#the jews are tired

[nimrochan]

The Torah, a Jewish text which is about 2000 years older than the establishment of Britain, mentions Israel 2500 times.

Also, DNA evidence supports that Jews and Arabs have common ancestry from the Middle Eastern region. So, we’re not British and we’re not colonizers.

And a 1:1-1:2 combatant-to-civilian ratio isn’t classified as a genocide. A war doesn’t need to be called genocide to be horrible. Spreading misinformation ultimately harms both sides.

A BRIEF LESSON IN COLONIALISM

SINCE IT IS SUDDENLY A TOPIC OF GREAT INTEREST.

BRITISH COLONIALISM;

SPANISH COLONIALISM;

PORTUGUESE COLONIALISM;

ITALIAN COLONIALISM;

FRENCH COLONIALISM;

JAPANESE COLONIALISM;

ARABIC COLONIALISM;

AMERICAN COLONIALISM;

ISRAEL;

WOW. SUCH COLONY. VERY SETTLE.

WORDS HAVE MEANINGS. CAN WE STOP PRETENDING THIS WAS EVER ABOUT COLONIALISM?

THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK.

Honestly what pisses me off about the Wikipedia "can't say they're Jewish" thing is how insidiously one-sided it is.

Take, for example, these three famous Jews: Zsa Zsa Gabor, Kirk Douglas, and Danny Kaye. Excerpts from their Wikipedia pages are below.

Notice: "of Jewish ancestry," "embraced his Jewish heritage," "born... to Ukrainian-Jewish immigrants." Jewish, but not directly Jewish.

Compare now to right wing bigots Ben Shapiro, Laura Loomer, and Jacob Wohl. See if you can spot it.

"Is Jewish." "Is Jewish." "Is Jewish."

Why are the worst of us proudly labeled as Jews but the best of us begrudgingly associated with Jews, Wikipedia? What agenda do you have?

You know, when Trump won in 2016, I was terrified, but I also felt like no matter how bad the government got, I would be safe and supported and welcomed by the broad coalition of left-leaning anti-Trump organizations and groups: feminist groups, queer community spaces, immigrant rights groups, abortion funds, environmental advocates, gun control advocates, etc. I thought the people in the loose alliance of leftists, liberals, and moderates who were outraged by Trump’s administration and the actions of Republicans were my allies and would stand up for me as a member of a vulnerable minority.

I don’t feel that way anymore. I’ve spent the past year watching leftists and “progressives” cheer on Islamist groups who call for the death of my people. I’ve watched groups who focused on specific issues of domestic policy completely unrelated to foreign wars embrace Palestine as an omnicause, forcing antizionism into spaces that have nothing to do with Israel and making them progressively more hostile to Jews.

This time, I feel very, very alone. Jews are 2% of the American population, and we can’t trust our government, our neighbors, or progressive organizations and movements to keep us safe—or even just not advocate for our deaths. We only have each other, and with Hashem’s help, we will keep each other safe and keep our communities and institutions and traditions alive until better times come along. Kol Yisrael aravim zeh ba’zeh.

Anyway, if anything I’ve said resonates with you at all, please consider donating to The Red Tent Fund, a new Jewish abortion support organization founded by a Jewish woman who was pushed out of the abortion fund she previously worked for when the organization started pushing antisemitic propaganda and refused to acknowledge sexual violence against Israeli women.

How close are we to leftists saying "you know, if (((they))) got kicked out of 106 countries, it must have been for a reason..."

Just saw an "antizionism" blog named after black september, the very organization that orchestrated the munich olympics shooting. With a very obviously antisemitic pfp of a magen david being stabbed. If there is one nazi at your rally you are at a nazi rally. How the fuck can these people still claim to not hate jews.

[justasillylad]

“make auschwitz jewish again”

there are ACTUAL OUT AND PROUD NAZIS on this website. and literally nobody but the jews are talking about it.

let me repeat— there are people who think every jewish person or the majority of them deserve to DIE.

there are fucking nazis on this website

if you’re jewish and you’re tired clap your hands

One of the worst parts of planning a wedding after October is asking "which of our potential guests is normal about Jews?" Having to literally sleuth through social medias is disheartening.

We've already written off about 20 people, one of which used to be a meta and was potential bf for my partner. To see someone you cared for and could have had a relationship with just openly call for the death of your people is gut wrenching. A lot of people don't actually know I'm Jewish because I'm secular and so is my partner. In every instance of removing someone from our lives we get a message asking why. We lay out all of the antisemitism that they expressed over the course of these months and in every. single. instance. we've gotten some version of "well I respect your opinion, but I disagree". These are Left queer progressive types who have openly stated over and over again that if you are not part of that minority group you do not get to tell them what is and isn't offensive. So yeah, it's not just online discourse Lefties or campus protesters. It's people you may know on a personal level and have many, many memories with. They've sacrificed everything they stood for because of antisemitism and hatred. I'm so very tired.

My favorite podcast just disbanded.

From what I gather, taken with the largest possible grain of salt, the Jewish member of the group made a reference to finding a menorah after putting a lot of her judaica away. It was a nice moment for her.

It sounds like this brought on a big dogpile and the two other members of the podcast decried Israel, while the Jewish individual said “hey, maybe it’s not okay to demand this after I talked about a menorah.”

So now the two who aren’t Jewish, who I have always highly respected for their work toward anti racism in podcasting, are posting videos of themselves smashing things in rage rooms and vagueblogging.

These are married, adult people who had solid careers, who were willing to tank their successful show rather than listen to their life-long Jewish friend.

This is just one example of what is happening in the U.S. and how antisemitism is leaching into every element of our lives, but it feels like a good example of the everyday reality that we live with now.

[or-we-could-take-a-walk-together]

goyim: if i lived in 1930’s nazi germany, i would’ve never become a nazi, if anything i would’ve helped jews hide. i’d never fall for nazi conspiracy theories.

also goyim: jews zionists control the world and are responsible for every genocide to have ever happened, the jews zionists are no better than the nazis. the palestinians live in a ghetto open air prison. there are billions of jews zionists in the world and we must kill them all. but no i’m not antisemitic, just antizionist 😊.

do you think if we all asked really nicely they would stop making movies about the holocaust

[perfectlyvalid49]

Today is January 27th, which is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and I'd like to get some stuff off my chest.

First, I'd like to take a minute to point out that it is not Yom HaShoah, which is the day Israel (and by extension large portions of the Jewish diaspora population) uses as Holocaust Remembrance day. Yom HaShoah is on the 27th of Nisan, a date that was selected to commemorate the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, centering Jewish resistance in our own story. That date was selected nearly five decades before the UN picked January 27th, which was selected to center our white saviors who came to liberate Auschwitz. This is utter bullshit. And no excuses for not being able to handle a moving date on the Gregorian calendar - April 19th would be the Gregorian equivalent, and it was not selected.

Having said that, given how many infographics I've seen over the last four months about how people are increasingly denying or doubting the Holocaust, I figure any day that acknowledges it is a good thing, so yeah, let's take two days to remember. I think it's worth it.

So given that this is the Holocaust Remembrance Day that centers our goyishe friends, let's talk about how our goyishe friends should observe the day.

1. It is likely that you never learned a lot of details about the Holocaust. Holocaust education usually boils down to, "and the Nazis put Jews in camps in order to kill them, and a lot of Jews were killed in gas chambers, and about 6 million died in all." Go learn some details. Read or watch an account from a survivor.  Learn about the medical experiments, or the death marches. Learn some details about what the gas chambers were actually like. Try to understand the horror. Learn about the SS St. Louis or the Evian conference in 1938 where almost every country on Earth decided it was better to let the Jews die in Germany than to allow them into their own countries.

2. On that note, take the time to understand that anti-semitism neither began nor ended with the Nazis, and that even the "good guys" were incredibly antisemitic.Try to recognize that the antisemitism that was present where you live right now in the 1930s didn't just disappear, it just went into hiding. Think about where it might be hiding now.

Basically, because this is the Holocaust Remembrance Day for the goyim, I want to focus our remembrance of what happened on the goyim. What did they do? What could they have done to help? Why didn't they? We can come back in May for more Jewish focused learning, but the Holocaust could not have happened without A LOT of willing goyim, and I think we should spend the day remembering them and their actions.

And as a side note: if you happen to read this and you've chosen to spend the day engaging in Holocaust denial or Holocaust inversion, then know that my hope for you is that something happens in your life to teach you empathy and basic human decency. And I hope it isn't pleasant for you.

Something i feel non jews/goyim don't realize is that being jewish right now is very tiring.

Whilst there are amazing online communities that I am apart of, my irl life is very different.

my ex friend who is still in my friend group is openly antisemetic online. Im not sure if my friends have even picked up on that or seen his posts as idk how often they go on tumblr.

Every day i wonder if my friends ever agree with any antisemtism. None of them have spoken out about it. I feel like I can't even share any antisemitism i experience online or irl with my irl friends without them being uncomfortable because its common for goyim to be uncomfortable with discussions surronding antisemitism.

I just feel so alone and isolated irl all my attempts to fill that void online is like putting a bandaid on a gunshot wound.
