also like okay it's not like The Worst Thing In The World but I am disappointed that I found a book by a Mizrahi Jew that seemed like it'd be a very interesting read ("The Wrong Kind Of Jew: A Mizrahi Manifesto") because the Jewish world can be EXTREMELY Ashke-centric from what's considered stereotypically Jewish features to the Jewish branches (largely an Ashke thing, Mizrahim & Sephardim AFAIK don't really have branches) to traditional Jewish foods etc, and I googled the author (Hen Mazzig) to learn more about him and he's a a pretty hardcore Zionist who also pushes information not based in reality and like... again I'm not saying this is the worst thing in the world, but like... it's disappointing you know?
#noah.txt#idk I feel silly for being like... ''it's disappointing trying to find educational material related to my religion/ethnicity that#also isn't coming from someone whose beliefs directly impact my Palestinian loved ones AND Palestinians I don't know but care about#because I'm a human being who knows right from wrong and also knows that a country's existence is not more important than human life#which is ALSO congruent with Jewish philosophy/teachings so NO z*****t belief is NOT Jewish belief''#and like... it's also disappointing feeling alienated in religious Jewish circles b/c z*****m is treated like a fixed part of Judaism#it's not!!! it's fucking not!!! and it's like... how are RABBIS out here acting like absolute fucking CLOWNS#when they of all fucking people should know Judaism and Jewish belief/teachings! z*****m is NOT compatible with Jewish belief/teachings!#and like is this the first time people have misappropriated religion (even their OWN religion) to support their beliefs?#not at all! not at fucking all! but it doesn't change the fact that it IS disappointing and upsetting when your religion/ethnicity#(whether it's Judaism or Islam) is misappropriated by people/groups who twist it to support their beliefs
