hey hi dont follow me you zionist scum. 💀

hey hi i just liked your takes on kingdom hearts, but apparently since i have the audacity to believe that hamas is bad, islamism is bad, jews should have sovereignty in the levant, and palestinian society needs to unlearn a ton of genocidal rhetoric which is ruining the lives of palestinian children by making them martyrs, you have blocked me. why did you even use anon. i followed you two minutes ago. and also i feel like you're proud of having blocked me so idk why you would wanna hide. you are missing out, when it comes to ventus we share the same brain, we could've had it all

For all my friends going back to school this week, and in the coming weeks.

[researchgate]

Although I don't live in Israel, as a Persian Jew born and living in France I really appreciate your reblogs recently, it seems most of radblr is choosing to gaslight many Jewish users that NOBODY is attacking Jewish people and ONLY criticising Israeli government, while I and many other Jewish people I know are facing extreme antisemitism on the daily that only gets worse. I've had coworkers «joke» in various different ways basically that I should have my will written up for when Palestine reclaims their land because all «colonisers» [Israeli = Jewish as usual] deserve to be killed -- which is the mildest example. Seeing claims that no antisemitism is happening as a result of the pro-Hamas state of the internet and media is so ignorant and shows that most of these people are not Jewish nor do they know any Jewish people. Being Jewish is stressful on person and online and yet most responses are like «You people have only yourselves to blame» or calling us Zionists if we dare call out antisemitism, it's disgusting and as usual feels incredibly isolating. It makes me very relieved to have another Jewish woman on here like you who is so well-spoken! <3

Hi! Thank you so much for this, I'm so glad I could give you some relief.

I follow less than 40 blogs so I don't see most of the hate, but I surely believe this is the sentiment in general given how it is outside radblr, and what friends of mine told me happens on radblr itself. It's terrible and seeing some notes on posts is just... Despairing. It's clear none of them ever gave an actual damn about the conflict until they could celebrate the rape of Jewish women, and the slaughter of innocent Jewish civilians.

Antisemitism has always been a problem for diaspora Jews, regardless of the country, and it is undeniable it's gotten worse ever since Hamas has invaded Israel with the sole purpose of killing jews. People online are maliciously happy and proud of that, and as much as we like to call them "keyboard warriors" these are real people who not only espouse their opinions online, but live these opinions in real life too, thus posing a direct, active danger to Jews as possible offenders at worst, and at best, they'd be bystanders who film/encourage/watch silently attacks against Jews in real life.

These people never liked the idea of Jews existing, that much is clear. And when it comes to radblr, it seems they forget some important feminists were Jewish themselves. Instead they go full Judith Butler and call Hamas a liberation/resistance movement just because the latter is in their name (Harakat al muqawamah al Islamiyah — Islamic Resistance Movement), whereas they know to call out things like liberal feminism nit being feminism. It's honestly irritating at the very least.

The media and reaction to it is another interesting (and by interesting I mean very much predictable) case: when it's pto Hamas, no one bats an eye, people share al Jazeera, Middle East Eye, etc. articles without viewing them with even a little bit of critical thinking. But when a news source is clearly anti Hamas (not even pro Israel!), it's suddenly pro Israel and Zionist and the sentiment is terribly close to "Jews control the media." I'm not saying there weren't reports that were meant for just shock value (that's literally how news media work), but it was still very interesting to see people go back to antisemitic tropes. Predictable, too.

In the UK, security on Jewish schools has been strengthened in fear of violence against kids, but people would blame "Israel's treatment of the Palestinians" for that, which is full on victim blaming and antisemitism: they're jewish; Jewish = Israel; Israel = bad → jewish = bad like Israel → Israel deserves punishment → Jews deserve punishment.

The fact that the solution for Jews is to walk outside without anything that can mark them as Jewish is not too different to the idea that "she shouldn't have dressed in provocative outfit," which again, puts the blame and responsibility on the victim.

The fact that calling out any form of antisemitism is seen as Zionism is, however, not just the fault of antisemites in my opinion, because Token Jews allow themselves to ignore antisemitic notions within the movements which tokenize them, and allow people to think only Zionist (non-token) Jews care about antisemitism. It's vile, and just wrong. It's especially wring since Zionism isn't even what they think it is, they just think all Jews who protest or call out antisemitism is like that absolute scum Ben-Gvir (who is actually partially responsible for the situation right now, but I digress). It's so disheartening to see and even moreso to experience, of that I'm certain. The ""joke"" about the will for instance, is just absolutely vile and disgusting, although it accidentally acknowledges the fact Hamas wants total annihilation of Jews and not just the "Zionist Entity" as the 2017 revision of their charter suggests.

I'm sorry if I didn't address all of your points, your ask is very loaded, as is expected given the circumstances, and me being unfortunately not very well-dpoken means I probably couldn't treat it with all the due eloquence it deserves. For what it's worth, though, I did try my best.

Being Jewish, especially in the diaspora, is always stressful, but the current situation sure has made it worse ten-fold. Again, I'm glad I could offer some relief for at least the online experience. Myaskbox and DMs are always open if you want to share anything, or just need an ear for your frustrations. Given my situation, I cannot imagine yours but I can sympathize and offer my utmost patience and efforts to understand.

Thank you again for this meaningful ask, here's hoping for somewhat better, somewhat safer days to come as soon as possible. My thoughts are also with the diaspora Jews, at these truly trying times. 💙

Am Yisrael Chai, and we will outlive them.

today is Yom HaShoah - Jewish Holocaust Rememberance Day

check on your Jewish friends. and if you're Jewish, be gentle on yourself as you remember our dead and murdered, those who went to their deaths alongside our people, and those who perished trying to help us survive (may all their memories be a blessing), and be sure to take breaks and avoid doomscrolling.

I'm checking out from Tumblr for the rest of the day, because I was caught in a doomscrolling loop until a friend saw it and poked me about it.

we will outlive them. am Yisrael chai.

edit: this post is for all Jews, including converts and converts-in-progress 💙

Not a rant but I’m proud of us for still being here. There is so much hate and misery in the world, but we have survived and will survive. Am Yisrael Chai ✡️💙

"PALESTINIAN society needs to unlearn a lot of genocidal rhetoric" HELLO??? There's literally a genocide in palestine, are you fucking kidding me? A lot of jews in israel are literally protesting against said genocide, don't you fucking dare to pull the whole "uwu everyone is antisemitic towards me for ignoring that the israeli government is actively committing genocide". Nothing justifies the murder of countless innocent lives at the hand of brainwashed soldiers. Nothing. If you can't realize that, please go outside for a bit and touch some fucking grass and unlearn the propaganda that has been fed to you.

wow we're on fire today aren't we? don't know if you're the same person from the last ask but i do not have the energy to turn out my pockets for you (if anyone wants to do that in the replies/reblogs i wish y'all the best of luck fr) so just have this video of "brainwashed soldiers" (which you probably won't watch anyway, but i sincerely recommend that you do)

Corporal Aharon Shmuel Bryce Was Critically Injured on october 18, 2023 when an RPG Hit on His Tank.  The Doctor in the Helicopter Gave Him No Chance... But He Fought Like a Lion, Endured a Long Journey of Surgeries, Reconstructions, and Rehabilitation.  Today, 10 Months Later, He Rejoined His Platoon, Still in Gaza, in the Very Tank Where He Was Injured!!!

Wishing safety for you and your family right now. Am yisrael chai 💙

Thank you so much, dear! Hope you're doing well, and Amen, Am Yisrael chai! <3

And to anyone celebrating (or observing) it - happy Rosh Ha'Shana! We keep saying that we'll dance again, and making sure that we find joy in the high holidays in this new year feels like taking the first step in this new dance. So I'll add two more traditional greetings, the latter feeling esecially apt right now: Shana tova u'metuka! (a good and sweet [new] year) May a year and its curses end, may a year and its blessings begin... xoxox

I was driving home from school (I only go to synagogue on the first day of rosh hashanah, not the second) and I see an chabadnik (i say in an affectionate tone) family, looking so happy but also worried.

Rolled down my windows and yelled, "Shana tova!"

The couple smiled at me and the kids laughed in delight. "Shana tova!" they yelled back.

I kept driving and they kept walking, but they looked so happy.

It's the small moments

ive had multiple goyim that I considered friends side with hamas and the betrayal ive been feeling is sickening. i live in a town with an extremely small Jewish community and ive been feeling so isolated and have delt with a lot of casual antisemitism, especially lately. thank you for being so vocal and advocating for us, it's given me some courage to keep wearing my magen david and my tichel in the face of everything. am yisrael chai <3

Pride dispells ignorance. You being openly Jewish dispells ignorance. You could be making someone else feel safe just by being yourself 💙

[fuck-hamas-go-israel]

Amongst the negativity that’s going on in the world, I thought I’d share something positive to hopefully make you smile as much as I did experiencing this.

I had the fortune of attending a jazz concert recently.

The pianist of the jazz trio that performed is Jewish and has been outspoken on social media about how Hamas should return the hostages and condemning the violence and evil spread by Hamas. I shan’t reveal his identity for the sake of his safety.

As there is no Jewish community in the city I currently live in, it’s been lonely being the only Jewish person in the area. It’s also been scary to go out given the global rise of antisemitism.

That was until this amazing concert, where the trio played their next jazz number, which was a classic jazz standard. In the middle of the song, the pianist sneakily interpolated the classic Israeli folk song “Hine Ma Tov” into the number to show his support for Israel and our people.

It was sort of a nudge-wink, those who get it get it kind of moment. I’m not sure if anyone else in the audience caught it, but my neshama certainly did and it made me feel a wave of nachat and solidarity 💙🤍🇮🇱

Am Yisrael Chai!

These women are true heroes!!!!

[my-jewish-life]

When someone converts to Islam : "Congrats! Mashallah sister/brother" - When someone convert to Judaism : "What's your opinion on whats going on in Gaza ? do you support Israel ? Are you a Zionist ?" Does anyone know what we're supposed to say ?

Shalom!

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond!

But I totally feel you, what's happen to you is so wrong and so discusting. If it happen to any other minority, people would freak out and scream on the streets. The world is getting scarier and scarier with barely anyone here to support or protect us. But we will survive, we always have.

To those questions, I don't know how to anwser and we shouldn't even have to anwser to that, you are right. But I do know one thing, both you and me are coming home. Home to a people who will welcome us with open arms, home to a place our souls have missed for a long time.

If you need someone to talk to, my dm's are always open anon💙

Am Yisrael Chai ✡️
