pixeljade: #it IS very much a complex issue and I feel like saying that has been pissing off a lot of folks on both sides #one fact i would add to the table is that the current actions against palestine DO constitute a genocide by definition #its a word i hear pro-Israel people get very upset by because they think it is inherently comparing this to the holocaust #but its not. some people DO and thats its own discussion. but calling it a “genocide” is simply accurate and undeniable

Speaking as someone who was that pro-Israel person in her teens and very early 20s, the reactions you're describing are 800% cognitive dissonance freak outs. Most of these people, like me, received either directly or indirectly from their Elders in the Jewish community a very trauma-induced and deeply emotional information about the history of this situation, which boils down to: "They tried to kill us all once and they didn't now we finally have returned to the Promised Land, the only place we have to shield ourselves against It Happening Again. Israel's detractors hate that Jews can defend themselves now, and if any of them, including the Palestinians, were to have their way, they'd see us all dead. We must defend ourselves at all costs, and not let anyone ever put us in existential danger as a people ever again."

And then to have some rando 19 year old who knows jack shit about your or your community or your community's trauma to get up in your face and start screaming at you about genocide? It's only going to trigger that intergenerational trauma, and cause the party being screamed at to dig deeper into their defensive, cognitive-dissonance fueled response. Which, if we were to boil that response down to a thought process, looks like "This person hates me and all Jews. They think we're a hive mind who don't deserve to live. Thank G-d for Israel."

What's complex, is that not everything in that trauma response is wrong, and not everything the dumbass 19 yo who has no interest in unpacking their own learned anti-Semitism was wrong.

Israel's actions towards Palestinian Arabs since 1948 does fit several definitions of genocide and/or ethnic cleansing. And many of the Westerners who scream about it the loudest are fairly openly anti-Semitic.

Now, as someone with big Holocaust intergenerational trauma in her family, I am sympathetic to the Jewish kid in this scenario. But cognitive dissonance is just that: the domain of a child. Adults understand that cognitive dissonance is a little voice in our head telling us "Hey comrade our discomfort with this is a little much. Maybe this is a learning opportunity?"

I mean, that's what I did. But it's difficult. Its uncomfortable, and that scares people. It's much easier to believe that "They call it the Naqba because they hate us and think our survival and access to national self-determination is a disaster,"* than it is to understand that "They call it the Naqba because it was the near total dispossession and ethnic cleansing of Palestinian Arab populations from their generational homes and properties."

And again, everything I'm saying here is a result of my journey from a hardcore Zionist-in-the-contemporary-sense child (though always left in terms of domestic US Politics), to a grown Holocaust historian who understands that Israel is no better and no worse than all the other nation states (for new readers, I understand the nation-state as a political entity, the logical end point of which is genocide and/or ethnic cleansing), and openly criticizes it on those grounds.

*A rabbi in a youth group I belonged to told me this almost verbatim when I was 15. And when you're 15 and somebody tells you they love you you're gonna believe them.

anotha day, anotha american pro pali dolla 🤺

what have we covered up until now about the American Main Character Syndrome regarding the middle east conflict and Israel?

US taxes do not subsidize the israeli average life, the US ✨invests✨ in mostly private in the military (IDF, as it sees the importance of having at least one democratic allay in such a dangerous region.

most of the US taxes, stay in the US.

Today on the agenda:

🚨🥁🚨🥁🚨

“THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT WAS CHOSEN BY THE ISRAELI PEOPLE, SO THOSE FEW EXTREMISTS DO REFLECT ON THE ISRAELI SOCIETY”

long story short? the israeli voting system is very different than the one in the US.

🔥SHOCKING FACT🔥

the prime minister is not directly chosen by the people. citizens choose a party, so he should be the leader (“number one”) of that party, then the party has to be the largest (most seats) party of the winning bloc and the leader should be able to build a coalition of at least 61 from the 120 seats in the knesset, which is basically the israeli parliament.

so that’s how dear netanyahu, as the leader for the past 20 years of the largest party in the usually winning right bloc (the right usually wins with a 60%+- 😒) has been the prime minister. not because people vote for him.

and that my self centered friends, is without mentioning the horrific political crisis israel has been going through since 2018, where no one was able to build a coalition up until 2022. then in 2022 came another crisis when fanatics netanyahu did business with to form a coalition (and for personal issues that are for a completely different day) came to cash in with passing a crazy law that gives the government the ability to overpower the supreme court & the public went C R A Z Y. after almost a year of manifesting against the law and the extremists flooding the knesset , in comes ✨hamas✨ seizing the moment for what they’ve been waiting and training for for months.

TLDR: netanyahu was never specifically chosen by the people.

TrUe Americans support the beautiful nation of Israel 🇺🇸❤️🇮🇱💙🤍💪

[hilacopter]

everything the state of Israel has done and that leftists claim it has done has been done by the USA tenfold. but you don't hear people call to wipe America off the map, do you? you don't hear people cheering for the deaths of Americans, do you? I wonder why that is.

Then there are these perverts. Some hindutvadi was talking about applying the 'Israeli' model to Kashmir.

[alostwanderernotfound]

This information comes from old spoken Jewish tradition about the importance of wearing Tallits (or prayer shawls/Jewish prayer blankets) and tassels (Tzitzit)

“The phrase more kosher than tzitzit" is a Yiddish metaphoric expression (כשר'ער ווי ציצית).”

What does this mean and why do people say it? A true kosher tallit from Israel is said to hold many essential powers and some of the benefits are only for those with Jewish blood. All people that follow Judaism, were born Jewish, converted to Judaism at one point in their life, have any amount of Jewish blood in their body, and those married to Jewish people are supposed to own a tallit and wear tassels.

Why?

1. General protection: The Tallit can serve as an emergency blanket. It can be used to give someone warmth.

2. It also is said it has properties that can protect you from electromagnetic fields. This is a type of radiation anyone can be exposed to depending upon what is happening to the Earth in our solar system. If the sun for any reason has even a momentary increase in activity on the sun’s surface, it can expose us to excess radiation.

3. This can also reduce static electricity shocking you.

4. The parts of the blanket that are shiny like metal (which can be seen by looking at the back of the blanket when holding it up to a source of light) are important sections of the blanket as well. If you obtain a real tallit, It is said this material is conductive enough to be used as conductive fabric. This means in an emergency you can cut off these parts of the blanket and use them in the same way as you would electrical wires for electronics. This material is able to be stretched and conduct electricity from one end to the other end. This is why it is said they can be blankets made so thin, but they can keep you very warm.

5. They have antibacterial and anti allergen properties to make you feel better when you wear it.

6. Tassels are said to hold special power for Jewish people. All people that are Jewish or even friends to Jewish people were told to wear tassels on their clothes and/or wear a tallit/prayer blanket at all times. This can even mean cutting off the tassels on a tallit/prayer blanket and attaching them to you and your family’s belongings. Kids that didn’t wear clothing with them on could even have them attached to their backpacks. If you pray, are Jewish by blood, and live outside of Israel it is said this is even more important to practice. Direct help and intervention from Jewish spiritual power cannot enter your city or state without many people wearing or decorating the environment with real Jewish tassels. This is because if a Jewish spiritual entity gets hurt attempting to help you, their soul can temporarily enter a tassel for their protection. Different tassels are for different ranks of Jewish spiritual help. Good spirits are the only ones said to be able to use it. The entire blanket is able to be used for them and each section corresponds to a different type of spirit being able to stay with you. This can also be used so a good Jewish spirit can watch over you. Without a tassel nearby and a Jewish spirit is hurt, much more detailed and costly rituals using specialized knowledge must be performed to help them get back to a form where they can help us and be safe. Burning of tassels and eventually the entire blanket is associated with specific rituals to let these stored good spirits out of the blanket and back in our world in a more helpful form. Without tassels it is said outside of Israel you may not be able to get direct intervention to help with any problems by MANY Jewish entities. Even the moths will eat nonkosher clothes for your protection when you live and practice faith in Israel. There are many changes seen in spiritual life and directly in nature you will not see the benefits of without following many Jewish practices. Cities that do not follow Jewish law, but have Jewish people are associated with chaos coming from violation of Jewish law. This is because Jewish protection arises from not only prayer, but requires action from us everyday to stay safe. Living outside of Israel means you cannot benefit from other people practicing the faith around you to create a safe space- you and your community must be an active participant in your own safety at all times.

Stay safe.

Hello everyone, I am Salam from Gaza🇵🇸. I am 24 years old. I am a mother of two innocent children🥺.

My campaign verified by 90ghost and northgazaupdate🍉

We have been living in a war of genocide for ten months. We lost all the necessities of life after we were displaced from our home. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by the occupation💔.

I feel sad for my children who were deprived of their rights to shelter, safe food, and clean drink, so I had to ask for help😔

I hope you will help me by donating and sharing the link so that I can provide for my children’s needs. And move them to safety as soon as the crossings are opened🙏🥺🇵🇸.

Please donate and share to save us🙏🍉🇵🇸

I think there's been a frightening amount of people on both sides of the Israel/Palestine conflict spectrum treating the whole thing like they're picking a football team. I think part of this issue stems from many people now electing to get their news from Instagram and Tiktok, and another part is how difficult it is to find reliable news articles that aren't funded by a party that stands to gain something from swaying international opinion.

I think most people's hearts are in the right place, being against human suffering and killing.

But I also think that far too many people have been swept up in "being on the right side of history" that they're not viewing this issue through the nuanced lens it really deserves.

From what I personally have read, this has been the fairest explanation (and the easiest for me to understand) of the conflict with viewpoints from both Palestinian and Israeli people.

My conclusion is that this is ultimately so very tragic because people are suffering on account of their governments' decisions. I don't think either Palestine or Israel (as governments, not people) are correct. I think the only correct thing is to stop the violence, and to love thy neighbor, and to care about one another. But I also have no idea how to get there, and am certainly not equipped in any sort of diplomatic or militaristic way to even begin to have anything to say about it.

I hope all the calling for ceasefire affects change. I hope all the donations and aid get through and save lives.

How can Israel say that Palestinians are all the same when not even all Jews are the same? We are not a monolithic society. We are diverse, we deserve respect, love, belonging, joy and safety despite our differences. Anything less is unethical, inequitable and straight up evil.

I could easily say that we should’ve let Hilter kill all the Jews off. But that is ignorant to history and to out of my character. Hitler didn’t just kill Jews, he killed blacks and foreigners too. Also Not all Jews are white or agree with what Israel is doing.

So again, I ask, How can Israel say that Palestinians are all the same when not even all Jews are the same? We are not a monolithic society. We are diverse, we deserve respect, love, belonging, joy and safety despite our differences. Anything less is unethical, inequitable and straight up evil.

I figure since they like repeating history, let them read repeating words!

i don’t know where every Leftist™️ got the idea that Israel is the Capitol to Palestine’s District 12 (something I have heard an actual person say), but please remember that these are real people. Every single one. They are not action figures you get to play with until dinner. They are not characters in a story created for your entertainment. I really thought the era of THG comparisons was over, but I was wrong! I was so fucking naive! So please: stop comparing Israel & Palestine to literal works of fiction.

And if you are insistent on using this analogy, please consider that maybe, just maybe: you are the Capitol. The wealthy, industrialized west is the Capitol. Because right now you get to play Monday morning quarterback to a war in a country you’ll never set foot in while I pray every night my childhood friends make it home to see their baby brother graduate high school next year. You are not the victim of this dystopia, you are the spectator.

edit: I’ve now seen ATLA comparisons in which Israel is the Fire Nation, to which I say shut the fuck up shut all the fucking way up

So very slowly but surely peopleare starting to get a clue about Israel's Genocide of Palestinians.

It's taken way the mother fuck too god damned embarrassingly hell damningly long, but the fucking narrative is finally swapping.

It's still very much a large Pro-Genocide problem, but fuck me if it ain't nice seeing minorities support minorities again. The sheer bigotry against Palestine is overwhelmingly telling, we're still very much a demonstrably racist fucking country and it's no wonder Dump has a chance of winning in so many minds.

Ya'll'd approve of any genocide so long as the right people do it. That's america. That's democrats and republicans. This country is filled with people who refuse to watch videos in 2024 and consider dead children propaganda.

It's sad as hell how long it took people to understand

Genocide Bad No Matter Who.
