You do realize that even Jewish people in Israel, especially Jewish people of color and Jewish survivors of the holocaust were treated unequally and even dehumanized in Israel, right?
Ok, it's time to settle this...
– Noah’s a young gay Jewish man who has suffered homophobic and antisemitic abuse for years, and so it hardly comes as a surprise that he’s inclined to support Israel when it’s the only place in the Middle East someone like him can set foot in without being publicly humiliated, tortured and murdered.
#don’t play that dumb game#Israel is not safe for ANYONE#ESPECIALLY JEWISH PEOPLE#AND PEOPLE OF COLOR

eden golan has to have 24 hour security detail in malmo because mobs of people have gathered outside her hotel room to protest her participation in a song contest. the finnish eurovision contestant said a video of him interacting with golan was “posted without his consent” and that the video “is not an endorsement” of Israel. her song, “Hurricane”, was originally titled “October Rain”, but was deemed too political for the contest by the EBU because of its references to the Simchat Torah pogrom.
she’s 20 years old. it’s a song contest. Israel has competed in Eurovision forty five times since 1973. Israel has won Eurovision four times and hosted three times. and this is the first time a contestant’s life has been at risk because of conflict in their home country.
who the fuck is being liberated here? who are we helping? more importantly, who is going to be the collateral damage?
#also the irony of swedes protesting the participation of an Israeli contestant is *chefs kiss*#blessings to eden and her loved ones#BH keep her safe#didnt see anyone protesting russias participation!#or azerbijan!#or literally any country until now!#did u know that there are several countries eligible to compete that refuse to participate bc of Israel#among them are Jordan and Qatar#Morocco has competed ONCE and its bc Israel withdrew that year#its almost funny to think about#the humor distracts from the raging antisemitism and xenophobia#judeophobia

This blogs agenda is so obvious.
Yeah I really hope my disdain for ethnic cleansing, genocide, Zionism and war crimes comes through strong. I wouldn't want anyone to think otherwise

as a jew, seeing what all of these israeli leaders have said is sickening. as a jew, anti-palestinian rhetoric is sickening. as a jew, zionism is sickening.
how dare my people -- a people who've been massacred, ethnically cleansed, dehumanized, forcibly removed, and discriminated on religious grounds for their entire existence -- do the same to another people? how dare we turn our backs on them, when they suffer like we have?
i understand that so much of us have been fed zionist propaganda our entire lives; the same happened to me. i understand the desire for a homeland where we don't have to fear antisemitism at every turn; i want that too. but it doesn't take much thought to understand that a homeland for us, which actively oppresses and kills another people, is antithetical to what we want.
if you, as a member of an oppressed group, believe that your freedom and safety can only exist when you oppress another group, you are acting no better than the people who oppressed you. such a belief is horrible, and cynical, and wrong.
as a jew, i want jewish people to be happy and safe and connected to our heritage; as a jew, i also want other peoples to be happy and safe and connected to their heritage.
don't call the palestinians "amalek". you are turning us into amalek.
doesn't the torah tell us to have empathy for those beaten down by the world? doesn't the torah tell us to make the world a better place? doesn't the torah tell us to free people of their shackles and help them escape oppression?
i have so many israeli aunts and uncles and cousins; i fear for their safety. of course, my parents do as well. i'm worried that this fear, in addition to anything they were led to believe earlier in life, is placing my parents even deeper in the zionist camp. but it doesn't have to be this way! my relatives' safety does not rely on the continued oppression of gaza!
it is easy to be uninformed, to be swayed by propaganda, to blindly hope that israel was founded in good faith -- but we can't lie to ourselves. a world steeped in senseless hatred (which we are now promoting!) could never be a home for us. none of us are free, liberated, equal, until all of us are.
as a jew, to other jews, i implore that we stand with our palestinian siblings. i want us all to be happy and safe. i want us all to live in harmony -- in the holy land and around the world. that is what we all deserve. <3
#melonposting#i apologize for not reblogging/posting much stuff about israel/palestine until now#i kept having this fear that my mom would see and get angry at me#but what do i care? i want both jews and palestinians to be happy#oh yeah. and i keep hearing the argument that 'jews living in the holy land before israel was established weren't treated well'#i don't know if that's true or not... but does it matter?#like of course antisemitism is horrible. but that can be dealt with#forcibly taking over their land is not the answer#like if israel were never a thing and people saw that jews living in the holy land didn't have rights#they'd do something about it!#and if you think they wouldn't (which is a fair thing to think)... well then you should do something about it!!!#don't solve oppression with more oppression you idiot!!!!!#no positive change will ever come to a world which doesn't think positive change can happen#and oppression is not positive change.#and it also pains me how so much of zionist rhetoric feeds off of post-holocaust fear#and i get it. i get that in the mid 20th century we were so scared and angry after the holocaust#and that we desperately wanted a safe haven#i will never not empathize with that fear and rage because it's justified#but that is no excuse to oppress another group of people. there are other ways to be safe and happy i promise#just stop hurting each other... please... you're not helping anyone...#palestine#israel#zionism

I don’t usually make posts about politics or current events because that’s just not what I come here for, but - and I really didn’t think I would have to say this - please unfollow and/or block me if you support Israel’s crimes against Palestine. I don’t care if we’re longtime mutuals, I don’t want anything to do with you. I also have zero interest in debating this topic with anyone so if I get a single shitty ask as a result of making this post I am deleting it without replying.
#was just shocked by a really awful post reblogged by someone I was mutuals with for years so 😬#thought I’d better say this. better safe than sorry. I don’t want to see that shit on my dash#like if you have educated yourself about both sides of what is going on & the historical context of it and still side with Israel..#I don’t know what to say. I genuinely cannot see how anyone can excuse the things they’re doing#and the fact that countries like the US are actively helping and funding them to do these things

Hello! I know I don't really have an audience since I haven't really posted, and I haven't been reblogging or liking for a while due to anxiety stuff I'm dealing with, but this felt important enough to me to post. If you are attacking Jewish people over the war against Hamas you should block me and continue on your way. If you are Jewish you are welcome on my blog, you are welcome to message me and educate me on the conflict, your culture, your current fixation, WHATEVER. Admittedly, I probably won't be able to message back or do much interaction with other blogs again for a while yet, but I DO plan on trying to post some fandom content on here since I like to write and want to work on my anxiety issues and I would like to hear from people while I do so even if I can't reply right now. So there you go, treaty inbox like the void and shout about whatever at me. That said, antisemites and others being intentionally bigoted will be blocked and reported.
#safe blog for jewish users#bigots BEGONE#I will be severely disappointed in anyone who sends hate over this#I'm too tired to be mad anymore#we can be better people#start acting like it#pls rant at me#feel free to educate me whether I've posted about a topic or not#I do love learning#israel hamas war

Modern Zionism is an Israeli Nationalist movement. The arguments & defenses that Zionists use to justify the horrific actions taken by the state of Israel become much more clear when you start understanding it this way.
#.txt#free palestine#Zionism#anti-Zionism#I see a lot of anti-Netenyahu pro-Israel Zionists talk about Israel as a concept rather than as an already existing political state#Israel is not a collection of abstract ideas of self determination or community or safety. it is a Political state and we should judge#it’s actions & history accordingly#Israel is not above judgement and criticism and the accusation of crimes on humanity because no state is#Never again for anyone#when Zionists talk to you with broad ideas about community and safety always ask yourself#why is it that Israelis deserve the right to self-determination but Palestinians do not?#why is it that Israelis deserve a safe haven for community and religion but Palestinians do not?#you can’t be leftist or even liberal and a Zionist. Zionism is a far right movement BECAUSE of its inherent nationalism#& because of Israel’s military/imperialism based economy

(Vague post)
Popular analog horror has gone down the antisemetism rabbit hole so I no longer feel bad about using a vaguely similar idea. I think we need a Jewish analog horror ARG in fact
#Nah they’re not just supporting Palestine if they talk about Israel spreading propaganda and ‘getting what they deserve’#And ‘facing consequences by powers less cowardly ‘#Oh yeah I’m sure you’re not antisemetic when you’re threatening that more powerful countries will nuke Israel off the planet uh huh mhm#Anyways if anyone wants to join me in creating a completely jewish analog horror arg hit me up it’s our time#mango rambles#personal fruits#jumblr#ישראבלר#Not naming names but the fact is you can probably think of like. Five examples#Cool cool this doesn’t make me scared about content in the future at all.#I sound joking and all but I’m actually legit terrified#No space is safe for me#Not the magical girl fandom. Not the animation fandom. Not music or art. And now not even online horror#I legit have no place left. The only ones accepting me are either run by Jews or VERY small communities that don’t care about politics#When we say we are alienated now- think of what I just said#Every group has run me out of it. I can’t talk about anything I like without fearing for my online safety.#And people think this is an appropriate price for me to pay despite being a disabled queer mentally ill person. Someone who they’re suppose#To protect. WHO they still claim to protect. But when you add Jew#Or heaven forbid Israeli#To the mix. Suddenly you don’t get inclusivity anymore#WHO CARES if your hopes for the future rest on you creating art because you’re never gonna be able to support your family or get a real job#Should’ve thought about that before you parents were born in Israel if you wanted to be treated as a human being#Fuck everyone. My hopes for the future are legitimately so gone I’m always looking forward to dying so these people can be happy.#All I want is for everyone to be happy even at my expense. Sure my family will grieve#But millions of people will cheer for my death. That outweighs it. It’ll bring so much more happiness if I die.#This is my state now#I hope all you fucking Americans are happy. The country is going through a mental health crisis caused by you and you’re laughing#And tearing down posters of our cousins and siblings and friends. Laughing about it#And then go on to pretend to punch fictional nazis when in fact you are supporting real ones right now#I’m so done with everyone. Sorry about how series these tags are

twitter suspends me for "violent speech" seconds after i make a joke about tapeworm physiology but the overwhelming amount of people who responded to wednesdays shooting by blaming lewistons somali community are just fine? fuck offff
#like getting suspended was funny for a second and then i remembered the actual droves of violent speech under headlines whilei was trying to#make sure my classmate and her children were safe and checking in with my coworkers who go to lewiston auburn all the time.#when the pictures came out immediately somebody expressed disappointment that he wasnt black#every other comment stated “hes obviously middle eastern look he has middle eastern features” on a super blurry security cam screenshot.#im so sick of it. people died. we lost 4 members of the deaf community and at least 2 more were injured. one of the victims was 14 years ol#this is jjust i mean. on top of horrific zionist comments that go undetected because people controlling media and censorship just dont care#and actively promote israel propoganda and censorship of palestinian voices and resistance#sorry my thoughts are all oer the place. i am trying to continue to spread awareness and updates on palestine but this shooting happened#literally less than half an hour from where i live and work. lewistons community is intertwined with my daily life so i will be pretty voca#about it on top of sharing as much as i can on palestine#okay also to clarify i do not want to suggest what happened here is more important than what is going on in gaza rn.#i do not want to draw attention away from this genocide and i firmly believe focusing as much energy as possible into spreading awareness a#and donating/protesting/campaigning anything whatever is possible is most important right now.#overwhelmed as i am by the tragedy in my community it will never stop me from advocating for palestines freedom. i do not believe anyone#not directly affected has a right to “take a break” from this issue

Anyone who asks "Why are there still children in Gaza?" is asking the completely wrong question; what is far more compassionate to ask is: why is there war in Gaza?
#''why are Indigenous people still on their land'' I DON'T KNOW; BECAUSE IT'S THEIR LAND - THEIR HOME?#anyone who asks ''why are there still children in Gaza'' are also completely glossing over the privilege that THEY (as the askers) HAVE#IN ASKING THAT QUESTION. why don't you also try considering: who is *allowed* to leave? who has the means to leave?#(after - obviously - considering why anyone in Gaza would not want to leave.) it's their home! why should they leave? just to be safe from#genocidal occupying force? why is that THEIR problem? why should that be justification enough to leave?#god. just avoid holding Israel accountable for the genocide that they are enacting in Palestine. of course. FUCK OFFFFFFF

#i can't bring myself to talk about the palestine israel stuff publicly online yet no matter how many times i try#but please rest assured that i am not ignoring any of it. it's weighing on me very heavily and occupying most of my irl conversations#every time i try to talk about it i end up writing a fucking novel length brick of text#if anyone wants to talk about it i am here and open to discussing it via DMs#it has been a difficult and exhausting and disheartening and intensely uncomfortable week to be an anti-Zionist jew online#which i do realize is incredibly western/American/first world problems of me to be saying when people are literally dying#but just. i have a lot of thoughts but for the most part they all boil down to frustration at having my entire faith and culture#equated with zionism at every turn#and it is so distressing to watch chronically online westerners actively cheering on death and war and conflict#and none of the things i want to say will fit in a post or a canva infographic or a tweet or an insta story#just. palestinians deserve to live freely. jews deserve to live safely.#what we're seeing now is the inevitable result of decades of violent genocidal settler colonialism#that doesn't make it justified or any easier to swallow or any less heartbreaking#personal#idk

i don’t… i’m not understanding something right. …they KEEP saying they’re targeting Hamas, but they have ONLY only only only only killed civilians. they’ve targeting hospitals, safe zone camps, ambulances, already bombed cars with a single surviving child inside- is there anyone who genuinely in good faith believes that Israel is ACCIDENTALLY killing all these civilians?? …have they hit a single fucking target that wasn’t 100% civilians??? what the fuck
but even then. “Israel says it was targeting Hamas compound” …okay? well you missed. are…you going to be held accountable for this little oopsie? this thing you claimed was an accident? you said it was a mistake but you keep keep keep keep keep keep keep keep keep keep keep keep doing it. this wasn’t the fist “miss”. it’s not even close to the first. i genuinely don’t understand how it can be this blatant. how they can lie so blatantly and the whole world just goes “🤷♀️🤷🤷♂️ they said they were trying to hit Hamas. Hamas is the bad guy in all of this and Israel are the good guys. What aren’t you getting about that?”
The Financial Times needs to be on the chopping block
#i dont understand#this disconnect is actually fucking sending me rn. they so clearly arent targeting anyone other than civilians? and havent since the start#actually genuienly mind boggling#like okay. you want to pull the blanket over your head and pretend its all okay? fine#but how do explain all the ‘misses’ all the ‘we were TRYING to hit hamas..’ its. every. day.#every day its some other civilian camp. some refuge. some safe area.#‘fool me once’ and all that. what the fuck are yall ON??? i literally dont know what it would take for you people#you cant be fooled at this point. nobody is in the dark. if you stand with Israel you are a fucking monster. end of story.#rant#sorry for hijacking this post but it just. keeps happening. its ALWAYS ‘oopsiepoobless we missed hamas again teehee🤪 silly us!’#like??? NOONE BELIEVES YOU#NOBODY IS FOOLED!! WHAT THE FUCK#‘there is no war in ba sing se’ FUCK

i don't think most people realize how bad things in rafah have truly gotten. we all already know israel has desecrated its own vow that rafah would be the "safe zone" in every way imaginable, but i can't describe how gut-wrenching it is to read about 12 iof soldiers infiltrating the rafah crossing under the guise of an aid truck just a day or so ago. again--they entered rafah with the pretense that they would be supplying starved, displaced people food
this is just now breaking, but i can't fathom how many palestinians got lured out w the promise of feeding their families--only to massacred then and there, never to be heard from again. likely their bodies won't ever be returned to the families. how can anyone read this and not be absolutely horrified

Attempted to leave the fandom after being made incredibly uncomfortable about it in late 2023 but also just remembered a specific line from a specific episode and now I'm going feral again
#There really is no escaping the brainrot#Anyways. I genuinely do not want to be in the fandom#I don't want to continue writing and posting and interacting with these people#(fandom in question is mcyt in general. Because some of the CCs also said some stuff on twitter at some point or another and#like not anything so harsh as “everyone in israel should die” but in a “israelis should stop condemning palestinians as a whole”#And I saw that. During the times when we still didn't have anyone back. Like very early into things#And just. Idk the fact that they never said anything about how our lives matter too.#The fact that there's a LOT of antisemitism going in that community. To the point where I left discord servers over feeling unsafe#And they never stop their community from doing and saying that kind of stuff.#But oh they're soo friendly and nice. Except for the fact I don't feel safe in their spaces anymore.#After years I finally felt comfy enough to be with the community and I immediately regretted it#But goddamn because I just remembered that in secret life scar has a line about embracing the chaos#Which just means I really am as good as I think I am. Because I made him a creature of chaos in my au all the way before double life#(technically it was before moon big. Might even be before last life. I also made him blow up the moon. Which is why I remember it being s8)#But goddamn. I don't want to be in that fandom#Logically I know I shouldn't come back to that fandom#But I miss it. I want to finish writing sunbringer. I want to post it all at once and then orphan it so it can't be traced back to me#And I don't think I should#I also can't. Because I'm stuck on a specific chapter POV and I do not know how to write keralis. And I have noone to ask for help#(because again. Where would I ask. I don't feel safe with these people so I can't be on discord servers with them so how do I get past this#Sigh
