I just watched the latest Indiana Jones movie and aside from the CGI they put on Harrison Ford’s face- that movie was pretty fucking awesome actually. After the crystal skull being absolute fucking garbage they had a LOT to make up for and I genuinely think they did. I mean they TIME TRAVELED (I am a bitch for time travel) to 214 BC and met Archimedes! And I got to watch a bunch of Nazi’s die. Two things I can enjoy.

If you want to see a prime example, perhaps almost the platonic ideal, of what the problem is with having "not bigoted" be an identity, rather than a descriptor or ideal, look no further than this fun set of posts from @behemocoatyl from yesterday (23/2/24):

(I was blocked within ten minutes of making this response, btw)

And then there was this:

And this:

Well, as I'm blocked, and they've declared that they can't be antisemitic because "they're a good person", I just... want to play with that mindset a bit. Tweak it just a little, to show how that doesn't work. But gently. I don't think I have to go too far to show how self-absolving yourself of bigotry doesn't work...

There we go! Isn't that a helpful illustration of the problem?

I hope they have a wonderful day too!

Did you guys know that the KKK also hates Israel. Did you know that just because a group hates Israel does not mean that they are anti-Zionist Pro-Palestinian freedom fighters. Did you know that antisemitism is real. Did you guys know about this.

[hilacopter]

If your reaction to seeing an antisemitic statement is "if you replaced the word Jews with Zionists and I'd agree" I don't trust you actually

Israels actions against Palestine make me sick to my stomach. Every time I look at the news I see some new horror they are committing, and see how they are justifying the inexcusable, I feel sick to my stomach with rage. But now, in the heart of Ramadan, the word angry feels too small for the fire I feel in my chest.

Palestine will not be able to properly celebrate Ramadan this year. Trying to explain the situation to people who have never interacted with the community is difficult. Even when thinking to myself, I have the urge to compare it to what I know. "Imagine if there was no Christmas." "Imagine if someone took away Easter." "Imagine there was no food on Thanksgiving."

But Ramadan is not any of those things. The fact that there is no Ramadan in Palestine should be enough to make you angry.

I've been living in a muslim country for six months now. Ramadan is not nearly as festive as Eid was, but its presence is unmistakable. You can taste the joy in the air. Children here get out of school early this month. There is a school across from my home; I hear their laughter every day. String lights hang from the balconies of my neighbors, wrap around palm trees, dangle from streetlights. In the news I read that the Sheik has pardoned hundreds of prisoners, paying off their fines himself in the spirit of charity. Shops here are decorated to match, with cut out stars and crescent moons and streamers. Many shops offer discounts. "70% off home delivery."

There are festivals in the streets and lectures in the colleges.

It is wonderful. And the people of Palestine do not have this. Their fasting is forced, their children out of school by force, their houses lit by firebombs and not crescent moon LEDs, homes that smell of gunsmoke instead of oud.

I hate Israel. It feels childish to admit this. It feels like a shortcoming; hate is what causes this crisis, I should be able to focus on loving Palestine instead of adding more hate to the world. But it is a word I can't help but feel when I think about what Isreal has done, is doing, will do to the people of Palestine. What injustices they will force upon them next. Hate. It's not something I say lightly, but it is something I feel I must say.

I am not disappointed in Israel. I am not sympathetic to their 'cause.' I will not censor myself to sound more moderate, to convince the undecided. I hate Israel. I hate Israel. I hate Israel.

Growing up, I always thought that the central calling of a Jew was to be good. Even when it was hard, always try to be good, and failing at that, try to be better.

There's a term, אור לגויים, meaning "light unto the nations". It's a weird phrasing, but I always understood it to mean "lead by example". People should see you, a Jewish person, as always choosing the moral, kind path, even at detriment to themselves, in a way that makes people want to emulate them and be better.

I've realized growing up that many Jews, especially those deeply entrenched in the religious or Zionist community, see that responsibility in an inverse way. WE set the standards for morality, so if we say it's ok, it's ok. Jewish people are inherently moral, and therefore all actions taken by Jews, in defense of Jews, must be just. In fact, it's actually anti-Semitic of you to assume there's another way we could be going about this.

This is not what Judaism is, this is not what we're here to do.

We are better than this.

We always have been, and we always will be.

[pettytiredandjewish]

So when are y’all gonna admit that antisemitism is a huge and concerning problem?

Or are y’all just gonna keep saying “ it’s not antisemitic it’s anti Zionist” or “we don’t hate Jews we just hate Israelis” or “ stop deflecting” or “stop overreacting”…

(Sorry most of my rant is in the tags but I said what I said)

[elliesbelle]

neil druckmann realized that the actors who play the two main characters in his show are both pro-palestine and decided that he’s gonna fill the rest of the cast with zionists

[myriadeyed]

To every de-assimilating and re-connecting ethnic Jew lurking in Jewish tags:

One day it will all just be part of your life, no second guesses. One day you won't feel so uncomfortable or guilty, even a little bit. One day you will be cleaning your house for Passover and realize it's all just so normal. One day you will be saying the Hanukkah blessings and realize you know them by heart. One day you will offhand mention you're Jewish and not feel that familiar pang of guilt and shame.

You are already "Jewish enough" because you are Jewish. This feeling of not quite belonging does not last forever. You will feel all right someday. I know I do now, even though for a while it felt like I never would.

Welcome home.

The way neoliberal white queers are still trying to argue with me that it’s progressive to drop 20,000 tons of explosives on a civilian population—of which 65% are 24 years old or younger—in order to ethnically cleanse them bc gay sex isn’t legal in Palestine (punishable by jail time NOT DEATH like they’re claiming). Meanwhile in the United States, sodomy laws weren’t ruled unconstitutional until 2003, but still—

I fucking grew up in South Carolina. I live in North Carolina. All my queer friends and family live in these places. There are millions of wonderful people in these places. And even the shitty people don’t deserve to have their skin boiled off by white prosphorus or be slowly starved to death. I can’t even believe I have to say that.

Ya’ll are so radical and indoctrinated it’s fucking insane. If you’re gonna support genocide, do it with your whole chest and stop hiding behind “progressive” values.
