The most ironic thing about Spain-Nazi Germany is that Spain at one point had some bullfighting to celebrate the arrival of Heinrich Himmler - the guy who basically made the Holocaust happen, so you know, very "neutral" of Franco to want him coming to party in Spain
And without a single bit of self-reflection, Himmler got very upset at the barbarity of the bullfighting
That's the kind of thing that if you saw it in a book it would feel almost too on the nose
#I mean don't get me wrong bullfighting IS bloody and cruel#but have some shame my dude#he clutched his pearls all the way back to auschwitz you just know he did

During last year’s Chanukkah, I toured Yad Vashem. My tour guide ended with a story that will probably stick with me for the rest of my life.
A Jewish father and his son are held prisoner in Auschwitz— they are lucky, all things considered. Most Jews were gassed upon arrival. The Nazi guards instruct the prisoners that they have to dig mass graves for their fellow Jews every day. The father is appalled by this, of course, but he doesn’t have much choice. A week goes by, and the father and the son are subjected to horrors they could not have imagined before. The first Friday evening in Auschwitz, the father goes to his son and says, “I cannot work on Shabbat. I will not dig graves for Jews on Shabbat. For all my other reservations, I cannot do it, because the Talmud forbids it.” The son is barely fourteen, but he knows that if his father refuses to work, then his father will die. So he goes to meet another prisoner, a former Rabbi. The son pleads with the Rabbi to help his father see sense, and so the Rabbi and the son go together to meet with the father.
“The Talmud forbids us to work on Shabbat,” the Rabbi says, “but pikuach nefesh overrides Talmudic law when a life is in danger. Your life is in danger. Your son’s life is in danger. You are allowed to work on Shabbat.” The father begrudgingly agrees, and he saves his family’s life by digging mass graves on the day of rest.
A few months go by, and the Nazis are running low on food, so they start grinding pig hooves and guts into the slop that gets fed to the prisoners at Auschwitz. The father finds out about this and begins to starve himself. “G-d commands in the Torah us not to eat pork,” he says. The son, out of concern for his father, gets the Rabbi again. “Pikuach nefesh overrides the Torah as well as the Talmud. You must eat, for your life and for your son’s sake. Eat what is given to you. G-d will overlook violating kosher if it means surviving in a place like this.” So the father starts to eat what he is given.
Miraculously, the father and the son survive until winter. There’s never enough food for all the prisoners in Auschwitz to eat, and so there are frequent fights over scraps, but the most valuable thing in the slop is fat. Fat can keep you warmer in the winter, and it can be used to cover up and heal small injuries. If the Nazi guards noticed so much as a scratch on you, they would send you to the gas chambers that same day. Fat was gold in Auschwitz. At some point, the son noticed that the father had been ignoring food and collecting fat. He wasn’t trading it for scraps or favors, he was just keeping it. And he was starving to keep it. So once again, the son and the Rabbi approached the father.
“I’m turning it into a candle,” he said, “for Channukah.” The son and the Rabbi were appalled. The Rabbi said, “Channukah is a cultural holiday. It is not ordained by G-d. Neither the Torah nor the Talmud command you to celebrate it. Why in G-ds name would you sacrifice your food for that?” The father replied,
“You can live three days without water. You can live three weeks without food. But you cannot live three minutes without hope.”
The son and the Rabbi helped the father fashion wicks from rags and clothes, and helped steal small bits metal of metal off corpses and guards to make a spark. They lit Channukah candles in the middle of a Nazi concentration camp. The father and the son survived off of hope for the rest of that year, and they both lived to see the liberation of Auschwitz. The father died soon afterwards, but the son, Hugo Gryn, went on to become a Rabbi himself. In fact, the Rabbi of West London Synangoue, and the leader of the British Reform movement. He was described as the most beloved Rabbi in the country. He never lost sight of hope.

Not a huge fan of recent Marvel comics forgetting Magda and her importance in Magneto's life and history in favour of focusing only on Charles.......
#look I ship cherik#but I don't like this pattern of sidelining a male character's relationship with a non-white woman to focus on a white guy#you know max can care about more than one person right?#and his relationship with magda literally defined who he is today#his love for her is what kept him from committing suicide in Auschwitz#she was the mother of his children and her running away in fear is literally what turned him into magneto#it reeks of antiromanyism#magda maximoff#erik lehnsherr#magneto posting#magneto#max eisenhardt#marvel racism

You absolute dunce. Either wake up, or stop trying to pretend you care about what’s happening on Gaza. It’s not a “war,” and it’s not a “conflict.” It’s a full-fledged genocide. A war or conflict can only occur between two free nations, who are more or less standing on equal ground. That is NOT what is happening between Palestine and Izrahell. In what kind of a conflict/war does one side control the water, electricity, food, aid etc going into the other side? None. It’snotreal is a parasitic, violent occupation, and the Palestinian people have every right to resist. You have literal Holocaust survivors begging for ceasefire and calling it a genocide, not wanting it to continue. But of course, zios are just modern-day nazis and don’t care about what even the actual Jews, the living Holocaust survivors have to say.
omg my first antisemitic anon hate!! thank you!!!!
Anyone who I actually care about knows who I am as a person and how I feel about the sanctity of human life, so I don't really care about your opinion of me, and especially don't feel the need to indulge in a litmus test on geopolitical politics from you of all people, hope this helps!!
Anyway, I hope you take constructive criticism.
Your review:
Delivery: 6/10.
You get points for decent grammar and sentence structure. It was easy to read, and I like how you used quotation marks correctly, so bonus points for that. First sentence was a good hook, but the incorrect use of commas at the end kinda threw me off a little :/
Creativity: 1/10.
Literally, did you even try?? Not one single independent thought was expressed. Boring. Seen it before. Try harder, please. If you're going to try to play with words, make sure you actually know what they mean; you semantically can't do that to the word "Israel," sorry. It's a Hebrew word, so butchering it in English just feels really juvenile. Would like to have seen better effort with that.
Word choice: 0/10.
You would have gotten points for the words "dunce," because I haven't heard that word since like the 1930s, and "parasitic," because I thought that was an interesting use of the word, but unfortunately you got points taken off for using a KKK slur :/
Literary devices: -17/10.
The Holocaust inversion was not part of the rubric, so I had to take extra points off for that, and unfortunately it went into the negatives. Sorry :/ (I would have given you points for the use of irony, when you equated a KKK slur for Jews to the entity responsible for the worst genocide of Jews in history, but I'm absolutely sure that you did not use it on purpose, so the points were voided.)
Other notes:
The choice to be a coward (anonymous) really added to the ambiance of the message, but unfortunately I don't see a spot on the rubric for that, so no points were awarded.
Overall: -10/40 = -25%. Congrats, you failed! Disrespectfully, go fuck yourself!
.עם ישראל חי
#and for the record keep our dead and our survivors out of your mouth#my great grandmother who survived auschwitz actually does not need you to speak for her thanks!!#antisemitism#anon hate#jewish#jumblr#antisemitic dickwad#עם ישראל חי mother fucker#i would say when they go low we go chai but i am in the basement with this one actually

i was born here but my dad emigrated from the ukraine with his brother in 1987 and says when they got to rome their aplications got rejected twice for not having enough proof, and so his brother got sick of waiting and went to israel 😔
Oh, until the Lautenberg Amendment, refugee status for Russian Jews who wanted to come to America was entirely predicated on who, if anyone, pissed in the INS official’s Cheerios that morning. They'd have you go to the U.S. Embassy on Via Veneto with every member of your grubby family and interview you to establish you had a well-founded fear of persecution and specific evidence to back up your claim. Those guys (and the HIAS people who helped us prepare lol) were so sick of us by the 1980s because there was a huge backlog of immigrants in Rome waiting to be approved, and every fucking day we’d pour in their offices, take all the candy in the bowls, and get weirded out by the compulsive American smiling.
Like, maybe they really were expecting some American Tail shit in the beginning, where we’d talk about huddling in our little mouse kitchen with our forbidden matchstick menorah or whatever. The reality was that after 70 or so years of cultural genocide, most of us were secular atheists entirely disconnected from what Americans understood to be Judaism. Our evidence of religious persecution? Promotions we didn’t get, schools that rejected us, relocation applications that never got approved, name-calling. By the mid-80s, the KGB was using the Lubyanka prison as a cafeteria, and not everyone was lucky enough to be thrown in a gulag and tortured. Unless you were #privileged enough to have an arrest record or a paper trail of dissidence, your immediate future was in the hands of a guy who couldn't pronounce your last name and rolled his eyes when you wasted his time describing “unofficial quotas”.
Ask any INS officer, Israeli Zionist, or tankie on Tumblr.edu: a lot of refuseniks were whiny kikes who played the victim instead of staying in the Soviet Union and taking some antisemitism for the team (or going to Israel, where we clearly belong).
#kinda like the palpable disappointment of american jews and gentiles alike when they hear grandma got holocaust reparations from germany#but learn she didn't have a baller tattoo from auschwitz™#in other news one of you sure did send me a youtube link to a tankie having a belaya goryachka about solzhenitsyn#the one (1) (just the one) man who “brought down” the soviet union#first of all may i just say#[inhales]#BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED!#BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED! BASED!

“All the Dachaus must remain standing. The Dachaus, the Belsens, the Buchenwalds, the Auschwitzes -all of them. They must remain standing because they are a monument to a moment in time when some men decided to turn the earth into a graveyard, into it they shoveled all of their reason, their logic, their knowledge, but worst of all their conscience. And the moment we forget this, the moment we cease to be haunted by its remembrance, then we become the grave diggers.”
― Rod Serling

Abstaining from Instagram stories until people I know can stop doing either genocide denial or Holocaust inversion.
#tbh I don't even object to use of the term 'holocaust' as a general noun!#but maybe we can not call things that are not nazism 'nazism' and things that are not auschwitz 'auschwitz' with suspect relish#when the israeli military starts donning actual SS uniforms and building gas chambers and incinerators maybe we can revisit but like#what's going on is horrific enough without the kind of historical revisionism that white supremacist sockpuppet accounts typically employ

my worst trait is, despite the fact that all of my research and what i am now beginning to be recognized for as a researcher focuses on eroticism as a means of empowerment over and above repressive moral/cultural/religious authorities, i absolutely hate sex. i hate heterosexual sex. i hate erotica. i don't support it. i think we should all explode. on a completely intellectual level i know that my dislike of sexual currency is that it is pornographic (eroticism reduced to commodity) and not erotic. everything is about sex, except sex, which is about God.
#personal#wait til i publish my thesis in which i argue that auschwitz is also about sex (eroticism) whatever

You can’t make this shit up. This is actually insane and disgusting. People can lose their job for pointing this out while a fcking Israeli politician can just literally say this. What the fuck do you mean do to Gaza what was done by the Nazis?
#I mean it’s not surprising to me#but them admitting it so openly#and he still being labeled antisemitic for pointing out what they themselves are fcking saying is crazy#and ppl will write all these thinkpieces about how it’s antisemitic and an act of terrorism to say ‘from the river to the sea’#because ‘it’s calling for the extermination of the Jews’ (which couldn’t be further from the fcking truth)#meanwhile Israel is openly talking about wanting to commit war crimes and atrocities and genocide#like I have a list of these horrific ppl calling for genocide in different ways. an entire list. all Israeli politicians including Netanyah#disgusting#where are the israeli supporters now?#how do you still defend this??#is your hatred making you this blind?#anti israel#free palestine#free gaza#Palestine#gaza#Israel#idf#auschwitz#gaza strip#benjamin netanyahu#from the river to the sea palestine will be free#current events#important#war crimes#genocide
