If you’re not Jewish/Muslim/Israeli/Palestinian and you are talking publicly in any way about the i/p conflict you should probably do your research about dog whistles and take that info seriously. It shouldn’t be up to affected groups to educate you while actively being triggered and traumatized.
It’s not fun to constantly worry if your friends secretly hate you or if they are sliding into antisemitic spaces or are ok with genocide as long is against the right group of people.
You aren’t free of antisemitism or Islamophobia just because you don’t sit around thinking, “I hate Jews/Muslims/Arabs.” This shit is structural. I don’t care how many Jews or Muslims or Arabs you know. If you haven’t actively deconstructed your own bias against these groups, you’re probably still hateful whether you realize it or not.

On the status of my “The Antisemitism Experiment” tag:
So, when something is a straight up experience that someone had, I reblog it and add it to the queue.
When it’s something that’s full of misinformation that I need to fact check and provide sources for, I often put it in drafts until I have the emotional capacity to deal with it. I have never even used the drafts function before starting this experiment. Everything in my drafts is from the experiment.
My Queue currently has 23 items.
Tumblr media
My Drafts currently have 828 items.
Tumblr media
Not even including the amount of antisemitic stuff I’ve already posted to the queue and removed from drafts, I want all the people who have sent me inbox messages or posted about experiences or felt like I’m not including enough in my queue: I know.
I see you. The amount of insane misinformation we must combat is so unfair. The amount of grace under pressure and distress we must show in order for others to take our suffering seriously is unfair. The amount of misinformation that people uncritically take as fact is so harmful and unfair.
And that’s all JUST the stuff I think is bad enough to be queued. The amount of insane bullshit I see every day is sickening and inexplicable.
This is why we Jews are so desperately asking for IRL visible support from our friends. We know how much antisemitic bullshit is out there. And the fact that non-Jews aren’t talking about it regularly makes us wonder if it’s because you believe it and agree with it.
It’s too ever present. It’s too widespread. And if you haven’t even privately reached out to your Jewish friends to check in or acknowledge their pain proactively, you’re part of the problem. If you’ve actively distanced yourself from Jewish friends, you’ve done more damage than you’ll ever know. And it’s something that should haunt you for a lifetime. It’s something you should learn from. It’s something you need to make amends for.
It’s never too late to reach out to a Jew you care about. It’s never too late to apologize to a Jew you’ve abandoned and to do better by them. Nobody acting in good faith is asking you to stop caring about Palestinian life. All we are asking is for you to care about Jews. Because we are people too.

Just a thought, if goyim are only hearing themselves described as goyim with tones of disgust and disdain…perhaps coming to the conclusion that “goy” is a hateful term is the wrong conclusion.
Perhaps you’ve only heard it used negatively because you are being a genuinely hateful antisemite and the Jews who encounter you are actually disgusted by your consistent antisemitic behavior and rhetoric.
Just some food for thought.

So, just to be clear, I made a post specifically explaining that I hear this phrase as a call for my death personally. I hear this phrase as a call for the death of all Jews to be murdered and denied burial and to be shoved into the sea and provided examples as of why. And I received this in my inbox less than a minute later.
I also explained explicitly that I believe Palestinian people have a right to use this phrase and reclaim it from terrorists who took it from them. I explained that my ultimate goal is peace for Palestinians and for Jews. I explained that I wish for Palestinians to live as full and equal citizens in their homeland. I explained that anything that does not contribute to this goal of peace is causing active harm to Jews as well as deepening the conflict going on right now.
Given that information, you chose to send me this.
So you want me to die? You want to kill me, a Jewish person who does not live in and has never been to Israel? You want to kill all Jews?
Hmmm…it sounds like only one of us actually supports genocide, and it sure isn’t me.
Next time you want to tell me that you want me dead and want to kill all Jewish people, you can just say that. There’s no need to pretend you’re helping Palestinians at the same time.
PS: to all the goyim who replied to my recent posts that they support Jews and abhor antisemitism—now would be a good time to show support.
Jews cannot continue to receive this kind of targeted harassment in the name of people who claim to support peace. Standing up to antisemitism means loudly and clearly denouncing this. And if you don’t do so, I’m just gonna assume you stand with @pata-hikari, who wants me dead.
I have made it abundantly clear that I don’t support the violent response to the 10/7 attacks. I have made it abundantly clear I want freedom and equality for Palestinians. It’s time for y’all to make it abundantly clear that you understand that this message was a death threat. That people are using a phrase coined to promote hope and peace and liberation to threaten (another) mass Jewish slaughter. Do you care about me or not? Stop fence sitting or choosing sides. Fight for peace or stop pretending to be my friend and ally. An ally doesn’t stand idly by while someone they claim to support gets death threats.
Again, I don’t want ANY violence. I don’t want anyone to attack this person. What I want is to stop having to deal with this shit every day. What I want is for people to be as loud in their opposition to antisemitism as they are for Palestinian self determination. What I want is to stop having to be regarded as a good guy or a bad guy. I just want to be a fucking person and I want PEACE ONLY.

You gotta love Jews more than you hate Nazis.
You've gotta love Jews more than you hate Nazis.
You've gotta love trans folks more than you hate TERFs.
You've gotta love your unhoused neighbors more than you hate the billionaires.
You've gotta love immigrants more than you hate ICE.
You've gotta love queer kids more than you hate christian fundamentalists.
You've gotta love fat people more than you hate the diet industry.
You've gotta love disabled people more than you hate the insurance companies.
You've gotta love your fellow humans more than you hate the worst that humanity has to offer. You don't have to like every person you're fighting for, and you sure as hell don't have to give up your righteous anger, but hate is ultimately corrosive.
You've gotta love.

If non-Palestinian goyim leftist activists would just condemn antisemitism then it would really free up Jewish leftists from all the time we have to spend proving that it exists. And then we’d have more time and energy to spend fighting for Palestinian liberation WITH YOU instead of desperately trying to combat a constant barrage of hate all by ourselves.
It is so emotionally draining to have to be the one to shout “HEY. PEOPLE ARE ATTACKING ME SO PLEASE JUST HELP BY SAYING THAT YOU THINK ITS WRONG THEYRE DOING THAT. SHAME THEM A LITTLE BIT!” All day every day.
Because we know you won’t do it. You’ve demonstrated every day since 10/7 that you won’t do it. I cannot fathom why except that you hate Jews or are scared of letting your other friends know that you like Jews.
Just, like, practice what you preach my dudes.

For some reason this one really wrecked me, more than most. What a complete disregard for culture and peace.
Yiddish is a language of diaspora Jews desperately clinging to a shred of their heritage while being oppressed in Western Europe. It is the language of European Jews forced to live in shtetls. It is a language that predates modern Israel and the resurrection of Hebrew. It is the language of the diaspora in which antisemites and anti-zionists so desperately want Jews to remain. It is a language of the oppressed. It is a language of loss. It is a language of exclusion. It is a language of community. Of Jews finding each other and building community in the face of oppression.
Sholem Aleichem was a Yiddish author and playwright. His works inspired Fiddler on the Roof, a musical about literal Jewish expulsion from Russia after continued violent assault.
Additionally, the related Hebrew greeting (Shalom aleichem) means, “peace be upon you”)
Also, it nearly exact to the traditional Arabic greeting “As-salamu alaykum” which means the exact same thing. And is used by Muslims as well as Arab Jews who were expelled by Muslim countries between 1948 and 1972.
Finally, shalom aleichem is a Jewish liturgical song—one of my favorites—and it explicitly calls on G-d and angels to bring peace.
It’s used to ring in Shabbat
I cannot put into words how deeply offensive this is to me personally. I am so wounded by this.

Just reblogged your post about how we're out here desperately asking people to just say three simple words 'antisemitism is bad' because I had a recent exchange with a 'friend' asking the same who responded with this -
Tumblr media
She then said she 'needs to step back from this situation and from [me]'
Losing so many friends to this kind of behavior is driving me insane. I feel broken. Hope you're doing okay.
This sucks and this person sucks. I’m luckily doing pretty ok. I still get waves of unadulterated panic when I see dog whistles from people I care about. I have to wonder if they’re coming from a place of ignorance (which is fine with me, actually. Ignorance, not willful ignorance, can always be fixed by knowledge), or if a secret but long-held hatred is beginning to emerge.
I’ve had to have a similar conversation with a few friends. Not identical. But basically saying, “Hey. I’m really sorry to come off controlling or aggressive, but that thing you said/posted/shared was kind of alarming to me. It made me feel unsafe and unsure how you feel towards me.”
Luckily, most of the people I spoke with about this (there weren’t that many. Many people aren’t sharing anything about either side at all, which I think is also fine. People should be allowed to craft politics free spaces for themselves and their sanity), took my words as I intended. A couple used the opportunity to learn more about antisemitism and Jewish history. I’m very grateful for that.
On the one hand, I’m a big believer in boundless empathy and giving people the benefit of the doubt. On the other, I cannot imagine telling a friend telling me that I’ve done something that scared them and made them feel unsafe and responding with an accusation of any kind. I certainly cannot imagine responding that I wanted to abandon the person I harmed.
I also can’t imagine seeing a group of people under threat, being told I am contributing to that threat by someone directly affected by it, and not caring enough to correct my actions.
I want to say that my instinct is to tell you that this person is not your friend and doesn’t deserve your time or care. But I am also Jewish at this time, and I know exactly where you are emotionally. It’s so scary to lose people from your life. And it’s really scary to lose them on terms where they are left feeling in negative ways toward Jews in this political climate. Not only can severing ties leave us completely isolated, but we also have to carry the weight of feeling responsible for leaving someone with a resentment toward Jews and worry that this will cause more harm to our very small community.
I want to say that whether or not you drop this person from your life, you are totally justified in your stance. Their antisemitism is not your fault. Not all goyim respond to correction so callously. This person’s continued antisemitism will not be your fault if you sever ties with them.
In many ways, kind, firm, and measured words are the single most important thing that anyone can do for the Jewish community worldwide right now. Repeatedly affirming that supporting Palestinian liberation and self determination does not exist at odds with antisemitism. It is possible to care for two parties at once, and everyone should do so.
Sending love and hope your way. It’s a scary time.
PS check out the post I made just before this one.

Once again, please stop doing Nazi shit then gaslighting us about it.
Re: Red Cross not visiting Israeli hostages. Red Cross has been visiting and working as diligently as possible towards getting hostages released. It is a difficult situation and dangerous for everyone.
Source: I work for the Red Cross
That’s literally a lie as multiple hostages have said otherwise. Just because the organisation claims to do this, doesn’t mean they did…
Your Source: trust me bro
Well, I’m an Israeli who does her research. The Red Cross only got involved recently with transportation of the hostages- and they have not been handling it well either:
1. The hostages did not receive proper health care while held hostage for almost 2 months.
The Red Cross didn’t even contact them at all until the recent exchange deal!
-Many were rushed to surgery as soon as they were returned to Israel .
-An elderly woman has been airlifted to hospital, and she is currently in critical condition.
2.Violent mobs are attacking those transportation cars while they’re delivering the hostages.
3. Hamas terrorists continued to threaten the hostages as they were exchanged: they posed them and told them to wave / smile.
They filmed it all and made a spectacle out of it.
4. Unlike the deal’s terms, families were separated: fathers and uncles left behind, mothers separated from their children…
5.Women were tested for rape / pregnancy for the first time in the Israeli hospitals.
6. Hospitals were used by Hamas to hold hostages - where were the Red Cross?? How did this happen under their watch?
The Red Cross has failed these people time and time again.
I could go on but I think I’ve made my point.
Did you even do a simple google search or do you hate Jews/ Israelis that much?
Once again, don’t believe Hamas’ propaganda.

This war will end. But I will never forget how you all behaved during this time. Never.
Calling for the destruction of a country is hateful and wrong, and it disproportionately occurs against Israel.
When Russia attacked Ukraine, was there a massive movement to wipe Russia off the map?
When Iran was killing girls for not wearing a hijab, was there a massive movement to dismantle the entire country of Iran?
While China systemically commits genocide against its Uyghur population, is there a massive movement to get rid of China?
Even if, and this is a huge if, the accusations against Israel were true, there is no justification for trying to wipe Israel off the map.
There just isn't.
And, considering Israel is the only Jewish state in the world based on the concept of a Jewish self-determination in our indigenous homeland, such calls are also antisemitic.

I think people who aren’t Jewish don’t have any of the tools and training necessary to understand the depth and impact of the affect of 2,000 years of consistent hatred on a people.
People say they understand generational trauma, but they never discuss this specific aspect of it.
The Holocaust is a heinous and uniquely awful global event where Jewish people were the primary targets explicitly because of their Judaism, and that absolutely is a huge factor in Jewish generational trauma today. However, it is absolutely not the root of Jewish generational trauma by a long shot.
For 2,000+ years, Jews endured violence and discrimination without ever being accepted in any society anywhere. The best our ancestors were ever able to hope for was conditional acceptance as human beings (but never equal citizens) under threat of revocation and a government that kept their antisemitic laws and policies to a minimum.
I don’t even know if there’s a way to put into words the long-lasting impact that such a long history of abuse, mistreatment, dehumanization, ethnic cleansing, and genocide can have on a culture at large, let alone a lineage of descendants.
I am not a person who subscribes to persecution-focused Judaism (which is valid, just not my style), where everything must be framed in terms of Jewish persecution and survival—because I believe Judaism to be deeply joyous and serene, and I believe our actual faith and community and love and spirit transcends the horrors we have suffered. I don’t want to be thinking about how lucky we are to have survived all the time, because I just want to focus on how lucky I am to be alive now—to be Jewish now, to experience this wonderful community now.
If it were not such dire circumstances for Jews at this moment in history, I would not say the following aloud, because I don’t want this beautiful culture associated constantly with this degree of pain, but:
Being Jewish is culturally, practically/logistically, philosophically, historically, and (in the case of those whose Jewish lineage goes back a generation* or more) even physically shaped by the expectation and historical fact of our repeated abuse, pain, and loss.
Our childhoods have conversations and revelations that other cultures do not have as a result of not only the realization that people do, and always have, despised, tortured, and murdered us��but also the intimate knowledge of the means and reasons for this hatred and comprehensive data of what happened to both our people and our abusers afterwards.
We know how we survived, what excuses they gave for hating us, very often how many souls we lost, and too often that we have missed the people who are now lost to time and history.
I certainly hope that not every Jewish person had to be raised in the following manner, but I and every Jewish person I know was raised to know the words and actions that tend to precede our deaths and have at least a half formulated if not fully detailed plan for how to leave our entire lives behind and to escape to somewhere unknown. This is not a hypothetical situation to us. This is something that every generation of Jews has actually either had the lived experience of actually doing or have heard firsthand from a parent or grandparent who has done it. Because that is how constant goyische hatred of us has been and continues to be.
I was raised my entire life to understand that, at any given time, people who claim to love me, be my friends or otherwise care for me or even just treat me as human may suddenly turn into abusers who wish me dead.
This was always communicated to me with the encouragement of:
“…and love people anyway, regardless of whether or not they are Jewish. Fill your life with people of all backgrounds and love them. You cannot expect them to always be there for you or to even be trustworthy, but you can love them as deeply as your heart and soul allow. Never shun a community. Never retreat from the world. Never be the one to flee first or close off your heart or to abandon trust first. Just know that it is possible that in your lifetime—or your children or grandchildren’s lifetime—you will lose all of it. Do not ever become so complacent and trusting of your current home that you do not know how to leave it all behind for the sake of your and your family’s lives. Do not ever become so complacent and trusting in your sense of safety and community that you do not know how to cope with the loss of every ounce of it.”
People who frame Jewish oppression and pain and trauma as historical are fundamentally ignorant of the Jewish lives experience. Jewish people are many things—joyous, loving, devoted to education and community, funny, kind, and spiritual.
But we are also trauma, embodied. We are trauma and loss and pain made flesh. I think that is sometimes why other cultures cannot bear to look at us. They cannot bear to see what they have made us—raw and exposed nerves forced to touch the world around us while our souls scream in agony, broken legs forced to walk the earth, the ghosts of our ancestors’ dreams dressed up as the other (non-Jewish) people around us and told if we don’t behave just as expected, we will be punished.
Non-Jews seem incapable of understanding that our daily lived experience is that of an abused dog. Kicked and beaten and starved and left out in the cold repeatedly. We are given commands we don’t know how to follow. And if ever we do finally lash out and bite back, those same abusers call us the problem and threaten to put us down. You treat us as with disdain and then mock us when we cower at behaviors that echo the worst of what you’ve done to us.
We are not at home anywhere. Unlike other cultures exiled, we have never made a lasting home anywhere even after our initial exiles.
It drives me mad when people accuse Jews of having a superiority complex because of the term “chosen people,” when I’ve never met a Jew who interprets this as a phrase meant to make us superior to anyone.
Israel — the biblical name for G-d’s chosen people — means “to struggle with G-d.” It is for this that we are chosen. We are the ones chosen to struggle—with our faith, our place in the world, and with G-d themself.
What hurts most, to me, about the goyische ignorance of Judaism and Jewish culture is that we have learned. Over the past 2000+ years, we have learned. We have adapted. We have seen how we are treated repeatedly by those who claim to love us, by those who are indifferent to us, and by those who despise us enough to attempt to exterminate us. We teach our children how to live in this world while walking a tightrope of acceptance yet still have hearts open enough not to shun the rest of the world out of fear.
But in those same 2000+ years, people clearly have never learned about us. Your ignorance is itself a knife you use to stab us, even now.
After 2,000+ years of hate and murder and continuously inflicting trauma, those outside our community have never thought to actually strive to understand or, goodness forbid, listen to us. To gain any insight into how we think or feel or practice our faith. To care even the smallest bit about how we move through and experience the world.
You’ve had 2,000+ years of bad examples and evidence of what you’ve done to us. And instead of ever taking a single opportunity to break the cycle of trauma Jews experience, you always choose to perpetuate it en masse.
And then you have the audacity to cast us as inherently violent. You have the gall to cast our trauma and oppression as historical and long since past.
The best you have ever offered is assurance that you are not personally inclined to engage in or support violence against us right now. But you have no sense ownership of your role in our continuing trauma. It’s so familiar to you that you can’t even see it anymore. It’s like asking you to point out the air that surrounds us or like asking a fish to point out water.
My experience is, G-d-willing, not universal. But it is not even remotely uncommon.
There is a reason that out of the 15.2 million Jews in the world, 7 million of them live in Israel and 6 million live in the United States and only 2.2 million live scattered throughout the rest of the world. There is a reason there are only 15.2 million Jews in the world after all this time. It’s not because the people in any other location took care of us or loved us or welcomed us into their lives in any kind of meaningful way. It’s because you have consistently done the opposite.
And yes, gentile reader, I do mean you. It was your parents and grandparents who passed this hatred on to you. And to dismantle antisemitism, you must be willing to confront that. You must be willing to look at the people you love and trust most in the world, the ones you look up to most. And you must see that they posses flaws and have done harm. To acknowledge this does not mean you must see these same people as evil monsters. Jews do not see these people as evil monsters.
Again, to be Jewish is to struggle with G-d. It is to argue with the divine in the pursuit of greater goodness and kindness in the world. Jews believe that all things come from G-d, including evil things. And we, of course, do not believe that makes G-d evil. And that therein lies our struggle as a people. The struggle we are chosen to unravel.
I am begging you with all my heart: this moment is yet another opportunity to look at why you feel so comfortable condemning and vilifying the Jews with which you disagree—whether that is all of us or just the ones you call Zionists or Israelis—and choose to learn about us instead. Please. Take this opportunity to do what your ancestors never did.
Look upon the people who shaped you. Understand how they educated you in all the ways to torture my people. And love them anyway. Love them anyway, while committing to undoing the harm they’ve cause and while rejecting the antisemitism they taught you.
Love them like Jewish parents teach Jewish children to love the goyim around us. Love them like the Jewish faith teaches us to love G-d. Struggle with holding the love of these people in your heart while you simultaneously reject the hatred—and yes, it is hatred—that they taught you. Struggle with this as Jews struggle with G-d. Allow that struggle to change you. Allow that struggle to make you kinder. Allow that struggle to change you into someone who can love with clear eyes and an inquisitive mind.
Because if you cannot do that, then you are committing violence against me. You are committing this violence by choosing to remain ignorant and comfortable in your position of privilege. You are choosing to be the knife that continues to stab us. You will be the flawed parents and grandparents that my children and grandchildren beg yours to see for the violence they perpetuated. There is no passive route to dismantling antisemitism. And unless you take a direct role in undoing it, then you are perpetuating it.
You will be the reason my children and grandchildren ask the heavens in despair:
“After all this time, how do they still hate us so much without knowing anything about us?”
Please, for all our sakes, break the cycle.
* NOTE: those who converted to Judaism are 10000000000% Jews. The only reason I mentioned actual physical lineage at all is that the trauma has changed people of Jewish lineage at the epigenetic level of their DNA. We have literal physically inherited trauma. This does not negate trauma experienced by Jews who converted nor does it make them any less vital and included in the Jewish community.
“israel is the reason jewish people are getting hatecrimed” wrong! Two Thousand Years of Antisemitism.

THIS. PLEASE REBLOG THIS TO HELP PALESTINIANS WITHOUT HURTING JEWS IN THE PROCESS
Do not allow current events to make you antisemitic.
Hi there! I am reaching out because someone sent me a question about how to help Gazan civilians without accidentally helping Hamas or spreading more hate against Israelis. I honestly feel lost on this myself, but as far as I can tell you are someone who has done real activism in Israel. Do you have suggestions for diaspora Jews who want to help fight for peace?
So a small disclaimer to the Gaza problem. We have 2 main problems with getting aid into Gaza, the first is the limited amount of aid that is allowed in, sending more money cannot make it go in faster. Problem number 2 is that much of the physical aid ends in Hamas's hands or in the black market and there is nothing we can do with that. I have heard recommendations to wait and see who opens a field hospital on the Rafah border crossing, and donate to them. Despite that, here are some charities to help Palestinians both in and out of Gaza.
I will admit, most of my activism is focused on deradicalization on the Israeli side and solidarity work, so I had to ask around for some of those charities. Some of the groups I know of do not currently have an international donation link, so if I get more good ones, I'll make another post.
Gaza:
Medical aid for Palestinians-
Anera-
Doctors without borders-
Palestinians outside of Gaza and Peace movements:
Palestinian red Crescent- they also work in Gaza, but as the main source for Palestinian ambulances in the WB, I put them here.
mistaclim (Looking the occupation the the eye)- this group is helping to protect Palestinians from the illegal settlers
Keshet- this is a big one. they support Bedouin communities in normal times, and now they are working on getting bomb shelters to the unrecognized villages, and providing a mental health first aid line.
standing together- totally biased, as I am a member of this organization.
Women wage peace- a feminist based solidarity group
Haqel- they represents Palestinians in cases related to land ownership and access. there work is still ongoing even during the war
Center for Jewish non Violence - a diaspora org that also does a lot of work in the South Hebron Hills.

All those lovely goyim who claimed to hate antisemitism: now would be a great time to demonstrate that. Stop letting antisemites hide amongst you. Don’t let them be a part of your friend group just because they don’t want Palestinians to die. I also don’t want Palestinians to die. But plenty of people seem to have no problem freezing me out of their lives. The only difference is that the ones who are Jewish and don’t want genocide are being frozen out of their social circles and the ones who want only Jews to die are taking our place.
If you let them in, you’re part of the problem. If you don’t defend us in times like this, you’re part of the problem.
Why is it so hard for you? Why won’t you just fucking kick these people out?????
Do you want peace or do you just want Jews to suffer silently? Be honest.
just got a second official warning for my use of "from the river to the sea, palestine will be free" on the OTW volunteer slack
people are also currently asking board to ban saying that the founding of israel was colonialism—equating this to saying racial slurs—and were complaining about my status back when it was "palestine will be free", too
suffice to say, fuck that place, don't give the OTW your money, and don't fucking volunteer there
