#one was white. one was jewish. one was black.

"Zionism is what's actually antisemitic" is often used by antizionists, frequently goyishe antizionists, to dismiss any criticism that antizionism has roots in antisemitism.

And this type of rhetoric is extremely harmful to jews because A) it denys the extremely antisemitic and literal Nazi history of antizionism and B) puts antisemitism back onto jews as the perpetrators, we jews are the ones harming ourselves, not those who for decades have oppressed us.

Firstly, antizionism was never about palestinians in its origin. The first antizionists couldn't give two shits about palestinians. They were racist white supremist ethnonationalists who wanted a white Europe. And white supremacy has never considered jews, even Ashkenazi jews white.

The first antizionists were antizionist because jews having our own state, meant that we would continue to live and exist. The only way to rid the world of jews, which was their goal, was to have all of us killed.

The protocols of elder zion is one of the first antizionists texts. It was written in Russia and published in 1905. It detailed a Jewish plot for world domination. It's important to note that during this time and for decades after, that Palestine was considered to be the Jewish homeland by society.

Now this tale of world domination was not at all based in fact. The author, Sergei Nilus, did not have some secret knowledge the rest of the world did not. It was completely fictitious. However the real event which inspired him, was the first zionist meeting. The protocols are fake minutes of the first zionist meeting.

And the protocols were not written with Palestine in mind. It was written because if jews had our own homeland, we would build defenses and prevent the eradication of jews. This differed from other opinion during the time which was supportive of a Jewish state, not because people loved jews, but because it dealt with Europe's "jew problem". Shipping us away was seen as more attractive than letting us live in Europe. Some people did take that to the extreme, and thought that it would be easier to kill all jews if we were in one country, which is where Nilus differed.

But how does all of this relate back to Nazi Germany?

Hitler was very much inspired by the protocols. He thought of them as factual. A lot of nazi era antisemitic propaganda is inspired by it. The protocols are one of the things which influenced Hitler to change his view of a Jewish state. Initially he too thought it would be the solution to rid Europe of its "jew problem". He never supported a Jewish state because he liked jews. He liked the idea as it would be the easiest way to rid Europe of jews. But once reading the protocols, he changed his mind and thought that a Jewish state would make it harder to rid the world of jews. This is also why he planned to have a concentration camp in Palestine, to kill the jews that were living there too.

This is a major part as to why saying that Israel or zionism causes antisemitism is harmful and antisemitic. Because Israel has done what the Nazis and other antisemites feared it would do, and prevent jews from being killed. The major example of this is Israel's operations in Ethiopia where black Ethiopian jews were being subject to the Ethiopian government at the time wanting to and making plans to, eradicate jews in Ethiopia and Israel flew a bunch of helicopters in to take Ethiopian jews to safety in Israel.

The other reason why blaming zionism and Israel for antisemitism is harmful is because it takes the blame away from those who wish to do harm to jews and puts it back onto jews.

The Israeli government doesn't equal all jews. It is not the Israeli governments fault that some peoples logic is missing and make that mental leap. If you cannot separate the two, that is on you. By acting as if the one jewish country is responsible for antisemitism instead of antisemites, you are exusing antisemitism and saying it is okay as long as some jews do a bad thing. Justifying bigotry is never okay.

And I specifically chose to say roots in antisemitism instead of outright calling antizionism antisemitic as there isn't just one solid definition out there. To many goyim where I live, a peaceful two state solution is antizionism, which is considered zionism under the jewish definition. And to other goyim, their definition which is the destruction of Israel, matches up with the Jewish definition. I want this post to hopefully reach those who need to hear it.

Elphaba should never be cast on broadway as straight/cis/white again.

The movie accentuated perfectly how the true core of Wicked is a minority story. The tale of how one disenfranchised person gives everything to save a group being systematically silenced and discriminated against.

As well as accentuating “Galinda’s” role as Glinda—a direct representation of performative white privilege.

So yeah imo, Elphaba from now on needs to be cast queer, black, brown, jewish, transfeme, disabled, etc.

And i don’t want ANNYYYY pushback—-Wicked (especially the musical) has always been woke.

You can tell from how the OBC translated problematic plot points from the book to stage, to how the movie continued to hone the story for screen. The messaging of this movie has always asked ‘will you follow something easy or right.’ Chu just put authentic representation in the already existing emotional cocoons of these characters.

If you want the not woke version go read how Nesa was actually disabled in the book.

ultimately you have to remember that complaining about "4chan white trans women who are bigoted and so and so" is almost entirely pointless for any purpose aside from raising transmisogynistic sentiments in observers. this specter of an evil tranny is constantly looming despite the individuals being rare and often total shut ins, and people expect transfems to take this shit seriously and be constantly swearing off association with """bad people""". these people, when they do exist, by and large lack the power to actually do anything with their beliefs; obviously if they do it sucks but this idea that there are trans women ~getting away with it~ and that all transfem communities allow and hide this behavior is blatantly transmisogynistic in addition to often being completely imagined! its insane to act like you have to choose between resisting white supremacy and resisting transmisogyny, and yet, people wind up continually portraying it as this

i'm afraid that there's Never gonna be a concentrated effort to get the nazis off of tumbler dot com, bc no one knows what a nazi (or neo-nazi, for that matter) actually is! additionally, no one knows what nazi rhetoric even is, not when it's passes the "Uses Progressive Language" test, bc using the Good Words™ is all you need to let extremely racist messages fly under the nazi-detecting radar. god forbid anyone look in the mirror and ask "am I the bad guy??" and get their shit together.

this website: "hey staff !! >:((( when are you gonna get rid of all the nazis?!?!"

also this website: *makes the 358th conspiratorial post that Strongly Suggests that bloodthirsty jews (with dual loyalty, Of Course) control the media. this post has over 20k notes*

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is facing criticism on Wednesday after he released a statement offering "heartfelt thoughts and prayers" to the victim of a shooting in the city’s Rogers Park neighborhood – but made no mention of the victim being Jewish.

Social media users are pointing out that the statement is different from a message Johnson released last fall in which he said he was "devastated by the murder of a six-year-old Palestinian American" who allegedly was the target of a "despicable hate crime [that] is a shameful reminder of the destructive role Islamophobia plays in our society." 

The 39-year-old in Rogers Park was attacked Saturday while he was wearing a kippah and walking to a synagogue in a known Orthodox Jewish neighborhood. The suspect, identified as Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, 22, allegedly shot at an ambulance and police officers before they returned fire and brought him into custody. 

"On behalf of the City of Chicago, our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the victim and his loved ones from this weekend’s shooting incident that took place in Rogers Park," Johnson wrote on X. "This tragic event should have never happened, and we recognize the dedication of our first responders who put their lives on the line during this shooting.

"The Mayor’s Office is in close communication with the Chicago Police Department as the investigation continues. All Chicagoans deserve to feel safe and protected across the city. There is more work to be done, and we are committed to diligently improving community safety in every neighborhood," he added. 

However, under the Democrat’s statement, an X community note was posted adding the context that "Mayor Brandon Johnson is leaving out of his statement that the person is Jewish."

"Antisemitic hate has been on the rise in Chicago," the note adds. 

The mayor’s office did not immediately respond Wednesday to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

In his October 2023 post regarding the death of a Palestinian American, Johnson said, "We grieve alongside his family and the Muslim, Arab and Palestinian communities in our state as we reckon with this unthinkable loss." 

In that case, authorities say a landlord in the Chicago suburb of Plainfield fatally stabbed the child and attempted to kill his mother because of their Muslim faith and as a response to the Israel-Hamas war, according to the Associated Press, which also reported that the assailant has pleaded not guilty to hate crime and murder charges. 

Debra Silverstein, a 50th Ward alderman, said the male victim in the Rogers Park shooting was targeted "on Shabbat following the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret/Simchat Torah." 

Abdallahi is facing 14 felony counts, including six counts of attempted murder, but Silverstein has expressed frustration that no hate crime charges have been filed yet.

I’m sorry but you can’t cry “human rights violation!!!!” when you are actively carrying out a campaign of genocide.

saw an absolutely rancid take by a guy on twitter. bro started off by saying "I've only met like one or two jews before" and continues with "but I can never tell if someone's jewish because they just look like white people" and somehow this has nearly 200k likes

i really hate the way people will accept polling/statistics at face value and not consider all of the potential biases or factors as to why certain results may end up the way they did. like polling can be a good indicator of something but it often isn't fact

[umberandmochaagate]

We're starting to really talk about how oppression affects people on an epigenetic level for those victimized

We need to also look at how epigenetics are affected in oppressors and white supremacy

Because how in the hell you're gonna go to a South Asian country as a refugee from Europe and start tryna throw a fucking "white only" party and hating on the native people like what the fuck

yesterday, i learned that one of my acquaintances from church is like, gleefully and unreservedly supportive of the gazan genocide despite going to a church where every sermon for the past few weeks has been about the horrors and tragedy of said genocide. like, i could not fucking believe how hilarious he seemed to think it is that innocent palestinians are dying, just grinning and laughing and shaking his head and rolling his eyes when my pastor and i expressed horror at the innocent people being killed. just remembering it makes me choke up with anger.

anyway, i'm going to be very stupid and try to talk to him about it this coming sunday. i'll use all my teacherly tricks to try and gently lead him to feel one single scrap of empathy for the victims of israel's civilian massacre, but lbr: he'll probably respond with the same amount of glee and condescension as last night and it's going to end with me making me a scene at church.

but i know i shouldn't. so here are some things i should NOT say, no matter how angry he makes me:

i've always hated the sound of your voice, even before you said such horrible things. you say everything with such condescension. when you read the gospels in church, i have to hide my face behind my program to hide my grimacing. you make the words of christ himself sound like a grift of some oily used car dealer who thinks he's smarter than he actually is. i pity you for going through life with such a voice, and pity you even more for thinking it charming.

it baffles me that you'd allow something as basically human as compassion for the suffering of others to be so utterly sanded away by propaganda. it's pathetic that you could laugh at innocents dying. you've let yourself be lobotomized by a clumsy surgeon and style yourself wise with the icepick still sticking from your skull.

i've always thought your face looks like an easter island head sculpted from a raw chicken breast.

see? none of those would be productive, no matter how truly they express my feelings about this person.

thus: people of faith, pray that god grants me the wisdom and restraint to not light this motherfucker up in the middle of coffee hour. amen.
