consistently gaslit in regards to our worries while used as political pawns. I despise when people use antisemitism as a shield from their own ignorant/hateful ways of thinking, yet we need to understand antisemitism is a shapeshifting virus and actually listen to our Jewish friends and family.

Reading People Love Dead Jews by Dara Horn, and this line hits particularly hard right now:

“The Soviet Union this pioneered a versatile gaslighting slogan, which it later spread through its client states in the developing world and which remained popular today: it was not antisemitic, merely anti Zionist. (In the process of not being antisemitic and merely anti Zionist, the regime managed to persecute, imprison, torture and murder thousands of Jews.) “

Reading this open source article on how Jewish tauma and distress is treated by non-Jews made things click for me and helped me realize what happened and why I felt ill when I expressed my fears of antisemitism in my city and globally during a situation that took place roughly a year ago. I highly recommend reading it through.

This is an article about the article:

Today is Trump's Matteotti moment.

101 years ago to the day, Giacomo Matteotti for delivering a speech to the Italian Parliament denouncing the fraud and violence the fascists used to win the 1924 election. For that, Mussolini's fascist blackshirts kidnapped and murdered him. Instead of denying it, Mussolini brazenly took responsibility for the murder, announcing he'd created the climate of violence which allowed for it to happen, and warned that Fascism would bring stability to Italy no matter the cost. This is the moment Italian democracy gave way to the world's first fascist dictatorship, but not its last.

Now, a hundred years on, Donald Trump is deploying active duty soldiers to use force against American civilians on American soil, in flagrant violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. He is calling for the arrest of California governor Gavin Newsom, and recklessly escalating the situation over the objections of municipal and state authorities. Trump is deliberately aggravating the situation by opening the response with National Guardsmen, instead of letting state and city leadership handle it (how states' rights of them).

This is an unprecedented act of tyranny. It is illegal for the US military to engage in law enforcement actions on American soil. This is a transparent attempt to ratchet up the violence to justify more repression against the American people.

This is Trump's own effort to use violence to shift the world's oldest democracy into a new autocratic dictatorship. Like Italy a century ago, America stands at an inflection point. Is the rule of law a farce and Trump can, as he wishes to, 'have troops everywhere' to oppress us? Or are we a constitutional republic based on laws and civil liberties?

I can’t believe leftists are unironically restoring the one drop rule but progressive. Utterly unreal timeline we live in

on the topic of tiktok antisemitism being out of control, there’s currently a trend where people are posting their ancestry dna results and anyone with any amount of jewish dna is getting harassed.

like this was what the comments looked like on a video of someone who - and i cannot stress this enough - had 0.1% ashkenazi jewish dna:

to the point where the creator - who again, IS NOT JEWISH - had to say this:

so apparently if you think you’re safe, think again 🫠

Watching the messy Elon-Trump breakup is genuinely hilarious. It’s great because no matter who loses, we win!

I’m glad I was wrong. I once predicted that their partnership was such a match made in hell that we’d never be lucky enough for them to split, but it looks like I was being too cynical for once
