#marauders for jews

[underwxrldprincess]

Regulus: *to his friends* you're all fucking annoying, I hate all of you and wish you would leave me the fuck alone.

Regulus: except you, Pandora, you're an angel and I'm delighted to have you here. Also would you like some biscuits?

Barty: I'd like some biscuits.

Regulus: no you get to starve.

"Someone told Sirius about how Regulus died as a hero during the war, at Azakaban".

Cute

But no.

You guys can headcanon whatever you want but I choose the more tragic, painful, angsty option, which in , Sirius died before he had the chance to learn about the details, and the truth behind his brother's death.

Moony making fun 24/7 of his posh friends and them dying out of laughter because that man is hilarious as fuck is a Canon for me at this point

hihii i was wondering if you support palestine? just with all of tje conflict between palestine and jewish people idk i was wondering

This page won't focus on politics/conflicts/wars or anything like that

I support the Jewish people and the Jewish community, and I support peace; I do not support any death of innocents, that's all you need to know:)

This page is a safe space for all and a break from the crazy things going on right now in the world.

The only activism you'll see here is within the fandoms I am part of.

Thank you for the question, hope my answer helped you🩷

Because it's Sukkot my brain is just going to think how the characters would react to waving the Lulav and Etrog.

I just know Severus would take it the same as he does with potion ingredients in an "It's necessary" way.

Remus still doesn't know why is it necessary but he doesn't question it.

James doesn't understand and very much questions it.

Lily will tell you the entire history behind it and would start drifting to tell you entire biblical stories.

Peter loves these stories tho.

Regulus is there as a counter to the stories, but it only makes it a more exciting conversation.

While Sirius is just thinking if the waving hurts the Lulav and Etrog.

[knockoff-conlon]

um, i just wanna say that i think the characterization of jewish remus lupin in fics is so important and that i think him in school isn't being done right. so- as a jewish person- i want to give you some help.

jews are tokenized in schools. we're the, as i say, jewish ambassador. we represent all jews in school systems and have to explain our culture. i know this would go for other religious minorities, too. my muslim friends go through the same thing. i had to explain channukah to 2nd-graders and was given a goddamn candy cane as a thank you (yes, this actually happened to me in grade six)

we get so much fucking random anti-semitism. my brother has been asked where he hides his horns, a kid once said in my friend's sister's class that he thought hitler was a rapper, some kid flashed me a swastika while him and his friend laughed, a kid chanted 'i love hitler' at my friend's school, etc, etc. all these incidents. usually by the same type of kid- white, doesn't understand judaism, vindicated in his anti-semitism by the fact that 'i didn't kill six million jews and therefore can't be anti-semetic'.

we don't learn anything, properly, about the holocaust. i had a teacher, also in grade six, kick me out of the class for correcting her about her information on auschwitz. my mom is a holocaust historian working on her phd in that field and i am the only jew in class. and i got kicked out. my friend's teacher thought that the holocaust was just work camps where they were just underpaid, not a mass genocide.

teachers are notorious, in schools i and my friends have been in, for being terrible at dealing with anti-semistism (also racism, homophobia, etc) and do not give a shit about your experiences. a teacher told me not to defend my religion and that i should go through the proper channels just to get a christian to defend jews. no. absolutely not. and then i argued and i was labelled as 'having a problem with christianity'. teachers don't give a shit if you were just hate-crimed.

please. if you're going to write a jewish remus lupin- which i so support and love the representation- please write his experiences realistically. i know that it's tough to find sources/proper explanations/detailed accounts.

so i'm always free. if you want help writing jewish characters, i will help you!! just dm me!!

Okey. So my 8 years old brother is no reading the Prisoner of Azkaban and after a few years in the marauders fandom it's so...unnatural for me to refer to Remus Lupin by his last name and not by his first, but otherwise my brother'd probably not understand who I am talking to.

Also what the hell am I going to do when I am reading it to him and the wolfstar red lights in my brain are flashing but I have to pretend like they (wolfstar) don't exist like how am I supposed to explain it to a 8 y/o child???

[fourthemarauders]

Remus lupin is my Jesus.

Well. I'm Jewish, and so is he, and so is Jesus, but you get my point.

[rmoony12]

Hebraizinng the names of the Marauders & co.

𝗛𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (definition) - Hebraizing names means adapting or translating non-Hebrew names into Hebrew, often to make them sound more familiar or culturally aligned with the Hebrew language and Jewish tradition.

𝗥𝗲𝗺𝘂𝘀 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗟𝘂𝗽𝗶𝗻

בנימין יהונתן זאבי - Binyamin Yehonatan Ze'evi

(Benjamin Johnathan Ze'evi)

𝗕𝗶𝗻𝘆𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻 - youngest son of Jacob and one of the 12 Tribes, last son of Rachel. Like with the name Remus, Binyamin doesn't mean Wolf, but it as connection to wolf.

Jacob bless each of his sons, each one with a different metaphor and unique blessing."Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; In the morning he consumes the foe, And in the evening he divides the spoil" - translation of the Hebrew bible.

𝗬𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗻 - one of the names that in translation to English can be shortened to John. Yehonatan was also the son of king Sha'ul, and they are part of Binyamin's tribe.

𝗭𝗲'𝗲𝘃𝗶 - basically means "Wolfy" in Hebrew.

𝗟𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘀

שושנה חנניה - Shoshanah Hanania

𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗮 - "Shoshan" is the name of the lilies flower in Hebrew. Adding "ah" and the and makes the name female and is also considered as adding part of HaShem to the name. The name Shoshanah is often shortened to "Shoshi"

𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮- the name Evans comes from the name John (Johnan/Yohanan) and means god is gracious or god has shown favor: "Yo" - god, "hanan" - grace/favor. Another word for grace is Hen, which also means beauty.

Though Yohanan isn't usually a surname, so I chose Hanania, aince it has the same meaning: "Hanan" - grace, "ya" (ia) - god.

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗠𝗰𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗱

מרים בן-מלך - Miriam Ben-Melech

𝗠𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗺 - the original name for Maria/Mary. Miriam was Moshe's (Moses') older sister. Common nicknames for Miriam are "Mira" or "Miri".

𝗕𝗲𝗻-𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗵 - meaning son of king, as the "king" usually referred to god, who is the king of all and the ruler of the world.

McDonald means son of Donald", and the name "Donald" itself means "ruler or king of the world".

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗲 𝗠𝗰𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻

מרים יוספי - Miriam Yosefi

(Miriam Josephi)

𝗠𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗺 - the name Marlene has similar origins as Mary, both have an Hebrew origin which is Miriam.

𝗬𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗳𝗶 - Mckinnon means "fair born", someone who was noted as having been a beautiful child, youthful look and attractive. One of the first things the Tanakh (Hebrew bible) tells us about Yosef is "handsome in form and appearance" -translation of the Hebrew bible.

𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘄

שימעון קטן - Shim'on Katan

(Simon Katan)

𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗺'𝗼𝗻 - Peter is a the name Jesus gave to on of his apostles, who his name was originally Shim'on Ben Yonah (Simon son of Jonah).

𝗞𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗻 - the Hebrew word for little/small, just like Pettigrew means small.

𝗦𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘂𝘀 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸

יזהר שחורי - Izhar Shchori

(Izhar Shchori)

𝗜𝘇𝗵𝗮𝗿 - unlike the name Sirius, this name doesn't have a "dog" origin, but the name Izhar means "will glow" or "(one who) sparkles".

𝗦𝗵𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶 - means "blacky" in Hebrew.

𝗦𝘆𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘄𝗻𝗲𝘆

חנה בן חורש - Hana Ben-Choresh

𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗮 - one of the seventh prophetesses in the Tanakh, mother of Shmu'el. In one of her prayers to HaShem for a son, the Cohen Eli saw her moving her lips without making any sounds, and thought she was drunk.

𝗕𝗲𝗻-𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵 - Meaning "son of the forest", works well as an hebraization for Trelawney, which means "town of the grove".

𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗮 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱

חוה לב-טוב - Hava Lev-Tov

(Eve Lev-Tov)

𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗮 - Hava (Eve) was the first woman to ever exist, and she committed the very first sin, eating the fruit if knowledge. In many cultures there is a similar story - back in the beginning of time, a woman who was curious about something she new she isn't allowed to do, and did it anyway. Usually the woman in the story is tempted by something god(/s) created specifically for the test, and even more specific - to test the man, and not the woman herself. In Greek mythology, the woman is called Pandora.

𝗟𝗲𝘃-𝗧𝗼𝘃 - a combination of the words "Lev", meaning heart, and the word "Tov", meaning good.

𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿

יעקוב עשהאל - Ya'akov Asah'El

(Jacob Asahel)

𝗬𝗮'𝗮𝗸𝗼𝘃 - James is one of the names that their origin is Jacob.

𝗔𝘀𝗮𝗵'𝗘𝗹 - one of King David's heroes. His name means "made by god" or "god is the creator".

Potter is used in the bible to describe god, and in the Hebrew bible, instead of potter it's "Yatzar", meaning "(one who) created" . The word "Asah" means "(one who) made".

𝗫𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘂𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗳𝗼𝘆

גרשום אמיתי - Gershom Amitai

𝗚𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗺 - was the first born of Moshe & Tzipporah (Moses & Zipporah).

The name means "a stranger there". Moshe name his son that way because he was a stranger in an foreign land when he met Tzipporah. "Ger" in Hebrew means a stranger, a foreigner, a person from a different place or someone who converted to Judaism (disclaimer! Ger is not a slur or an insult).

𝗔𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗶 - Malfoy means unfaithful or bad faith. Amitai is quite the opposite, it means "truthful" or "my truth".

Sometimes Jewish people hebraizing their surname to a more positive version of the original name meaning, usually because they want the name to be full of luck and purity.

June was working at the Goldie restaurant in Philadelphia on Sunday night when protesters started assembling outside the Israeli-American-owned eatery waving Palestinian flags.

"Goldie, Goldie, you can't hide, we charge you with genocide," they chanted.

The 24-year-old June, who asked to be identified by his first name only, told Middle East Eye that they watched the rally through the window of the restaurant which sells falafel, hummus and other Middle Eastern cuisine. June was shift-leading at the time.

"I remember thinking it was a big crowd, given it had been raining," June said.

"No one inside was bothered. I didn't feel unsafe. There were orthodox Jews taking part in the protest. We even had a customer come into the business," June, who is also Jewish, added.

After a few minutes, the protesters left.

When June went home after the shift, they found social media alight with accusations that the crowd had targeted the restaurant because it was a Jewish establishment.

But June says they knew that this wasn't a case of antisemitism.

"The protesters had assembled outside Goldie because the restaurant owner had sent money to an aid organisation that supported the Israeli military. They had come because two employees at Goldie were fired for expressing support for Palestine," June told MEE.

Outraged by the feverish pace with which the false narrative of a marauding mob intimidating a business on account of their Jewishness was being amplified on the internet and the news media, June posted on social media in support of the protesters.

"If you don't want to be directly funding genocide, stay away from Goldie, Kfar, Federal Donuts, Laser Wolf or Zahav. Goldie's parent company CookNSolo held a fundraiser where sales from all their restaurants went to an org [sic] that gives supplies to the IDF [Israeli military]," June wrote.

On the way to work the next morning, June received a call from the restaurant. They were told that they were no longer needed and they was fired with immediate effect.

That made June the third person at Goldie to be fired on account of their pro-Palestinian advocacy since 7 October when Israel's war on Palestine began.

Since late Sunday, the US media, prominent Jewish Americans, Philadelphia's mayor, several lawmakers, and even the White House have issued statements condemning the protests outside the restaurant.

"This is idiotic and dangerous. Protest outside the Israeli consulate or the offices of your member of Congress, not Jewish or Israeli-owned restaurants," prominent Jewish-American writer Peter Beinart wrote.

Likewise, Andrew Bates, a White House spokesperson, described the incident as "antisemitic and completely unjustifiable to target restaurants that serve Israeli food over disagreements with Israeli policy".

On Tuesday, US Vice President Kamala Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, called Michael Solomonov, the owner of the restaurant group, to express support for his business.

But former employees at Goldie as well as pro-Palestine advocates who either organised or participated in the protest say the outrage was manufactured to distract from both the crimes of the Israeli state and those who have chosen to support it.

"While Goldie was not the goal of our protest, we briefly paused and led chants [outside the restaurant] because the owner, Michael Solomonov, has used proceeds from the restaurant to fund an organisation that works directly with the Israeli Occupational forces," Natalie Abulhawa, a spokesperson from the Philly Palestine Coalition, said.

Abulhalwa said that the group spent only a few minutes outside the restaurant and moved on to other stops before continuing the rally.

"We also stopped at Starbucks for the same reason and then continued to march. Our march was roughly three hours long and we stopped at Goldie's for four minutes, at most," Abulhalwa added.

June, who was at the business at the time, confirmed to MEE that the protesters were only around for a few minutes.

Sophie Hamilton, who worked at Goldie for more than two years, including as a store manager, confirmed to MEE that Solomonov had held a fundraiser in mid-October, where $100,000 was raised for United Hatzalah, an Israeli emergency aid organisation based in Jerusalem.

She said Goldie, part of the CooknSolo company, was not some small-time "mom-and-pop" business, but a sprawling company whose owner was appointed by the Israeli tourism ministry as its culinary ambassador for Israel in 2017. Solomonov is an Israeli chef who owns four restaurants in the Philadelphia area under the CookNSolo banner.

According to a statement released by the Israeli authorities at the time, the role was designed "to champion Israel’s extraordinarily diverse and vibrant culinary landscape".

Hamilton said the company had mischaracterised United Hatzalah to staff as "non-partisan, non-military aligned, like the Red Cross", when a cursory internet search showed that not only did the charity openly collaborate with the Israeli military, they also spoke like an arm of the Israeli state.

"The influx of terrorists infiltrating Israeli territory and the resulting high number of injured individuals also prompted United Hatzalah to provide additional medical supplies and protective equipment to IDF teams on the ground," a statement issued in late October by United Hatzalah, reads.

"Since the beginning of the war, United Hatzalah medical teams have treated over 3,000 soldiers and civilians and provided more than 900 soldiers, civilians, and volunteers with psychological first aid. The organization also delivered over 30 tons of medical supplies and humanitarian aid to the IDF and residents of southern Israel," the statement added.

Hamilton said when she had discovered the information, she refused to take part in the fundraiser because she didn't want to be complicit in the genocide of Palestinians.

However, when she returned to work after the fundraiser, she said she still wanted to show solidarity with Palestinians and decided to wear a pin bearing the Palestinian flag on her shirt.

A few days later, the company came out with a new policy that banned any pin or patch unrelated to the store on their uniforms.

"I wore the pin anyway in defiance of the policy and I was sent home that day," Hamilton says.

When she returned to work, she decided she needed the job and abided by the policy. But when one of her colleagues, Noah Wood, refused to take off his pin, and she wouldn't discipline him as his manager, she was fired. And so was he.

"I would never, as a manager censor someone I work with for showing their heartfelt belief in human rights," Hamilton said.

Wood, who had already resigned from his job on account of the suppression of Palestinian advocacy at the restaurant, was serving his notice period at the time when he was told to stay home.

He told MEE that it appears a customer complaint may have led to his dismissal.

"We've had LGBTQ flags up in the store. They might still be up. And one of the other locations had Black Lives Matter signage, so it wasn't as if it was an entirely politically neutral work environment," Wood said.

"You must remember Sophie and I didn't say anything. We didn't argue with customers. We weren't posting online. We were just wearing Palestine patches and pins and this seemed to make a customer uncomfortable, and this was enough for termination," he added.

Goldie and its parent company, CookNSolo, did not immediately reply to MEE's request for comment.

Activists say they remain appalled by the smear campaigns pitted against Palestinians on a daily basis. The rush to defend a business working with the Israeli army under the mask of an antisemitic attack was in line with the higher echelons of the American state to equate criticism of Israel with antisemitism, they say.

With the devastation in Gaza spiralling and the death toll ever increasing - now upwards of 16,000 Palestinians - organisers say the rapid resort to smear those who dare to raise the plight of Palestinians was the surest sign that officials had run out of excuses to justify the support of Israel.

Activists say the flurry of support for the Israeli-owned business also showed the close ties between the US political establishment and Israel-aligned businesses.

"The hypocrisy of our elected officials is despicable. Within a couple hours of our protest, Pennsylvania's Governor Josh Shapiro and others ran to Twitter to accuse us of antisemitism with absolutely no context and no facts," Abulhalwa, with the Philly Palestine Coalition, said.

"No one from their offices reached out to us to 'investigate'," Abulhalwa added.

Organisers said US politicians were constantly attempting to portray pro-Palestinian protesters as unhinged or violent when it was the US state that was supporting genocide in Gaza and it was Palestinians in the US who have either been killed or physically attacked.

In its report about the call made by Emhoff, the US vice president's husband, to Solomonov, the owner of Goldie, NBC News reported that the duo spoke about "how food was actually supposed to bring people together rather than be a source of division"

Likewise, Pennsylvania's Governor Shapiro, who was among the first to condemn the protests outside Goldie, baked bread with its owner, Solomonov, as recently as September.

"Being an Israeli ambassador is a big part of Solomonov's brand," Leila, a Jewish-American who took part in the protest outside Goldie on Sunday, said.

Leila, who offered only her first name to MEE, said the suggestion that any part of the action outside the restaurant may have been construed as antisemitic was simply absurd.

June, the former employee at Goldie, who had watched the protest from inside the store itself, said the charge of antisemitism was divorced from reality.

"They didn't come to the restaurant simply because it was Jewish-owned. If that was the case, they would've gone to hundreds of restaurants across the city," June said.

Likewise, Abuhalwa said the smears against Palestinians were once more exposing a double standard toward Palestinian life.

"Palestinian protesters being held at gunpoint by a racist, Islamophobe is a hate crime. Palestinians being shot for wearing keffiyehs is a hate crime. A grown man stabbing a little boy for being Muslim is a hate crime. Using your First Amendment rights and peacefully protesting is not a hate crime.

"They accused us of targeting Goldie because it's Jewish-owned, which is far from the truth. Solomonov is not being targeted due to his religious beliefs, but rather his ties to a violent apartheid state that is currently enacting a genocide," Abuhalwa added.

Meanwhile, June, the 24-year-old who lost his job at Goldie for supporting the protesters, says he has no regrets.

"If I could educate more people on how this company feels about Palestinians being killed, I'd gladly do it in a heartbeat," June said.

"I will always advocate and support anyone who advocates for a ceasefire and an end to the occupation of Palestine," they added.

Marauders fandom challenge (impossible):

Stop calling Death Eaters yatzees.

There's an entire difference between seeing similarities in events, especially since j*r took inspiration from them in writing.

But comparing one for one is:

Simply factually incorrect since you actually CAN'T do that. As in to compare specific groups in real life events to those in the books - meaning comparing muggles to Jews, but then what about half bloods? Polish? But what about half bloods with Muggle parents?

Is belittling the holocaust and the memory of it and trying to oversimplify it to a book written by someone who only made Voldemort a half blood because she believes mustache man is half Jewish (and said so herself in 2011, also made him a half blood by his father being a muggle - like it was suspected that mustache man's father was the Jewish one).

I'm sick and tired of people calling fictional characters over people whom hunted down my own family while in the same time have not even studied the holocaust in-dept enough to be even opening their mouths about it.
