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.

I just can't get over how much of a confession it is when somebody says, "I'm not antisemitic, Jews aren't even really a semitic people anyway".
What you're saying with that line of logic is that yep, you hate Jews. You just don't want to be called the word for people who hate Jews.

When people, especially pro-pal revisionists, like to ignore that it's very common for regions to have multiple names, just look at Germany and Japan.

Woke north Americans: Decolonize Canada! Decolonize America! Decolonize language! Decolonize law! Decolonize education! Decolonize blah blah blah!
Guys, you can't even handle Israel. A country made from a decolonization project. Trust me, you arent looking to really decolonize North America, you are just looking to sound good.

Oh this makes me so fucking mad
Tumblr media
So SO fucking mad
You mean israelites, hebrews ffs you mean CANAANITES
THERE WEREN'T PALESTINIANS 3,000 YEARS AGO
THERE WERE JEWISH KINGDOMS
If the tatreez originated 3,000 fucking years ago it makes it jewish, israelite. NOT palestinian
This horrendous cultural and historical erasure of a whole ass ethnic group is absolutely sickening
This accepted activity of rewriting and changing jewish history is so fucking disgusting
This is the kinda shit that makes it so hard for me to feel sympathy and accept the modern palestinian identity
ITS NORMAL FOR NEW IDENTITIES TO EMERGE AND BE BORN, BUT ITS NOT OK TO CHANGE HISTORY SO IT'LL LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE AN ANCIENT AND NATIVE IDENTITY!
I Just fucking hope for the sun to blow us all up soon ffs

I keep seeing a post going around saying that people should stop using the “colonized” names for cities in Israel/Palestine and should instead use the Arabic names.
I need you guys to be so for real right now, Hebrew is quite literally the indigenous language of the area. Like believe what you want about Israel, but Hebrew objectively and factually originated in that land. The earliest record of written Hebrew is the Khirbet Qeiyafa inscription, found near Beit Shemesh which dates back to the 11th-10th century BCE.
The first record of the name Jerusalem is in the Egyptian Execration Texts which date back to the 20th century BCE.
Arabic was introduced to the land in the 7th century CE. The first recorded use of “Al-Quds” was in the 9th century CE.
I could do this for every single ancient city in the land. Bethlehem, Hebron, Jericho, Jaffa, Beer Sheva, Acre, and Ashkelon all existed prior to the Arab conquests in the 7th century CE and the introduction of Arabic to the land.
The fact that we use the Hebrew names of these cities isn’t some conspiracy to make them sound “more Jewish”, the modern Hebrew names are direct descendants of the ancient Canaanite words for these places. Hebrew is the only surviving Canaanite language.
Believe what you want about Israel, but claiming that the Hebrew names for these cities are “colonial” names is a disgusting erasure of Jewish history in the land.

I understand why people want to use Arabic names for places in Palestine. However, a lot of Hebrew names for those places predate Zionism and have been used continuously for thousands of years. Saying Jersusalem/Yerushalyim instead of Al Quds isn’t necessarily Zionist. There are some places that are exceptions to this. For example, Tel Aviv, Qiryat Shemona, and Eilat are truly modern Hebrew/Israeli inventions.

trump winning mostly due to channeling the economic concerns of american voters into a better campaign (and probably also a few bomb threats) being blamed by hardline dems on arab/muslim/jewish voter treachery is pretty medieval europe coded i have to say

You're a zionist Arab Jew? Are you also a member of the Snow Leopards Eating My Face party? Are you white passing enough that zionists don't know you're Arab or do you just hate yourself? Are you unaware of the unabashed anti Arab racism that Israelis spout out every day on social media? Or do you think you're just "one of the good ones"?
Time for everyone's favorite game show!
"What deranged shit in Clownie's inbox today!"
To turn to a more serious note, Whilst I do not not live in Israel, my family does.
My family have only faced minimal racism for being arab, mainly stuff back in school years ago. I do not speak for all arab jews or even all Arabs in Israel, but that is mu family's experience. Just schoolyard racist teasing which is obviously not a good thing, but isn't a problem anymore than anywhere else in the world.
My family has full rights as other arab citizens do and other jews do.
Most jews I speak to have no problem with me being arab too. Do anti arab jews exist? Probably as no group is a monolith. I have just not encountered any yet, which is again, just my experience.
Zionism is also not an anti arab ideology inherently. Zionism literally just means wanting self determination in Southern Levant. That looks like a lot of different things, however most jews who are zionist believe in either a two state solution or a land for all solution which allows for jewish self determination and Palestinian self determination.
I think it's also important for me to say that I do not know which arab country my arabness comes from due to my family being told to "leave or die" a few generations back because they were also jewish. I really wish that history had not been forgotten in the past 4 generations but it has.
When it comes to my appearance, is white passing something you ask every other poc on this site? Or just arab jews.
For your information, I am not white passing, I look mixed. People can tell that I'm not white. I have faced anti arab sentiment and racism before too because of how I look. I've even had someone think I was the cousin of an arab acquaintance too if that gives you a better idea surrounding my appearance.
I would have a better time in Israel as an arab jew than I would in most arab countries as an arab jew. Also there is a decent community of arab jews in Israel as well.
Lastly I would like to leave you with this, if your world view is threatened by an arab jew being a two state solution zionist, then your world view is weak and not at all based in reality.
I an arab jew, am holding hands with all other arab jews, non Jewish arab and non arab jews. Fuck off with your arabs vs jews rhetoric

History of tel Aviv
The last anti Zionist trend on twitter is to claim Tel Aviv ‘s “original indigenous Arabic name” is Ahuzatbait
Which can’t be further from the truth.
Tldr- ​ahuzatbait is in Hebrew = tel Aviv = founded by Jews and later annexed to Jaffa, a mixed Jewish- Arab port city .
In 1909, The lands that make up tel Aviv were in purchased by Zionist Jews. Its first neighboured was given the Hebrew name “Ahuzat bait” אחוזת בית .it was later changed to Tel Aviv - the Hebrew translation of Herzl’s 1902 book (and concept) atneuland.
The entire purpose was to create the first Zionist Jewish city (until then Jews lived in mixed cities or small agricultural focused villages in the land of Israel).
At the time, Jewish people actually named their daughters Ahuzatbeit - a play on the word ahuzat bait and the English name Elizabeth.
As the years passed, the city was joined with Jaffa, mixed Arabic- Jewish port city , and is now called “Tel Aviv -Yafo”.
*Yafo is the Hebrew word for Jaffa.
Please stop this Arab revisionism/ propaganda and actually read about what you’re claiming.
- yours truly, a person who now actually lives in tel Aviv

Arab colonialism generally adheres to the same blueprint of land theft, displacement, and genocidal violence. When Islam plants a mosque somewhere, it believes this is conquered land and it's theirs forever, no matter what Temple or Church it builds on top of.
What sets it apart, however, is that it also attempts to project its own abuses onto its victims.
Rather than acknowledge their glaringly obvious 1400-year uber-colonial history, they will invert perceptions of history and reality in an attempt to self-indigenize.
They then usurp the cultures, stories, and legacies of indigenous peoples for themselves (but only the convenient parts - you'll never see Palestinians claim Judas) and disenfranchise the people they stole it from.
They will furiously deny that their ancestors were, in fact, colonizers who conquered their way on land on which they now occupy. Instead, they will frame themselves as native peoples who simply embraced Arab identity/converted to Islam, while the actual indigenous peoples are framed as nothing more than a pathetic band of rejects and cosplayers whose ancestors either never lived on the land to begin with, or were rightfully cast out (or have been cast out for so long that they have lost all right to return).
I can think of few other colonizers that do this. And because this behavior deviates from what we typically understand as "baseline colonialism", it becomes immeasurably harder to identify and more complex to counter.
