#like. slurs & holocaust denial

[badolmen]

Hey I saw some people sharing an infographic with this logo on it and, uh, I’m assuming you don’t know much about this group?

Stop Zionist Hate is a neo-nazi organization and platform. If you see the SZH logo do not spread their posts. They’re using your sympathy for Palestine to lead you into agreeing with their white supremacy. Don’t fall for it. Fuck Zionists. Fuck Nazis.

Well its happened, the face eating leopards have eaten the face of an antizionist jew, for talking out about holocaust denial and minimization

So this all stems from a black content creator talking about how little genocides affecting black folk get talked about (which is true, they do deserve to be spoken about) however in the video, she questioned the amount of jews killed in the holocaust, and minimized the holocaust."The Holocaust wasn't that bad it's used a tool of indoctrination, we need to look at things in perspective" quote from the creator.

Yuval, a Jewish content creator called her out for holocaust denying and minimization. Yuval is also staunchly antizionist. Like made a whole video throwing other jews under the bus by saying no antizionism is ever antisemitism.

Now, simply because he spoke out about holocaust denial, he is getting labeled a zionist, having words he did not say shoved in his mouth, and is now considered a "bad jew".

And honestly? It's fucking terrifying. Even as a zionist jew, it is terrifying. Calling out what most antizionists would consider to be antisemitism, now makes you a bad jew and a zionist. Jews have already been silenced when talking about antisemitism, but now it's full scale. You can't even talk about blatent antisemitism without being silenced.

I would not be surprised if we see a full scale pogrom happen in the nest future.

Zionist has officially lost is meaning of thinking a Jewish state should exist, it's now a word for any jew who thinks antisemitism is bad. It is so close to becoming a proper slur.

Opposing Antisemitism is Hard When You Just Assume It's a Political Stunt

The Republican Party of Texas just voted down a resolution that would have barred the state GOP from associating with persons "known to espouse or tolerate antisemitism, pro-Nazi sympathies or Holocaust denial." The internet is having a field day over this, and understandably so. Meanwhile, one of the resolution's proponents is baffled: “I just don’t understand how people who routinely refer to others as leftists, liberals, communists, socialists and RINOs (‘Republicans in Name Only’) don’t have the discernment to define what a Nazi is,” committee member Morgan Cisneros Graham told the Tribune after the vote. Far from raising a question, Graham has in fact answered it. The litany listed here -- "leftists, liberals, communists, socialists, RINOs" -- none of these are, in their "routine" use by Republican officials, terms that are actually meant to carry some sort of principled semantic meaning. They're slurs -- bits of rhetorical seasoning, nothing more. And it's no surprise that Republicans treat antisemitism and Nazism, like all other "-isms", in the same fashion -- as a contentless slur one opportunistically hurls at political opponents. They have genuinely drunk their own kool-aid on this. They really don't think that, when people talk about antisemitism or neo-Nazis, they might be referring to something real and objective in the world. Of course it's meaningless theater.  And if one believes that, then it absolutely makes sense why one would be worried about vagueness and unclear boundaries. The article observes that some committee members "questioned how their colleagues could find words like 'antisemitism' too vague, despite frequently lobbing it and other terms at their political opponents." Again, this bafflement disappears once one realizes that for these Republicans, the vagueness and lack of definition is a service, not a barrier, to the frequent lobbing -- it is because they studiously avoid thinking that antisemitism means anything that they can toss it out to attack everything. This is why one can never trust Republicans to tackle antisemitism. I mean yes, for the obvious reason that they can't even reliably disavow Nazis. But also for the slightly less obvious but still important reason that their entire orientation towards "antisemitism" is that it is nothing more than a gambit in a political game.* They don't take it seriously as an actual, extant phenomenon, and so they'll never be able to respond to it as one. * Somewhere -- I can't find it -- I remarked on how Republicans, shortly after Ilhan Omar's "Benjamins" controversy, tried to gin up another controversy over Omar aggressively questioning conservative foreign policy maven Elliott Abrams. There was transparently nothing there on the Abrams thing, but many conservatives seemed baffled that their antisemitism claims weren't getting traction after so much attention was paid to the "Benjamins" tweet. What was the difference? The possibility that the difference could be explained by actual substance -- the "Benjamins" tweet was plausibly antisemitic, the Abrams questioning was not -- truly, genuinely didn't seem to occur to them. via The Debate Link https://ift.tt/Yj9nldL

I hope it’s ok to ask this, and I mean this incredibly sincerely

how does someone, like me, who’s not Jewish, practice solidarity with and help protect Jews in the US?

I mean honestly even just saying this sort of thing out loud goes pretty far these days. But beyond that, I think the number one thing gentiles could do is speak out when they see antisemitism in their spaces.

Like, when you see holocaust denial or revisionism in leftist spaces, be the one that's like, "hey, that's not cool, I am not okay with that, I don't think you belong here if you talk like a white supremacist."

When you see people stealing Jewish words and redefining them, correct them, be like, "actually, the word zionist goes back to the 19th century and just means the belief in the need for a Jewish state, and there's a lot of differing opinions within it abt what that means, but if it meant the thing you're saying, do you really think that 80+% of Jews would identify as zionist?"

When you see people using anti-Jewish slurs like "zio," which originates from the literal and actual KKK, point out that they are just straight up quoting former grand wizard of the KKK David Duke.

Don't participate in marches that wave flags of terrorist organizations or signs with the bodies of murdered Jews. Don't involve yourself with organizations that ban the star of david or the fucking color blue (real thing that I've seen).

Remember that old story about the bartender that threw a nazi biker out the second he walked in the door, and when asked about it, said that if you don't, suddenly you're a nazi bar? Recognize that's happening on the left, and try to either speak out about or, if you don't feel safe (and you won't a lot of times, and that's valid), just get tf out and don't be in those places or around those people. Don't let them in your life, in your activism, in your mind or heart.

And I think also a really nice thing you can do is like I said, this. Reach out to the Jews in your life and just like. Let them know you're there and you see what's happening. I feel like I'm not alone in this feeling of like, one year of the whole left gaslighting me. My gentile friends, amongst whom are atheists, Buddhists, Christians, who have reached out to me are now some of my most trusted compatriots, because the last year has taught all of us that most people won't. I think compassionate gentiles rn have the opportunity to be way more of a lifeline than they probably realize.

Oh and I guess also if you see someone try to hit me with a sign while I'm mourning my dead, r*ped, and mutilated friend, stop them from doing that. That'd be great on a personal level.

[redditantisemitism]

There’s genuinely too much here to break down, so I’m making a list:

Pic 1:

Use of goyim as an implied slur

Idea that Jews are controlling goyim

Idea that Jews want to enslave goyim

Idea that Jews are rich and taking advantage of other people’s labor

Jews as insider traders, manipulating the economy

Accusing Jews of usury (a la church antisemitism)

Idea that Jews are “subverting culture” [via pornography and liberal ideas, etc. the “Jewish agenda”]

The idea that Jews only care about other Jews and Israel

The idea that Jews want to kill all goyim (and implied to be specifically [good, morally correct] Christians)

The exaggeration of shapiro’s facial features is reminiscent of antisemitic Nazi propaganda (as well as other antisemitic propaganda of the time)

The comparison of Shapiro to a goblin

“Clown art” is a reference to clown world/ r/frenworld, a notoriously vicious hotbed of antisemitism so bad even Reddit managed to get their heads out of their asses and ban it

Like. Come on. I genuinely despise Shapiro too, but we can criticize him without being antisemitic. Unless! Could it be! They actually don’t care at all about Shapiro and are using him as a symbol of all Jews?? No!!

Pic 2:

The title of “Jews lie”. Jews being liars is a longstanding antisemitic trope.

Conflating Jews with Israel

Denying and excusing instances of antisemitism and violence

“Ironic” use of Yiddish in order to poke fun at Jews (also it’s transliterated as chutzpah, not hutzpah)

Holocaust inversions

“The Jew cries out in pain as he strikes you”

Explicit holocaust denial-saying Jews are liars so they must also be lying about the number of us killed in the shoah

Implication that Jews control the police

Implication that “criticism” (antisemitism) of Jews will get you silenced, or worse, when the existence of this comic is blatant proof of that being false

Always note the tags

[spot-the-antisemitism]

I.. I don't. Where the fuck did this leap in logic come from. "Oh, the term nazis like to use online a lot? Usually, at people who are LGBT? Nah, it's fine, bro, because it didn't come from Germany. Fun fact saiscribbles (who purpledemonlilyposting is the main account of.) Fascism, including naziism as a branch. Is an Italian Born political institution whose name is Latin! By this logic, the only true nazis are Latin speaking Italians. Are you fucking kidding me here?

Dear Kamen,

You find this post, you implicitly agree with the anon that Sai is transphobic for saying that Lily Orchard and Patricia Taxxon have groomed children, your citing her main proves you intend to start some sort of harassment campaign and you should be ashamed of yourself

that said Sai, homie, homey, friend, it’s not Godwin’s law to say you’re using nazi slurs. Anon isn’t calling you a nazi, they’re calling you a useful idiot.

It’s not holocaust denial to say your fave blorbo slur was and is used to hurt LGBT people. You know what is? Implying the same tern you’re using wasn’t co-opted by nazis to kill gay men and trans women and lesbians during the Holocaust

we are not your shield this time, Sai

but you think retard means idiot so that’s like talking to a brick wall huh Sai?

yours,

Cecil

DONALD TRUMP'S POLITICAL ACT OF HARA-KIRI

TCinLA

Oct 28, 2024

“Never interfere with an enemy who is defeating himself.” – Napoleon

In February 1939, 100,000 people ringed Madison Square Garden, desiring only to get inside and beat the holy living shit out of the 22,000 American Nazis attending the “Pro American Rally” held inside by the German-American Bund.

In October 2024, the line of MAGAts lining 33rd Street outside Madison Square Garden in hopes of getting inside to participate in Dear Leader’s final hatealong of the 2024 presidential campaign melted away in minutes when they were told by the police at 3:30 pm that the Garden was full. There weren’t 100,000 wanting to see them end up as shitstains on the sidewalks. They were as they have always been, objects of scorn and laughter.

Trump didn’t even match Fritz Kuhn’s numbers from 1939 for his all-important audience size.

MAGA has always been most impressive in the complete lack of self-awareness on the part of the MAGAts. And that moron stupidity has always been most particularly on display among the lifetime losers who declare themselves geniuses and rise to leadership positions in this clown show.

The truth is, these people are not only crazed morons, they are all comic lightweights, idiots who proclaim themselves geniuses, just like Dear Leader. They aren’t even up there with the actors singing “Springtime For Hitler” in The Producers. They would have failed the call to be hired, since Mel Brooks required those he chose to have talent.

Dr. Phil McGraw - once Oprah’s darling who became America’s Shrink despite not actually being a licensed therapist, until he finally got busted for all the sexual hijinks associated with the show and all the lawsuits over the results of his bad advice and his COVID denialism - did his own Trump satire, droning on and on about how Dear Leader was not in fact a bully.

Rudy Giuliani - wearing what is likely the only suit he has left- shouted about how Vice President Harris was “in with the terrorists.”

MAGAMike Johnson, Keebler Speaker of the House of Representatives - who made his reputation as the guy who sued to get the House not to recognize the result of the 2020 election - chattered about the Republican respect for the rule of law.

Self-hating Jewish reincarnation of Holocaust author Reinhard Heydrich Steven Miller rewrote the words he spoke 81 years ago at the Wannsee Conference in his previous life, changing from “Germany is for Germans” to “America is for Americans,” demonstrating once again that he should have been locked in a seabag and thrown off the Santa Monica Pier in the middle of a winter storm back when he was merely the School Pissant at Santa Monica High 20 years ago.

Elmo Muck showed up to decry “illegal immigrants” on the same day the Washington Post brought the receipts to show that he was an “illegal immigrant” while creating the first of his companies. The lies he undoubtedly wrote down when he filled out the forms to get the Top Secret clearance he has constitute a felony that could result not only in the loss of his security clearance but the revocation of his right to be in the United States. No wonder he campaigns for the only candidate who would pardon him.

In 1939, Fritz Kuhn went on about President “Rosenfelt” and Governor Thomas “Jewey,” to thunderous applause. In 2024, some guy named Rosenfeld clearly demonstrated that Kuhn’s slur that all Jews were geniuses was false when he went on about Hillary Clinton, who hasn’t been a candidate for anything for eight years.

Alleged comedian Tony Hinchcliffe went looking for the Kuhn audience, joking about an island of garbage floating in the ocean called Puerto Rico, to gales of laughter from the mouthbreathing audience. The result of that was the endorsement of Kamala Harris by Puerto Rican superstars Bad Bunny, Jlo, and Ricky Martin, energizing the 6 million Puerto Ricans living in the US - most particularly in the battleground states and including the 600,000 who live in the five New York congressional districts that need to be flipped from R to D to end the fuckwittery of MAGA in the House of Representatives.

Hinchcliffe showed he had gained the instant clueless infamy that makes him a self-owning MAGA superstar when he complained that Tim Walz “didn’t get the joke.”

By the time Dear Leader took the stage two hours late, the 22,000 wannabe sieg heilers who got in had dropped to about 16,000 true believers who remained to listen to his regurgitation of his greatest hits, the high point of which was his promise to put RFK Jr in charge of “the health,” and “the drugs” and “the food.”

What the walking proof that you can indeed stack bullshit 6 feet 4 inches high without it toppling over wanted from his rally was a shoutout to Fritz Kuhn as he went Full Fascist. What he got was a radio talk show where Daddy Joe is worried that Sonny Boy is going to come home from school turned into Daughter Dearest by the dastardly public school teachers.

The shedding of crocodile tears by those Republicans who have spent the last eight years bending their knee to Trump, claiming in the aftermath of his shitshow that this time he really had gone too far in attacking the voters they now realize they need to win, was rich.

Sorry, you worthless assholes. You. Own. This. All of it. Every last word from every last tenth-rate moron stupid enough to believe Donald Trump is anything but a candidate to be found dangling by his ankles from a gas station sign.

Yesterday, “the dumbest fucking student who ever walked into my classroom” managed to engineer what will be seen forever by political historians as the coup de grâce to the possibility of his ever being president again. What was happened at Madison Square Garden on October 27, 2024 was an act of political hara-kiri. Rather than confirm the loyalty of his voters to him and their commitment to vote, he energized millions more to vote against him. Even Rick Scott was smart enough to see that.

Trump managed to provide in his final message of the campaign the best case for why he must be defeated. As Charles Pierce observed of the event, “At the end of the day, all that was proven was that these people can’t even be fascists with any kind of dignity.”

Donald Trump is a drooling moron. In fact he’s the most ignorant moron to ever strut onstage in American history.

Last night proved that.

Justin Trudeau's statement on the anniversary of October 7th

One year ago, the terrorist organization Hamas launched a massive, co-ordinated, and horrifying attack against Israel. There are few words to describe the cruelty that comes with the massacre of 1,200 innocent people and abduction of over 200 others – an attack that is the deadliest carried out on Jewish people since the Holocaust. We unequivocally condemn Hamas for the terror they wrought. In the days that followed, and as we learned the full extent of the brutality, we mourned with the community those lost, especially Canadians Vivian Silver, Netta Epstein, Alexandre Look, Judih Weinstein, Shir Georgy, Ben Mizrachi, and Adi Vital-Kaploun, as well as those with close ties to Canada, like Tiferet Lapidot. May their memories be a blessing. Our thoughts go to all Israelis and Jewish people, whose lives have been shaken by this unthinkable tragedy and who continue to live in pain, fear, and uncertainty – including those still praying for the return of a loved one or who are piecing back their lives through incredible grief. Our thoughts are also with the Jewish community here in Canada who, over the past year, has seen a terrifying surge in antisemitism. Too often in recent months, Canadians have been threatened, harassed, and excluded because of their faith, their identity, or because they support the Jewish people’s right to self-determination in their ancestral homeland. We’ve seen synagogues and schools attacked, people taunted for wearing a Star of David or a Kippah, blatant antisemitic slurs becoming common, demonstrators glorifying terrorists, and denial of the horrific events of October 7. This is all reprehensible and it must stop. Hamas has set the region down a path of war and violence. We mourn the Canadians and all civilians killed in the year that followed. We condemn Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, whose senseless attacks lead to more death and instability. The scale of civilian casualties since October 7 is heartbreaking and unacceptable, and all actors must comply with international law. The suffering must end, and we must return to the path toward lasting peace and security for Israelis, Palestinians, Lebanese, and others across the region. We remain committed to working toward an irreversible path to achieving a two-state solution, where Israelis and Palestinians can live securely within internationally recognized borders. To Jewish people and Israelis in Canada and around the world: we stand with you on this painful anniversary, and we won’t relent until we see every last hostage returned home safely. We will keep working relentlessly with our allies until there is a ceasefire in the Middle East. And we will always defend Israel’s right to exist in peace and security.

[sissa-arrows]

random question, but why do Algerians still hate the French? French Algeria hasn’t existed since 1962, so why so much hatred still?

First of all 1962 is 61 years ago. You’re saying it as if it was centuries ago and nobody was alive anymore. My grandparents who are very much alive Al hamdulilah were born under French colonialism. I’m 29 and I saw the consequences of French tortures on my great grandpa with my own eyes (they cut off some of his fingers) as I was lucky enough to meet him (he died when I was 8-9) This is not some ancient event that has no consequences anymore on people. It still has consequences on the country and on the people. Like you’re going to pretend that France didn’t have lynching against Algerians until the 90’s? You’re going to pretend anti Algerian racism is not so present in France that the French word for a racist attack/lynching (ratonnade) is not a mix between an anti Algerian slur and the word “beating”?

Now to answer your question.

We don’t hate the French they hate us that’s different. Algerians don’t give a flying fuck about France. Algerians would want few things more than pretend France doesn’t exist.

But France hate us and resent us for taking our independence. Are we supposed to stay silent when France says we should be grateful for colonialism? Are we supposed to stay silent when they say we should be apologizing not them? Are we supposed to stay silent when absolutely nobody got punished for what they did to Algerians and that they actually got rewarded? Are we supposed to stay silent when the remains of our ancestors (some of them children) are still kept and exposed in French museums despite asking to get them back? Are we supposed to stay silent when France still has our archives including the ones before they colonized Algeria and still refuse to give us those archives? Are we supposed to stay silent when they say the trauma of their colonizers grandparents leaving Algeria is worst than the trauma of our grandparents seeing their loved ones being killed, tortured, raped? Are we suddenly pretending transgenerational trauma doesn’t exist and that 132 years of colonialism and the denial of the horrors committed, worst than the denial switching the blame, has no consequences on Algerians today? My grandpa still sleeps with a shotgun because of the trauma. My father left Algeria because his mother was so traumatized by what the French did during the war of liberation (they killed one of her child, he wasn’t 2 years old yet) that when the civil war started she told my dad to leave cause she didn’t want to lose an other child.

Now do you plan on asking French people why they hate Algerians or do you keep your questioning to Algerians only? We don’t hate France but if we did we would have every single right to.

Lastly if I was a Jewish woman posting about Nazis Germany and antisemitism in present Germany as well as Neonazis would you have felt you have the right to ask me why I still have issues with it cause it happened in 1945? Unless you’re a racist scum you wouldn’t have done it cause you know how horrific the holocaust was and how fucked up it would be to question the feelings of descendants of survivors (I’m still giving you the benefit of the doubt maybe your ask was genuine and you didn’t know any better). So why do you think you have the right to question how Algerians feel about France?

No, JK Rowling is not a Holocaust denier

The LGBT lobby has found yet another sickening way to attack JK Rowling. Trans-activist bullies, who so often delight in sending death and rape threats to the Harry Potter author, are now suggesting she is a Holocaust denier. It should go without saying that this is an absurd and defamatory slur. It is also one that’s being increasingly employed against anyone who dares to question the trans lobby’s latest attempt to rewrite history.

Rowling was accused of Holocaust denial last week, after she wrote a post on X that doubted claims that the Nazis made trans people a specific target for genocide. This argument is part of a wider attempt by activists to place trans people at the centre of the Holocaust. But the truth is that they weren’t. At least, not in any meaningful sense.

Digging into these claims, I soon discovered that activist historians have been sewing together a patchwork story of an alleged trans ‘genocide’ that is breathtakingly misleading. In fact, their entire narrative is built on only a handful of trans victims. Crucially, most of these victims were also Jewish or homosexual.

In response to Rowling’s comments, Pink News published an article claiming that ‘the persecution of trans people by the Nazis was devastating’. The proof for this? The names of five trans victims. What Pink News fails to disclose is that three of these people actually survived the war and fortunately lived to a ripe old age. One victim – Liddy Bacroff, who was arrested as a male prostitute – did sadly die in a concentration camp. Another, Gerd R, took his own life.

Take the case of Gerd R, one of the victims mentioned by Pink News. Gerd was a married, heterosexual man who had a history of crossdressing. He was arrested multiple times for public indecency after his neighbours grew tired of finding him hiding naked in their communal bins. He was later rescued from a concentration camp by the intervention of his doctor, who pointed out that he was heterosexual. This action saved his life and he was moved to a mental institution. There, Gerd took his own life.

Gerd’s fate was tragic. But it is almost certain that he would have ended up in an asylum for this behaviour anywhere across Europe at that time. The idea that a non-Jewish, heterosexual man like Eddie Izzard would without question have been murdered when Gerd R was not is fanciful, self-serving nonsense.

Another victim, Gerd Kubbe, a woman who identified as a man, had a very close brush with the authorities. In 1938, she was arrested for wearing men’s clothes and sent to a concentration camp. But a few months later, she was released and permitted to dress as she liked and to adopt the gender-neutral name of Gerd. One ‘queer’ historian admits that ‘police at first reacted harshly but later showed surprising leniency’. Even gay transvestite Fritz Kitzing, who was repeatedly arrested for soliciting, was sent to join the army rather than killed in a concentration camp. Kitzing survived the war and ran an antique shop until the 1990s.

So far, the mixed fortunes of the handful of named trans victims suggest that it was entirely possible to be ‘trans’ and elude persecution. If you were heterosexual, considered ‘Aryan’, followed the rules on public crossdressing and avoided prostitution or public indecency, you at least had a chance of surviving the brutal regime. No such leniency was afforded to the Nazis’ key targets, like Jews or disabled people, who were ruthlessly sought out for elimination.

When trans activists describe this truth-telling as ‘Holocaust denial’, they do a disservice to all Holocaust victims – including the few trans victims who really did suffer at the hands of an evil regime for their other characteristics. We must resist this blatant rewriting of history and the trans appropriation of the Holocaust.

I laugh a little whenever someone comments on a social media post of mine saying "Free Palestine!!!" or any version of that. Like, yes, thank you. Now that you commented, I will personally call Bibi and ask him nicely to end the war and let Israel be destroyed by terrorist groups. You'd think Palestine would be free by now with all the times they comment it.

Like seriously what do these people think it's gonna do?

If I put myself in their shoes, doing that does nothing for the end goal of garnering more support for Palestine or ending the war and Israel dismantled.

Firstly just saying "free Palestine" won't change someone's mind. No one will go "ah yes now that I have seen free Palestine for the millionth time, I suddenly want israel to no longer exist"

Some people do go further and try to make posts explaining things but very rarely do they reach out in good faith. They will usually just make posts with the most radical words, which doesn't do much to change someone's mind. If people actually want to do anything to change a person's mind, they have to meet them where they are, explain things to them there, and after they have progressed towards your viewpoint a bit, you meet them where they are now and repeat until they've changed their views. Doesn't work all the time but it's more effective than just going full ham radical. There is nothing wrong with making posts not intended to change peoples mind or to come off as sugar coated or light, I make those posts too, but I also make posts where I avoid calling anti israel xenophobia, antisemitic, as I know that not doing that helps people start to see where I am coming from.

And if they're commenting free Palestine as a way to "make zionists uncomfortable", well at least in my experience it is super easy to block and move on or just not engage. I will engage sometimes if they comment something proper, but there isn't this "omg I'm so uncomfortable or angry about this". Usually it's a "fuck, this person is stupid" and I carry on with my life. The only time it does make me uncomfortable at all, is when the line crosses from support for Palestine into blatent antisemitism like when I'm called slurs by strangers irl, who do not know my opinion but see that I'm visibly Jewish. Or online when someone will engage in holocaust minimization or denial for example. And that's not making me uncomfortable because I'm a zionist, it's making me uncomfortable because I'm jewish.

[morgue-xiiv]

I love how many transphobeshave the most elaborate and embarassing menal breakdowns. And trans people are just like "well being trans is difficult but I try to live my best life" and the pro trans people are like "I just think we should ttreat people with basic respect". The transphobes are like "if you give a lobster estrogen and eat nothing but red meat you too can spend twent minutes yelling at someone for using a normal expression then claim you don't understand the word 'do'!" or "I'm making up a new transphobic slur for every time I cry in public about how many restraining orders my wife needed to get for me to leave her alone", or "I did something most people wouldn't even think of as holocaust denial but if I can hire a lawyer to force a bunch of people to say I didn't do holocaust denial and then bury the posts where I did I can definitely make it seem like my holocaust denial was worse than it was" or "I'm protesting by marching onto the grounds of this school I have been explicitly banned from being near to claim that children are shitting in litter boxes". Like. It really, truly, destroys your brain to be transphobic.

TW: anti-Semitic and anti-indigenous hate speech

Imagine being so evil and bigoted that you use the opportunity of an indigenous Jew of colour agreeing with you on AI, to launch a flurry of unprovoked attacks based entirely on their ethnicity and your own conscious choice of buying into historical revisionism. But oh well, white else is new? Britain didn't exactly turn left with its last elections, sooooooooooooooooooo I guess some people over there got bold.

Jews are proven indigenous to Canaan, today called Israel. That is a hard fact you can look up. I'm literally born exactly there to Mizrahim (brown Middle Eastern Jews) and forcibly entitled to calling it my rightful home. My birth certificate literally says Tel Aviv, not whatever "go back to Europe" country these neo-Nazis think we Jews originate from. Denying Jewish indigeneity in Canaan-by-any-other-name is identical to Holocaust denial, because you cannot commit genocide against people who don't exist, and nothing can come to exist without first originating somewhere. So denying our proven origin = denying our existence = denying our genocide. Rachel did that by calling me a colonizer in my own proven indigenous homeland. And a sexist slur, but...

Before you go "No you stole the land": No, Rachel's people colonized it like they did everything that wasn't bolted down, then returned it to its returning indigenous folks who were fleeing from pogroms in the Arab world and the Holocaust. We can discuss the crimes the state of Israel commits without spreading lies about Jews' relationship to that land, see. One is legitimate criticism, the other is anti-Semitic, and since we're an ethno-religion, automatically racist as well. I can retrace my personal family back to "Canaan" (Israel) to Babylonian exile. I am indigenous.

[cantotallyeven]

I’m not sure if you can help me here, I am a very confused white person. I live in the US, and I’m seeing people in my generation (teenagers-early 20s adults) participating in a huge amount of pro-Palestine activism. In my circle of liberal/leftists I am ONLY seeing pro-Palestine posts. Tumblr is also majority pro-Palestine posts.

Being completely deadass, I have no clue what my country is doing. I have been focusing a lot on my community, local elections, my local school board fucking with transkids, and the upcoming presidential election. But no matter what I say concerning voting blue in this election, I am called a zionist for supporting ANY political figure.

Once again, I might be completely wrong. I’m sending this ask because I really want to be educated specifically on what the hell my country is doing. As far as I understand, the US and Israel have been allies for a good while. It boosts both of our economies, we share ideas in technologic advances. They have given knowledge on terrorism (which is US is very scared of after 9/11) and help the United States better understand conflicts in The Middle East.

And because of all of that, every politician is pro-Israel, which means every politician is now supporting a genocide.

The main thing I don’t really understand is why the United States is being held as the only solution to ending a war for holy land that had lasted decades. It seems like the United States always steps into wars, and ends up killing even more people. It also seems like from what I’ve read that severing ties with Israel is just in general not a viable option.

Am I a zionist for thinking this way? I’m watching as these protests start targeting Jewish people more and more. A statue of Anne Frank was defaced with pro-Palestine graffiti for the Second Time. What are these people thinking?? Can United States politicians do anything to stop Israels military? Should the US step in at all?

Here's my question to you: Why is "pro Israel" supporting genocide but "pro Palestine" is not? Cuz like, Hamas literally has death to all Jews in their founding charter.

The reason the US is being held as the only solution is that, despite their claims of hating the US, these people believe in American exceptionalism. The US could do something. The US could enter Gaza itself and rescue the hostages (including some American citizens). They could station troops on the border preventing attacks in both directions. Would that be a good idea? I honestly don't know.

Pro Palestinian supporters have straight up turned zionist into a slur completely devoid of it's original meaning. Are you Jewish? If not, some pro Palestinian protestors probably won't call you a zionist, even though the number of Christian zionists in the US outnumbers the total number of Jews worldwide. Do you believe Jews have a right to self determination in our ancestral homeland? Well then you meet the official definition of zionist. Do you express any sympathy for Jews at all? Then yes, many of on this site will call you a zionist genocide supporter. They've attacked people who disputed outright holocaust denial.

But to end on a high note: Good job focusing a lot on your community, local elections, and your local school board fucking with transkids. Thinking local and actually acting will do far more good than these protestors can ever dream of.
