#but don’t do Christian shit and call it Jewish

[edenfenixblogs]

Speaking of cultural appropriation:

Idk if the user in question has done this, but I do know that a lot of the people who engage in this kind of cultural appropriation of Jewish ideas also have been falling for the following idea. So I want to be explicitly clear about this.

Anybody who knows anything about me—and I mean ANYTHING—is that I do not gatekeep Judaism. Jews by choice, patrilineal, atheist jews, etc. You’re all Jews and your Judaism is as valid and equal to the Judaism of the most orthodox practitioner imho.

But, sorry Charlie:

There is no such thing as a “teacup mikveh.”

You do not become Jewish because you “feel” Jewish. You become Jewish because you’ve put in the work.

You don’t put some water in a cup and anoint yourself with it to become a Jew.

What you are describing is a baptism. Baptisms are not Jewish.

If you wish to become Jewish, contact an actual rabbi and put in the work.

It’s not gatekeeping Judaism to point this out. Judaism gatekeeps itself. I���m not making myself the arbiter of who is and is not allowed to be Jewish. I am pointing to the big Building of Judaism and drawing your attention to the deep stone carvings that have been there for thousands of years that say: “We don’t do baptism. That’s not a Jewish thing. Stop it.”

So, a big name account here that talks about mysticism and has definitely made money on discussions of Jewish mysticism (they have a seemingly well-funded Patreon, among other things) has now said "No Zionists on my page" without actually, you know, specifying what they think a Zionist is.

I dunno, but isn't that pretty textbook cultural appropriation? I'm sure they'd say that Good anti-Zionist Jews are welcome, but that's the minority, and once people start putting up these lines, how long before any Jew is suspect?

We all know the answer.

Anyway, I hope that fellow Jews who have supported this user stop doing so now.

Making a little pinned post for goyim who stumble across this blog. Nothing in your background, none of your experiences with marginalization, nothing at all makes you exempt from having internalized antisemitism. The best thing you can do is seek out a wide range of all jewish voices with no preconceived notions, hear how different things affect their lives and oppression, and take that into account about what you say and do. Next thing to address. Antisemitism from the left DOES exist and it IS in your movements for palestinian liberation, as ugly a truth as that is. I support a free palestine and an end to genocide. So, when I showed up to my first protest and saw a displayed swastika with hundreds of people around, I was extremely dismayed that not a single one was willing to stand up and say a goddamned thing. This is the state of antisemitism on the left. Most people won’t *openly* spout hateful rhetoric, tho those who will are quite loud. The real problem is that there is no collective willingness to go after the open antisemites in these movements. It’s deemed acceptable because it’s for a good cause. And let me tell you, this shit is quite typical and we jews see it constantly. Just because you aren’t seeing antisemitism doesn’t mean it’s not there. Of course you aren’t seeing it. You’re not jewish. You don’t have the background to notice shit that you’ve been taught is normal and fine. Yet, your silence in the face of these things or even your engagement in them still hurts us. And. You know what they say. If nazi joins 4 people at a table and they do nothing about it you have 5 nazis. So. What can you do? Seek out jewish voices and LEARN!! Don’t tokenize us. Don’t choose ones you already agree with. The first resource I recommend for dealing w antisemitism in leftist spaces is called “The Past Didn’t Go Anywhere” by April Rosenblum. This is a jew with a long history of palestinian advocacy and she has done a great job at breaking down where antisemitism happens. Link at the bottom. It was written in 2007 and remains depressingly relevant today. This pamphlet is 24 pages, a bit long, but very thorough. This pamphlet is the barebones details of what’s antisemitic btw. The things listed in there are basic “nearly every jew in the world” would agree things. There is more than just what is contained in there that’s antisemitic and your best resource is gonna be listening to jewish voices. No tokenizing. No dismissing. Just listening and seeing what makes sense. That said, this shit is essential reading because it gives you the tools to start making spaces safe for jews. If you don’t care about that then, well, you probably don’t belong on this blog.

EDIT: In an ideal world I would like a binational one-state solution with a right of return for jews and palestinians as well as massive reparations for palestinians. I don’t identify as a zionist. And. I know jews who identify as zionists who want the exact same things I do. If your rhetoric is calling for violence against those people you can fuck right off. Zionist is a jewish word that has been appropriated by goyim, both by christian “zionists” as well as those who wish to discredit jews wanting to live peacefully with palestinians in our shared homeland. It means whatever the jew using it says it does in the context of their speech. The people who support the ethnic cleansing and genocide of palestinians or the treatment of palestinians as second class citizens are called kahanists and racist assholes, not zionists. Stop misusing our fucking word. Learn what the word means from actual members of our community instead of shouting about it as a fucking outsider and appropriating a term with deep community roots. Yea, Israel has committed so many war crimes and is currently committing genocide. This is not what zionism represents to most zionists so if you’re pushing that narrative just fucking do better and stop putting jewish lives at risk with your irresponsible rhetoric. I once again redirect you to the linked pamphlet. This is not a heavily focused on topic in it, but it gives clear instructions on what not to do, even if it doesn’t give you all the details on the why.

[mossadspypigeon]

okay welcome to “chaya is done with anyone saying trump is good for jews or israel.”

here’s the uh scoop on what his appointees have done for and against jews and israel:

note: THIS IS NOT ABOUT ANY OTHER POLITICAL TOPIC. DO NOT REBLOG TELLING ME I SHOULD CALL OUT ANYTHING ELSE. I AM TALKING ABOUT JEW HATE RIGHT NOW. I AM TALKING ABOUT JEWS. not everything is about you!!! GIVE US A FUCKING MINUTE.

OKAY? okay. good talk.

(i will also include good shit if they have any lmao. only two of them do)

marco rubio.

the only things i agree with the man on are a. taking out hamas and b. the antisemitism on college campuses bill he helped introduce. he has said some weird dog whistles:

but this was a good choice:

from the forward, which i will link later:

“Rubio surprised pro-Israel backers with his April vote against emergency funding to Israel because it lacked border enforcement measures. Rubio excused Trump after he repeatedly accused American Jews of disloyalty to Israel and suggested they must hate their religion if they vote for Democrats.”

religion lol

HAHAHAHHA GAETZ:

he’s also a RAPIST.

and this beautiful fucking moment lmao:

PETE HEGSETH HAHA

need i say more

kristi noem

one decent thing:

she also signed an anti bds bill and has pointed out antisemitism, BUT she’s pentecostal so that likely explains why she wants israel around:

yup.

idk it’s sad that she’s decent one a single issue when so many progressives can’t even pass that bar. it’s for selfish reasons, but yay she signed and ratified the antisemitism bill woo

don’t ask me my feels on anything else with her.

ratcliffe

the man is a hawk even for me, and i want hamas GONEEEEE

tulsi gabbard:

a. praised assad. like HELLO????

b. jew hate dog whistles:

fun.

she also has other shit she’s said that i dont appreciate:

lee zeldin is an EMBARRASSMENT. moving on.

elise stefanik destroying antisemitic college presidents endeared her to me:

she also wants to cut funding to UNRWA, which is always A+.

fucking furhhr huckabee

another “i only support israel bc prophecy for jesus” evangelical

selecting him for a traditionally jewish role is not the flex trumpy thinks it is.

AH YES ROBERT F KENNEDY HAHAHA

ANYWAY YAY WOO YAY fhrbhf UGHHHH

[spacelazarwolf]

Here's a fun random question: Is there such a thing as a secular Jew?

Like, we have secular Christians who do the bare minimum to call themselves a Christian and participate in Christian holidays. Are there Jews that do that? Like maybe they were born into the faith and participate in the culture but they aren't like. Super religious about it all and if they miss something, it's not a big deal for them?

oh absolutely. there are some jews who will eat a bacon cheeseburger then fast all day with their family on yom kippur then not speak another word of hebrew till passover. but i think for jews it’s less abt doing the bare minimum to still be considered a jew bc judaism is a tribe, and more abt spending important days with their family or connecting with their culture.

and like obligatory 2 jews 3000 opinions and i’m not the Ultimate Authority on judaism, but the thing that’s different imo abt judaism vs christianity (at least western christianity) is that christianity is a faith-based religion. generally, if you don’t align with christian theology, or at least say “yeah ok jesus sure”, you are by definition not a christian. for jews, there’s multiple different axes on which jews can interact with judaism, but the two that are probably the most helpful to gentiles in understanding the jewish people’s complex and varied relationships to judaism: religiosity and observance.

religiosity is about what you believe. do you think god exists? what is god? what are your beliefs about creation? how do you interact with jewish spirituality? and honestly, you could probably even break religiosity and spirituality into two different categories.

observance is about what you do. do you abstain from eating pork and shellfish? do you light candles every friday night? do you attend synagogue regularly? do you just go on yom kippur? do you wear a kippah or tichel?

to a lot of people who aren’t jewish or aren’t familiar with judaism, they might think that if someone is religious then they’re obviously observant, and if they aren’t religious then obviously they aren’t observant. but you will meet jews who keep fully kosher, light candles every single friday, observe even the most minor fasts, celebrate all the holidays, and think the notion of god is bullshit and saying the shema is just a way they connect with their ancestors. you’ll also meet jews who haven’t lit candles since they moved out of their parents’ house, eat bacon for breakfast, only go to synagogue on yom kippur, and believe that god created the universe and calls the jewish people to heal the world through good deeds and charity. you’ll meet jews who are deeply spiritual but don’t believe in god. you’ll meet jews who go to synagogue every saturday morning but don’t know a lick of hebrew. and that’s the coolest thing about judaism for me is that there are a shit ton of rules that you can study for years and years and you still don’t have to follow a single one to be jewish if you’re already part of the tribe.

[thrashkink-coven]

okay I don’t love ranting about Christians on this page because I try to keep this space free of religious shenanigans but I need to rant about this because it’s actually SO irritating. This is coming steaming hot right off the top of the dome so excuse my grammar and all caps.

Lately my instagram page (thrashkink_art check me out I’m awesome) has been getting a lot of attention from Christians for some reason, and I’ve been getting dmd by people wanting desperately to debate and/ or convert me. They all come at me with the assumption that I’m either an extreme atheist that’s just super mad at God or a complete dumbass that’s simply never read the first few pages of Genesis. I must either be angry or stupid. There’s no way I could have read the Bible and known the story of Jesus without subscribing to it. Anyone who isn’t Christian must not know the story! “Have you heard about JESUS? DID YOU 🫵 KNOW He died for your sins? 😃” Whatever

The thing that is so frustrating is that, EVERY SINGLE TIME I share some information with them about the Bible or religion that they didn’t know, they immediately BLOCK ME. EVERY TIME. And it’s like??? If you want to have a debate and go bar for bar then I’ll humor you. Hey, who knows! Maybe I’ll even learn something new and convert! I’m always open to new information! I love learning about religion! But apparently it doesn’t go both ways because the second I present information they can’t grapple with, they IMMEDIATELY BLOCK ME. AAAAAA

Some Christian dude: If you read the Bible you’d know that doing witchcraft will land you in Hell!

Me: well if we’re really going based off of the Bible, the entire concept of Hell doesn’t originate in the Isrealite religion. Actually, there’s no mention of a Hell in the OT at all, Hell is a Greek concept and so is Lucifer.

Christian: What? No?? That can’t be true it completely distorts my worldview

Me: You… don’t have to believe me just look into it yourself

*You can no longer message this person*

LIKE WTF.

Some Christian dude: Women are just naturally subordinate to men, if they weren’t then we would have worshipped a female Goddess alongside YHWH.

Me: Well… They did. The Israelites worshiped Asherah alongside YHWH before her worship was abolished

Christian: This is blasphemy *you can no longer message this person*

RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAA. I have countless examples like this! A dude called me evil because I told him Jesus was Jewish. I’ve been called a degenerate for explaining how YHWH originated in Canaan. Im so tired of ignorant Christians shitting my pants because they’re too lazy to do any research on tHEIR OWN RELIGION!! IF YOU NEED TO HAVE AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS BECAUSE YOU JUSG LEARNED ABOUT THE HISTOY OF YOUR RELIGION THEN THATS ON YOU BITCH! DONT GET MAD AT ME BC YOUVE BEEN FED A LIE !!!!!! THATS NOT MY PROBLEM !!!!!!!!!!

There have been so many times when I’ve taken the time to go through all this bullshit with people because I really don’t want to be close minded. But holy shit it’s like they’re allergic to conflicting information. They immediately accuse me of trying to push blasphemy onto them. and when i’m like hey dude don’t take my word for it, please I encourage you to do your own research, they’re immediately so offended and appalled. How dare I tell them something about the Bible that they didn’t know.

Listen bro, I’m fully supportive of your Christianity, live your life, worship your God, I honestly do not care. But if you’re going to try to convert me at least be somewhat prepared for an actual discussion. Don’t block me because you can’t handle the reality of the situation mother fucker.

LIKE LISTEN IM USUALLY NOT SO PRESSED AB SHIT LIKE THIS BUT THE THING THAT DRIVES ME UP THE WALL IS THAT I USUALLY TRY TO IGNORE THESE PEOPLE BUT THEN THEYRE ALL LIKE “Aha! 😌 You don’t want to hear me out because you know I’m right! You’re afraid of the truth!” SO THEN IM LIKE

*SIGGGGGHHHHHHH*

OKAY! Let’s go! Let’s hear it! We can debate because you’re so desperate to change my mind! ILL WASTE THREE HOURS OF MY LIFE GOING THROGH THIS SHIT WITH YOU SO YOU CAN JUST CALL ME A BLASPHEMOUS WHORE AND BLOCK ME. I LOVE WASTING MY TIME I LOVE GOING IN CIRCLES I LOVE POINTLESS DISCUSSIONS I LIVE FOR THEM

DO NOT!!! DM ME IF YOURE A CHRISTIAN !!!!YOU WILL NOT COME OUT THE SAME AFTER HEARING THE THOUGHTS FROM MY EXPANSIVE SEXY SLUTTY BRAIN YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!!!!

RRRRRAAAAAAAAA

ok. I’m better now. Merry Venus Day! Ave Lucifer! 🔱 💀

[thequeeranachronism]

The first time I heard the term cultural Christianity it gave me words to explain my experiences as a Jew. Cultural Christian atheists aren’t still Christian but they sure do talk to and treat me just like fully religious Christians have. The fact that I can’t go into predominantly ex Christian atheist spaces as an atheist and not be exposed to antisemitism and Islamophobia. The fact that I can’t escape the fucking term “sky daddy”.

A lot of these people are leftists who like to put forward how progressive they are but will spout the most bigoted shit in the name of atheism. How they talk about atheism sounds so much like how evangelicals Christians talk about Christianity. They are the ones who are right about everything and those religious people are mentally ill idiots. It sounds so much like Christian supercessionists who pity Jews for not being able to accept Jesus as the messiah. How they will call themselves the “completed” Jews. Which mirrors how ex Christian atheists refuse to acknowledge religious Jewish atheists.

People from religious minorities need words to talk about our experiences and so far I have heard no suggestions on replacements that fully explain the experiences I and other Jews have had. Instead I have had hate hurled my way by people refusing to understand that having privilege from being part of the dominant culture doesn’t mean they can’t have been hurt by it. The idea that you have no culture is a dangerous one. Just because Christian culture has had a bigoted past doesn’t mean it’s evil. Pushing this idea that Christianity isn’t a huge part of western culture just forces assimilation onto those of us outside of it.

I have had bigoted fully religious Christians understand that they are part of the dominant culture. They and cultural Christian atheists both want Jews to no longer exist they just want it to happen in different ways. Religious Christians want us to either convert or go to Israel to kick start their apocalypse. Cultural Christian atheists want me to shed every part of my Jewish culture because it’s tied to religion all while they get to keep what they want from Christianity. Sundays off, Christmas, Easter et-cetera while I must give up my own and assimilate.

I just want ex Christian atheists to understand. Your culture is not something you have to shed fully. It’s not something you are tainted by. Your culture can be beautiful and it isn’t evil. Just like my own culture is beautiful and meaningful to me and a connection to my ancestors. Take what you find meaningful from it and discard what you don’t but don’t act like you don’t have a culture and have no privilege from it. Having privilege doesn’t mean you have to get a huge amount of power out of it either it just means you benefit in some way. I hope this helps anyone having trouble understanding

>SJWs says they support the Jewish

>Only use Nazism as a example of Jewish purges

>Never question why we call the Middle East the “Arab World”

>Never figure out why half of the Jewish people of world went to leave in a certain country after WW2

Also incase with the pro hamas support the left does, that because they deluded themselves into believing the happy ending that media does where everything is perfect when the evil empire (“Israel” in their minds) is conveniently destroyed with a mcguffin

But they haven’t send the videos where kids will stated they will slaughter all the Jews they were told they are the sole reason why their homes are destroyed

….How the fuck do deal with such brainwashed kids? Wait they were persecuted before the Bronze Age fall, but I don’t want to know how it feel like to be an Israeli child where a Palestinian kid you could been friends with. Only for the Palestinian kid to attack you and/or try to kill you?

I was told such hatred ended with Hitler suicide and the civil rights movement…now I know I was only told lies

>SJWs says they support the Jewish >Only use Nazism as a example of Jewish purges >Never question why we call the Middle East the “Arab World” >Never figure out why half of the Jewish people of world went to leave in a certain country after WW2

For some reason they're supposed to be stateless and as a result incapable of doing whatever it is that the Antisemites are terrified of them doing, can't keep forcing them into ghettos and then doing pogroms after they start succeeding a little too much for your liking if they have a home to go to.

And a lot of the reason it's considered the "Arab world" is because the Arabic people went ahead and colonized the whole region while they were out and about cutting off heads and spreading Islam.

People had to settle down there and set up their caliphates so they could keep an eye on the locals and make sure they didn't go back to not practicing Islam.

Also incase with the pro hamas support the left does, that because they deluded themselves into believing the happy ending that media does where everything is perfect when the evil empire (“Israel” in their minds) is conveniently destroyed with a mcguffin

I'll never for the life of me understand why the people that scream 'Christofascist' at people here in the US over a Jesus Loves You bumper sticker pivot so fast and move to support a theocratic ethnostate that actually does everything they've convinced themselves that Christians want to do to them, which some might want to do some of those things but they're a minuscule minority,

But they haven’t send the videos where kids will stated they will slaughter all the Jews they were told they are the sole reason why their homes are destroyed

We don't get those ones, al jazeera only runs those in the MENA region, what we get here is the sanitized shit that fits the narrative folks here have built up in their heads.

….How the fuck do deal with such brainwashed kids? Wait they were persecuted before the Bronze Age fall, but I don’t want to know how it feel like to be an Israeli child where a Palestinian kid you could been friends with. Only for the Palestinian kid to attack you and/or try to kill you? I was told such hatred ended with Hitler suicide and the civil rights movement…now I know I was only told lies

You do it by using the truth and time, it's not going to work for everyone, but there's only so much anyone can do in the end.

[dougielombax]

Just saw a user here (I won’t name them because I don’t want anyone harassing them or doxxing them) wilfully (albeit indirectly) promoting the antisemitic “Jewish deicide” myth under the pretense of anarchism and fighting Christian hegemony.

I knew I’d stumble across such a take eventually but I’m still surprised.

And baffled.

Wilfully feeding into stereotypes to spite those you dislike. And fuelling their bigotry and lies by doing so.

Embracing the idea that Jews killed Jesus. (Which they didn’t do! It was the romans who killed him!)

Wilfully! And knowingly too!

I’m not Jewish myself, but any jew with even a bit of sense would know NOT to do this!

Even the writer(s) of the Toledot Yeshu (a book written to take the piss out of Jesus) knew not to do that shit! (As far as I recall)

I wouldn’t call that progressive or revolutionary behaviour myself.

This shit is more like three drunken rants away from needlessly slandering all religions in a nihilistic tract under the veil of “rationality”.

A most irrational behaviour.

[rustsrecovery]

to be honest, even when I did identify with radqueer (obviously before I decided to recover and actually take care of my mental state) I never understood the concept of TransReligions. I am Jewish we are from an orthodox Jewish family however we as a system are mostly secular, but we have some alters who are more frum than others. Anyway, I have the saw a few TransJewish people when I did identify with RQ.

That always confused me because why not just convert? I am aware of a conversion process to Judaism is very long and I think you get denied at least three times before converting but I’m not sure of the entire process because again we were born and raised in a Jewish family. I just don’t get it instead of appropriating Jewish culture because being Jewish is also an ethnicity why not convert? We accept converts we view converts as 100% Jewish. When you convert you have to learn to adapt to the ethnicity as well as the faith so instead of half assing shit and calling yourself “TransJewish” just like you’ll get papers you will get to actually be accepted into the Jewish community and I’m pretty sure it would be worth it if you actually want to be Jewish

Genuinely, I do not understand “TransReligions” because I also saw some for religions that don’t even have a long conversion process like Judaism does I saw TransChristian and I’m pretty sure Christianity all you have to do is accept Jesus and youre Christian like what do you mean “TransChristian” it just doesn’t make sense

[redheadbigshoes]

Can't believe these lesbophobes keep reblogging on that post of yours making fools of themselves. 'labels dont mean anything' okay so can you call yourself black even if you're a white person? can you say you're jewish even though you only go to a christian church?

Like there's this logically false jump from gender identity to other identities that just makes me so frustrated with how they use gender identity as an example when its something completely different from community identities

You can be a boygirlqueer or an androgyne or anything, it doesnt affect anyone else its just your identity you can share it with others like men or women or other nonbinary people but it doesnt interact with other people, but when you go to a community that has something in common like, people of color are all non-white, or people of a religion all actively practice or believe in that religion or in terms of sexuality we are connected in that we are all non-men who love only non-men and the way we share in those struggles and joys and experiences forms our community, it affects other people to violate that boundary.

I just get so mad that people use gender identity as a mask to cloak their lesbophobia and other people who dont understand will just let them say this shit, ugh.

-🌻

They really don’t hear themselves… I bet they wouldn’t agree with the examples you gave because it’s obviously nonsense, it’s literally so stupid to completely ignore words meanings just because you’re childish.

Labels exist to categorize us based on shared experiences and attraction/lack off. Sapphic exists to categorize every woman/nb person attracted to women/nb people, bi exists to categorize people attracted to multiple genders, and lesbian categorizes women and nb people attracted only to women/nb people.

What’s interesting to notice about these people is that they use similar rhetoric as an argument (which always ends up sounding transphobic). “What’s the difference between a pre-T trans man and a woman” ??? They’re literally going back to using “biology” to justify their argument which is literally what transphobes do. And they cannot even try to argue how trans men can identify as lesbians without sounding extremely transphobic.

[milevenfcb]

this was only supposed to be a few sentences but it turned into a really long rant so i apologize ahead of time, but i’m getting really sick of arguing with people about this. i really don’t care who reads through this or not, and feel free to disagree with me, but I’ll always believe anti-zionism is inherently antisemitism.

anti-zionism, going by the REAL definition and not the tiktok definition, is the jewish people’s right to self determination in their ancestral homeland (aka israel), and israel’s right to protect themselves (especially from their jew-hating neighbors hamas). zionism has nothing to do with the “genocide” or “apartheid”, even if you think it does.

going by the definition, being anti-zionist means you don’t believe israel should EXIST, not that you oppose palestinians dying. I also hate that innocent civilians in palestine are caught in this war, but that doesn’t make me an anti-zionist because i still believe israel should exist. and, news flash, if you believe in a two-state solution that makes you a zionist.

if you’re anti-zionist and believe israel shouldn’t exist, then what do you propose should happen to the nearly 10m jews, muslims, christians, and others currently living there? what’s your solution to the rapid rise of antisemitism in countries that jews making aliyah are trying to escape from? how does abolishing israel solve the war in any way?

i hate how the the word “zionist” has been turned into an insult because people can’t say “jew” since that would be obviously antisemitic. so instead they try to insult us by calling us “evil zionists” or whatever other shit to make us seem as immoral as possible.

also, reminder that “zio” on its own, which I’ve been called way too many times since 10/7, is a slur word created by david duke, a literal neo-nazi and former kkk leader, because he couldn’t outright use the word “jew”.

zionism isn’t bad. all it means is you believe jews have a right to self determination, any other definition is just political interpretation. and i think it’s very obvious that we need our own country + military, since somehow many “progressive” people STILL have an issue with jews even in 2024.

[keepsmyheartawake]

Not only sexually assaulting detainees, but a month or so ago they sexually assaulted a Palestinian man to death. The video surfaced, they did it in a room full of other detainees, and when they were going to be arrested Israelis rioted in the streets to free them, and claimed it was basically their right to rape other human beings to death.

Since then I’ve seen videos of the IDF doing a “TikTok trend” of posing in front of bombs going off in the background, a video of a burning house with a screaming Palestinian woman and crying baby inside and the Israeli who lit the fire singing as he records, a podcast called Two Nice Jewish Boys where they both claim to speak on behalf of all Israelis when they say if they had a button they’d wipe Gaza off the map and they “don’t give a fuck” about the children, a video of a man and pregnant woman that had been strung up by their necks outside of a building by the IDF, the murder and harassment in the West Bank where they cannot cry “Hamas.” And just yesterday video of Israelis taking nice little family boat tours to watch the skyline lit up by bombs. They’re taking their children on a family gathering to watch other children being murdered. These families are being considered first settlers for the “real estate” in Gaza that they’ve destroyed and will further colonize. Almost all Israelis serve in the IDF, it is a requirement unless you’re exempt from conscription, so to my mind that makes them culpable. Many have dual citizenship, I know a person who used to bounce back and forth from NY to Israel bc he served in the IDF. These people are doing the most horrendous shit imaginable and then coming home to your neighborhoods. And no, this has absolutely nothing to do with being Jewish and everything to do with racism and a sociopathic degree of entitlement via Zionism and that includes Christian Zionism because they are funding this shit, they are at the heart of our government like a malignant tumor.

It’s a year later and I still cannot believe this is life, I cannot believe there is an entire country filled with grandparents, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters who are largely content with a million children, their neighbors, being starved and being maimed at their hand, I cannot believe the people in this country fighting for Israel’s “right” to do so, I cannot believe we share the planet with people like this. Like there is still something somehow surviving in me that does not want to believe this. This thing just gnaws at me and there’s this idea many people have like then why care, why watch such disturbing things, why make yourself uncomfortable by bearing witness to the suffering of others. Can you imagine being in that situation with your babies and your loved ones and the entire world turning its back on you. Because that’s what they’ve received for 80 years already, it’s about time we all got uncomfortable with the unacceptable.

[mossadspypigeon]

goyim need to just remove the words “hitler,” “nazi,” “concentration camp,” and “holocaust” from their collective consciousness and vocabulary.

especially since the majority of non jews (and non roma) never learn a thing about the shoah or jewish history (or romani history). they don’t give a shit. they don’t think any of it’s worth knowing about unless they can somehow use it to cause further harm and hurt jews more.

(js you fucking idiots know: JEWS AND ROMA WERE THE TWO GROUPS TARGETED FOR COMPLETE EXTINCTION. not gay people, not trans people, not ARABS (they were allies with hitler), not slavs. JEWS. AND. ROMANI/SINTI. i don’t see you fuckfaces accusing roma of genocide though so i’m making this about my people: jews.)

the shoah doesn’t belong to any of you. you aren’t living with its effects and generational trauma. the sheer loss of live. the continuing prejudice and hatred that YOU FUCKING MORONS SHOULD HAVE LEARNED FROM AND STOPPED. you don’t learn anything about it, you can’t tell the difference between a fascist and a nazi, and i bet your cultural christian asses grew up thinking hitler must have had some excuse for what he did.

you know how often i heard that as a kid and teenager from christian children??

the things is: hitler didn’t act alone. he was aided by an entire society of people who hated jews and roma. he was helped by SYSTEMIC antisemitism that was thousands of years old. he was part of a society built on jew hate. and he didn’t even come up with the Final Solution. that was HIMMLER. and he was the same as hitler: from a society that normalized and thrived on bigotry against jews.

the holocaust was a CULMINATION of over a thousand years of hate, not an isolated event. antisemitism around the world is the oldest prejudice.

the holocaust was a machine of death. a uniquely horrifying series of events.

non jews and non roma do not own the imagery. you don’t own the references. IT ISN’T YOURS.

you don’t get to call everyone you hate or disagree with nazis, and you certainly don’t get to label everything you find awful a new holocaust. it doesn’t work that way, and doing so is disgusting.

it shows how little you actually care.

goyim have labeled everything from gaza to fucking FACTORY FARMING new holocausts. FARMING.

you don’t get to use it. you don’t get to label anything a holocaust. and you certainly don’t get to use those atrocities against the people the nazis fucking slaughtered, gassed, shot over pits, made into lampshades, raped, massacred, pogromed, experimented on, oppressed, and NEARLY FUCKING ANNIHILATED.

it’s bad enough you are all siding with groups who want to finish the fucking job, but now you think you can steal our trauma from us and use it against us?

there are less jews in the world today than there were in 1939, but you hate us and our one country so much that you’d believe anything awful about us without a single question in your shitty minds as long as you have an excuse. you’d gladly watch another ACTUAL shoah happen to us.

FUCK YOU. this is all purposeful cruelty and you are all evil.

“War! Good God! What is it Good For?

Absolutely Nothing! Say it Again, Y’all!”

(Will America be dragged into a Mid-East war?)

Scientific Morality

            Can one man make millions of people fight in a war? It has happened numerous times throughout history. Kings, emperors, aristocrats and feudal lords have, as have religious leaders. In a hierarchy, the king decides who’s to live and who’s to die. Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu gives the orders to bomb and attack its neighbor states. The first causality of war is the truth. Netanyahu and his advisors from the Likud Party will accuse the Arabic states of harboring Islamic terrorists. The Likud Party will demand that the state get rid of terrorists or Israel will do it for them. Then, Israel will play games of espionage, such as dressing up like Arabs and bombing an Israeli city, then blaming the deed on some terrorist group. Oh? You think that is farfetched? Why do you think the government won’t let you see its classified files? This aint no conspiracy theory! This is normal war strategy. You think the C.I.A. plays by the rules? What is that adage? “Winning isn’t everything. It is the only thing.”

            Both major political parties in the USA are pro-Israel because the Jewish vote is important in winning political office. However, if the Likud Party wants to expand Israel’s territory, it must have a compelling point to get America involved. How will the U.S. government sell the war to the American people? How about orchestrating a fake terrorist attack? You know? A 9/11 event?

Do white protestants give a shit about a Jewish state in a desert? Not really. Oh, maybe some Evangelical sect who believes in Bible prophesies does. What do they call themselves? Oh yeah, “Christian Zionists.” There is another cult called “Messianic Jews.” Will America sacrifice their sons and daughters for fanatical Christians? I don’t think so. How about the rich WASP ruling class? What does Israel have that is valuable besides sand? Offshore drilling? Not much of it. Then what is worth having a war over and why should America care?

            For one thing, Israel is the friendliest country in the Mid-East to the U.S.A. It is a perfect location for military bases. The Arab state is rich in oil reserves. The next war for oil will be more easily managed with military bases in Israel. Israel needs more land and America needs more oil. The most likely way a war will happen is if another terrorist attack is waged upon Israeli children and mothers. Will that come to pass?

            The issue of antisemitism is not going to fly. Eventually, the goyim are going to realize that it is kosher to criticize bad Jews. Serial killer, Son of Sam David Berkowitz, was one. If I criticized Black street gangs (i.e. the Crips or the Bloods), would that make me racist? Hell, no it wouldn’t! So, it’s okay to criticize revisionist Zionists or right wingers, like members of the Likud Party.

            The responsibility of the political leadership of Israel is up to the Jews who live there. Supporting right wing Zionists is political suicide! Islamic terrorists will not push Israel into the sea; it will be revisionist Zionists, like Netanyahu and the Likud Party. If I was antisemitic and I wanted to kill the Jews, all I would do is sit back and watch the Jews kill each other.

If the Israeli Left doesn’t stand up and do something, Israel will not be celebrating its Centennial.

ive already expressed how bunk the culturally christian discourse is but something else occurred to me and its that the discourse not only alienates exchristians (on purpose) but also alienates poc, largely i think also on purpose. because ive seen so many false equivalence posts insinuating that backlash against culturally christian is the same as resistance to the idea of ‘white privilege’ or that being ‘culturally christian’ is the same as being white in a racist society. and so many people keeping this discourse going are white and trying to call out other white people for having another level of what theyve interpreted as unilateral all encompassing privilege, going back and forth on how privileged the cultural christians (exchristians, people raised atheist, people who have converted to other religions, jewish folks and muslims too now if they breathed the wrong too christian air or lived in the wrong country) are and equating it to being inherently racist. and you can see how this analogy doesn’t work for people of color and literally anyone marginalized in any other way. even if you think ‘culturally christian’ works as a term (it doesn’t but go off, mostly because yall stripped it of anything meaningful from conception) how can you say its equivalent to white privilege even for poc without being racist? for all this “you need to unlearn christian biases!” none of you are unlearning your racist biases.

being ‘culturally christian’ is not a person of color’s version of white privilege you myopic racist fucks. the white ‘culturally christian’ enjoyers are either trying to dodge some sort of guilt or accountability but it shows how they use intersectionality is broken and oversimplified otherwise we wouldn’t be having this discussion in the first place. its no surprise a concept made by a black woman (intersectionality) is misused by white folks. and no, i don’t care if youre white and nonchristian saying this, if you can make those kind of claims with no nuance then i get to do the same. a lot of the popular bloggers who say this are white and reblog from people known to harass poc anways...

and now for the personal anecdote as a black person: black churches didn’t get firebombed, be segregated and get defunded so they couldn’t organize against white supremacy for you to say ‘culturally christian’ is the same as being white and racist for everyone. they didn’t edit the bibles they gave enslaved people for no reason, they didn’t burn crosses in people’s yards and march streets with them in white hoods, or claim black people didn’t have souls or that integration was ‘unchristian’ or say that “only jesus could fix racism!” for you to get your white ass on tumblr and say this shit. i hope you feel genuinely uncomfortable and unsettled reading that.

Now watching Collision! Here we go (under the cut cause it got really long):

Tony’s on commentary for Collision? Okay, I’m cool with that

Metalingus is a fantastic fucking song

Oh wow does Christian look good in that shirt. Goddamn.

The ‘Christian will you be my father?’ sign 😂

“Hit the bricks” “get to steppin” loving these coming from Christian

If not Luchasaurus or Jack Perry or whatever, I’m gonna need Adam to be the one to take that TNT belt off of Christian

Bryan!!

Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne banned from ringside. Fantastic

Ricky and Bill?? What the fuck do you two have to do with any of this

Oh right his whole thing with Bryan

“It’s your stupid silk slacks dumbass” “and you took it from the Rock” oh shit Adam

“That really sent me over the edge” I will never get tired of the dumb Edge jokes

I would absolutely love a Bryan/Adam team up. LOVE.

FTR? Really?

Oh cry me a fucking river you idiots

Oooh it’s brawl time

Well this inevitable eight man tag match is gonna be interesting

Oh I love that they played MJF’s Stand Up to Jewish Hate video package

CJ Perry is so gorgeous, my god

I do not like the ROH ring announcer at all

DANHAUSEN!!!!

Oh my god he said it’s almost time, I’m so excited

Juice!!

That son of a bitch needs to give Max his belt back

Wow, all of the tape on Cardblade. Poor Cock Strong

Oh my god the ring

Down on one knee and everything

“Nigel you don’t think-” 😂

The MJF chant 🥹

I swear to god if he takes the ring from Max I will lose my shit

And if Jay fucking White takes the belt from him I might actually have a breakdown

That motherfucker saying he has no friends, I swear to god I hope Max kicks his ass so hard

Dustin’s back!! It would be so fucking fantastic if he (or honestly anybody else) beat Juice in the battle royale

Don’t really like adding him to the long list of people trying to kill Max though

The “we’ve been trios champions for ___ days” thing is so good

“If it’s a thing to you, it’s a thing for all of us” awww

BILLY AND ANTHONY TRYING TO HELP CASTER 🥹 “just be a gentleman” I’m dying this is so sweet

Renee losing her shit was so funny

I adore Daddy Magic and Cool Hand Ang but Daniel Garcia can fuck off

. . . I do not care about Skye Blue at all

But never mind about that because IT’S STAT TIME!!!!

I’m pretty sure she’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen

“What’re you doing? This isn’t you” oh Stat 😢

I love that Stat is out here just giving literally everyone she wrestles the best matches of their careers

Okay they can turn Skye Blue heel all they want but they cannot turn Willow heel, that’s ridiculous. Her joy is stronger than that black shit

And you’ll have to pry Staturday Nightingale out of my cold dead hands

OUT OF MY COLD DEAD HANDS TONY

Oh Kenny vs Kyle is gonna be good

Yeah I’m really not in any hurry for Rush and his buddies to come back

Turbo Floyd is definitely on the list of worst wrestling names of all time

I really like that they have storylines from ROH progress (or even just reference them) on AEW TV

Sting on Wednesday?? Fuck yeah

Oh my god the render for Nick Wayne’s mom

Ooh that Mistico video package was fantastic

Time for Bryan vs Christian, this is going to be awesome

‘Christian did nothing wrong’ 😂

Oh shit, no time limit? Is that the first time they’ve ever actually said that? I feel like it might be. Like sure, they always ‘go as long as it takes’ but I don’t remember ever hearing them say that

“Necks by Christian Cage” “Who’s gonna sun this match, and why is it Christian Cage?” “Doesn’t need to mat wrestle a clam digger” Nigel is the best

I really need Excalibur on this show because I have no idea what so much of the stuff Bryan is doing is called and I would really like to

Love seeing Nigel on his feet in the background just losing his shit

That was a great match

Oh brawl #2

That was a really great show! Can’t wait for Wednesday
