It's not the Israeli government that failed the hostages through lack of care, it's the rest of the damn world that did. Talk about doublethink level bullshit

If you actually care to listen to the majority of hostage families, they will tell you that the Israeli government absolutely did fail them. Netanyahu refused to hear their cries for a hostage deal and started viewing the hostage families as a whole as a nuisance. The rallies for hostages in Israel were often brutalized by police, and some hostage family members who even used to be fans of Netanyahu completely changed their views based on how he and his buddies treated them. Netanyahu wanted an unrealistic “total victory” against Hamas where he didn’t give a shit how many hostages were sacrificed for his nonsensical “goals” in the process. Me and every Jew I know want Hamas destroyed, but Netanyahu went about it in a way that killed numerous hostages and innocent Palestinian civilians. He is faaaaar right. There were even members of the government who voted against THIS DEAL TODAY. Of course the world also failed the hostages. I still feel betrayed by the world as a Jewish person and will probably need therapy for it. But that doesn’t erase the Israeli government’s huge failures.

There's so much fucking antisemitism everywhere all the time.

When I've done things to show support for black antiracist movements, nobody ever told me that I'm black and pretending to be white.

When I've done things to show support for Muslims experiencing Islamophobia, nobody ever told me that I'm Muslim and pretending not to be.

When I've done things to show support for Ukrainians, nobody told me that I'm secretly Ukrainian.

When I've done things to show support for Asians experiencing anti-Asian racism, nobody told me that I'm secretly Asian.

Yet, when I've done things to show support for Jewish people experiencing antisemitism, people have accused me, on multiple occasions, of being Jewish.

Jewish people are portrayed as unreliable narrators of their own experiences. Collective gaslighting has convinced many people that antisemitism is overblown. All while statements that would be immediately flagged as racist, if said about any other group, are tolerated if said about Jews.

It's so plain to see. I mean, if I (a non-Jew) have been accused of being Jewish in order to discredit me, what does that suggest about how people frame the reliability of Jewish people?

people stop being antisemitic for one fucking second challenge (impossible)

What irks me so so much about the Pro Palestine movement and how it took place on my college campus was just how it... fizzled out.

In fall 2024, we've entered the new school year, and knock-on-wood, harassing Jews is not the go-to activism now.

Which I am elated about- we no longer have to hide the locations of events so stringently or keep our heads down in classes, fearing someone will catch us and know. And demand for us to answer for our supposed crimes.

But what stands out to me is that this activism only came from a place of anger they wanted to let out like a rabid animal. Teenagers and twenty-somethings wearing keffiyehs they bought from Amazon screamed about the evils of Zionism. They rattled their signs and beat their drums. They vandalized and attacked. There was nothing held back.

And you know what I never saw? I never saw a bake sale, or any sort of fundraising for Gazans. I never saw food drives for local refugees. There was nothing tangible. There was only a vehement rage for a cause they didn't seem to really care about.

Because they didn't care about the people suffering and dying- they just wanted an excuse to be angry at someone and that "someone" was Jews.

But they got their encampments with machine gun doodles and "glory to the resistance" on their posters. They got their yelling out and their pretty pictures they'll save for their children one day- "Look, Mommy was an activist!"

But you know what sustained me, just a bit? I tried to believe that my peers were in the end well intentioned. That they didn't mean to hurt us. That this was all an awful trick being played and that their goal at the end of the day was a more equal world and end to tangible suffering.

But now- their keffiyehs are abandoned and only taken out for a little progressive fashion statement, paired with pink go-go boots. They are so painfully apathetic, it hurts me.

And I think- I really think- the next time they'll pick up their picket signs again is when Jews get hurt, either in Israel or the diaspora. And they'll line up once more to cheer for it.

Leftists: Everyone is a little bigoted. Bigotry is deeply integrated into our society. Everyone picks up on it. You have to actively unlearn it. Check your bias. Your intentions might be good, but you're not immune to bigotry learnt since childhood. Even if you're an activist already. Even if you have friends from the minority. Listen to marginalized voices. Take the critisism. This is the only way to overcome our internalized prejudices.

Jews: Hey so–

Leftists: ZIONIST!!

The fuck did I just read?

I sorry, but you think a small conflict inside an area the size of NYC is escalating the Climate Crisis, than you're a fucking idiot.

Judanhass has literally ruined all these people's brains, my g-d.

Closet antisemites/racists love bringing up that the swastika is a Buddhist peace symbol (as if they give a shit about buddhism) like yeah it is but the skinhead white guy with a swastika tattoo isn't a Buddhist and the edgy teenagers who painted a swastika on a wall aren't Buddhists and you need to use the tiniest dash of critical thinking and common sense.

In a Buddhist temple its a peace symbol, scratched on some guys house its a hate symbol . And stop telling Jews they are being dramatic or chronically online for being upset/disturbed/scared or annoyed by swastikas!!

I'm still in shock.

Our Holocaust museum has just released a statement mourning the death of my colleague, Alex Dancyg. That's how I just found out that he and another hostage have been confirmed as having been killed months ago in Hamas captivity, and their bodies are still held hostage.

We just observed Alex's 76th birthday yesterday, not knowing he will forever be 75 years old.

Alex was born in Poland in 1948, to parents who had survived the Holocaust. He was a peace supporter. He was a man of humor, and a lover of Yiddish. He was a husband, father and grandpa. He was a farmer with a deep connection to the land. He was passionate about learning in general, and loved sharing his knowledge generously with everyone he knew. He had heart problems and was not receiving his medications from Hamas. He was a true educator about the Holocaust, helping to establish youth trips to Poland, to teach the youth about the horrors of the genocide against the Jews that took place there, but also about Jewish life in Poland before all hell broke loose. He was an educator against the kind of hatred that led to the Holocaust. It's hard to accept that this type of hatred killed him, too.

Goodbye, Alex. May your memory be a blessing. Actually, I know it will be. You'll forever be with us. 💔

This morning, it was discovered that, during the night, two dozen of red handprints have been painted on the Wall of the Justs.

The Wall of the Justs is part of the Parisian Memorial of the Shoah: it is the list of the names of nearly four thousand men and women who helped protect and save Jews during the Occupation of France by the Nazis.

Tell me again how the red handprint is "definitively not used by antisemites or for antisemitic purposes"? And tell me, please, how defacing this memorial (which is not even to the memory of Jews, but to the memory of those that stood up against the Nazis) will help Palestine in any way?

... Maybe you can't, because this is proof that, for some person, it is not about Palestine at all. They don't care about bringing food or medical help to Gaza. They just see an opportunity to express their own hate.

Everybody has been saying this, and I will concur: most of these people are either antisemites, or uneducated ignorants who are so short-sighted they don't even realize how bad their own actions look, and thus soil the very cause they want to defend.

At best, they wanted to say something about how pro-Palestinians are "the Resistance" but failed monstrously at carrying the message because they DEFACED A SHOAH MEMORIAL. At worst, they wanted us to understand what is the only thing to be read here: "These people who saved the Jews in World War II have blood on their hands now." And this is such a vile and nauseating message.

I hope the hostages can learn to trust again. I would feel betrayal for the rest of my life knowing my government could have brought me home much sooner if they had cared to, learning how shittily the hostage families have been treated while begging for a deal, and knowing a significant chunk of the world either didn’t care about me or thought I deserved it for my nationality and religion. I also wonder if any of these women were forced to have babies in captivity and what happens to them. I doubt Hamas would want to disclose that

Peace be upon you Jews of Jumblr!

With the rise of antisemitism, and one of my favorite things about my Muslim faith being zakat(prescribed charity giving), what are some charities you would like me to give to in these trying times?

I've seen plenty of places to donate to help Palestinians, but I haven't seen anything to help any of you Jews that are facing antisemitism as backlash to all of this.

Forgive me if it has passed, but I know it's around Passover(I believe that's the holiday going on right around now?) And I'm sure there are Synagogues or Jewish charities that could use some donations.(at least I think. I know that Churches and Christian charities take donations around Christmas and Easter.)

I'd truly like to help all who are affected by this war. Whether it be Isreali Jews in Isreal, or diaspora Jews(I think that's the term? What I mean is, Jews who do not live in Isreal) who are struggling with increased antisemitism.

No charity is too niche, though I may not be able to donate to all of them, as I am on SSDI(a form of disability) so it's not like I have hundreds or thousands to throw around. But I know that anything can help.

Love, your friendly disabled queer Muslim with all the questions.
