#antisemitism is not allowed on this blog!

[southasianpercy]

Delete your blog, you antisemitic turd.

being against israel and being anti-zionist are not antisemitic. that mindset sets a harmful precedent for jewish people as a whole.

zionism is a nationalist movement that supports ethnic cleansing and genocide. israel is a colonial power that shouldn’t exist in the first place and has committed multiple war crimes against a country (palestine) that does not have a conventional military/army/airforce.

this is not a religious conflict. this is not a war. this is a genocide. fuck off, zionist scum.

for some reason this week, I’ve been seeing plenty of Lilith appropriation for some odd time—arguing with it a lot. My biggest question for anyone wanting to defend Lilith being open is this:

Why do you want to argue that she’s open?

I have never ever seen one good reason to it. Judaism has faced several genocides, expulsions, and unmeasurable suffering. Even if she was open, why cling to being from a people that have suffered so much? That fought so hard to keep themselves alive and going, to keep their sacred scrolls intact? You cannot prove spirituality exists, but what you know is that people exist. And Jewish people deserve to have their identity respected.

Especially when there are open beings like Babalon, Aphrodite, Bellona, Kotys, etc that all can embody dark femininity. Especially Bellona if you’re going for a violent femininity angle. Just. Why?

I absolutely adore how safe I feel in my offline (and, to an extent, online) jewish spaces. What I don't adore is why I only really feel safe in those spaces (jew hatred is so vapid)

idk man i've reblogged and said things about how certain people on this site and the bird one are putin defenders, syrian/ukranian genocide deniers, outright white supremacists, avowed antisemites, etc. pointed out the ways in which the current moment is being happily hijacked by white supremacists with very strong and obvious agendas. and some of you guys have reblogged and liked those posts, and then immediately gone on to continue reblogging violently antisemitic things from the very same people. so i don't think it's sinking in tbh

(and like, the posts in question are never anything useful or links to articles or anything remotely "worth" platforming genocide deniers, just the usual "DON'T SCROLL PAST THIS, POSTING IS ACTIVISM" shit)

[sweetdreamspootypie]

Ah yes

Ye olde call out post for someone [checks notes] talking about antisemitism but not making any public posts discussing israel, zionism, or Palestine

How dare you not performatively beg to be seen as a 'good jew' and how dare you call yourself a Jew without amending a required 'antizionist' label to yourself every single time you refer to yourself

Especially in [checks notes] posts where you discuss the inherent issues or requiring Jews to label themselves as 'good' before being allowed the conditional acceptance of talking about their own experience on their own blog.

I am someone who is willing to talk about my my thoughts and feelings about the state of Israel. I've got a post in my drafts that is 10 paragraphs long that is just the contextual preamble trying to get to the point of talking about one thought I had while at a community event.

And I'm a blog with 3 active followers, and I'm at the beginning of my explorations of how all the concepts relate to me as an individual

Of course a Jewish blog with a large following might not make public posts about current events

On the other hand you could say oh but posting about it is the /least/ you could do

How do you know they aren't posting elsewhere? How do you know they aren't doing other actions?

Also

And I can't stress them enough

One of the screenshotted posts calling them out for being an eevil zionist

Was them talking about the antisemitism they experienced

While at a protest march for Palestine

Hear ye hear ye add the Jew to the block list for the crime of not calling themselves an antizionist while actively on the ground protesting for Palestine and realizing there were Nazis around them

[hilacopter]

god I really hope blocking someone blocks them from all your blogs

[haruchicken]

That @whenmagicfilledtheair blogs blatant antisemitism while simultaneously denying it scares the shit out of me.

Yeah, they are by far the worst I've seen.

The thing that I find the most frustrating about people like them, and why I even bothered to comment on their pinned post is that they demand answers to questions, but do so already knowing nothing anyone says will appease them. They are not looking for a debate or even open to changing their mind in anyway. You can see that if you look through their blog and see how they respond to anyone trying to provide them with evidence of their antisemitism.

That's why I didn't try to answer their pinned post, because I'm not going to spend hours going through their their blog taking screenshots and then compiling my own sources for why what they said is wrong or antisemitic when they will just deny anything they don't agree with as wrong or Israeli propaganda.

The thing is, it's easy to criticize Israel without being antisemitic--just look at how other Israelis have been doing it for years. But that's not what this person wants--they want to paint Israel as the most evil country on Earth, with the most evil people, who do uniquely evil things that no other country has ever done before.

I'm not Israeli, I'm not even Jewish, so for the most part I haven't said anything about this war. I come to Tumblr for memes, art and fandom shit. Yet, the rise of Antisemitism is really worrying me, especially when it's so easily brushed off with the excuse that it's just Israeli propaganda.

Like, I just don't understand why it's so hard to admit that, yeah, given how old antisemitism and how it's shaped a lot of cultures worldwide that it's possible some of it has slipped into the 'free Palestine' movement. This doesn't mean it's an inherently bad movement or that Palestinians deserve to die or lose their homes. It just means that maybe sometimes people should take a step back and see if some of their inherent biases have effected how they talk about this war as opposed to others that do not involve the Jewish State of Israel.

I am once again asking Chrumblr to stop being buddy-buddy with antisemites

[answersfromzestual]

Do NOT speak about the conflict in the middle East, last time I'm saying it. I will instantly block you. If you have comments keep them to yourself. This is at the end of the day my blog, my hard work, it is a privilege to use my blog, not a right.

This blog is not political, I will not tolerate comments and reblogs that are inappropriate.

Keep political feelings off my posts and blog and everything will be fine.

You responded to my anon showing a definetion that no where mentioned an ethnostate or elimination of Palestinians, I don't know how that supports your point. Also Jews are literally indigenous, most of our holidays talk about Israel. Supporting the existence of a state isn't the same as supporting it's actions? And Palestine wasn't a thing until Roman imperialism. I do not support the actions of Israel but as a Jewish person it is extremely hurtful that you would ignore our history and culture while saying "antisemetism isn't welcome here." Zionism has always existed, it just wasn't named until the 1800s. I agree that Palestinians should be given human rights and a say over the land, but that isn't an anti-Zionist idea

the definition i was showing was a definition of zionism to show why being a zionist is supporting israel when you were saying that you can be a zionist and not support israel’s actions. israel is a zionist state and zionism was coined to “enable the establishment of a homeland for the jewish people in palestine.” and israel was only established in 1948 by the british.

also, by definition, israel is an ethnostate and its existence inherently calls for the elimination of palestinians or any other group if they were to establish israel somewhere else.

i mentioned palestinians AND jews are indigenous to the land that is now called palestine. palestine may have not been a thing until roman imperialism but the palestinian people had always been there. supporting the existence of israel is supporting their actions because everything they’ve done in the past 75 years has been an attempt to ethnically cleanse palestine.

israel was established on other people’s land who are similarly indigenous to said land. the difference is that palestinians (jewish, christian, and muslim palestinians) never left. and palestinians never started this, they accepted the jewish immigrants with open arms. it was the establishment of the state of israel where land was violently taken from palestinian people that started this.

being jewish doesn’t mean you have to be a zionist. jewish and zionist are not synonymous with each other. i do not view every jewish person as a zionist and not every zionist is jewish.

A popular sex ed blog has decided trans men & mascs aren't allowed to use our own words to describe our own oppression, and seems to be deleting replies and asks that say otherwise, so I've decided to take my ramble over to main.

Regarding TMA/TME language, they've brought up a couple of times how "exempt" means "set apart" rather than "never experiences transmisogyny ever," and how words can have multiple definitions (this post). So it's best to hear people out before jumping to bad-faith interpretations of their words.

However, they also say, "misandry is a term for the 'oppression of men based on gender'" (this post) as a reason why "transmisandry" can never be used.

That is one definition of misandry, yes, but as they pointed out, words can have multiple definitions! Regarding the oppression against trans men & mascs, misandry is generally used to mean the literal "hatred of men," and people in these discussions don't believe that misandry is an axis of systemic oppression (which has been stated over and over).

Yes, it has negative connotations, which is why people more often use transandrophobia or anti-transmasculinity instead. (This poll shows more specifically which terms are most preferred.) But that doesn't mean people who use the term transmisandry are MRAs or believe in the MRA concept of misandry.

Transmisandry is not claiming a combination of systemic transphobia and "systemic misandry," but hatred against trans men & mascs for being trans men/masc. Again, many people prefer other terms that leave less room for that misinterpretation, but people who do use the term transmisandry aren't responsible for others repeatedly ignoring their actual explanations of the term.

In general, arguing over the words rather than the concepts is a very common way to silence people who are trying to talk about their oppression. Jews talking about antisemitism get dismissed because "You're not Semitic, you're from Poland." Aromantic and asexual people get dismissed because "Aphobia literally means 'fear of nothing,' that's a stupid term." And trans men & mascs get told "You can't use that word to talk about your oppression, it's problematic." (Time and time again, and every time we pick a new word, that one gets called problematic too; it's almost like the problem was never really the word?) The words get picked apart but people don't listen to what we're actually saying, the ways we're suffering.

In their own words, from this post: "Do you have to like the language? No. Do you have to respect the way and language oppressed people have chosen to speak about their oppression? Yes. Yes, you do."

Trans men & mascs shouldn't be an exception to your respect.

So, today I reblogged someone with "Jewish" as part of their user name, and I did not add anything to their post. This person was saying "You can be Pro-Israel AND Pro-Palestine because it's about human beings, not little dolls for you to play with." And, I thought this was a very succient way to explain the issue.

Literally not five minutes later, someone reblogged my reblog to argue that it isn't antisemitic to be against Israel because Israel is on land that should belong to Palestine.

Keep in mind: The person I reblogged from was NOT saying a fucking thing except that Israel and Palestine both have a right to exist. In fact, I have made at least a few posts from this here blog making the exact same point. That both countries have a right to exist.

But no one's ever tried to ride my ass on me saying that.

And yet, I reblog a person who clearly identifies as Jewish, and suddenly, oh, someone's got THOUGHTS. Antisemitic thoughts. Because the actual OP said Israel and Palestine have a right to exist, and this person turned it into "You're fine with Israel occupying territory that isn't theirs" which is literally NOT what was being said.

I blocked the person instantly because that's what I do when bigots show up in my feed. I wish I hadn't though. I wish I'd paused just long enough to reblog and point out how fucking antisemitic it is to see "Israel has a right to exist" and immediately turn it into how Israel as an idea and a country are untrustworthy and dangerous.

But I didn't. And OP turned off their reblogs, so I can't reblog the post and add this to it. But I'm adding it here. Because if you see someone say "Israel has a right to exist" and someone else immediately go into a whole little rant about how no, it doesn't, one of these people is a fucking bigot. And it's the fucker who said Israel shouldn't be allowed to exist.

There's apparently some claims coming out about Christopher Columbus supposedly being Jewish. Now, I'm no geneticist but everything I've seen has made it evry clear that if this isn't just an outright lie, the science and methods of the researchers are EXTREMELY dubious and the genetics community has, overall, made it very clear that they do not recognize these claims as legitimate because there is no actual evidence being offered and the researchers involved have not released any papers or been peer-reviewed before they made these claims public.

I firmly see these claims as a form of antisemitism and another part of a very, very long history of trying to make horrible historical figures out to be Jewish to allow white society to wipe their hands clean of responsibility. I wanted to talk about this real quick though because I've seen A LOT of antisemitism and antisemitic conspiracy theories in Native communities and I'm once again making it very clear that that shit will not be tolerated on this blog.

Christopher Columbus was not Jewish. Colonialism of the Americas cannot be blamed on "the evil Jews." We are being pitted against each other and we can't afford to fall for it.

[vampire-rodeo]

If you don’t support palestine, if you don’t boycott and you don’t stand against colonialism and genocide, you are not allowed on my blog. Do not reply or reblog my posts with zionist arguments, do not reply or reblog my posts with antisemitism or islamophobia. Again, if you do any of these things your comments will be deleted and you will be blocked.

So many ppl here are so lame and always fail to read between the lines or just straight up enable propaganda.. like ppl straight up just love to reblog from zionists unchecked, as if palestinian resistance is in tandem with antisemitism. Everytime someone invokes antisemitism on this website it's never about how antizionist Jews in Germany and the US are getting arrested left and right, it's never about how Jews protesting genocide are literally shunned from entire Jewish communities, no it's always about "wow look at these evil Palestinian activists hating Jews source:dude trust me".. you got entire zionist blogs here who post the rubble in gaza, captioned "for he who sows the wind reaps the whirlwind" and then in the next post invoke a millenia of our peoples suffering you all fall for it. Every time. The problem also is that so many of you view arabs as one singular monolith so a zionist talking point is also how little Jews there are in the world, all stuck in one tiny nation surrounded by arabs. When in truth Israel discouraged the many many cultures of the Jewish world to flourish, to the point *yiddish* was banned, if you look at the conservation efforts for a lot of jewish languages like Ladino and Yevanic, very very few of them are in Israel, if it is a safe place for Jews then how come so much of Jewish culture is discouraged in the name of one, singular, modern ethnostate ? How come the Russian girl who was converting to Judaism who was killed on October 10 not allowed to be buried in a Jewish cemetery? And it is bizarre how so many of you are seeing Egyptians turning into literal millionaires, charging gazans trying to escape genocide 10k usd or more per person and still have the chutzpah to think all arabs are like this enigmatic and allied force, which is an orientalized brain in motion. My g-d. Thousands and thousands of years of enduring. Only to end up like this. I really cannot believe this is where we are at. I cannot believe it. I only have to hope this is not it. The heart fucking shatters.

How do you think one should criticize Israel without crossing into antisemitism, sorry if you’ve already answered this question

Dear Tired-Vi

I have explained this many times

the basic rule is the three Ds

Dehumanization

"dirty Jewish rats" - popular in Europe

"zionist dogs" - Popular in Swana

claiming Jews lack compassion due to genetics

any statement where you think Jews are lesser including ones where you believe that Jews see you as vermin or cattle and turnabout is fair play. We don't and it's not

Delegitization

claiming Jews are worse than nazis

claiming we don't know what antisemtism is

claiming your opponent isn't actually Jewish

claiming Israel has no right to exist

Double Standarts

"If Putin bombs hospitals it's fine but when Bibi does I want to nuke tel-aviv"

"the Uyghuyr prison camps and the North Korean gulags are fine but Sde Teiman is not"

when a person wants to destroy all states, that's consistency when they treat Israel as the only place commiting war crimes and doing colonialism that's hypocrisy

Also don't compare anyone especially Jews to Nazis, it's a bad look and it feeds into your desparate need to say that Jews have come full circle and need another holocaust

here are some political statements that are NOT antisemitic:

Sde Teiman is the Gauntanomo bay of Israel and the fact that both are still operating is deeply disturbing

one of the reasons gentile terfs like Israel is because it lets themselves project onto female IDF soldiers hurting and killing men (often with the racial aspect of them being non white men)

the Israeli government's descent into racism and conservatism and using the war to do is so is quite concerning

carpet bombing an enemy infamous for using human shields will result in the inevitable deaths and speaks to a disregard to "collateral damage" and life

a Person from the West bank or Gaza will likely not be able to have a civil conversation with any Israeli of any group for likely 50 years

followers are allowed to add their own but know that I WILL use my blog gimmick if you accidentally (or intentionally) veer into antisemitism

yours,

Cecil
