Daily reminder that being pro Palestine is not a reason to anti Jewish

Reason: I’m just not sure if melina would believe in religion, even if she convents.

I’ve been trying to think of how to word this for a couple days now because I didn’t want this to seem insincere or callous or anything like that, and I wondered if I should say anything at all at the risk of sounding patronizing, but I’ve decided to post this with the hopes that my good faith will be felt and hopefully offer some relief to someone in this difficult time.

I want to say to my Jewish brothers and sisters and family during this time who do not support this genocide, who do not support this careless violence, who do not wish for any of these atrocities to be happening, that I love you and I’m sorry for this difficult time with Palestine.

I’m sorry that your faith, your culture, your people are being used in a way that you do not agree with and that will only do more damage than good, and is not even for just reasonings. I’m sorry that this conflict will make antisemitism rise even more during an already scary time and you have little control over how people will perceive you and your people once again.

I’m sorry that you will be misunderstood, attacked, harmed, fearful, grief-struck, likely traumatized, and more because people will always want an excuse to hate Jewish people and this is just the next “reason” they’ll use, many of them not actually caring about any of the people involved in this in the first place, wanting anything they can to fuel their awful hate.

I’m sorry that the people you may have once looked up to have disappointed you and you must wrestle with this grieve while also still loving them.

I’m sorry that so many people will do their best to misunderstand you, will write you off before a word even leaves your mouth. Will leave you to fend for yourself when you are also struggling.

I said this for people who directly oppose this genocide, but my heart is also open to those that are just confused and hurt. I will not massage any feelings of violence you may feel but I sympathize with your anger for what you and your family have experienced on your side of things and I hope you will come to realize what is truly right at the end of the day and be met with open arms when you try to do the right thing.

I truly hope this doesn’t sound condescending but I wanted to extend some love and grace to the many Jewish people who are unfortunately once again getting involved in a mess they wanted nothing to be apart of, especially since I know so many people will not do the same and will actively do the opposite. Even if you are pro-Palestine I know you and your family will still experience harm for just being who you are and it’s not right and has never been right and it will never be right. You also deserve grace and love during this this.

If anyone, Jewish, Muslim, Palestinian, unrelated but have a lot of feelings, if anyone needs somewhere to vent their feelings my inbox is open. We must support each other during these difficult times and i will help anyway I can. I cant promise I’ll be able to do much or be the most useful but my door is open

When my dad came out in the 90's with having bi-polar, the only family who invited us to things, who spent time with us and reached out was a Jewish family. Everyone else thought you could "Catch" depression (or Mania as we called it back then). For long time my family only had one other family friend. I will always stand up for the Jewish community. They were there when the world turned it's back on my dad, and subsequently my mom and us. They treated us like family when our own extended family refused to see us or help us.

hey friendly reminder cause it's always good to remember to support jewish people, protect jewish people, call out antisemitism wherever and whenever you see it, encourage jewish voices, and stand up for the jewish community

seven years ago in the name of tolerating free speech from all political perspectives my nasty ass evil university let an army of tiki torch wielding nazis shouting jews will not replace us march through grounds threatening the lives of students and community members with zero police presence. and today they retroactively changed campus policy around tents so they could send in the cops to bust up the gaza memorial vigil. genuinely fucking stomach turning

some images from the cave homes of gharyan, libya. communities of jews who made their homes in underground caves have been known in the maghreb since before the 1st century. when spain invaded tripoli in 1510, tripolian jews, both toshavim and sephardic, fled to gharyan and dug out cave homes for themselves. the houses today are occupied by non-jewish libyans or rented out to tourists.

Hey, to all folkskxkxkx recommending his work, please be aware that Norman Finkelstein is a highly controversial scholar, who argues that antisemitism does not affect Jews in the west and especially in the US and that Jewish people invented the cultural image of the Holocaust in order to pretend to be victims so that we can exploit and parasitize gentile industries and resources. 👍 Which is pretty much straight out of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Not going to suggest there's nothing of interest or value in his work, just to say to please be mindful of how you approach it. Here's some quotes from his book, The Holocaust Industry, with some emphasis added.

For organized American Jewry, this contrived hysteria over a new anti-Semitism served multiple purposes. It boosted Israel's stock as the refuge of last resort if and when American Jews needed one. Moreover, the fund-raising appeals of Jewish organizations purportedly combating anti-Semitism fell on more receptive ears.

And:

Beyond this, however, the Holocaust framework apprehended anti-Semitism as a strictly irrational Gentile loathing of Jews. It precluded the possibility that animus toward Jews might be grounded in a real conflict of interests (more on this later). Invoking The Holocaust was therefore a ploy to delegitimize all criticism of Jews: such criticism could only spring from pathological hatred.

Referring to fear of antisemitism as "contrived hysteria," arguing that fears of antisemitism were cynically contrived to appropriate money, that antisemitism has "real" basis, etc... So, yeah. Be mindful that these are his philosophical underpinnings and be careful about what you extract from his work.

A reminder that the MfJ project is not time limited.

FIGHT AGAINST ANTISEMITISM. DON'T IGNORE IT.

REBLOG FOR MORE AWARENESS.

The Antisemitism out and within the marauders fandom has been raising, so we opened this project as a reminder that there are jews in this fandom that has a hard time. We want to show our support for the jews in this fandom who feel like their voice hasn't been heard, like they're alone in this world with no one to listen. We hear you. You are not alone.

How it works:

Artists, writers, and other content creators will provide works and content that includes well-represented jewish characters with the intention to spread awareness about jewishness, judaism & antisemitism. Those who want to participate in the project can be jews or non-jews, but we would love to see as much jews as we can, so we could here THEIR voice.
