#jewish disneyland

[eretzyisrael]

by Tanya Gold

Benji is warm and wild, while David is conventional and shy. Both are flailing. In Lublin’s Old Jewish Cemetery, Benji scolds the tour guide for using too many facts when discussing the Jews who died there. “These are real people,” he rants. “This is making the whole thing feel really cold.”

But that’s Poland. When I went in 2021, and again in 2023, I found there was an ambivalence toward Jews and, as Benji also notices in the film, an awful emotional deadness.

I visited Kraków, specifically Kazimierz, the old Jewish quarter, and found a sort of haunted Jewish Disneyland. There were golf buggies that have ghetto written on them, and tourists who thought a trip to a once–Jewish quarter might be fun. Restaurants played Jewish klezmer music and served Jewish food like chicken soup with matzo balls but not often to Jews: There aren’t enough of them. There were 3.3 million Jews in Poland in 1939, and there are estimated to be 10,000 now. The Poles try to make up for it, in their way. A “Jewish” restaurant I went into was filled with paintings of Jews counting money, and there were tiny wooden Jews holding coins for sale in the market. These toys are called “Lucky Jews.”

As in A Real Pain, I took a tour bus to a death camp.

“I’m not disappointed,” a woman told me at Auschwitz, sitting under a tree. “It is horrifying.” I met a museum director who told me about an episode where non-Jewish Poles insulted Israelis who had booked tickets to a Shabbat service in Kraków. The Poles wanted to attend the Shabbat service too and were furious that there was no room for them. “You’re lying!” they told the Israelis. “You’re lying! You care only about yourselves, you Jews!” The most stupefying comment came in the form of a TripAdvisor review I stumbled upon: "Seriously I have been 1 week in Poland and rarely saw some smiles. Customer care is [a] disgrace. . . when they talk to you they show you they are not happy to help you. Never again."

musk bring his toddler son for Auschwitz. this is sick to see him bring his son for piggyback to holocaust memorial tour as Disneyland. the children under 14 allowed visit Auschwitz

I was much more disgusted by how the first thing he said after touring Auschwitz was

yes X could have stopped the Holocaust.... he went an main charactered himself about the Holocaust after touring Auschwitz, what a turd.

which would be bad all on its own, if Twitter wasn't FLOODED with Nazis right now, FLOODED with holocaust denial and Nazism, he had the nerve to claim its better than other platforms.... well maybe TikTok the subbasement of Jew hate at the moment, but twitter's unhinged Jew bashing is something.

any ways I think its important to bring kids to these places and tell the story but maybe Joe Biden is right when he brought each of his grandkids there at 14, for sure Musk being his 3 year old human prop X was questionable at best and coming from Musk, inappropriate.

So, I did a study abroad in the Middle East with Israel and Palestine.

Would you say you're pro-Palestine or pro-israel?

Pro-Palestine.

As a gay man, I would be punished and-or put in prison or killed if I were openly gay in Palestine. how do you react to that?

... I didn't know that.

It is illegal to be gay in Palestine. You are punished by prison in death.

In Israel?

No, Israel has gay pride. Israel is completely open to lesbian and gay people. Palestine puts them in prison or kills them. You weren't aware of that?

I was not aware of that, no. So, that does pose an interesting... aspect.

Have you seen the Queers for Palestine movement? It's a very common movement. But I don't see any Muslims for Queer movements.

Uh, yes. That's where i gets gray, right? Like...

Well, for me, it's not gray. I am fearful of Islam because there is no Islamic country on Earth that embraces me as a gay man.

So, OK, OK, so maybe I'm confused because Israel, which is still an Islam country, right?

No, no, no, Jewish.

OK. OK, OK, OK.

So, Israel is Jewish, Palestinians are Islamic.

OK.

What the fuck did she study? Given her other answers, I'd say it's safe to conclude that "in the Middle East" means she was staying at Disneyland Paris.

So yeah, that happened… (Not as bad as it looks, though. The top half is books I own and read this month, not books I've acquired.)

November has been a month of highs and lows for me. Mostly lows, if I'm being honest. The US election kicked my brain back to 2020 for a couple days and I don't think I've really reset yet. (It's taken me three years and counting to reset from 2020 itself so I'm not surprised.) For any American reading this, I'm still very saddened for you and I wish there was something I could do beyond listening and sympathizing. I wish the world was a better place to live in.

And speaking of 2020 mode, I haven't been writing. I was at a crossroads at the end of October with a difficult scene, and even though I've fixed it so it's better, I still haven't continued. It's hard for me to write cheery, upbeat things when I'm scared and angry, and work's getting busier for the holidays, and both Bake Offs I follow were airing and that just seemed more important. At least this time, it's definitely writer's block rather than a terror of traumatizing people by writing diversely. (2020 was fun, y'all.)

And I also didn't write for five days because my mom and sister and I went to Disneyland. This was, of course, the high of the month! It was good to spend that time together, and do the rides and the whole experience, and see Disneyland as an adult. I'm especially glad we went when we did because I don't think I'm ever going to visit the States again.

It was also a fairly lukewarm reading month for me, which I don't think it helping the mental stuff. The best book I read was intense and heavy, a few of the others also dealt with dark stuff, and pretty much everything was "fine". No new favourites, though I've added the rest of Claudia Gray's Austenian mysteries to my TBR and I'm still thoroughly enjoying the Lady Trent novels. A couple of the other books (the Clarke, the Stearns) were ones I was hyped for but which didn't live up to expectations.

That said, for all that it's my lowest ranked book, The Price of the Stars was surprisingly fun. It's completely mindless, cliched space opera that reads like an off-brand Star Wars novel and I'm sure I'll have just as much fun with the sequel (also on my physical TBR). But I also recognize that the writing's on par with mediocre fanfiction or cult 1980s B-movies.

Books and otherwise, here's hoping for a better December.

And now, as always, here’s my list of everything I read this month, in the rough order of how glad I was to have read them.

Donald and Daisy with their kids (Huey, Dewey and Louie and April, May and June Duck) celebrate Easter - Disneyland Easter Celebration and Easter Costumes - Happy Birthday to Huey, Dewey and Louie - Duck comics and Duckverse

Happy Easter to everyone and if someone asks me, I know that it has passed, but Easter is not celebrated only on one day, but depending on the calendar it can be celebrated twice (Gregorian and Julian calendar), and it is usually celebrated when Jewish Passover and Muslim Ramadan Eid in progress.

As you know, Easter is celebrated because on that day Jesus Christ, after the third day since he died on the cross, was resurrected from the dead and proved that there is life after death, only faith is needed for that (whoever believes, let someone believe) and most Christians celebrate it, although it depends on the calendar when exactly it is celebrated. And usually the symbols are decorated colored eggs (especially red), chicks hatching from eggs, also ducks, as well as Easter bunnies that bring gifts for good children. I'm not a fan of Disneyland, nor am I a fanatic, although Disneyland in Tokyo in Japan makes good events, including for Easter when the mascots dress up in Easter costumes.

Yes, as inspired by the images from Disneyland Tokyo I drew Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck (Donald's nephews) as well as April, May and June Duck (Daisy's nieces-the Dutch comic version of Donald Duck) in Easter costumes, with the fact that I added costumes for Daisy's nieces in my own way. I did a redraw from an actual representation of the triplets mascots from Disneyland holding the Easter eggs they made and carrying them over their heads. Unless they break it. Just like their uncle Donald, Daisy and her nieces also lay eggs, as well as keep the chicks that hatched from the eggs, as well as the Easter bunny. I drew mostly in my own way.

I hope you like this drawing and this idea and feel free to like and reblog this, just please don't copy my same ideas without mentioning me! Thank you! Also, happy birthday to Donald's nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, who celebrate on April 15th! Happy birthday to them, the best trio! And happy Easter to everyone!

And yes, this is a gift for my friend, dear @boingodigitalart , who is a Disneyland fan and I hope you like this. Happy late Easter!

A new documentary argues some young Jewish Americans – including the directors themselves – have been raised in a system that demands pro-Israel activism (via Raised to see Israel as a ‘Jewish Disneyland’, two US film-makers are telling a different story | Film | The Guardian)

[hsr-texts]

Okay, so yesterday I saw a video that as an Israeli shocked me... Basically it's about a Jewish Orthodox who is protesting against the aggression of Palestinians people. Meaning they were showers solidarity to Palestinians. However, Israeli polices brutally attacked them...

That made me thinking, what if the reapsun why Isralei media shows more pro-zionist government becouse they want to spread patriotism? But when it comes to people in Israel who are against zionizm they are getting brutally beaten! But no, I guess it's "okay" tp show people making fun of Gaza people and how much they want Disneyland woth a Starbucks...

That is why most people won't believe that there are anti-Zionist people in Israel because the government hides the truth. And honestly, I hate the patriotic propaganda...

If you are okay with that you can check the video on my post (link down below. But I do warn you that it shows a lot of violence...). I do apologize if the message sounded self-centered.

John Banner (28 January 1910 – 28 January 1973), born Johann Banner, was born on this date 114 years ago and died 51 years ago today at the age of 63. He is best known for his role as Master Sergeant Schultz in the situation comedy Hogan's Heroes (1965–1971). Schultz, constantly encountering evidence that the inmates of his stalag were planning mayhem, frequently feigned ignorance with the catchphrase, "I know nothing! I see nothing! I hear nothing!" (or, more commonly as the series went on, "I see nothing, nothing!").

In 1942, he enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps, underwent basic training in Atlantic City and became a supply sergeant. He even posed for a recruiting poster. He served until 1945. According to fellow Hogan's Heroes actor Robert Clary, "John lost a lot of his family" to the Holocaust.

Banner appeared in over 40 feature films. His first credited role was a German captain in Once Upon a Honeymoon (1942), starring Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers. He played a Gestapo agent in 20th Century Fox's Chetniks! The Fighting Guerrillas (1943). His typecasting did not please him – he would later learn that his family members who had remained in Vienna all perished in Nazi concentration camps – but it was the only work he was offered. Banner himself was held briefly in a prewar-concentration camp.

Banner made more than 70 television appearances between 1950 and 1970, including the Lone Ranger (episode "Damsels In Distress", 1950), Sky King (premiere episode "Operation Urgent", 1952), The Adventures of Superman (4/5/57, The Man Who Made Dreams Come True.)Mister Ed, Thriller (episode "Portrait Without a Face", 1961), The Untouchables (episode "Takeover", 1962), My Sister Eileen, The Lucy Show, Perry Mason, The Partridge Family, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (episode "Hot Line", 1964), Alias Smith and Jones, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (episode "The Neptune Affair", 1964), and Hazel (episode "The Investor", 1965).

In the late 1950s, a still slim Banner portrayed Peter Tchaikovsky's supervisor on a Disneyland anthology series about the composer's life. This followed a scene with fellow Hogan's Heroes actor Leon Askin (General Burkhalter) as Nikolai Rubinstein. In 1953, he had a bit part in the Kirk Douglas movie The Juggler as a witness of an attack on an Israeli policeman by a disturbed concentration camp survivor.

In 1954, he had a regular role as Bavarro in the children's series Rocky Jones, Space Ranger. Two years later, he played a train conductor in the episode "Safe Conduct" of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, appearing with future co-star Werner Klemperer, who played a spy. He played Nazi villains in several later films: the German town mayor in The Young Lions {1958}; Rudolf Höss in Operation Eichmann (1961); and Gregor Strasser in Hitler (1962). The year before the premiere of Hogan's Heroes, Banner portrayed a soldier in the World War II German "home guard" in 36 Hours (1964). Although it was a non-comedic role in a war drama, Banner still displayed some of the affable nature that would become the defining trait of the character he would create for television the following year. By coincidence, during the final moments of 36 Hours, John Banner's character meets up with a border guard played by Sig Ruman, who had portrayed another prisoner-of-war camp chief guard named Sergeant Schulz, in the 1953 film Stalag 17, starring William Holden. In 1968, Banner co-starred with Werner Klemperer, Leon Askin and Bob Crane in The Wicked Dreams of Paula Schultz.

According to Banner in a newspaper interview, before he met and married his French wife Christine, he weighed 178 pounds (81 kg); he claimed her good cooking was responsible for his weight gain to 260 pounds (120 kg), as of 1965. This helped gain him the part of the kindly, inept German prisoner-of-war camp guard in Hogan's Heroes. Banner was loved not only by the viewers, but also by the cast, as recalled by cast members on the Hogan's Heroes DVD commentary. The Jewish Banner defended his character, telling TV Guide in 1967, "Schultz is not a Nazi. I see Schultz as the representative of some kind of goodness in any generation."

After Hogan's Heroes was cancelled in 1971, Banner starred as the inept gangster Uncle Latzi in a short-lived television situation comedy, The Chicago Teddy Bears. His last acting appearance was in the March 17, 1972, episode of The Partridge Family. He then retired to France with his Paris-born second wife.

Less than one year after moving back to Europe, while visiting friends in Vienna, John Banner died from an abdominal hemorrhage on his 63rd birthday. He was survived by his wife Christine; they had 8 children

Classic Retrovision Milestones

Academy Award-winning Jewish American songwriter Richard M. Sherman, one of the creative geniuses behind some of Walt Disney’s most iconic and timeless songs, died on Saturday at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills “due to age-related illness,” the Walt Disney Company announced. He was 95 years old.

The Walt Disney Company described Sherman as “one of the most prolific composer-lyricists in the history of family entertainment, and a key member of Walt Disney’s inner circle of creative talents.” The company added that it will announce at a later date its plans for celebrating Sherman’s life.

“Richard Sherman was the embodiment of what it means to be a Disney Legend, creating along with his brother Robert the beloved classics that have become a cherished part of the soundtrack of our lives,” said Bob Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company. “From films like Mary Poppins and The Jungle Book to attractions like ‘It’s a Small World,’ the music of the Sherman Brothers has captured the hearts of generations of audiences. We are forever grateful for the mark Richard left on the world, and we extend our deepest condolences to his family.”

Sherman and his late brother, Robert B. Sherman, made up the songwriting team known as the Sherman Brothers. Together they wrote music for the 1964 film Mary Poppins, including “Chim Chim Cher-ee,” “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” “A Spoonful of Sugar,” and the lullaby “Feed the Birds.” The brothers won the Oscars for Best Score – Substantially Original and Best Original Song for “Chim Chim Cher-ee.” “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” made it on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1965 and “Feed the Birds” was one of Walt Disney’s favorite songs.

“You don’t get songs like ‘A Spoonful of Sugar’ without a genuine love of life, which Richard passed on to everyone lucky enough to be around him,” said Pete Docter, chief creative officer of Pixar Animation Studios. “Even in his 90s he had more energy and enthusiasm than anyone, and I always left renewed by Richard’s infectious joy for life.”

Born on June 12, 1928, in New York City, Richard’s family relocated to Beverly Hills in 1937. He attended Beverly Hills High School and later studied music at Bard College. He was drafted into the United States Army and served as conductor for the Army band and glee club from 1953 to 1955.

Walt Disney hired the Sherman brothers as staff songwriters for The Walt Disney Studios after the success of their song “Tall Paul,” which sold more than 700,000 singles. The brothers together ultimately wrote more than 200 songs for some 27 Disney films and 24 television productions. Their credit included The Horsemasters (1961), The Absent-Minded Professor (1961), The Parent Trap (1961), Summer Magic (1963), The Sword in the Stone (1963), That Darn Cat! (1965), Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966), The Jungle Book (1967), The Happiest Millionaire (1967), The Aristocats (1970), Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971), and The Tigger Movie (1998). Richard later wrote new lyrics for the live-action The Jungle Book in 2016 and two years after appeared in the film Christopher Robin, for which he also composed three new songs.

The Sherman brothers also wrote music for Disney theme park attractions around the world, including “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow,” “The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room,” and “It’s a Small World.” In the early 1980s, they wrote songs for EPCOT and Tokyo Disneyland, including “One Little Spark” and “Meet the World.”

The Sherman brothers left The Walt Disney Studios in the early 1970s and went on to write music, songs, and screenplays for films such as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), Snoopy Come Home (1972), Charlotte’s Web (1973), The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1973), Huckleberry Finn (1974), and The Slipper and the Rose (1976).

In 1972, the duo became the only Americans to ever win 1st Prize at the Moscow Film Festival for their film musical The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, for which they wrote the script and music. The brothers were inducted as Disney Legends in 1990 and into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005. Three years later, the brothers were awarded the National Medal of the Arts.

In 2010, Richard and award-winning composer John Debney collaborated on the song “Make Way for Tomorrow Today” for Marvel Studios’ Iron Man 2.

Over the course of his 65-year career, Richard received nine Academy Award nominations, won three Grammys, and received 24 gold and platinum albums. Richard’s father, Al Sherman, was also a songwriter.

The sleeping spot last night became perpy....i don't know his philosophical orientation Tesla's were in the area so the worst to the poor Elon musk as African did really cheapen the idea of white surfer dude as a quick literacy project so many types act white that are to stupid

Its sort of like gov phones are really easy....instead of original hardware projects..,...communists about being censored did have to make laconic statements

Thomas malouthas on gentrification I don't know if i was going to complain about white people I would notice people who do fulfill all these credit hours and still

He had thick heavy dark eye brows and a birdish nose so I think he thinks he is correct for appearing christian but russians are a different racial diaspora

Rush Rush rush for all the incompetence

He had a glass crack pipe he tried to leave around me to blame me for refusing to go to harm reduction across the street

Ya know the types of people who still skate smoke and no one likes them...

He tried to give me old expired food and sat on the bag the food was in....then finally left not wanting to heckle me anymore so I assume someone with dogs will make a very wrong statement towards him

He has to be one of the criminals

And that was just wrong

I moved the creepy glass pipe away from me and made a cairn over it so it's found as evidence

I am okay the starvation isn't too cruel it confesses that the food was blocking my trigger nerve and I am having an allergy to something

The blockage stopped and the pain stopped on its own

Something apparently wanted to confess that it really hasn't been any good to me

Most of the rejection assaults like trying to cause public defecation......stop if Tesla's aren't allowed around so it's apparently Elon musk who is really deficient in paying normal taxation

The area was finally quiet to me but I don't recommend....a time to kill there is a serial killer around that wants to find subcultures like Jew minorities for being willing to kill urban animals for food....

I saw someone starved like a Nazi concentration victim but she already had her fashions and privileges on her so I think she knows to call crisis and Jewish family services and know a rabbinical Elie weisel type is worried about her like a friend

So I think it's that that the starvation keeps happening a Jewish minority really needs to be with Japan and the beef e.coli is still getting spread around

The mission inn....he was in a Wisconsin asylum for like 20 years creating a Disneyland character so he may join systems that don't have to have a conscience

Jewish animated films for children....some of those characterizations are like Nazi Germany twin studies of Jews

Week 3: Fútbol, Art, and Day Trips

Well...I'm an Atlético fan now. We bought tickets to the Atlético vs. Real Madrid game this week, because what better game to go to than that one??? It was at the Atlético stadium, and coming in, I didn't really have any particular loyalty to any team and was there mostly for the vibes. But about 5 minutes into entering the stadium and hearing the Atlético fans, their energy was so contagious, I couldn't help but cheer just as passionately for them. I love my college football, but watching soccer at a European stadium—and at the energetic Atlético stadium—was an experience that doesn't even come close, and one that I'll never forget. While the Big House is bigger, the fans here were cheering so loud, that the stadium felt just as big, if not bigger. It was also amazing that Atlético ended up winning! 

The next day, I went to a Monet exhibition, and WOW!! I've been to many art museums in my life, and have even seen many Monet pieces before, but this exhibition is definitely in my top 3 I've seen. It focused on Monet's life and progression of his work, and I even got to see the actual paint palette that he used! Seeing that was kind of like a window into his artist brain. I learned that Monet grew most of the flowers and plants he painted in his garden specifically to paint them, which I find super cool!!

Over the weekend, I traveled to Segovia and Toledo, two cities about an hour from Madrid, for a day trip. They're both historical and older cities, and it was so cool to see all the old buildings and structures that have been there for centuries! The aqueduct in Segovia was actually breathtaking, and I can’t believe it was built in the 1st century AD by the Romans. The aqueduct doesn’t have any cement or anything holding the stone together, so the fact that it’s still standing centuries later truly is an engineering marvel. I was so amazed by the aqueduct, that that’s what I did my drawing of the week on! Another fun fact is that the castle there is what inspired Walt Disney and Disneyland, and it really did feel like it was straight out of a medieval fairytale. 

In Toledo, we saw the huge fortress as well as a beautiful monastery and cathedral, but my favorite part by far was the gorgeous sunset we saw overlooking the city. After the sunset, we walked around the city in the dark, and somehow it got even better. The lights illuminating the walls were gorgeous, and thinking about how many centuries ago everything was built really gave me a lot of perspective into the rich history of the country. One of the coolest things about Toledo was that it has Moorish, Christian, and Jewish influences in its architecture and history. The way they preserved everything was also amazing to see. Inside the Alcázar in Toledo, they created raised platforms over the ruins so visitors could view the real formations without disturbing them. 

Every time I go to an old city, I can’t help but think about just how old everything is. Like things are older than the entire country of the United States, and that’s just crazy to me. Anything we have in the US is newer than the history from the ancient civilizations here, and I’m always super grateful and humbled when I see all the buildings built by the Romans and others that still stand today. As an engineer, it also makes me think about the lasting impact I have the potential to have when I create things for society, and it makes me think: how do we build things for society today that can last in a way that’s beneficial to everyone? Like being intentional with the materials we use especially from the earth. How do we minimally disturb the community to build what we need to? Like building around people’s lives instead of displacing them. 

I highly, highly recommend everyone to go see the Roman ruins here, or anywhere else in the world at least once. And just think about what it might have been like to build it centuries ago.

This was a long one, but that’s it for now!

See y’all next week :)

For the crowd, and because pointing these out is very fun for me because I grew up and still live in the same areas Alda grew up in:

among many other things, it’s how much Yiddish slang he uses (tush/tuchus, nosh, chutzpah, etc.), the fact that in one episode he daydreamed of eating whitefish from a deli in Jersey, a very Jewish food from a very Jewish place, didn’t know how the story of Androcles/St. Jerome and the Lion ended, and how he fails traditional American masculinity in almost every respect but his ideals and behavior are nearly the perfect spitting image of the Jewish mensch. And being friends with “commies” growing up. He reeks of “kid of assimilating Jewish parent” (which also accounts for not keeping kosher. I don’t think you could ever keep that man from wanting to devour the world’s plenty regardless. He’s a foodie and a hedon.)

Of course, he also just reeks of New Yorker, a very Jewish city. I also have a feeling the writers were pretty NY-aligned too—and yes, as mentioned, also Jewish. NY is also a huge movie/TV city and it’s not uncommon for it and LA to trade people. Several characters make very clever references to it, including Trapper saying “she goes to work in the States at the corner of 42nd and somewhere,” referring to how Times Square used to be a red light district—which would’ve still been true in the 70s-80s, actually. Manhattan didn’t become a corporate Disneyland until very recently. Some other characters also use Yiddish, but it’s centered mostly on Hawkeye due to the kind of person he is. You’d never catch Margaret using “schmutz” or “schlep.” And don’t forget: a lot of New York slang is just straight up Yiddish.

Also he just. Talks like a New Yorker. He’s an Italian guy from Jersey/NY who married a Jewish woman. It’s everywhere. There’s plenty more details still, and even more if you take what he does with the idea of him being Jewish, but these are the things I can remember off the top of my head.

My friends and I like to joke that he’s from the Maine neighborhood of New York. “Look—this is home!” “I thought you said Crabapple Cove was a small town?” “Yeah, it’s only a few blocks big.”

one of the best arguments for hawkeye pierce being jewish is that a number of people who've watched a decent amount of mash keep assuming alan alda himself is jewish because of hawkeye's entire everything. so obviously Something is going on there that people are picking up on (likely courtesy of larry gelbart)
