#when they can use their jewishness as a weapon against the rest of the jewish community and be praised by the goyim

"as a jew"

*looks at blog*

"I passed by a synagogue once and my great great granddad's dog might have been jewish? so yea I'm like. the most jewish jew that ever jewed totally take whatever I say on jewish culture and history as gospel."

[im-not-your-nice-jewish-boy]

we've got long memories

I am not the least bit surprised by any of the tidal wave of antisemitism the left has spewed since October 7th. Every single post saying Hamas did nothing wrong; every single targeted attack on my fellow Jewish people on this site; the number of people who proudly paraded misinformation and disinformation to the extent of funding organizations actual Palestinians have said outright don't help them in any way just because it's against Israel which means that it must be good. None of this is surprising to me.

Now, maybe you could say that I'm a cynical bastard, and you'd be right. But you'd also completely be missing why I'm a cynical bastard. I learned this from my mother, who was beaten up just for being Jewish as a child. I learned this from family who disappeared between my ancestors fleeing the countries they came from and looking to see who made it with them. I learned this from the story of one of my grandfathers picking a new birthday because his birth certificate had been burned when the Shul was destroyed so he had no idea when it was. I learned this from people using "Jewish" as an insult in school and watching a girl I knew break down in tears because people were calling her a Jew when she wasn't. I learned this from holiday after holiday that repeated the same verse of people trying to destroy us and us celebrating our survival.

We remember these things because the rest of the world is very good at deliberately forgetting them.

"It's not that bad because it happened to the Jews. It's not an actual problem because Jews are white anyway. Was the Holocaust really even so terrible? Why do you want to be oppressed so badly if not to use it as a weapon against people who you're oppressing yourselves?"

Some variety of every single one of those is something I've seen in recent memory.

So, dear Passionate Goy Internet Leftists who have spent the last few months attacking and accosting every single Jewish person who dares to speak on the issue in any way that doesn't make them a Good Jew?

My dear friend, just know that we will remember you. You can try to go back to normal. You can try to just sweep it under the rug. You can try to act like it was all just business as usual and there was no harm done to any "Good Jews" and just to the "Evil Zionists" (both of which deserve their own rant post and have multiple of them from people a lot smarter than I am).

We will remember what you did

You will never be able to make us forget you calling for our deaths

And most of all, we will outlive you, just like everyone else who ever bayed for our blood

[hussyknee]

I just want to make one thing very clear. Black and brown people, especially Muslims right now, don't owe white people for your allyship in racial justice. Not even those who are themselves systemically marginalized in some way. Not white Jews, not white queers, not white disabled, not white working class, not white poor.

Whiteness is the most lethal kind of oppression because it built the current colonial capitalist, imperialist world order. Every white person benefits from and is complicit in its systems in some way because white supremacy is global. Whatever marginalization has white people in it can be and is easily weaponized against the mellanated. When charged with your racist, exclusionary and oppressive behaviour you hold up Black and brown people of the same marginalizations as tokens. This is the only time they are ever visible; more often than not you profit off their labour, hoard their gains, throw them under the bus and make them part of your iconography for liberal progress points once they're dead and have no inconvenient opinions about your conduct.

This is why it's very hard for Black and brown people to take accusations of bigotry towards you in good faith. We also have a duty of care towards others but more often than not it feels like you want us to do what you want while holding a knife to our necks. Even when you don't do it directly, you issue demands like "if you don't do x and y you clearly don't care about my people and deserve the worst!!!" without considering for a moment that the full brunt of that policing will always fall on Black and brown people, because punitive justice exercises itself first and foremost on the vulnerable. If your demands for allyship carry disproportionate punishment for Black and brown people should we refuse, you're just on some power trip and never needed our help in the first place. This also obfuscates the needs and disenfranchisement of BIPOC Jewish, queer, poor, disabled and Global South people, because without racial justice, few of your gains will ever materialise in their lives. It's always trickle down liberation for the rest of us.

Your allyship is supposed to be the work of conscience, a recognition of injustice and a drive towards privilege equal to your own. For white people, it's an individual reparation on your part. It is not an act of kindness, or benevolence, or a transaction that must be repaid in kind. The worst of us deserve the same rights the worst of you already have. That's the meaning of equality. If you're willing to let us get fired, deported, or brutally murdered for bad behaviour, then not only were you never an ally, you were also just waiting for the opportunity to use that weapon you claim you never wanted. There is no justice in an asymmetry of power.

[hero-israel]

What they said.

And I could have put another 4-6 similar messages in here, I can tell what is weighing on peoples' minds. Though we are outnumbered, it is not hard to see through the lies of our enemies. We just need people who will listen to us.

"Every accusation is a confession" was never more true than in claiming JEWS want to kill off ARABS. The briefest review of regional demographics - WHO has actually wiped out WHOM - makes that instantly clear. Mahmoud Abbas said his family fled their home in Safed in 1948 because they were sure the Jews would try to get revenge for Arab massacres in 1929. In 1967 when Israel took the West Bank, Arabs in Hebron were so afraid of reprisals for 1929 that they flew white bedsheets from their windows and piled their weapons outside their front doors.

There is no such thing as a "genocide" that is true for Palestinians but false for white people. And while most of the time, posting about hypocrisy and double standards isn't going to make a real-life change, this is one time where I'd really like people to point it out, to demand answers from those who correctly identify the Alt-Right as lying. We should also request clarification on whether all warfare involving urban bombing is automatically considered genocide (spoiler: it isn't, but this time Jews are involved, aha!).

Desmond Tutu was notorious for insisting Jews forgive the genocide that had actually been committed against them and also that they be constantly condemned and judged for the potential genocide they were always just about to commit. It is not even meant as a statement of fact - just a way to put us in our place. As David Schraub put it:

For thousands of years, for much of the world, part of the cultural patrimony enjoyed by all non-Jews -- spiritual and secular, Church and Mosque, enlightenment and romantic, European and Middle Eastern -- was the unquestionable right to stand superior over Jews. It was that right which the Holocaust took away, or at least called into question; the unthinking faith of knowing you were the more enlightened one, the spiritually purer one, the more rational one, the dispenser of morality rather than the object of it. To be sure, some people were better positioned to enjoy this right than others. And some people arrived onto the scene late in the game, only to discover that part of the bounty they were promised may no longer be on the table. Of course they're aggrieved! The European immigrant who never owned a slave but was at least promised racial superiority is quite resentful when the wages of Whiteness stop being what they once were. Similarly, persons who lived far from the centers of Christian or Muslim power where Jewish subordination was forged are nonetheless well aware of what was supposed to be included in modernity's gift basket. They recognize what they've "lost" as acutely as anyone else.

Every definition of "genocide" rests on intent; you cannot accidentally do it. That's what both the U.N., Genocide Watch, and basic common sense say. The militia going door-to-door to torture and massacre all the children and elderly is genocidal intent. "The missile launcher built into your house just fired at us, we will now destroy it, you have 5 minutes to evacuate" is not.

I have no idea what is coming next in Gaza, how long it will last or how bad it will get. Godforbid, if the death toll gets another zero at the end, it may become impossible to get people to see it as non-genocidal, regardless of what is empirically, definitionally true. But if people are going to cite sources and moral authorities, let them stick with the boundaries they have introduced.

Mel Brooks, who mocked Adolf Hitler in his 1967 black comedy “The Producers,” has always made the case for satire as a weapon against tyranny.

“You have to bring him down with ridicule,” he told “60 Minutes” in 2001. “It’s been one of my lifelong jobs — to make the world laugh at Adolf Hitler.”

Of course, Hitler was long dead and there were 6 million fewer Jews on the planet when “The Producers” came out. Before and during World War II, satire proved a futile weapon against the Fuhrer: Charlie Chaplin made “The Great Dictator” in 1940, similarly reducing Hitler to a buffoon. But by the time the movie premiered that October, nearly 3 million German troops had smashed into France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

 The futility of satire was on my mind when, on the Thursday after Election Day, I toured a new exhibit at the Jewish Museum on the Upper East Side in Manhattan. “Draw Them In, Paint Them Out: Trenton Doyle Hancock Confronts Philip Guston” features two artists, one Jewish, one African-American, whose work wrestles with racism, white supremacy and antisemitism. 

Philip Guston, born Phillip Goldstein in Montreal in 1913, was inspired by the ferment of the 1960s to create a series of cartoonish paintings featuring hooded members of the Ku Klux Klan. In these almost cheerful paintings, the frightening avatars of white supremacy look like costumed children out of a Charlie Brown comic (or, more accurately, from “Krazy Kat,” a popular comic strip in Guston’s youth).

“These buffoonish Klansmen still today are a real rebuke, I think, to bigotry in all its forms,” curator Rebecca Shaykin, who organized the exhibit, said at the press opening. “They’re still just so incredibly powerful.”

About a third of the gallery is given over to Guston’s Klan paintings, as well as some of his earlier work. The rest features riotous paintings, cartoons and a film by Hancock, a Texas-born artist who was a child when Guston died in 1980 in upstate Woodstock, New York. Many of Hancock’s paintings directly quote Guston’s Klansmen: They are in painting after painting featuring “Torpedoboy,” a sort of Black superhero who Hancock considers his alter ego. The Klansmen try to lynch Torpedoboy; he fights back with what looks like a watermelon. In one painting, Torpedoboy appears to drive a spike through a Klansman’s head. 

In the exhibition catalog, Hancock describes what attracted him to Guston’s Klan paintings. “I fell in love with the forms, and how he used comedy to take the wind out of the sails of the KKK,” says Hancock. “He helped me understand where I could take” my own characters.”

Whether audiences appreciate the comedy depends on their sensibility; remember, it was decades before “The Producers” lost its “notorious” label and became a beloved institution, at least in its adaptation as a Broadway musical. For some, the Klan paintings by both artists could be triggering. In 2020, at the height of the Black Lives Matter movement, four major museums certainly thought so, and postponed a comprehensive survey of Guston’s work. They explained that “the powerful message of social and racial justice that is at the center of Philip Guston’s work can be more clearly interpreted.” 

When the exhibition did open at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 2022, the museum offered a pamphlet from a trauma specialist and a detour allowing visitors to skip the Klan-themed works. 

The Jewish Museum seems unfazed by that controversy. When I asked Shaykin about it she said the Guston-Hancock show had already been percolating when she learned of the postponement controversy. “It just made it more imperative, I think, that we bring Guston into the present moment and pair him with a contemporary artist,” she said. The only suggestion that images might be controversial is a sign outside the gallery, warning that the exhibit contains “explicit language” and “depictions of violence and lynchings.”

James Snyder, director of the Jewish Museum, also said the exhibit is right for the political moment. 

“We don’t do politics,” he said at the press preview, “but if you think about what happened the other day in the election, and where we actually really need to go, this show could not be more timely.”

What happened, of course, was the election of Donald Trump to a second, non-consecutive term. And if ever there was a rebuke to the power of satire, it is Trump. Trump was a nightly target of nearly all the late-night talk shows, where he was mocked as a racist, a would-be authoritarian, a grifter and a vulgarian. With just a week to go before the election, Jimmy Kimmel made a direct appeal to Republicans to reject Trump, calling him “the exact meeting point between QAnon and QVC.” For years Stephen Colbert wouldn’t even say his name.

Deserved or not, the jokes about Trump didn’t make a dent in his popularity — and perhaps they only added to it. In a recent episode of his podcast, “Revisionist History,” Malcolm Gladwell talks about the “satire paradox”: the idea that satire, by making the targets entertaining, actually makes them more sympathetic. He quotes Jonathan Coe, a British writer who argued in a 2023 essay that “laughter is not just ineffectual as a form of protest, but that it actually replaces protest.”

“Laughter, in a way, is a kind of last resort,” Coe tells Gladwell. “If you’re up against a problem which is completely intractable, if you’re up against a situation for which there is no human solution and never will be, then OK, let’s laugh about it.”

Not that Guston and Hancock are not deadly serious in their aims. The art is provocative and appropriately disturbing. The exhibit suggests that Guston, who changed his name from the identifiably Jewish “Goldstein” in 1935, later felt guilty about abdicating his identity — and as a result felt complicit with the Klansmen who sought to erase both Jews and Black people. “They are self-portraits,” Guston once said of the Klan paintings. “I perceive myself as being behind the hood.”

Hancock’s seemingly humorous works are also working through extremely grim themes. The Klan was active in his hometown of Paris, Texas, and in 2021 a KKK chapter planned a “White Unity Conference” there before it was blocked by the city council. Born in the mid-1970s, Hancock acknowledges in the catalog that he had benefited from the “heavy lifting” done by his elders in the Civil Rights Movement. But as a Black man and Black artist, he couldn’t ignore the legacy of racism. “It wasn’t until I was much older that I started to peel away those layers, or have them peeled away for me,” he says.

That’s why the most effective works in the exhibit aren’t satirical. At all. They include early work by Guston, who already as a teenager was depicting the Klan and lynchings in the social realist style of the day. Nothing about these dark, frightening images is cartoonish or ambiguous.

And perhaps the most arresting work in the show is a video installation by Hancock, showing scenes from the fairgrounds of Paris, Texas, juxtaposed with photographs of the lynching of a Black teenager, Henry Smith, which took place on the same site in 1893. Hundreds gather around the makeshift gallows to watch the execution. They seem to be having a very good time.   

“Draw Them In, Paint Them Out: Trenton Doyle Hancock Confronts Philip Guston” is on view at The Jewish Museum, 1109 Fifth Ave., through March 30, 2025.

not reblogging to feed the trolls or whatever but @describe-things please get those pride flags the fuck off of your profile if you actually care so little about queer people and the like by not voting in support of them

[ID: A screenshot of the reply showing the text above. End ID.]

@notfriendlyhougen "stop letting people make their art accessible if you don't support genocide"

ok fascist. You really think you can use Queer people as an excuse to support genocide. You're really that dedicated to pinkwashing genocide to uphold white supermacy you're gonna get mad that I provide people with accessability tools. Do you not understand how pathetically racist and queermisic this is?

You cannot fucking claim you support Queer people if you're going to use our existance to uphold genocide. You are not supporting Queer people by using us as a bludgeon with which to uphold white supremacy and genocide.

Legitimately what has to be wrong with you to make a statement like this. "stop providing people with accessibility tools if you won't support genocide"

Yeah, no, that's not how this works. You do not get to use Queer people to support genocide.

None of us are free until all of us are free. You cannot fucking sacrifice Palestinians or anyone else to win "freedom".

You racist fascist shitheads do not get to pinkwash genocide and pretend that Queer minorities are the "real villains" when we refuse to play your fascist racist genocidal game.

What part of "Queer as in free Palestine" do you not understand.

I am lesbian and transgender. I am a working-class, secular Jewish socialist. So let my first words be these: I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Arab and Muslim people in this room and around the world in the battle against the real axis of evil: the White House, Pentagon and Justice Department. And with every breath and every sinew, I fight for Palestinian liberation.

-Leslie Feinberg at the Al-Fatiha international retreat in Washington DC in the spring of 2002

@notfriendlyhougen you will never get Queer liberation without Palestinian liberation. White Supremacy and Genocide will never pave the way for Queer liberation.

Don't you fucking dare tell actual Queer fucking minorities that we're harming ourselves by giving a shit about people suffering literal gods damned genocide. Don't you fucking dare try to use us as a weapon to silence opposition to white supremacy and colonization.

Voting for Genocide is never voting for the rights of Queer people. And the fact that you want to pretend otherwise just goes to show how despicably fucking evil you've allowed yourself to become.

You want to pretend you care about Queer people but you really only mean Privileged White American Queers. You don't give a single shit about anyone else.

Just fucking say you want to go back to brunch and leave fucking Queer people who actually have morals out of your fucking excuses for why you think it's okay to uphold colonialism, white supremacy, and literal out and out genocide.

There is no Pride in genocide. You cannot fucking weaponize us to support genocide.

I hope you spend every waking moment of the rest of your life suffering in shame for what you've done and what you're going to do.

Don't you fucking dare pretend you care about Queer people when you're fine with them being slaughtered on live TV as long as you think it'll benefit you.

You are not taking a stance for Queer rights. You are willingfully and proudly supporting genocide and white supremacy. And you do not get to fucking weaponize Queer people to justify it.

The fucking gall to demand I stop providing people with accessability tools because I refuse to support genocide. Do you have any fucking clue how absurdly racist and queermisic you are?

[qaraxuanzenith]

I've been saying this for a while, but finding this post on my dash has, I feel, given me more tools to express this thought about why Jews (especially in the US and American-dominated online spaces) are feeling increasingly alienated by their leftist friends. Why many Jews who otherwise lean left will vote right, much to the dismay and even revulsion of their leftist friends. Why many Jews end up feeling "safer" leaning right. Why it is not fair or reasonable to "blame" these Jews for exercising their democratic right of secret ballot in such a way.

I'm screenshotting the post because (a) it's long, and (b) most of its content is not actually the point here. I'm not trying to argue with the OP or with my acquaintance who reblogged it onto my dash. I just want to explain what I find troubling about it.

The post is, as I said, long. I'll be honest: I only skimmed it. I'm not American. So skimming past - scrolling past to see the rest of my dash - I saw a lot of things where my brain went "Oh, that looks bad," but, you know, in a vague sort of way. Bad, but doesn't impact me directly. Or bad, but not in a way I can do anything about it either way (especially since I can't vote in the US). Or bad-ish, but that's not an issue of deep importance to me personally. And then I saw this:

And suddenly I felt hostile to the OP, because oh look, they just lumped in supporting my homeland, where my family live, which is currently under attack and in dire need of support, as a "bad" thing. Suddenly I feel like OP hates me, or at least, considers my continued existence on their own list of "bad-ish, but that's not an issue of deep importance to me personally."

But you know what? I kept scrolling. It felt like such a mild lip-service anti-Israel line that I thought, "Maybe this person doesn't hate Jews and Israel so much." I reevaluated my initial hostile response and decided to give OP a second chance, to walk it back. It sickens me that I've gotten so used to racism against my people that some expressions of it just don't register anymore. But I kept scrolling, and it got worse.

So what I'm reading here is an excerpt from the document that sounds, to me as a Jewish person, eminently reasonable and reassuring. Couched in language and context from OP that wants to paint it as a bad thing that the writers of this document believe that Israel, the Jewish state and Jewish indigenous homeland, should be able to defend itself against... *checks notes* three terrorist organizations with genocide against Jews explicitly in their mandate, and one dictatorship country which has repeatedly expressed that it has the desire and is working on having the means to "wipe Israel off the map."

Perhaps OP has been living under a rock (or, like me, only really focuses on political updates that hit close to home) for the past 7 and a half months and is unaware of Hamas's horrific attack of October 7, 2023 against Israel, in which civilians were brutally slaughtered, young women raped, mutilated bodies paraded through the streets, and dozens abducted - many of whom are still in captivity to the terrorist organization which has not allowed any humanitarian visits to the hostages or even confirmed proof of life for those it still holds.

But when I read the above excerpted paragraph, I went from "I'm not American but I guess most of this sounds vaguely bad" to "I hope this party wins." "I hope that this specific part of this platform is implemented because it is offering support, protection, and safety for me and my family."

You - OP and people who share their views; you as non-Jews who do not share in our unique suffering - you have no right to blame us for choosing our own survival. I would expect you to prioritize yours, as well.

It is things like this - not this platform, but this post, lumping in support of Israel against three terrorist organizations and a genocidal dictatorship with all the other "bad" things like deforestation and nuclear weapons, that push Jews to the right, or at least away from this part of the left. It is reading things like this, that take it for granted that my family and I should not be protected, should not have a right to live in our home, that radicalize people like me.

You're right: most of the other things here are things I would deem as "bad," but if I embrace this platform with open arms at least I get to survive, to fight against the rest another day. Better than rejecting it in favour of someone who has otherwise wonderful ideals but wants me dead.

I want to be able to care about all the other "bad" things in that post, in that document, but right now, we are bleeding. If I had to vote on it right now, I would choose whoever penned this document or stands behind it, because I need to prioritize my safety and continued survival over any other platform issue, and if I am not for myself, who will be for me?

Not my friends on the left who decry support of Israel against genocidal terrorists as a bad thing, that's for sure.

The mob besieging the synagogue on Pico Boulevard past which a children’s parade had recently passed to celebrate the Lag Baomer interregnum between the biblical Passover and Pentecost came accompanied by all the infrastructure developed over the years of leftist riots.

The younger leftist thugs wore ski goggles and masks, carried skateboards and metal water bottles, ‘legal’ weapons typically seen during Antifa clashes, and some were likely among those who had previously terrorized Jewish students at the UCLA terror encampment. And it did not take much time before they were assaulting Jewish community members in the neighborhood.

The terrorist supporters had brought their own legal aid with them in the form of the sneering ‘observers’ from the National Lawyers Guild, a Communist Cold War era organization, in their caps and shirts. They also had human shields in the form of activists in black face masks holding up handwritten signs claiming that they were Jewish and opposed to the Jewish State.

A handful of women (who were by far the minority) circulated between the Jewish community members and the LAPD officers and the terrorist supporters to also provide cover for the repeated terrorist assaults in the ‘chicks out front’ doctrine from the Marxist riots of the 1960s.

In a small scale recreation of the Gaza war in the middle of Los Angeles, Muslim teenagers and men masked in keffiyahs gathered near an alley and launched sorties, attacking Jewish community members, then using bear spray to cover their retreat, hiding behind the women, the leftist activists and the ‘Jewish’ opponents of Israel who turned around and played victim.

The stakes might be smaller but here was Hamas, here were the Jewish targets, and here also was the support infrastructure of leftists activists, lawyers and ‘journalists’ covering for them.

The whole Islamic terrorist strategy of Jihadists masking up, attacking and then hiding behind human shields was playing out on a normal street between two synagogues, a tailor shop, a dress shop, a watch repair place, and several restaurants.

The microcosm of clashes outside the synagogue became a citywide and then a national story. Public officials were forced to condemn it, but the media, led by the LA Times, whitewashed the attacks, quoted officials from CAIR, whose leaders had celebrated the Oct 7 atrocities by Hamas, and then editorialized against security for synagogues and a terror mask ban.

By the time the LA Times, the rest of the media and the leftist allies of the Islamic thugs were done, attacking a synagogue and assaulting Jewish community members had become a virtue.

Much as the only person to face serious charges after the Hamas encampment at UCLA terrorized Jewish students was a Jewish high school student, so too the only person arrested by the police when terrorist supporters attacked a synagogue was a Jewish community member.

The ‘Israel’ model was playing out the same way in L.A. And it can play out this way anywhere.

That is the most important lesson of the assault on a previously unknown synagogue in a neighborhood that most people ignore while passing between Santa Monica and Downtown LA.

My mom bought me these boots from Zara in Denver a few weeks back. She could feel me sinking into a pit of rage, grief, and hopelessness. So, she came to meet me in Denver and upon landing, took me to walk the mall “just to get out and move through it.” My mother, a miracle, born to a father who was the sole Holocaust survivor in his family, knows a thing or two about battling anger and grief at a world fixated on annihilating Jews and our spirits.

 I've been intimately familiar with the horrors of October 7th since it happened. Like countless Jews, I've meticulously followed every gruesome detail of Hamas' well-planned and well-funded genocide attempt. Every despicable act of torture, rape, and murder – etched into my bones. On top of that, I follow daily the relentless onslaught of people and communities celebrating, erasing, and justifying the slaughter, while denying our right to defend ourselves. Watching old friends ‘like’ and share posts constantly which dehumanize Jews and lie about Israel, putting our lives further at risk. Contending with all of this over the past few months has been unbearable. Like many Jews, I'm haunted both awake and asleep. 

I've been debilitated, struggling to cope with all of it. How do we carry on in a country where so many wish us dead? How do we thrive in a place that dismisses our pain and disregards our countless contributions to society? How do I contemplate having children in a place where their lives aren't valued? How can I coexist with so many people who, at best, couldn't care less about the brutal murders of over 1200, the kidnapping and daily ongoing torture of hundreds more for over 119 days, while the world cheers for the rest of us to be annihilated? How do I sleep at night when all I can think about are the looming threats to Israel and the Jewish people, the treatment of our hostages, and the insidious web of hatred that constantly engulfs our existence? 

When my mom handed me these boots, I thought they might be fitting for Israel, but I didn't really dwell on it. I knew the journey would be grueling. And while I thought I already knew the gruesome details, walking through the aftermath is a different level of knowing. These boots tread through miles of hell – the remnants of homes ruthlessly attacked by a kind of evil I couldn't fathom existed. An evil that deliberately targeted communities of Israelis dedicated to peace, only to be met with beheadings, rape, burning alive, and slaughter.

 These boots tread through miles of desolation – the aftermath of thousands of terrorists and hundreds of so-called "civilians" perpetrating unspeakable acts against over a thousand innocent, peace-loving people. These vile rapists and murderers were the beneficiaries for years of those they heartlessly slaughtered. They were acquainted with so many of these good people, the very people they mercilessly killed. Several of these compassionate Israelis had welcomed these terrorists into their homes for years, offered them work opportunities, and tirelessly tried to help them lead a better life. 

These boots ventured through charred remains, blood-soaked grounds, and homes, bomb shelters, and once-beloved personal spaces and belongings torn apart, covered in bullet holes, reduced to pieces and char – all obliterated by hours of relentless assaults by terrorists armed with thousands of machine guns, fire bombs, and RPGs. Weapons funded, in part, by American and European taxpayers, whose leaders for years knowingly funneled billions into a terror operation whose sole objective is eradicating Israel and every Jew from the map before extending their genocidal ambitions westward. 

After coming back from our third trip to the massacre sites in the south, 

@JordynTilchen

insisted on me wiping these boots down before stepping into our rental, but the weight of what they carried was too immense. I couldn't erase the traces of blood and death that clung to them. Instead, I brought them home with me wrapped in several bags. These boots hold more than just grime; they carry the echoes of unspeakable atrocities and the silent cries of hundreds and hundreds of innocent lives ruthlessly tortured and taken.

 I've decided to give them a burial here, to acknowledge the horrors they tread through, the shattered communities and homes they traversed, and to honor the remains of the once-beautiful lives torn from existence that cling to them. As I do this, I promise to honor not only those brutally murdered and taken hostage, but also those who are risking everything to defend the rest of us. I promise to continue to do my best to not be consumed by what feels like a tsunami of hopelessness, but to pick myself back up and channel this endless grief and anger into meaningful action and resilience.

i have only gotten a little way into this article (taking a short break to rest my brain) but i am really agreeing and finding meaning in it so far. i think it especially reminds me of criticisms i've seen of jewish anti-zionist organizing and how it can end up taking up more space and attention than palestinian organizing and how that is a problem. i think in many ways we see this narrative being framed around us and we think "no this is wrong! i need to correct this narrative. because i know this narrative is not true." and that is an instinct that makes sense when we see our identities and existences being used as weapons against people but i think it is important instead of reframing or trying to fix the narrative ourselves to hand the narrative back to palestinians, because it is their narrative and it is their story and it is their home.

Hamas decided it needed to clarify its position.

In order for there to be a ceasefire, the IDF has to withdraw and halt all operations against it. The ceasefire must be permanent.

Only after a permanent ceasefire, will Hamas consider a deal for the hostages.

This is per Mohammed Nazzal, a senior Hamas official who is head for Hamas political wing per Israel Today’s telegram.

This leads me to two dark thoughts. First, his makes me believe all or most of the hostages are dead. Second, Israel needs to commit genocide. The world will not protect Jews. They will bend over backwards to excuse the people trying to kill us. Fuck them.

I was reading a book last year about the American Indian wars on the plains. And before that about the fighting between American continentals and Indians during the Revolutionary War. And I could not grasp how people who were nominally “civilized” and the product of Enlightenment could decide, “yup, we’re just going to kill as many as we can to kill as many as we can to make them understand we mean business and own the land and if they’re all dead at the end of it,s o be it” or something along those lines. But I think I’m starting to understand how they could reach that point. Congrats Hamas, you broke me. Now I’m willing to support a different option.

The one thing that has become absolutely clear from the videos and testimony of the IDF soldiers operating in Gaza is this: no one there is innocent. Every house there are weapons caches. Every school seems to contain rocket launchers. Hospitals are used for command and control. Ambulances ferry Hamas and their allies from one fight to another, abusing the medical symbols that adorn them. They parade their own kids as if they are injured in attacks, although the lack of blood is often evident, which is especially galling when the kids are supposed to be suffering from head wounds. They have off duty personnel act as corpses so that they beam the images to gullible idiots that infest the Western world. They taunt the families for hostages, making a game of their misery and then killing hostages. Those hostages that did try to escape, were returns to Hamas custody by non-combatant civilians (the word “innocent” can never be used for anyone living in Gaza.)

Let the IDF do what they claim the IDF has been doing but hasn’t; for 75 years. Let them fucking experience death like they have not experienced it. They want to do what the Japanese veered away from doing in 1945 when Hirohito finally woke up to the fact that the US was going to the end the Japanese as a race beyond those living in the diaspora or POW camps. Hamas doesn’t have anyone with that level of care for their people. So let the IDF do it. I’m done arguing for mercy, for a 2 state solution, for anything that allows Hamas to live and Fatah to believe that it can erase Israel from the map.

And yes, I get that this means killing women and children. But we did that on an industrial scale to the Germans and Japanese when they started wars of aggression against the rest of the world. Would I want my children to die? No, which is why I’m coming around to this way of thinking. My children are Jewish. Hamas and others have made it clear they want to eradicate me and my family for no other reason than we are Jewish. The Democrats and the “good” people on the Left seem to want me to compromise which means offering up either some of my children and/or Israel as a sacrifice so the remnants of my family and the Jews cant wait until someone else decides our usefulness is at an end, as they have in virtually every country at one point or another, and we should be killed or, in the more humane moments, expelled after all of wealth being seized by the crown/church/government.

Some Jews have and will decide to collaborate with out enemy. To hell with them. Hashem will grind their bones for their perfidy.

The coalition of Hamas accomplices, including progressives, ICRC, UN, and socialists, have decided that Hamas does not have to play by the rules. Well, if thats the case, then the IDF should not be bound by them either. This is what they want. Let’s give it to them. Let let these utopianists see what actually happens when they get what they’ve been yearning to experience for years.

The only sin Israel committed in 1948-1949 was not committing the atrocities that the Arabs claimed they did. I feel bad for the IDF troopers who have to fight this war. I hate that the fucking Arabs have forced them to do this. I keep hoping there will be an Israeli generation that hasn’t had to go to war.

If the Arabs don’t get tired of watching their people die while holding hostages, so be it. None of them is worth the life of a single Israeli. They’ve taught me that since 10/7.

hello again

i saw your tags asking about what more you can do for palestine and i saw this slideshow on tiktok

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8BgH6S4/

it doesnt really have donation palces listed on the slides. i'm not 100% sure but it seems like humanitarian aid is trickier because so much can't really be let into without the israeli government allowing it. and what they have allowed is dangerously little for how much the people need. but by all means continue looking into more sources.

i've seen some posts about getting e-sims/sim cards from other countries for the people's phones in the event they lose internet or cell towers again, they'll still be able to communicate and share more information with the rest of the world

Thank you for the link! I actually noticed the tiktok account is basically a link to a site called Amaliah.com which actually has links and more in-depth information that just what the slideshow shows.

I'm looking at these three site pages for what individuals can possibly do. There's boycotting here. Resource and Activism Guide which is the more in-depth info I mentioned above; it lists protests in locations from all over the world. While it's most likely past those dates, I figure that means at the least that if you're in any of those parts of the world, that you can look into those protests to see if they're still ongoing and have ways to join. Then this here shows ways to Post Support.

Below the read more line will be what I've gathered from looking into a few things that I wanted to look into a few days ago and have now gotten around to doing so.

I somewhat listened to Joe Biden’s speech regarding the “Israel-Hamas conflict”. He made some remarks about god/religion, maybe that was to show support for Judaism? The way he painted it, Hamas is a terrorist group that attacked Israel. He also states that Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people. Biden says that he has asked that the Israeli government allow aid to go to Gaza civilians and to allow them to cross the border into Egypt while not allowing the same to Hamas. Then says he’s demanded that the Israeli government allow Redcross see their hostages to provide aid to them. The president also shares that America has sent $100 mil in humanitarian aid to Gaza and the West Bank.

Joe Biden also shared an anecdote that I felt is a bit odd but interesting. Apparently at a time when he was still a senator, he had met with an Israeli prime minister. The prime minister had told him not to worry and that they have a secret weapon. That they have nowhere else to go. That comment along with Joe’s comment about Israel being a place of safety for Jewish people. With what I’ve heard of what’s been done to Palestinian people by the Israeli military/government, it does seem like the idea is to try to paint the image that Israel is defending itself and that Judaism is under attack.

So this gives me the impression that the American government is on the side of Israel, but doesn’t fully support bombing Gaza. That the American government believes this to be a response to an attack, that everything is just a fight against Hamas. Though I’m hearing things suggesting that the Israeli government is using that as a cover-up/excuse for attacking Palestinians.

CNN’s article shared no witnesses or anything type of proof of Hamas beheading children. Yet I’ve seen a video of a witness sharing how he saw  an Israeli military soldier burning a man and his son alive back in 1948. I’ve even seen an article stating how in America there are people attacking Jewish people as if they somehow have anything to do directly with what Israel is doing? Which may be a sad byproduct of how much the Israeli government is also viewed as a representation of Judaism? Or at least with them trying to give this idea that Judaism is under attack and that this is a self-defense of religion?

I would like to state that religious people don’t always perfectly follow their religious teachings. Also a government attacking a group of people does not reflect the religion that said government may say they follow. One of the ten commandments, which I’m guessing that most christian religions follow, is to “love thy neighbor”. Which would mean to accept and embrace them, not eradicate someone who’s not exactly the same as you. Apologies, that does sound a bit preachy, but I just want to point out that I’m pretty sure christianity is about peace. Also from my understanding, a religion counting as a christianity religion is if it believes in one God along with Jesus Christ. (I say along as I do know that some religions believe them to be the same person while others believe them to be separate beings.)

It does seem that Hamas attacked some homes in Israel, which then led to Israel bombing Gaza. I can understand the upset and anger as it appears to be random civilian homes that were attacked. Yet as my younger brother basically said, “It’s like eye for an eye, but instead of taking an eye, they’re taking half of the body for an eye.” (Not a perfect quote as my memory isn’t that great, but basically what he said when I was discussing what I’ve learned with him.) It’s upsetting that civilians were attacked, but it feels almost forgettable with what the Israeli government is doing now. It also seems that the attack was overexaggerated to make it seem that they have some justification in what they’re doing.

Currently it seems that there’s talk about displacing Palestinians into Egypt. Egypt has condemned Israel’s attack on the Jabalia refugee camp and is allowing apparently only specific Palestinians that were severely wounded to enter for treatment? Though I don’t know what Israel’s excuse is for taking air raids out on the West Bank. Maybe they could claim that the West Bank is supporting Gaza and that somehow justifies attacking it. This is absurd. It seems like somewhat slowly other countries are starting to realize how messed up this situation is, but I fear that a whole lot more death is going to occur before there is powerful and meaningful international interference.

October grows closer.

It is at once my favorite and least favorite time of year.

Every day, regardless of the month, of the year, I am in motion - my friends tell me I'm too hard on myself, some of them even tell me I work too hard, but I am in motion because I am constantly trying to outrun the obsessive belief that harasses me all day and night; I need to justify the space I take up.

I don't feel this way about anyone else. I don't think anyone else needs to justify their own existence.

I'm constantly looking for forgiveness, for someone to say, 'you've finally done enough good to have outweighed the harm you've done (intentionally and/or unintentionally), good work! Now you can rest!'

October comes and reminds me of everything, makes the inside of me so loud, I can't focus.

I was a miracle baby, born at 11:59pm, October 23rd.

I'm a Jewish witch - I love the serious holidays that fall in October, pagan and Jewish, and I love seeing people in silly costumes at the end of it.

The night I turned sixteen, I finally confessed to my parents that I'd been abused most of my childhood. It was around midnight then too.

I had done something unintentionally cruel to a friend (unprocessed trauma makes for some weird fuckin' behaviors), and we weren't exactly on speaking terms. I knew it was my fault, I knew I'd been the fuck-up, but she was my best friend, and I needed her there that night. I called her up, and she showed up.

She wasn't pleased with me. She didn't get why she was there, and I told her first - before my parents.

I told her who had done it - someone she knew. Someone everyone I knew also knew.

"Do you believe me?" I asked.

"Yeah, [person] tried the same thing with me, when I was younger."

I was flabbergasted.

"What happened?"

"I called for my mom," she told me, "why didn't you call for help?"

I don't remember if I said it out loud or not, but the answer was; it hadn't occurred to me as an option, to call for help.

She spent the night, slept as I went downstairs to tell my parents the worst of it, as much as I could assemble the words.

("I think it started when I was around 7 but it could've been earlier than that," "when I went to their house, someone else might've been involved, but my memories are all messed up, I don't remember," "there was a knife - I don't know if everything is okay, down there but I'm too scared to look," "yes, that's why I'm always covered up," "yes, that's why I-" "yes, that's why -" "yes, that's why-")

I hadn't really said the words, I was vague and it was still like clawing up heavy stones from out of my chest.

I'd wanted to die with those secrets. It's a longer story as to why I couldn't - why it fell on my birthday, why I had to come forward or someone else would.

My friend was gone in the morning and distanced herself more permanently.

My parents turned it into a weapon - against each other, and against me. No one knew what to do with me, no one knew how to help, and no one felt particularly inspired to learn how to.

I remember going up the stairs to bed that night, and it felt like I was shedding weights as I climbed the stairs. I'd never felt lighter, I'd never slept better - I thought, 'oh, good, finally, all the Bad Feelings will stop, and I'll be normal.'

My mother co-opts it where she can, is sometimes disbelieving of it, sometimes reduces its severity, but it depends on her audience. My father doesn't speak of it at all, which is fine, because we don't speak and never really have.

The friends I had then - they didn't rally around me. Maybe a month later, I moved 1500 miles away from everyone and everything I'd ever known, and started again. Right in the middle of my Junior year of high school.

My birthday used to be a happy sort of day, and then it became so somber, and regardless of the mood, I was alone in it.

No one understood October 23rd like I did; every year past the year of my first suicide attempt (I was 11) was an incredible mile marker. I didn't think I'd make it that far, I didn't think I'd have it in me - it was a day I had been raised to allot for praising my mother for having given birth to me. It used to be for someone else. I didn't know how to make it about myself, and making it about myself always felt like some sort of trap.

But it was also the day I freed myself of terrible secrets, it's the day that I showed some of my scars and said, 'if I don't live honestly from here on out, I think the memories and secrets will kill me.'

As October nears, I know it will be a countdown to my birthday, because it always is in my own head - it's not just my birthday, it's a day that marks many things, unlikely things, improbable, miraculous, horrible, ugly things.

As it comes closer, the mantra in my head gets louder.

I need to find forgiveness. I need to justify the space I take up. I need to be more helpful, I need to be more active, I need to be smarter, I need to be more cultured, more accomplished, more well-rounded, I need to be more than I am, I need it to serve everyone, endlessly, and I need to smile while I do it, I need to be convenient, I need to try to do better all the time.

That feeling of not being enough encroaches upon me, and I want so badly to enjoy October, but I don't know if I can.

An ex-boyfriend I had dated at the time I came forward accused me of lying about never having had an orgasm in my life (I hadn't), because, "you've been having sex since you were like, five, you probably had it and just didn't know what it was - here, I'll show you."

(He couldn't show me, he didn't, but I faked it because I needed to be convenient.)

There are 4 occasions I can remember that he ignored my 'no,' or pushed past clear barriers, or took advantage of me when I wasn't in my right mind - 3 of them took place AFTER he knew.

With life-long friends dropping like flies, a 21 year old 'boyfriend' my parents LET date me at 15-16 pestering me for my body, the aforementioned situationship with someone who would tell me regularly how hard I was to love, my family retreating into themselves in the face of my trauma - I was falling with no net at the bottom to catch me.

I crashed at the bottom of it all, I picked myself up, and have spent all the years since apologizing for walking with a figurative limp.

The 21 year-old was convinced I'd cheated on him or something. I don't remember, and don't care to. I broke up with him over the phone. The situationship became my boyfriend for the 100th time since we'd known each other, and he was horrible to me, and I took it, and I was grateful for it, because all I knew was that I was hard to love.

So, here comes October.

I came forward 14 years ago. I'm turning 30. And it all still hurts. And I still don't know how to get through October.

The tattoo in my mind, the one that bang-bang-bangs all day and night, telling me I'm not doing enough to justify being alive, that I'm a burden, that I need to do more and be more all the time - it has an edge of fear to it as we inch closer to October. As if I'm running out of time. As if I need to find forgiveness from someone, somehow, and fast, or I might die before I find it, and I'll pay some terrible cosmic price for lacking so much.

I hope that someday, someone throws a birthday party for me. It doesn't have to be a surprise, just - I can't do it myself. I can't. Maybe more to the point - I won't.

And I hope that when they do, if they ever do, in this daydream where anyone gives half a shit about my birthday - I wish they'd tell me they're proud of me. I wish they'd announce that it's not just my birthday, but the anniversary of the night I unveiled the truth and clawed my way to some happiness.

Maybe someday, there will be a celebration of me - and it won't be about telling my mother how brave and heroic she was for the terrifying birth she gave, and it won't be about me entertaining friends that would drop me as soon as I became inconvenient, and it won't be legions of people, but just a small group, just a handful of people that really respect me, that know me, that see me and understand me, and tell me I'm worth something still, even after they know it all.

Maybe someday, October won't be so full of loneliness, fear, or utter surety that I'm fundamentally a bad person destined to be abandoned.

Not this year, but maybe some year. Maybe some October.

My first visit to Philadelphia

It has been such a long time since I've blogged I feel like I have forgotton how to use Tumblr.

Anyway, I am in Philadelphia for the first time for the Premier League Summer series and I am I have been very touristy so far. I arrived yesterday afternoon and knowing that Fridays after 5pm are "pay what you like" at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, I decided to use that as a way to try to stay awake as long as possible.

I really wanted to see their collection of armour, I know they have a lot of Milanese stuff which is always beautiful. Unfortunatly the gallery was closed for renovation but I was thankful that a few pieces of armour and some weapons were on display, including a Viking sword from 850!

I mostly looked at their European collection which seemed to have a heavy ecclesiastical focus, lots of stained glass and bits of old buildings that have been lugged across the atlantic. The lady at the front desk reccomended I see Rubens' painting of Prometheus getting his liver eaten by an eagle and, while certainly not a cheery painting, I did like it a lot.

When I left I went out via the Rocky steps and statue. I have never actually seen the movies, but it seemed rude not to and of course some bloke was actually running up the steps as well.

I also explored the immediate area where I am staying - there is a lot of cool street art and murals nearby and the building next door is a trade union headquarters which makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

Today I went to the National Jewish Museum. I walked there via Chinatown (one of the biggest and busiest I have been to in the last few years). The museum is free and focuses specifically on the Jewish American experience and because of that focus I felt that I really learned a lot. I particularly enjoyed the section about Jewish pioneers going out west on their waggons in the 1800s and the section about the civil rights movements of the 20th century.

After a break for some lunch and a bit of planning for the next few days I took a walk up to the City Hall building which is one of the biggest I have ever seen. I really enjoyed it until I walked into the central courtyard which, though lovely, reminded me very strongly of the courtyard of the building I work in at home which slightly dampened my holiday mood. There were also loads of Chelsea fans milling around there ahead of their game against Brighton - all the more reason to move swiftly on. I went to Rittenhouse Square which is a park surrounded by cool old buildings and fancy shops and restaurants. My favourite thing was the frog sculpture, aptly named "Giant Frog".

I got sushi for dinner on the way home and now I am resting my aching feet ready for game day tomorrow. I am very much enjoying Philly so far.

EDIT: It looks like you can no longer caption pictures on Tumblr - I had added what I thought were captions to the image descriptions but you can't see them on the post, so:

Image 1: The trade union building next door to me is named after this guy

Image 3: The building opposite me has an entire mural wall

Image 4: The lifts at PMA were pretty impressive

Image 7: The view from the steps

Image 12: The Jewish Museum's street art contribution

Image 14: City Hall (stock photo) It was too big for me to get a photo without something obstructing the view and / or not getting it all in. Such an impressive building!

Image 15: Benjamin Franklin: Craftsman - huge sculpture near City Hall.

Humanity, is a very toxic batch, you see a huge problem about humanity is that both aspects of their morality are completely weaponized against life.

you got the luminous ones who are all about goodness and moral purity and moral righteousness they don't have to be a Christian or any way abrahamic they exist in all matters of different types of humans the luminous ones the incandescent ones, they are there are the Righteous atheists there was righteous psychiatrists there's even Law and Order which is based off of if something is a moral agent, although the wording is awkward it simply means something which can know good from bad that's how It define whether or not you are a person which can follow the law that's why animals don't get arrested they just get shot in the head.

Although, Fiction - This is a Good Example of Both Human Nature & Psychology !

You see the thing about Humanity, the ones that are luminous are the ones who are going to persecute everything in the fucking Universe because it doesn't live up to their expectations of what they see is right and wrong and they will use every type of terminology to shame those creatures they don't care if it's an alien they don't give a fuck if they if they act in a way was just not which according to humanity's idea of right and wrong violates their understanding of Good and Evil and Humanity will treat them as an enemy, while they themselves abused nature.

Nature's Nature's Omnipresent & So Is God !

. . . . . . . . .

you see the thing with humanity is that the ones that do not have this luminousness about them this radiant righteousness, those that are not going to get emotional over behaviors that they see is good or evil these are an even different version they're simply going to see them as a threat

@ Any One Reading !

Humanity can't stop fucking humanity and I'm not trying to fucking say, the rest of the universe is a wonderful place he meant humanities a piece of shit fucking people and I bet there's a lot of other fuckers out there in the universe of that way too there's a lot of asshole aliens out there just being the natural self but then again there are a lot of asshole animals that human beings are very sympathetic towards

Christians are already chomping at the bit to call every goddamn thing in existence the devil and they kind of can't hold back they call every alien and devil every animal devil, Any Every Denominations, of each other of different types of Christians they call devils they call the Jewish people devils they call the Muslims devils the Muslims called the Jews and the Christians devils the different versions of Muslims call each other devils Chris the abrahamic people are just dying to call each other devils everybody shaming everybody else and everybody else thinks that they're right !

🤦🏻‍♂️

I also love how every religion on the earth that's Abraham, always wants a fight over which religious most peaceful ! 😐 ! they all say that the religion of Peace when they cause almost all the fucking Wars on the goddamn planet.

Anyway, I'm going to get beyond that point !

&

so as you can see you human beings fucking suck you're going to go out in space and you're going to fucking kill everything you're going to be what you calling your language Genocidal Maniacs you're just going to go out there and you're going to be fucking Moral Nazis and you're going to tell everybody how they're supposed to think how it's supposed to act what's right what's wrong but I'm not going to say that they're are Aliens out there that deserve your God awfulness, Humanity, I'm just saying human beings are a Really Low, like you Highly emotional, irrationally Emotional Race or Clade !

human beings fucking suck and that's a major understatement, you're going to go by your culture by your Creed by your religion and you're going to judge everything based off of everything that makes up your Society you're going to judge their mind and see everything being a mental illness you're going to judge the soul you're going to see the most immoral fucking nature and you are going to judge them based off of their intelligence and you're going to call them racist and you're going to call them sexist and you're going to call them homophobic and you're just going to go out in the universe with a minigun for a mouth and you're just going to shame the shit out of everything out there attack everything out there and try to get everything to obey your human nature and your ideas of morality even if the UNIVERSE doesn't know what the fuck morality even is !

the human beings don't really worry themselves with that they just think that they're bigger than the fucking universe and if they get a big bad Ship they can go across any goddamn planet in the universe and they can dictate how life supposed to fucking be there and I can't wait until Humanity meets an actual Halo like real life game, for the Halo franchise !

and will they meet a bunch of aliens and call them devils and demons and then the aliens see the humans as devils and demons they wouldn't be wrong there !

and now we have real life version of The arbiter going against the war against humanity in both sides see each other's as devils and demons just like Jews Muslims and Christians also See Each Other As Demons !

🤣

So in the end humanity is just another piece of shit fucking people out of a Giant Universe full of piece of shit fucking Clade's, Because life is Unholy life & is Disgusting, There's Nothing Good about life and death is the only Mercy God ever gave us !

UNTIL, WE HAPPEN TO FUCKING REINCARNATE ! ! ! ! !

"The Divination." From Mark 13: 14-19.

We continue to develop the Gospel Torah using material from a very strange riddle Jesus provided.

Each of these Four Directions explain something about us, it is too late for them to explain something about Jesus or His Passion or Plight. If we believe He was the Word Made Flesh and I do, and impart my beliefs to you then we must pay stark attention to what this Good and Divine Being meant for us know.

Jesus Christ was the opposite of that which causes desolation, what He calls an abomination. An abomination might seem like its what's happening in America or Iran or Russia where shitty crummy people are arming themselves to take up petty brawls with their friends and neighbors but that is not what it is.

Abominations are the roots of evil in man residual of the animal self he is born with made intelligent and cunning and given a taste for power and weapons and money capable of providing it to him. It is the lust for power.

Power Jesus said instead is the dream, which like Christ Himself is the oppositional force to lust. Only the dream of cosmologic freedom can cause the Abomination, the Black Pillar of Corruption to lift and free mankind forever.

Beyond the personalities in whome the Black Pillar has sunk its prongs is what is called the standing. Humanity for example has taken a stand against Jewish people for reasons which no one, especially they completely understood. I have completely blinded mankind with reasons why this should not have begun and why it must stop. I quote the Acts of the Apostles which states the Mission of the Jewish people and those whom God sent them to serve:

2:5-11 - Now there were staying in Jerusalem Jews of deep faith from every nation of the world.

When they heard this sound a crowd quickly collected and were completely bewildered because each one of them heard these men speaking in his own language. They were absolutely amazed and said in their astonishment, "Listen, surely all these speakers are Galileans?

Then how does it happen that every single one of us can hear the particular language he has known from a child? There are Parthians, Medes and Elamites; there are men whose homes are in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Africa near Cyrene, as well as visitors from Rome!

There are Jews and proselytes, men from Crete and men from Arabia, yet we can all hear these men speaking of the magnificence of God in our native language."

Jews were told by God to create a Universal Immutible Law and breed it into mankind so his other practices of religion would always be ethical. All religious pursuits depend on the Law, and their apostates know this.

The opposite of this Hearing above is the Abomination and Christ and His Disciples came to proclaim and no one has listened. Let the readers now understand: any thoughts, trends, movements, politics, or politicians that do not tow the line to the letter of Jewish Law must be thrown out- they must not be allowed to spoil or embitter the milk of the future.

The rest will be explained in the Gematria following the Directions:

14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a] standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 

15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out.

 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!

 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again.

v. 14: Let those in Judea flee to the mountains. God's Glory is only found on the highest roads. They are the Ten Decrees. Down below these is the love of gold, AKA the Golden Calf which does not use a road as it cannot grow or be moved. It is worthless.

The Number is 9249, ט‎בד‎ט, Tuberculosis, "A slow death for which there is no cure and chokes out the breath of life God gave Adam."

=

This planet earth because you will not stand up against the Abomination.

v. 15: Let no one go down. Do you recall how those fucktards in the Republican Party told us climate change was not happening? When all the science said it was indeed happening? How they attempted to fling open the doors to Ukraine for the Russians? And now we are adding so much heat to the atmosphere we may never get it out, especially since the jets and rockets and missiles and anti-missiles are flying night and day. Humanity must be told its future depends on a permanent change of heart towards corrupt politicians and Christians who are determined to ride out a storm of their making at the expense of all that God made.

The Number is 4174, ד‎דאז‎ ‎ ‎ddaz, "open the double doors."

v. 16-17: Let no one go back. Once the army comes over the hill it is too late. The Republicans and their allies have failed in the human lives and they must be dealt with. Wherever these kind are anywhere in the world they must be dealt with. This is what they asked for when they decided to spit in the face of God and disobey this Torah.

The Number is 6645, ו‎ודה‎‎, "they admitted it."

v. 18-19: Pray. Pray we will act soon enough and do all that has to be done, winter is coming, and then....comes the summer and we are not at all prepared for next summer if hurricane season this year is any indication. The temperature has to come down, the heat has to leave and mankind needs to adjust as rapidly as possible to a new way of life. A new season will be too late. Now, Jesus says is always the season. There are no afterlives, second comings, or raptures, there are only the moments.

The Number is 12134, יבוגד "Do not disgrace yourselves or you will be betrayed. Rise above your nature and protect those who are weak."
