#as much as I love to joke about stealing the menorah back from the christians

[magnetothemagnificent]

Thinking about how the menorah and all the other sacred treasures looted from the Beit HaMikdash were probably melted down at some point in history. How the very foundations of the Western world are literally funded by the colonization and subjugation of Jews. Their cities are built by our labour, banks run on the backs of our marginalization, the precious metals of our Temple melted into their coins and crowns and extravagant crucifixes.

Thinking about how in many European and Middle Eastern cities they have multiple stone pathways made from broken jewish gravestones
