one of my classmates is a messianic, post cancelled

hebrew 101 started today and my god is it a relief to finally be in a room of people who are Normal About Jews. saw quite a few magen david necklaces, i wasn't worried someone would be a dick about my bring them home dogtag, the professor said he's from israel and used to teach at tel aviv university when introducing himself and nobody was weird about it, class is off for rosh hashanah with nobody having to ask, he played us a song in hebrew and said it was made shortly after october 7th and the following silence was sad instead of awkward. i'm not even jewish yet but i didn't realize just how tense i'd been in most goyische spaces until i was in a jewish/adjacent one and it felt like i could breathe again.

#i did start overhearing midway into a conversation (in the hallway waiting for the class before us to clear the room)#and clearly i missed a lot of the context cause the moment i walked in was a 'haha what the fuck' kinda thing #that i'm not even sure if i want to recount #i'm not sure if he genuinely does consider himself messianic cause he was sort of flippantly like 'i'm basically a messianic jew lol'#to which i and one other person basically said civil versions of 'shut the fuck up'#also pulled out the classic 'we share half the bible' line to which of course he was responded to with some sighs #like i'll take 'offputting christian philosemitism' over 'death to (((zionists)))' but that's not where the bar should be #anyway the 'post cancelled' thing is a bit hyperbolic cause it's just one guy rather than the Everywhere #and the broader idea still stands #but an unfortunate development nevertheless
