I saw a post about this so now I'm curious

New poll with more options if you want there

please consider reblogging for a larger sample size unless you're planning to say something that's anti-theistic

My friend was just telling me about how he was the head of the Jewish Student Union at his high school. And I was nodding along until I remembered-

“Josh- didn’t you go to a school where there was no other Jews??”

He then very grudgingly admitted he was both the president, student body and only member of the JSU. All because he wanted to find a way to complain about all the bullshit that was happening.

So um,

Yesterday, I learned that apparently, no one talks to Ashkenazi trans girls or women about breast cancer.

If you are taking female HRT, you are at a similar risk of breast cancer as a cis woman. And Ashkenazi women are at a higher risk than the average woman due in part to gene mutations.

Unfortunately, despite that, not all health insurances cover routine mammograms for trans women.

This makes it super super important that you do your monthly Breast Self-Exams (BSE) at home.

I've copied a video on how to perform a BSE below, but just a note that Ashkenazi women are more prone to breast cancer in general and at a younger age, so please if you do feel anything, make an appointment with your doctor

Just tossing this here so non-jewish mutuals/followers are aware, since I think this isn't as well known: Jewish Voice for Peace is as representative of jews as Autism Speaks is of autistic people. That is to say - not at all.

To clarify, I do not disagree with the idea of jews fighting for.. well, peace. I am a big supporter of organizations like Standing Together which pushes for exactly that. The issue is that JVP just makes shit up, often misrepresents or totally messes up jewish tradition (like the time when they misspelled every single hebrew word on their passover plate), and is generally such a car crash that it would be a bad idea to take their comments on judaism at face value.

Hey leftist goyim who have never studied any of these things,

Maaybe jews know the following things better than you?

What antisemitism is and isn't

Jewish history and the history of antisemitism

Antisemitic dogwhistles

What Judaism and Jewish practice is

What Israel is from a Jewish perspective (also generally history of Israel, what Zionism is, etc)

Nazism

Please stop 'explaining' to us. Yes, regardless of what you think, khazarianmafia1488's post about making trains run on time was not expressing a love of public transportation. Yes, that's antisemitism. No, that talmud passage you're quoting doesn't really exist. No, life for Jews in Muslim countries was not an idyllic paradise. No, Zionism and Kahanism are not the same. Yes, the Romans were genocidal. No, Nazism is a specific term that has meaning.

Please just trust us when we say we know more about us and our history and our killers than you.

Please stop "explaining" our history and culture and killers to us. We know them. We know perfectly well who killed us, and we know perfectly well that they haven't gone away, regardless of your self-inflicted blindness.

Please.

Is that so much to ask?

Well its happened, the face eating leopards have eaten the face of an antizionist jew, for talking out about holocaust denial and minimization

So this all stems from a black content creator talking about how little genocides affecting black folk get talked about (which is true, they do deserve to be spoken about) however in the video, she questioned the amount of jews killed in the holocaust, and minimized the holocaust."The Holocaust wasn't that bad it's used a tool of indoctrination, we need to look at things in perspective" quote from the creator.

Yuval, a Jewish content creator called her out for holocaust denying and minimization. Yuval is also staunchly antizionist. Like made a whole video throwing other jews under the bus by saying no antizionism is ever antisemitism.

Now, simply because he spoke out about holocaust denial, he is getting labeled a zionist, having words he did not say shoved in his mouth, and is now considered a "bad jew".

And honestly? It's fucking terrifying. Even as a zionist jew, it is terrifying. Calling out what most antizionists would consider to be antisemitism, now makes you a bad jew and a zionist. Jews have already been silenced when talking about antisemitism, but now it's full scale. You can't even talk about blatent antisemitism without being silenced.

I would not be surprised if we see a full scale pogrom happen in the nest future.

Zionist has officially lost is meaning of thinking a Jewish state should exist, it's now a word for any jew who thinks antisemitism is bad. It is so close to becoming a proper slur.

"Criticizing Israel isn't antisemitism" yeah but accusing Jews of making up hate crimes to derail the conversation around Gaza is. Claiming that the media is controlled by a secret group of all powerful Zionists is. Acting like the Holocaust is something Jews use to get out of trouble instead of an actual genocide that happened within living memory is. Telling us to go back to where we came from is.

"Criticizing Israel isn't antisemitism" yeah well a lot of you aren't being accused of antisemitism because you are criticizing Israel. You're being accused of antisemitism because you are being antisemitic and do nothing but evade and double down when it gets called out.

Ok so i am late by like a month, i have been busy and STILL didn't finish my native jewish miku but fuck it here's indigenous, native israeli miku with a little of my touch and a small analysis:

The clothes:

The dress is double layered and based on biblical description i saw of the clothes ancient jews wore i added yellow hoops at the end of the dress to represent the color of our oppression- yellow belts under the muslim rule and yellow stars in the holocaust

The embroidery:

The Rikma(embroidery) is a personal project i am working on for the past 3 months. The embroidery that WAS practiced on the land eventually was allowed only to muslims and arabs, jews in ottoman syria/palestine were so oppressed and poor they didn't have access to threads and around 1800's some rabbis discoraged jews being involved in arab activity, not only that the jews has completely disconnected themselves from most of the arab culture after the spread of zionism to the land as a form of building their own identity. And if there were jews involved in embroidery it is unknown bc all the photos i see are labeled as "palestinian woman" with no explanation if it is a christian, muslim or jewish.

My project consists of making patterns and motifs based on jewish history, symbols, traditions, land etc and i try to make it original, unique and as diverse from the tatreez as possible to avoid conflict. If any of you want i can explain in a different analysis on what each pattern represents.

The jewelry:

I genuinely suck at drawing gold and jewelry and tried my best to adorn her with as much jewelry as i can. The side piece(that can barely be seen) is also a pattern i came up with, i call it "amulet"

(ps. I forgot to make her a normal necklace, wanted to make it with a hamsa)

Henna:

Henna is still practiced by jews, mainly sefardic and mizrahi jews + ashkenazi jews who grow up and participate in mizrahi culture. The henna on the hands is based on patterns i saw some jewish artists made (on google unfortunately it didn't have names) which has the star of david on it and on the legs i made a mix of bukharan and yemeni jewish henna.

So here it is. A native, indigenous jewish/judean/israeli(te) miku. I tried my best✨

Goyim can reblog

[jewelleria]

“But there are nuances to sadistic barbarity against Jews, we are told, and sometimes gang-raping Jewish women is actually a movement for human rights. It hardly seems fair to call people anti-Semitic if they want only half of the world’s Jews to die. The phrase “Globalize the Intifada,” currently chanted at universities across America, perhaps widens the net a tiny bit—but really, who can say? Even the phrase “Gas the Jews,” chanted at a rally organized by NYU students and faculty, is so very ambiguous. How dare those whiny Jews presume to know what’s in other people’s hearts? It remains unclear why anti-Semitism should matter only when it is lethal, or if so, how many unambiguously anti-Semitic murders would be necessary for anti-Semitism to be happening outside whiny Jews’ heads. A realistic estimate might be 6 million. Even then, Jews have had to spend the past 80 years collecting documentation to prove it.”

I sat next to the protest today.

I wrote fan-fiction about two gay jewish dads raising children to the play list of the chant- "No peace on stolen land!" on an American college campus. It isn't a name brand one either, nor does it have any legitimate ties to Israel. The anger is just there- it has rotten these future doctors, nurses, teachers, and members of society.

I don't even know what to call their demonstration- it was a tizzy of a Jew hatred affair. At points, there were empathetic statements about Gazans and their suffering. Then outright support of Hamas and violent resistance against all colonizers. Then this bizarre fixation on antisemitism while explaining the globalists are behind everything.

"Antisemitism doesn't exist. Not in the modern day," A professor gloated over a microphone in front of the library. "It's a weaponized concept, that's prevents us from getting actual places- ignore anyone who tells you otherwise."

"How can we be antisemitic?" A pasty white girl wearing a red Jordanian keffiyeh gloats five minutes later. "Palestinians are the actual semites."

"there is only one solution!" The crowd of over 50 students and faculty cried, over and over.

"Been there, done that," I thought, then added a reference to a mezuza in the fourth paragraph.

Two other Jewish students passed where I was parked out, hunching and trying to be as innocuous as possible. We laughed together at my predicament, where I am willingly hearing this bullshit and feeling so amused by this.

"Am I crazy? For sitting here?" I asked them. My friends shook their heads.

"We did the same last week- it's an amazing experience, isn't it?”

We all cackled hysterically again. They left to study for finals. Two minutes later, I learned from the current speaker that “Zionism” is behind everything bad in this world.

Forty-five minutes in, a boy I recognized joined me on my lonely bench. He came from a very secular Jewish family and had joined Hillel recently to learn more about his culture. His first Seder was two nights ago.

He sat next to me, heavy like the weight of the world was on his shoulders. There was just this despondent look on his face. I couldn’t describe it anyone else, but just sheer hopelessness personified.

“They hate us. I can’t believe how much they hate us.” He said in greeting.

And for the first time all day, I had no snarky response or glib. All I could do was stare out into the crowd, and sigh.

(Not so) Hot Take

if the only jews you listen to are ones who give you a get-out-of-antisemitism-free card for either…

1. Hating 90% of Jews

2. Calling for the death/displacement of 50% of jews

3. Calling for the destruction of the only jewish state on earth, which is located in the jewish homeland?

…you don't actually "listen to jews.”

Stop acting like you do.
