three things can be true at the same time. 1, christian (and ex-christian) arab, muslim, etc cultures are all deeply steeped in antisemitism. 2, muslims, christians etc who do fight antisemitism come from that same culture but are some of the loudest and most cherished allies. 3, there are tons of christians and muslims who aren't antisemitic, don't give two shits about jews neither hate nor love, full stop, and treating all christians and muslims as suspect is racist as hell.
antisemites are not subtle, smart, ethical, truthful or just "misspeaking"/"well meaning" when they cover their antisemitism with antizionist talk. they tell you who they are in a million different ways and treating large groups like they are all antisemites for being born is as wrong as hating all woman, men, blacks, whites, etc for the same.
idk. i just don't want to end up funneling my anger at the media and the amsterdam pogrom and the many many attacks against jews around the world into bigotry. i have to periodically remind myself that most people are normal and the jew hatred I'm constantly exposed to is done by people who mean to do it and want me funneled into the same bigoted bullshit that they are steeped in. i never want to abandon my humanity to become a racist like that, especially not because racists attack me.
#jumblr#leftist antisemitism#antisemitism#sorry#i know this is my thousandth post like this but its important to me that i stay the kind of person i respect#the amount of anti muslim and anti arab media i get suggested for being pro israel is disgusting#it's one of the things that makes me so mad about leftists is that they expect me to support trump just because they hate jews and lie#humans deserve dignity and deserve to live#i repeat myself for myself and my personhood

Ignorant goy: how can you say that it’s possible for a Jewish person to spread antisemitism (because every other minority group can have internalized bigotry but not Jews because where not seen as individuals or people)? Doesn’t that make you the real antisemite (<- contradicting themselves)???
My alt right family members who’ve voted for people who want them dead and are ashamed of being Jewish because of internalized antisemitism, and who I had to cut off because of their bigotry: hi
#goyim shut the fuck up about things you know nothing about challenge#also news flash#antisemites on tumblr can just straight up lie about being Jewish#it’s any easy way to shut down any accusation of being antisemitic#but of course I’m the untrustworthy Jew for talking about antisemitism 🙄#tw antisemitism#antisemitism#internalized antisemitism#mine

A lynch mob has stormed the airport in Dagestan, Russia to look for Jewish passengers after finding out that a plane from Tel Aviv is about to land.
They have also stopped police cars in front of the airport and are searching and asking for Jews.

“i don’t understand why you guys keep bitching about leftist antisemitism. i’m a leftist jew and i NEVER experience antisemitism!! all i had to do was reject all religious aspects of judaism that couldn’t be weaponized for ActivismTM, not wear any religious garb unless it’s to make a point, be white or white passing, lie about my family who lives in israel or talk loudly and frequently about how i hope they all die, allow my gentile comrades to make holocaust jokes and comparisons, and harass other jews who haven’t put their identity up for auction like i have. it’s literally that easy so if you’re complaining about it it’s probably because your a baby killer pedophile subhuman zionist scumbag, just like my friend stalinworshipper42069 said.”

“why are jews so mad about stuff that happened hundreds of years ago” it’s because the timeline of antisemitism on wikipedia looks like this:

some centuries have their own separate articles. here’s the decade leading up to the creation of the term “anti-semitism” from the nineteenth century article:


so like. i think anyone with a brain can understand why jews are pissed off. and if your knee jerk reaction to learning about the history of antisemitism is to ask “what did the jews do?” nothing. the convenient lie is that jews have been persecuted throughout the centuries because of some inherent malignancy or evil disposition. the truth is more simple: people hate jews. and the truth is also more complex: people would rather believe jews are worth hating than confront the shame they themselves feel upon learning about the long history of antisemitic violence around the world. and the longer that shame exists, the more corrosive it becomes.
and what do human beings do when they feel ashamed? they project that feeling onto others. they may even blame the source of that shame, even if that source wasn’t the cause. rinse and repeat. it’s a very, very old cycle. just like how antisemitism is a very, very old cycle. not sure what the exact point of this post is, but i would love to stop seeing goyim dismiss jewish anger and trauma and grief for five minutes.

Like sorry that I won't shut up but I just want to remind everyone that this is what Jews have been dealing with for the past year from leftists and what y'all have been full speed ahead supporting and what the American public has been seeing. And that to act like this had no effect on anything is so delusional it borders on a conspiracy theory.






























Like this is not online discourse it is shit you guys have been promoting for months and months, in real life, in rallies, in speeches, in protests, in posters and graffiti which has insisted through both literal directives and extremely obvious implications that the moral and right thing to do is not vote but participate in harassing and terrorizing Jews in some bizarre LARP of a revolution against the (((Capitalist Zionists))). You really think none of this had an effect? Really? Really? Or do you just not want to take responsibility for your actions now that we ALL have to reap what you sowed?
Despite all this, it is worth mentioning that preliminary exit polls are showing that Jewish people are the SINGLE ONLY demographic group that did not move towards Trump this election for some fucking reason. So please for the love of god. Cut the crap and deal with your own Nazification because it's now with 100% certainty going to get so many people killed.
Idk guys, maybe people are blaming leftists who refused to vote because of genocide because I literally saw them holding political rallies last weekend in a swing state telling people not to vote
Like it wasn't just tumblr leftists saying not to vote for Kamala, or at all, because of Palestine. Those were real people I walked past last Saturday in Pennsylvania, a key swing state. They had megaphones in front of Philadelphia city hall and a sizeable crowd. I feel like we can, in fact, say they are partly culpable here.
#i have THOUSANDS of these pictures btw that i took over the past few months bc i got so fucking sick of people accusing me and every other#jew of LYING about this#ENOUGH. this is your fucking fault!!! all of you who promoted this shit and went along with it!!!#and now we all have to lie in the bed you made!!#jumblr#antisemitism#leftist antisemitism#us elections#election 2024#trump#leftist hypocrisy#gingerswagfreckles#jewblr#jfc

I think people forget that the Nazis never said they were the bad guys. If someone says, hey, I’m evil! You don’t let them take over your country. They presented themselves as scientific, not hateful. By their own account, they were progressives, and the superiority of White Europe over the other races was a proven and immutable fact. They had scientists and archaeologists and historians to prove it. They didn’t tell people they wanted to kill the Jews because they were hateful. They manufactured evidence to frame us for very real tragedies, and they had methodological research to prove that we were genetically predisposed to misconduct. Wouldn’t you believe that?
Hollywood has spent the last 80 years portraying the Nazis as an obvious and intimidating evil. That’s a good thing in some ways, because we want general audiences to recognize that they were evil. But we also want them to be able to recognize how and why they came to power. Not by self-describing themselves as an evil empire, but by convincing people that they were the good guys and the saviors. They hosted the Olympics. Several European countries capitulated and volunteered themselves to the Empire. There were American and British Fascist Parties. They had broad public support. Hollywood never shows that part, so general audiences never learn to recognize the actual signs of antisemitism.
People today think they can’t possibly be antisemitic, because they’re leftist! They abhor bigotry! They could never comprehend Nazi ideology coming from the mouth of a bisexual college student wearing a graphic tee and jeans. How could they? The only depiction of antisemites they’ve ever seen have been gaunt, pale, middle-aged men in black leather trench coats with skulls on their caps.
If the Nazis time-travelled from the 1930s and wanted to take power now, they’d change their original tactics, but not by much. They would target countries suffering from an identity crisis and an economic collapse. They would portray themselves as the pinnacle of what that society considers progressive. Back then, it was race science. These days it’s performative wokeness. Once they’d garnered enough respect and reputation, they’d begin manufacturing propaganda and lies to manipulate people’s anger and fears at a single target— Jews.
If the Nazis made an actual return, they wouldn’t look like neo-Nazis. They wouldn’t be nearly as obvious about their hatred. Their evil wouldn’t give them yellow eyes, and no suspenseful music would play when they walked in the room. They’d be friendly. They’d look like you. They would learn what things your community fears and what things you already hate. They would lie and fabricate evidence to connect the rich elites and the imperialists you revile to a single source of unequivocal Jewish evil. It wouldn’t be hard— they already have two-thousand years of institutional antisemitism they can rely on to paint their picture.
If you’re curious why antisemitism today is coming from grassroots organizations, young, liberal college campuses, suburban neighborhoods with pride flags and All Are Welcome Here signs? That’s why. It’s because, as a global society, we’ve forgotten that the world didn’t used to see the Nazis as bad guys. And what is forgotten about history is doomed to be repeated.

You know how I know that the anti-Israel hate is deeply rooted in antisemitism, and not just "social justice" or whatever people are calling it right now?
Let me tell you a common situation I encounter:
So, being a college student away from home, I don't have a car here. This means that if I ever need to go anywhere, I need to get an Uber or Lyft or something along those lines.
I always tuck in my Bring Them Home tag, magen david, turn my "am Yisrael chai" pin to the inside of my clothes, etc. I hate doing it, but I have heard of violently antisemitic drivers, and I'd rather not risk it, considering I'm alone in the car with them.
Every time, I call my mom. It makes me safer to have someone on call. And every time, she makes the same two recommendations.
The first is to put in an address of a neighboring house for pickup, because the house I live in has my landlord's car out front, and his car has stickers in Hebrew on it.
The second is, if asked where I'm from, to say Russia. I don't get asked where I'm "really from" unless I'm with my parents usually (they both have strong accents). But it's a warning my mom repeats every time anyway. The choice of Russia isn't random, I was raised fluent and can back up the claim if need be with random knowledge. But I have never been to Russia, except for the airport once to catch a connecting flight to Israel. I was, however, born in Israel, and I've been there multiple times (unfortunately not since 2014 though). So to say I'm from Russia is a lie, and to say I'm from Israel is the truth.
Both are countries at war. Russia, unlike Israel, actually started the war. Unlike Israel, Russia actually does have a history of colonialism, genocide, imperialism, and worse.
So why is it safer for me to lie about being from an aggressor country than to tell the truth about being from a country caught in a war it didn't want?
Antisemitism. Anti-Russian hate crimes globally didn't spike, Russian women haven't been raped as "justice" for Ukraine. Russian businesses weren't commonly vandalized simply for being from Russia. Meanwhile, all of these things were done to Jews as a result of a war Israel did not start.
If this global response to the war wasn't antisemitism it would be equally safe or unsafe for me to give either answer.
But in reality, it's safer for me to lie about being from Russia than to tell the truth about being from Israel.
That's how I know it's antisemitism.

There's a moment in Hotel Rwanda where Nick Nolte, playing UN Colonel Oliver, says to Don Cheadle as Paul Rusesabagina, "You're black. You're not even a ni**er. You're African," to explain to Paul why the wider world doesn't give a shit about the Rwandan genocide. It is partially a rebuke against the UN itself.
And it's something that's rung in my head over and over as I've seen the rise in antisemitism and loudly called it out as often as I can. And all I can hear is Nick Nolte's voice in my head saying, "You're not even people. You're Jews. You're not even Jews. You're Israelis."
And truly, that's what it feels like as over and over and over again Jews are blamed for existing and Israelis, in particular, are blamed for existing and refusing to lie down and die to make happy some of the worst propaganda-eating fuckshits to ever loudly open their mouths and say they're for human rights and dignity and then repeat blood libel and Hamas talking points.
I've been trying to find a way to say this with some sort of eloquence for awhile, but it's really as simple as I've made it here. Jews are being punished over and over and over again for existing, and people who think they're on the right side of things (including the UN and the Red Cross and many other groups who claim to be about humanitarian efforts) show their disregard and dismissal of Jews being human on a daily basis and get a pass from other people who claim to care about their fellow humans. But really, it's only their fellow humans who line up with them on an ever changing moral scale that adjusts so the ones hating Jews can pretend it's not antisemitism but some new thing they just invented that is totally not antisemitism.
To every Jew who sees this: I'm just a loud goy with a fuck you streak, and I hope it helps to know I see the struggle and abuses and outright blood libel shit and will not be quiet about how you are being dehumanized and shit on by people who talked a big talk of having your back and then immediately stabbed you in it when the chance to parrot a terrorist organization was just too tempting.

I have mentioned and written a few things like this in the past, and I’m in full agreement with you. This is blatant pseudoscience, revisionism, and lying through omission.
This is, unfortunately, the “I love science” activist tactic by people who are not actually scientists. If they were, especially if they were an ecologist or anything similar, they’d have an understanding or the wherewithal to look up the ecological and environmental history. Said history and the scientific progress Israel has made in ecological and environmental matters is quite impressive.
Now some of you might be saying "But Kai Heron is a political ecologist, he knows what he's talking about". No he doesn't. Political ecology is not ecology, it's a variation of political science. The people in this field are not scientists, they're policymakers and advisers who view science through their own personal political biases and views. They're not trained scientists who actively try and leave their biases at the door. It's the difference between a polisci individual being a science advisor versus an actual scientist being one.
For a real world example, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln actually has several courses that teach their natural resource science students how to advise and interact with politicians and the public; draft policies, SOPs, and other important documents; and generally work in political positions relating to science and politics.
Political ecology programs do not do this. As an extension of political science, they're taking polisci concepts and applying them to ecology. A few courses are taken to cover some basic and advanced topics, but they have nowhere near the training of actual scientists. And again, their biases and beliefs influence how they interpret the science.
In this case, the bias is very, very apparent. Heron is a self confessed and identifying eco-Marxist and Leninist according to his own about pages on the various academic institutes and organizations he belongs to.
In short; he's a tankie.
He's a tankie using the language of academia and political science to disguise his bias.
As I’ve said before, if any of the greening projects were done by any other country they’d be celebrated. However, because the one Jewish country that everyone despises has done them they instead loathe and/or lie about it incessantly.
In this case, you have to keep in mind that the "It's not antisemitism, it's anti-Zionism" rhetoric that tankies like Heron and others profess originates from the Soviets. It was used to add a veneer of "credibility" to violent and oppressive antisemitic actions because Zionism was deemed a "threat to the state". Heron and other tankies are just continuing this tradition by couching their antisemitism in the same rhetoric and defense. This rhetoric is used to harm and diminish Jews in every way, and since Israel decided it was not going to ally with the USSR back during the Cold War it has since been weaponized. This is just an example of it being weaponized by an academic and a clear example of them trying to use their credentials to legitimize it.
And if you really, really want to know why Dr. Heron is not credible; he's not even talking about the actual non-native tree that Israel planted to drain the various swamplands - Eucalyptus. In fact, I've not seen one person who uses some form of the above talking points mention eucalyptus trees at all. It's always mentioning pine trees, and both the aleppo and cyprus trees that were planted are native to the region. It further goes to show that Dr. Heron is not an expert in ecology or the ecological history of the region, or he is blatantly lying through omission and purposeful obfuscation to push an agenda. In either case his opinion is moot and should be ignored like the non-expert he is.


This is pseudoscience where it isn’t actively anti-science.
The pines planted in Israel are Aleppo pines, which are indigenous and have been recorded by observers for literally millennia. Far from “devastating” native oaks and carobs and whatever, Israel planted tons of those varieties too. And there can be no discussion of the well-being of Israeli forests without noting that Palestinian militants are highly proficient at arson and have practically made mountainous tire-fires their trademark.
As for the idea that the Zionists were “trying to create European-style forests” - the implication that the local environment was “normal” before they “changed” it is entirely a social construct reeking of unexamined privilege. The Roman Empire massively deforested Israel along with the rest of the Mediterranean. Our popular concept of the Middle East as a land of desert and scrubland is artificial, but comes naturally to people who think the world began in like 1700.
The Palestinian mountain gazelle is indeed endangered in Israel, and some of their populations are jeopardized by habitat and genetic fragmentation caused by the West Bank barriers. However, the largest and most stable population of the species is found in the Golan Heights, where they roam freely without such barriers and have enjoyed a significant rebound in numbers now that they are no longer subject to hunting from Syria. More importantly, the Palestinian mountain gazelle has already been wiped out in Egypt, and also in Syria and Jordan - perhaps some invisible Mossad agents went on safari? The species was on the brink of extinction in Turkey, until it was quite accidentally saved when the Turkish military set up a no-man’s-land on the border with Syria in response to its civil war.
It’s also worth noting that the first post in that Twitter thread (not screencapped onto the Tumblr post, hmm...) was Heron calling for BDS. When Israel really is the only country in that region where forest cover is growing and where the mountain gazelles have any chance at survival, uh, why should we overthrow the government, again? That would help the environment how, precisely? The Kai Herons of the world would call that “greenwashing,” because they don’t actually give a shit about the environment, they just misappropriate journal-jargon to mask how ridiculous and unprincipled their accusations are.
Last and least, the concept that “Palestinian liberation is a climate issue” is just a perfect crystallization, French waiter palm-kiss, of how lefty activists try to run in every direction at once and get nowhere. Climate protection has failed because it requires the entire world to unfuck foundational problems in our economic, technological, and political lives - but Palestinian liberation is still a matter of a signature and a handshake, two parties looking at made-up lines on a very small map. For white European activists to insist that Palestinians may only make progress if we first make progress on climate change just shows how they only see Palestinians as tools and symbols and not as people.
CODA:
This is a case of me being ABSOLUTELY fucking petty enough to reconstruct and restart a post after someone blocked me and prevented reblogs of the original.
For more on the pseudoscience and anti-environmentalism of Palestine activists see lots of links here. For more on the actual environmental history and diversity of the region, see the tags.
#jumblr#israeli wildlife#antisemitism#leftist antisemitism#both of the accounts that are in the photo are incredibly bad#those accounts share and put out antisemitic statements a lot and use as a Jew to defend them#they lie about Israel a lot as well and use as a Jew to defend the lies#and they often share shit like this thread and justify it through the same means#problem is that the scientific evidence says otherwise and so they block you when called out

Oh, that explains why I'm getting hate today. STA made a post about me. They must be really upset that a forensic scientist posting reasonable and measured takes, explaining how forensic science works, using their experience as a colloquially known "death expert" to debunk things, calling out propaganda, calling out antisemitism, and using their years of experience as a professor and scientist to address misinformation is undermining their entire grift.
But that's STA's MO. They have to lie about the content of a blog they don't like to villainize it. Especially if that blog isn't a massive vitriolic cesspit that instead offers nuanced takes and doesn't take radical accelerationist positions that are supported by appeals to emotion. For STA, if you come back to my blog, remember how you pretended to be an Israeli then got caught using a bad translator that used niqqud and put out stuff that modern Hebrew speakers said was wrong? Remember how you then retconned your backstory to being an Israeli-ex pat who moved to CT because of the war? Which still didn't explain why you couldn't actually write Hebrew like someone who grew up in Israel? So you then retconned again to someone whose family moved when they were a teen to CT? And that another retcon still didn't explain how you failed at faking speaking Hebrew so badly? Then when people checked with the CT communities and no one could verify an Israeli ex-pat family according to your backstory you retconned to just being "ethnically Jewish"?
Remember how you pretended to be a "Zionist" but were just pushing stereotypical Kahanist rhetoric to try and get Zionists to agree with you, and when jumblr called you out you then became a raging antisemite and got your original blog deactivated by staff? You remember that, right?
I guess your grift is going well since you're sending people my way, but I'm loving that they have to make throwaways to send me hate. Have fun with that.
And for anyone coming to my blog to spread said hate and attack me, a big red warning sign that an account is not run by an actual Jew is if they call other Jews they disagree with Nazis. We have words for that kind of person, Nazi is not one of them because the core of Nazism requires antisemitism. Only a Jew-faker who has a history of Jew faking and got their original blog nuked by staff would call a Jew a Nazi.
Notice how they don't call out Christian Zionists and focus solely on calling Jews the "real" Nazis? Yeah...that should be your first and only moment to realize stoptheantisemitism isn't who or what they say they are.
Unfortunately I know none of this will be accepted by their fan base and that respective circle of antisemites. But hey, one can hope. Right?
(Also, for clarity; the receipts are out there but the original blog that had them deactivated for personal reasons. Some of them are easily found whereas others are not. We, meaning jumblr, didn't screenshot and catalogue everything during their initial blog because we didn't think that the grift would be this bad. Personally, I yell at myself for not following proper forensic practice and take screenshots for evidence sake. I hate using personal experiences as anecdotal evidence, but that's where we are at. We're in a they said/they said situation. Which is why this is still going on)
#jumblr#antisemitism#leftist antisemitism#intersectional antisemitism#Grifters gonna grift#Stoptheantisemitism is a grifter and you all are falling for it#stoptheantisemitism got outed as a Jew faker like the original tikkunolamresistance did#Yet somehow ya'll still believe they're one of us

so there's a lot of rhetoric around delegitimising jewsih people as the primary target of the holocaust if not outright removing them from the conversation. there's a plethora of reasons but one thats being overlooked is russia.
state sponsored troll farms have been pushing narratives in order to push attention away from their actions in ukraine, syria and the sahel. when it comes to the holocaust it goes back to the soviet era propaganda about the Great Patriotic War which is what the soviets called world war two. it was taught in school books that slavs were the true target of the holocaust because 24 million soviets died during world war two which if you just look at raw numbers will absolutely appeal to the various flavours of tankies and antisemites (tho that venn diagram is nearly a perfect circle).
the problem with this as a historical fact is its largely fabricated to feed russian nationalism. firstly many of the soviets sent to concentration camps were from conquered territories like ukraine and were sent because they were jewish, not slavic. secondly the vast majority of deaths on the soviet side were due to colossal failures in command essentially throwing soldiers to their deaths, starving civilians to the bone and utter disregard for logistics. thirdly the underpinning of the 24 million slav deaths is ignore the ethnic diversity of the soviet union and ultimately push the narrative that it was mostly russians who suffered in ww2. cossacks, chechyens, ingush, siberians, everyone suddenly became soviet which meant slav which meant as head of the republics they were then renamed as russians.
they all became russian to the nationalist history. all so russia can claim to be the ones who defeated the nazis while the satellite states sat on their hands. which justifies russian invasion in order to 'save' the baltics and eastern europe and ultimately russian control because the locals couldn't be trusted to do it right.
lastly the whole point of the holocaust was the eliminate the jewish people and anyone the nazis blamed them for corrupting, lgbt people were a jewish plot to pervert the family order, the communists were a jewish plot to take over the world (even tho the soviets were pogromming their jews at the same time), disabled people were a jewish plot to poison the aryan genes. this is why even when the nazi war effort was on its knees and berlin was in sight of the allies, they were still sending jews to the camps with resources that could have been used for defense. because the point of the war wasn't just to conquer europe. to the nazis the goal of the war was the exterminate the jews.
this is how numbers can be used to lie so anyone using numbers to 'debunk' the holocaust is pushing a dangerous message. this is how you will know its russian disinformation when the rhetoric moves beyond it wasn't about the jews and starts trying to name who the holocaust was actually about

I think the reason the Miku thing is so grating is because it represents a bigger trend in fandom. Everyone can have religious headcanons, except Jewish people. Spider-Man can be any ethnicity, nationality, etc. except Jewish or Israeli. MCU characters can be AU'd into being different races or having different powers, but don't you dare say Captain America is Jewish in your story. Digimon says there's heroes in every country but if you make an Israeli one or say one in one country is Jewish, you support genocide now. Miku has no canon ethnicity and people from over 60 countries have drawn her as their ethnicity or nationality or both, but don't you ever imply Israeli Miku is okay.
And the real, very clear subtext underneath all of that is clear: you don't get to be in fandom spaces. You don't get to relax and take a break from the world. You can't sit back and dream up any character who is both heroic and Jewish. You don't get to have fiction as a fun escape from day to day life. Your being Jewish makes you ineligible for that kind of joy, even in fandoms where the source material was written by Jews in the first place.
It doesn't help that so many Vocaloid fans are kids so with Miku in particular, we're seeing kids as young as 11 or 12 get bullied out of fandom spaces by adults. Hey, Pro-Pals? Hamasniks? Let me let you in on a secret: ZERO PALESTINIANS ARE HELPED BY THIS! You think someone living in a warzone is helped by you yelling at a child for daring to draw a fictional singer as Israeli? Do you honestly believe that someone somewhere is one step closer to liberation because you tore into a 14 year on Twitter over a doodle they posted?
No. No, you don't honestly believe that. This is not about helping Palestinians. This is about punishing Jewish people - and in this case in particular, Jewish children - for existing in public. This is about penalizing people for acknowledging that Judaism exists, for imagining themselves in fiction instead of imagining worlds in which they don't exist, for interrupting your fantasies of a Jew-free Earth.
The issue is not Miku, it's that the Miku debacle is part of a nearly year-long trend of goyim yelling at us for existing Jewishly and unabashedly. And all that hate and constant anger is a lot to take. Especially when so many people lie to us, saying it's not about antisemitism, it's about [buzzword here].
Yeah, no. If you're yelling at children for imagining Jewish characters existing, you're being antisemitic. It's not about anything else. Stop lying.

The smugness of this is taking me out 😭 no historians, zero percent, actually think there's evidence of an ancient Davidic Empire that extended to those borders in the thumbnail. Many religious people believe it to be true, and no offense to them, but there was never a United Kingdom of Israel during the First Temple Period. However, these antisemitic troll channels will never contend with the irrefutable historical record on the Kingdom of Iudaea, which had diplomatic relations with, and later conflict with, Rome. Kind of hard to deny that that was a real Jewish state in the southern Levant, no?
If they're even smart enough to acknowledge Judea, it's usually brushed aside with some "Yeah but Judaism as we know it today didn't even exist at that time." The conceit being that modern Rabbinical Judaism is some grand lie or conspiracy. Anything and everything Jews do is shady and duplicitous after all. They not only want to break off Jewish history after the destruction of the First Temple, but also the Second. "No see your alleged people's culture and history and spiritual practices changed, were they ever real in the first place 🤣? No, you're not a nation, ignore the bevvy of 19th century philosophers who laid the foundation for Zionism as a political movement which centered on Jewish Peoplehood as its own ethnic group, First Temple "Judaism" was actually polytheistic lol! And that's why Israel intends colonize Iraq and Egypt and also are orchestrating the replacement of the white ra- 🤓"
I didn't watch this video, I don't need to. I saw enough of the comments and more recommended videos from this channel to know what I already knew: this person is a rabid antisemitic conspiracy theorist and their audience is mostly made up of the same. Every comment under the sun from "the Israel lobby" to "chosen people lol" to "what they don't realize is that they're not the only semites." It's tedious.
I'm so bored with people who refuse to learn about Jewish history, who revel in their own ignorance as they decide who the Jewish people were and are, and why they have done all the things they've done. They don't want a Jewish perspective, that's tantamount to "brainwashing." Making up stories and relaying secondhand theories from people who unironically peddle in blood libels is "waking up from brainwashing." And when you only accept information about a historically persecuted and vulnerable minority group from people outside that group on the pretext that said group is too dangerous and powerful and ill-intentioned to tell their own story... how are you not a bigot? That's more than bigotry, that's like one step away from a call to violence in my mind.
