If you’re not Jewish/Muslim/Israeli/Palestinian and you are talking publicly in any way about the i/p conflict you should probably do your research about dog whistles and take that info seriously. It shouldn’t be up to affected groups to educate you while actively being triggered and traumatized.

It’s not fun to constantly worry if your friends secretly hate you or if they are sliding into antisemitic spaces or are ok with genocide as long is against the right group of people.

You aren’t free of antisemitism or Islamophobia just because you don’t sit around thinking, “I hate Jews/Muslims/Arabs.” This shit is structural. I don’t care how many Jews or Muslims or Arabs you know. If you haven’t actively deconstructed your own bias against these groups, you’re probably still hateful whether you realize it or not.

"TALKING. ABOUT. NEGATIVES. AND POINTING OUT PROBLEMS. ISN’T. EXPRESSING. HATRED. OR “HATING” ON ANYTHING."

Exactly, that's why talking about the negatives and the problems in Israel isn't antisemitic either!

😂😂😂

if you actually know what the negatives and problems are, mother fucker. 99% of the shit pro pallies bring up is just that. shit made up by al quds news and al jazeera. blood libel. not fact. shit made up by the PLO’s propaganda wing. protocols references. that isnt fact to critique. that is bigotry.

just like “criticizing” the israeli government when you dont know how it works or a basic fact? bigotry. talking about israel being the bad guy when you don’t actually know the history? shows a focus on jews and the jewish state that isn’t shown to other groups. therefore..bigotry. denying jewish indigeneity in favor of revisionist history? again, bigotry.

meanwhile, i have actually read about the history of american reform and reform’s practices and beliefs. i’ve gone to reform synagogues for years. i am educated and can therefore offer critiques. there is a difference. i also had conversations with people who had differing opinions.

the reading comp on this website remains in the toilet.

My entire life, I've yearned for the kind of community the Jewish community and Judaism have provided me. I found out I had Jewish ancestry when I was a kid, I looked into it more later and realized my most recent Jewish ancestor (like three-ish generations back) was almost certainly forcibly converted out, and decided to convert to like. Make amends for that I guess and also because I really vibed with the holidays and how we turn up everywhere in history bc we keep doing cool stuff despite consistently shitty circumstances.

But I digress.

I have waited my WHOLE LIFE trying to experience the joy becoming Jewish has shown me, and that gets shit on constantly.

My sister has started making a truly obscene number of Jew jokes. My mom scoffs at all the 'nonsense rules' and has said repeatedly that she thinks choosing a 'restrictive' religion is dumb and I've made a mistake. She even said it's an insult to HER parenting skills that I would seek out religion after she tried to teach me to know better.

My dad is dead but I never ever in a million years would have told him even if he were alive, and my sister thinks it's funny to threaten to 'out' me as Jewish to his relatives even though they're basically KKK-adjacent so she actually enjoys threatening mg safety at this point. (Yay family right?)

My friends have turned everything into an Israel/Palestine discussion lately and I know damn well what they're doing when they start saying truly horrible shit about Israelis and looking at me. They get mad if I try to temper their extremism so I've given up. I barely talk to them anymore and I spend more and more time with other Jews from temple and I don't want to like. Isolate myself from all non-Jews I guess bc I've always felt like that leads to weirdness and perpetuates shit about Jews being unfriendly I guess idk?

Anyway I digress again. My point is I'm really sick of constantly being expected to tolerate it when people think I shouldn't be Jewish.

Other queer people think I'm somehow compromising my queer identity by being Jewish, leftists think I hunt Palestinian children for sport now apparently, right-wingers think I traffic good Christian babies for organ harvesting or some shit idfk, my friends think that if I'm not being more vitriolic in my hatred of Israel than they already are I'm some kind of secret rabid Netanyahu fan, my family think I've been recruited into a cult apparently and the only other people who show me even an ounce of compassion or regard are other Jews and Gd knows there's like ten of us and that number is unlikely to increase.

Just. Fuck. I've put blood, sweat, tears and money into this, I invested more time and emotional commitment into this than I have into going to college or choosing a career, I love it more than anything and have only loved it more the more I learned about it, and all I get when I express this or even just let slip that I am Jewish and chose to be, I get nothing but hatred. I will never understand how a religion that has spent all 5000 years of our existence minding our business and arguing about the same book over and over can possibly have offended this many people with our existence.

Dmn anon, that is a lot you're dealing with right now. I'm so sorry you're surrounded by people who clearly don't respect you. Because yes this is a lack of basic respect, and it is antisemitic. Now I don't know how old you are and how safe you are, but if you can safely do so, set very hard boundaries. Do not tolerate this amount of disrespect towards who you are. It is hard, and many of us have had to go through similar situations, as you can read all over this blog. But I think having to spend your life surrounded by people who make you feel unsafe and disrespected is worse. I know sometimes there are situations in which people cannot safely set these boundaries, I hope it's not your case, but if it is feel free to come here to vent again.

I know you don't want to isolate yourself from goyim. Many Jewish people don't want to. Sadly, when people disrespect us like this, they're the ones isolating us. It's not your fault. Seek people who love and accept you. Sadly, a good chunk of goyim won't - I'm not saying everyone, obviously, but a portion. Having a good Jewish support network seems to be more and more important, whether it's irl or online.

I hope you can soon be in an environment that's safer and more accepting

"you hate this photo, your mother kisses it when she goes to sleep, she kisses it like a rosary. she holds it like a prayer. she asks herself where you went. she tries to forgive herself for not knowing one day would be the last you smiled wide enough to scrunch your nose up. she forgives herself for not remembering it. you hate yourself. you hate the way the fat on your body rolls and undulates, you know the flesh on your bones in this picture must be an illusion, its unbefitting of g-d."

"your father asked you to do a second photo 'with a nice smile this time'. you want him to be happy, and smile when he sees you."

"when they bury you it is in a closed casket, they tell your mother what you have done. she can't hear them over the way you laughed in 1991. her baby is 5. 5 and still growing."

The goy that I’ve posted about before who was upset Israel went after Hez is suddenly very quiet now that Nasrallah is dead. Usually they’re banging anti-Israel drum loudly.

I’m anxiously waiting with morbid curiosity as to what argument they’re going to make about this being the worst thing ever (this week).

[jewishbarbies]

it’s really fucking annoying when goyim come in halfway to a conversation between jews and start bitching about what we should be talking about instead. like, you’re seriously going to come on to a thread of jews talking about the antisemitism in the way people use Israel’s right of return policy to delegitimize Israelis’ indigeneity and all the other countries that do it but don’t get criticized despite their own histories of colonization, just to go “ummm acktually you should be talking about how the right of return is used to colonize palestine”. get out. get the fuck out. this is why jews don’t feel comfortable having conversations about these kinds of gray topics with goyim, because all you’ll do is intentionally misread the room and shout your moot point from the rooftops like you’re a hero and then whine and cry when it’s not taken well, not to mention you won’t even look into the people already participating and find out what they think BEFORE you assume everyone talking is just an evil zionist colonizer nazi. stay the fuck out of jewish conversations and unpack your fucking antisemitism.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is wild because it is the straightest game I have ever played but at the same time it is the gayest game (that isn't like. something literally about being gay or centered on a mostly lgbt cast) I have ever played. Does this make sense

[magnetothemagnificent]

Me: *Makes a post about antisemitism*

Goy: *Reblogs with a long whiny rant about why their feefees are hurt*

Me: *Responds by telling them why they're wrong*

Goy: "We are DONE here. I'm TIRED of this conversation!"

Hello?????

Hi okay I got my flu/covid vaccine in one go and it completely fucked my body what did I miss Bart girlies?? He’s in a comic. Which one. Where Is My Boy

[andifthestarsweretodie]

"Both sides are committing war crimes!!" Yes. But first, who are the sides you're talking about? The civilians? The Gazans being displaced? The Jewish victims of October 7th, including those in kibbutzim? Or the Israeli government and the guerrilla militia of Hamas?

With that defined, we can continue. "Both are committing war crimes." Hamas and the Israeli government? Yes. Which one is being funded and supported by a global imperial power that actually has the power in this world where states are the ones with the reins? Israel. Which one is working for their personal interests? Both, one side looking to kill Hamas AND the civilians AND expand territory, and another looking to kill Jewish people. No clean sides here. Which one has the ability to erase 2.2 million people off the face of the earth in terms of arms in a war of attrition? Israel.

I know nuance is hard. It is not impossible. What we want is peace and that starts with a ceasefire and giving humanitarian aid to Gazans who have been suffering for almost 90 days if not more by now

my ulta zeyde used to ask restaurants if the food was kosher by asking if 'the chicken was happy' and i think that is a very fun phrase that also gets to the heart of what kosher law is about very concisely

I refuse to label myself Zionist or anti-Zionist for the comfort of people from Christo-centric cultures. My identity doesn’t have to fit into a category that you understand.
