#Israel is not safe for ANYONE

[octav0h]

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.

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?

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

[smile-files]

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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?

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 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
