I keep getting reminded of how fucking antisemitic ive seen people be online and its just Jesus christ i am killing everyone. You dont see a cross necklace in someones video about how to make pasta and bombard them with that type of bullshit why do you do it when someones making a video abt how to mend a hole with a star of david pattern. You dont hear me mentioning being pagan and go 'oh but youre not one of the bad ones right'. Killing everyone actually. I spent years in elementary wchooÜ having units on historical racism and not once did this come up it is so deeply institutional i am going to stab everyone to death actuaÜÜy bye. Fuck this
#This is about people who see one jewish symbol or a mention of judaism and immediately start hunting for a reason to hate them#Or just take their being jewish as one#I know the only two people who see this will be jewisj and you two undwrstand this better than me but this shit is#Challenging my faith in humanity. I saw an instagram video MONTHS ago abt the mening with a star of david pattern and when you open the#Comments everything was either 'free gaza' 'fuck zionists' 'Israel isnt real' like bitch what I am just so fuxking mad#And I cant do shit about it!!!! I am going to kill everhone I am so angry about this what the acrual fuck#Antisemitism#Tw antisemitism

And what if they grew old and were happy!! And what then!!
#Killie and Derek#Jockeyposting đ#Killie#Greyuncle Derek does not celebrate Christmas because he is Jewish and Greyuncle Killie is to everyoneâs weariness still Killie#and also has no idea how many greatniblings he has..#his twin brother had X number of children of which a few were biological and some werenât and they all look quite different#even the biological ones despite being essentially the offspring of Killieâs clone are all different in appearance and personality and most#and THEY all had a lot of kids. so Killie simply accepts that there are X number of people who call him Greyuncle Killie and are probably?#probably? his family?? or somebodyâs?? this is not the sort of stuff he knows about. Derek takes care of most of it.#Killie just keeps a decent placid good-natured Shetland and packs them all onto it and teaches them to fall.#no discrimination or gatekeeping or anything. he just assumes that theyâre his and thatâs why theyâre here.#statistically some of them arenât and werenât here for that but statistically is Killie wrong? no. no he is not.#but there is ONE THING retired jockey Greyuncle Killie is NOT!#he is NOT horseless.#he has a small pony and a few horses and like 3 dogs of comically different sizes and Derek.#and 12-75 business greatniblings.

My jewish community, friends, rabbi, and educators: We are very invested in helping you be jewish. Do you want to help read the haftarah? Here's a chanukiah! You can have it!! Borrow these books! Here's some books! You need more books... Come to pesach! Come to the chanukah party! When are your classes done? We need a minyan for once!
Me and my 50000 IQ: What if I am Secretly Appropriating judaism? What if I am doing a Cultural Appropriation........
#jumblr#jew by choice#jewish conversion#personal thoughts tag#there comes a point where your concerns about if you are an Appropriative Cultural Appropriator hinders your jewish journey#i think a comforting thing is knowing that my incessant fear about this is confirmation that i love judaism#i love it with my heart and soul and (i feel) i'd be a less realized person without it#and i think people who genuinely engage in cultural appropriation just Do Not Care about the cultures they appropriate from#they don't love the culture enough to respect it and that is a big reason that it even IS appropriation#especially when jewish people are INVITING you to do things... it's not appropriation#i dunno last night i was feeling very anxious about lighting the chanukiah candles because i'm alone#but i've also lit shabbos candles. and it's just like... why would i choose not to engage in this when one day i will have to?#this time next year i will have to light candles. as a jew. and if i have no clue how to do it myself then i'll just avoid it#plus... i love my chanukiah and i want to use it. it is currently decorating my room because i love it#i hope they'll let me take pictures of all the chanukiah that'll be at the party#i'm sure they will because they're very open and they are very accommodating. in fact i'm bringing my clarinet too#i haven't touched that thing in well over four years đ#but jewish music without a clarinet is like a body with no soul. it's impossible. it is not what g-d wants i think.#i just hope my ability to play by ear hasn't been affected by my lack of playing. i don't have perfect pitch tbc#but i fully believe you can know your instrument so well that you develop an ear for perfect pitch#in fact... i refused to memorize my marching band music because i DID develop that 'perfect pitch' ear. that's my dirty secret#i didn't practice in part because i can't have a space where noone could hear me practice and it's embarrassing and private to me#literally EVERY jew in my life has been almost TOO ecstatic about my jewish journey. i'm very thankful for it#i guess i just didn't think i deserved to have people as happy about me being in judaism as i am#so to be clear this is my brain being rude and dumb. this anxiety has NEVER been reinforced by anyone but myself#so i take full responsibility for it. but i think that anxiety is something many/most converts/jews-in-progress feel

#cole i saw ur reply on waiting until the bullshit around the game calms down and it stops being 'trendy' to care and i think that's a good#idea. bc a lot of the notes /were/ just about jkr and the game. there's no guarantee it'd have gotten as much support otherwise#BUT i reblogged that post on how hating nazis and supporting the jewish community are two separate statements and it's not something i had#thought a lot about. to me they should go together but it's clear they don't and so i wanted to make another one of these bitches#just so it's very clear where i stand. i dont just hate nazis - i also support the jewish community. 365 days a year#the game and all that may have made things louder - it feels necessary to be louder right now - but it doesnt make my stance new#if tumblr finds a reason to take this one down im gonna start biting#maison speaks

I keep seeing a piece of Jewish art everywhere and itâs killing me because the creator is a Hamasnik Jew who has spent months spreading disinformation and libel (obviously nothing said on the Simchat Torah pogrom, a day later already spreading lies). And I see this a lot. Non-Israeli Jewish blogs sharing Jewish stuff from people who, yes, are Jews, but also think itâs justified for me and my family to be murdered. And it sucks, even though itâs small and I should just move on from it. It feels like shit going into a blog that I know is safe for me and still somehow finding hatred.
#obviously I know itâs demanding to a stupid level but I really wish more Jewish blogs did little background checks#like maybe Iâm the weird one here but I always go through the archive quickly or make a cursory search for keywords just to make sure#idk#I donât want to enforce anything on anyone but it would be nice if we could stop sharing stuff from Jews who hate Jews like me#this is just a random vent so donât take it seriously#Jewish stuff#×׊ר×××ר#antisemitism#not from the blogs sharing stuff itâs just from the blogs who are being shared (to clarify)#vent#×× ×× ×××ת ק׌ת ×××

i put them in silent hill d(-_^)
notes + non grainy vers under cut
maybe one day i'll make a continuation with the surviving (for now) characters but this is just for the dead ones đ¤ (its more or less just the plot of silent hill 2....)
#alien stage#alnst#sua#till#ivan#myart#i like silent hill as an allegory for hell (temporary jewish hell) like yay one last place to hash out your fucking issues before ur dead#the real ivan isnt here he already went to yaoi heaven#guy with no problems clearly#if i could draw fucked up silent hill monsters i would turn nigeh into one. a la abstract daddy#i think it would be funny for till to just be fighting straight up pyramid head tho#the angel version of sua being a monster would be sick too...like she just pops out of the mirror smiling#takes up all ur shotgun shells..mhm#also since james is very....unbothered i do wanna clarify till would be fucked UP in silent hill#like ivan/maria would just unnerve him so bad. i think hed almost attack him a few times when startled#oh hyun woo is also there btw. hes like laura. i didnt feel like learning to draw him tho sorry

Boy, what if they had done something with mark greene being Jewish? What if?
THINGS I ASK MYSELF CONSTANTLY
I know we get that comment from him that he's not especially observant or whatever but like. why not though... give us SOMETHING. "well maybe they didn't know how to write it" they had plenty of medical consultants what would be so difficult about finding Jewish consultants as well!!! I would LOVE to have seen that actually treated as a layer of his character consistently!!! it could have been so good. argh.
but they sure didn't have a problem giving us other characters having big Christianity moments đ shakes my fist.
#Mouse talks!#one of my biggest issues... I go :/ that they also don't really do a lot with Doug being called a pagan/heathen rather than just an atheist#which TO ME implies he does have SOME kind of religious beliefs they just. don't really get addressed#except as kind of a jokey problem re: Carol's Catholic mom. WHATEVER#for my big wip I've made an excel spreadsheet calendar of the years over which it takes place and looked up when Jewish holidays#would have fallen specifically so I can try to incorporate Jewish Mark more. maybe he's not super observant but I have the power to say WEL#HE CAN HAVE MORE THAN THE SHOW GAVE HIM AT LEAST. AND SO HE WILL

TERFs đ¤ Zionists
Using the exact same talking points and rhetoric.
#just saying#don't mind me but you Know I'm Right#like its the same picture#like both will ask for a blood test to see how much you're allowed to talk about your own idenity for one#they tend to use gaslighting when you notice historical events#and they're both holocaust deniers who believe no other group was effected by the holocaust#they both hate Jews and have a history of using conspiracy theories to justify their hate of other groups#both use the same ideologies of far right fascists#both love nazis so much that they copy their methods#both twist the truth to fit an agenda#both have the whole âevery accusation is an admissionâ thing where they accuse others of being what they are#both are racist and racially profile and investigate people#both have a very binary view of human beings and think there's a secret âus vs themâ battle going on between them and other groups of people#especially when said people finally get sick of being hate crimed and show agression after the initiated aggression#both accuse âthe other sideâ (aka an entire group that doesn't want anything to do with them) of stealing their idenity and picking on them#they see people chanting âwe hate nazisâ and âwe hate fascistsâ as a personal attack against them#Both want sympathy for acting aggressively to total strangers who are minding their own business#both claim to care for Jews (some even are Jewish) but use antisemetic rhetoric in their politics then cry when people call them out on it#Both don't understand the concept that being part of a marginalised group doesn't stop you from hating those of the same or other groups#Both are backed by far right christo-fascists (#And both claim that others are being hateful when said people simply say âyou're taking what I said out of contextâ or twist their words#Aaaand they both use bot accounts online and would rather believe professional agistators rather than factual evidence#which includes surrounding themselves in echo chambers that claim really over the top conspiracy theories and history denialism-#- to justify their views#Also they end to be the same people sometimes

Despite my best efforts, I have to name another character
#oh katherine's mother needs a name since she's appearing in the next chapter.#what was the name of the actual historical katherine pulitzer's mother?#i am terrible at naming characters so i usually just take the names of various people i know#especially if they're just being mentioned in passing#anyway the reason this is relevant today is that i was like#turns out it's also katherine/kate#because joseph pulitzer hid the fact that he was jewish from kate until after they were married and was not very observant to my knowledge#and so he broke the number one ashkenazi jewish naming rule: don't name your kid after the living#but in the bachelorette au katherine explicitly mentions being raised jewish which makes her mother also being named katherine very unlikel#so now i have to figure out a name for an obnoxious suburbanite! whoo!#anyway hope you enjoyed today's fun history facts with isabel! tune in never for no more fun history facts!#bachelorette au#isabel.tex#katherine plumber

Do not stop talking about Palestine. Do not forget about Palestine. This is not a battle of religion and I do not think it should be treated as such. From the river to the sea, they will be free đľđ¸
Disclaimer: I am not an expert. I am just some guy in the US. I am not a direct source of information. Please listen to Palestinians. Please help them directly. Please help with protests if your country is supplying Israel with weapons like the US.
#but wait there's more#it may take a while for me to gather my thoughts so not immediately#I have so many thoughts specially about holy land experience type shit#my personal belief is that Palestinians should be given back their land#Israel will become a part of Palestine and would receive full citizenship#and all of them will be treated as equals#Aid will go to Palestinians as the country and rebuilt as much as it can be after so much tragedy#Since the idea of Israel was to have a protective Jewish state#I think the better option would be for the world to agree collectively to be a place for refugees#if there's another situation like the holocaust#all refugees should be given that opportunity to escape#there's so many conspiracies against Jewish people which is why I think it needs to be declared by countries to protect any Jewish person#that is fleeing antisemitism in their current country#it doesn't need to be a Jewish state especially with so many Jewish people being pro-Palestine#and living outside of Israel#I know people currently living in Israel and I want them to be safe#And they will be if their government just lets Palestinians live#but yea later on I'll talk about the holy land experience thing I'm pissed about rn#I feel like I haven't said enough on the blog. I have terrible OCD where I'll ruminate about this until I panic#I do not want to be a source of that for others so I encourage you to educate yourself without ruminating#It does not help Palestine to shame yourself and others for not being able to do a specific thing#So instead I ask you to look it up when you are able to and do what you can#I usually do the daily clicker and I wanted to join my university's protests but couldn't#since I was the only one working my job which is monitoring the queer safe space on campus#and I didn't want to close that area just in case it was need by protesters or queer students#just found out today ppl at my school will be expelled if caught so that's why it's at the front of my mind rn

my various mental issues make liking people so hard because i already put people on a pedestal to begin with if i genuinely like them so i am automatically laying myself at their feet like a dog but then i wrestle with the ego death of seeing that they're just a human being who is capable of being wrong and stupid and annoying me and it kind of makes me sick to my stomach not because i expect people to be perfect but because i know if i had like 5 minutes to sit down and talk to this person i would feel more secure in knowing where they stand on any given thing. but you aren't granted that when you just like some random guy who will never know you because you can't take the feeling of someone who could actually know you. or whatever.
#i like a jewish man who made one vaguely ignorant comment about what's going on Over There and has said nothing on the topic since#he's kind of known for being someone who... likes to look out for the 'little guy' but knowing jews who place too much stake in the concept#of israel and having a place they 'belong' and having fought with people who believe that there are various kinds of zionism and not just#the outright evil one where people assuming their religion gives them the birthright to displace and genocide an entire group of people#and obvious this topic hits way too close to home as a jewish person like i just don't understand how jewish people are okay with it#obviously not all of them are. and thank goodness. because you have to be an idiot to sign off on anything a violent group of white racists#tell you to believe. in MY opinion. but this whole thing has just really hurt me deeply and wounded my willingness to identify with#judaism and my jewishness. which sucks. but obviously it sucks way more for the people who have been consistently and violently slaughtered#it's definitely testing my resilience and nerves and i think to some degree it's part of why i haven't even bothered bringing him up becaus#i'm so sick of giving my fellow white jews the benefit of the doubt about their stance on israel. if you don't see it for what it is by now#you're STUPID!!!!!!!!! and i want to be like. well all he did was say smth back when hamas took hostages and whatever but at the same time#he's a jewish nepo baby with a famous mother so he was obviously raised with no shortage of wealth#and - in knowing that#i also know that ignorance runs rampant in rich families who don't bother to look into issues within their own community. and he's never#had to think about the violence that the people have endured due to a settler colony thinking they own the place. the only things i knew#about israel before last year were that they sucked ass and that their military is well-funded and obligatory. if you have eyes and you're#not in an internet echo chamber at THIS point? you know they don't just suck ass but that they are evil. i knew about the occupation and#constant violence all the way back as a teenager because of tumblr (which is kind of insane ngl) and when i found out i was jewish i had#literally no new feelings about israel whatsoever. the persecution complex some jews have about ppl's hatred for israel makes me insane bc#it's literally just a bunch of losers who moved from their ACTUAL birthplaces into a place they have no business being and acting like they#own it and belong there. i have no idea how people feel welcomed by a place like that simply bc you all have the same ethnicity/religion.#it almost feels like a cult and considering that it takes so much inspo from america i honestly wholeheartedly believe that bc it's exactly#how they operate. anyways. all this to say he's not a perfect guy by any means and he's probably at least a little fucking stupid and#brainrotted bc he's rich. idk what else to say bc i don't wanna show my hand or anything on this like i'm very aware this whole thing is#pointless. but alas... that's most of my life!

there's a post going around saying that jewish people would be considered settlers (perjorative) anywhere they went that's annoying me because it fundamentally misunderstands what settler colonialism is. Moving somewhere and joining an existing community isn't being destructive, and those who claim it is are xenophobes and racists, and historically have been being antisemitic when saying this to jewish peoples in various countries! On the other hand zionists creating settlements on the west bank and telling palestians who are Also indigenous to the land that they have to leave on pain of death (or just killing them up front) is a totally different situation. It's just not true that it's impossible to go anywhere without displacing people. I think that recognizing that jewish ppl have been and are frequently targeted by xenophobia can be really clearly separated from the criticisms being made of Israel and zionist ideology.
#personally also just so familiar with this rhetoric in india#like historic oppression of hindus in some areas of india does not negate the current situation#which is a hindu right wing facistic government oppressing a muslim minority#generations have passed! no one here has experienced anything but this situation!#sandhya thinks#anyways the whole convo frustrates me because it's like#the whole western world's interest in this as well as the israeli government's is just the resources and strategic location#in the middle east#not to mention being too antisemitic to actually just welcome jewish people without restriction in other countries#and commit to making it safe#also i am not smart if any of u take issue w whatever im saying lmk

This isn't, like, the biggest deal, but I do find it funny when people are almost... surprised or shocked that converts unironically believe in judaism and also unironically align themselves with jewishness. It's just something I've seen a small handful of times and it's like... of course I (and others!) unironically believe in this stuff. I'm not putting in this work because I don't have enough going on in my life
#jumblr#jewish conversion#jew by choice#personal thoughts tag#the shock is mostly (ime) 'wait you actually believe that??' in a weird tone#like! yes! i find fulfillment in... much of judaism!! that's what drew me in#it's like some people expect us to be like... secretly xtian or secretly not believe in judaism for nefarious reasons??#like frankly if i wanted an easier time of it i'd just go back to being an ex-xtian agnostic (which i obviously am not)#but judaism fulfills me. i know the happiness i feel is genuine contentment and the feeling of home#but yeah. i do unironically think of jews as my intrinsic equal *and* a people i want to be part of#if i didn't see them/us as equal i wouldn't be here. i do my best to deepen my... allyship?? alliance??? with the people i want to join#and that's something that takes a lot of time and effort and it's something that's important regardless#i often don't find this stuff offensive but it makes me wonder what they think converts are... converting to? why wouldn't we believe this?#like ik it's complex but at the same time it's a matter of... i'm aware of my own intentions for conversion and it has nothing to do...#...with my past as an 'xtian.' it has nothing to do with tricking people or being bored or whatever else might be nefarious like that#xtian in quotes because i don't think i ever was one though i was raised in that environment by people who *were* xtian

how are you a holocaust survivor if you're POC?
I'm not a Holocaust survivor I'm 25?
I'm gonna guess you mean descended from Holocaust survivors & victims. In which case it's really sad that you think this way firstly? POC and non Jewish people did in fact die during the holocaust and many were targeted for not fitting the Nazis' idea of the "superior Aryan race".
From The Holocaust Encyclopedia: "When Adolf Hitler and the Nazis came to power in 1933, there were several thousand Black people living in Germany. The Nazi regime discriminated against them because the Nazis viewed Black people as racially inferior. During the Nazi era (1933â1945), the Nazis used racial laws and policies to restrict the economic and social opportunities of Black people in Germany. They also harassed, imprisoned, sterilized, and murdered an unknown number of Black people."
Also contrary to what some believe, and this may sound farfetched and I hope you're sitting down but bear with me- some people are actually more than one race. Some people are POC and white. We call this being biracial. Or in grade school, being an "Oreo". A mutt if they really want to dehumanize you
But while my relatives weren't targeted for their skin color as they were white, many people were. Black Germans and other POC did exist, were murdered and traumatized, and have passed down that generational trauma. Just as other persecuted populations even if it was much less it was no less a part of the genocide and ethnic cleansing.
#i was actually never called an oreo but my siblings were#the fun thing about my racial ambiguity is no one irl knows what racial slur or term to call me#anyway there were Holocaust victims that were POC and it's even more reason to compare these events.#we have to mention the holocaust by name. we have to say hitler's name. i feel if we don't we're forgetting that this has happened before#because millions did not die during the holocaust just for us to justify more ethnic cleansing. more destruction of people's land& history#we have to look at how history was rewritten and how they allowed a genocide and massive cleansing to happen#and given my background i can't wrap my head around seeing everything that i heard of the nazis and even the USSR doing#and just going âbut hamasâ. israel is the cause hamas is the effect. i will never be happy that innocent people died#but people are wrong to say it was because they're jewish and muslims/palestinians/arabs hate jews. furthers the us vs them#they were already being killed and there's a reason colonized ppl & BIPOC see through the propaganda#the âthey kill babies and rape women and hate you for how you were born and want to take things from you!â#we are familiar with it bc this isn't the first time it's happened and we remember the result of that mentality#and how it was weaponized#when i say mention it i do not mean above the current genocide. but we know how serious the holocaust was#the scale the lasting impact the destruction the things that were uncovered so much later#there is no âaftermathâ of gaza yet bc the genocide is ongoing but we've seen the aftermath of genocide before#if we ignore the parallel we are forgetting history and there's a saying about those who forget history#free palestine#palestine#gaza#free gaza

sending an email saying that i will be absent in observance of Tisha Bâav and getting a goyische response ending with âEnjoy the holiday!â
#look i get that the fact is that non-Jews simply donât know what Jewish holidays are and that this was well-intentioned#but i wish it werenât that way#at the very least it takes one preliminary google to know that this is literally the saddest day on our calendar#trust me i would rather be out in the world right now but unfortunately we are still mourning and still in golus so no i will not âenjoyâ#again not mad at this person#just a funny little thing that comes with being a Yid amongst the nations i suppose#mine#yiddishkeit#feel free to interact
