Biden isn't committing a genocide he's not an Israeli leader. You're either overestimating his power in this situation or you somehow think there's an illuminati thing going on which is actual flat-out alt right psycho shit.

Being wrong for no reason isn't going to help Palestine.

It actually has nothing to do with the Illuminati and you’d know that if you understood the US’s role in the colonization of Palestine.

The entire reason israel was formed was so the British could start another colony in the Middle East in the attempt to make a grab at oil, and both the US and France agreed this was a good ideas as it gave them access to the oil as well, which is were the half assed excuse of ‘making it up to the Jewish population’ came from. (I hate that I have to clarify this but this is not at all against the idea of making it up to that population after the awful atrocities that took place, these large governments just used it as an excuse. They had no real desire to ‘make it up’ to those who are Jewish.)

The US became a strong standing ally to the Israeli government over the years, despite the slaughter that has been taking place in Gaza since the beginning. The US is unlikely to gain as much access to oil if the Palestinian people take back their get so the US has no reason to stop the genocide because they actively benifit from it. And if you aren’t against something you're for it.

But that’s just the US government as a whole, what about Biden himself? Well, Israel has been given 3.3 billion dollars in the past year alone, most of the money goes to military expenses. Biden could cut this aid but refuses to. Also, most of the weapons being used by the Israeli army are American weapons, which again, Biden could easily stop but chooses not too. Finally, many Americans have gone over to fight on the side of Israel, including active duty members. Biden could make this a punishable offense seeing as he is THE HEAD IF THE US MILITARY. The president is in charge of all of that and he chooses to not even condemn Israel.

You say being ‘wrong’ isn’t helping Palestine, but here the thing. 1, I’m not wrong about this. And 2, it’s hurting the Palestinian people more to actively ignore how America is an active member in their destruction, colonization, and oppression.

Finally, why do you feel the need to be on anon? I’m confident enough in my stance to be open on my blog about it, why do you feel the need to hide behind the anon button? I’d be happy to have a full conversation on the topic, but instead I’m left to just hope you see this. And I really hope you do as I think you are simply miss-informed on what is really taking place.

I'm studying climate change and ecological impact of it at university but thanks, I'll be sure to tell my professors they also know nothing of the environment.

Bruh, I came to call out the antisemetism because it was genuinely there and tried to be respectful in calling it out. However, that doesn't erase the FACT that Israel has committed a lot of crimes against Palestinians and that Zionism is problematic. I tried to explain a common misconception and lie (80-90% of Jews? Are you kidding me? You really think almost every Jew is a Zionist when they're out here on the streets protesting? Oh right, they're not Jews to you all never mind! Because you all can decide based on political ideology what is and isn't) but all I got was immediately "lalala can't beat you over the fact I any a dni test to prove what you are". Okay pay for it then, tf? You want to know if I have enough ancestry to be allowed to talk about research I conduct? Like I don't need to know what my bloodline is and this is exactly what I mean when I say "well if you think that's Nazi shit then look in the mirror pal" because it's literally what you demand of me; proof of my heritage. Also no, religion can't just be neatly placed into boxes of "well you're not in an organisation" bruh do I HAVE to be in some group to believe something? Like?? These opinions are my own, and those of Jews I know. If you want to say "but you're the wrong kind of Jew and be sure you're not in any official organisation you can't exist" that's between you and them. I agree with some of the stuff broadly from different groups, and disagree with other things. Which is normal in any religion. My parents are Christian, but they don't follow a particularly sect because they broadly agree or disagree with various points. I broadly agree and disagree with various parts of various different religions because I want to be historically accurate. And when I look at the history this is what I get.

Also, bad faith? Look in the mirror. You just called me saying "well Zionists have a historic record of murdering Jews and Israel has committed atrocities and it's been recorded for a long period of time" and claimed that's blood libel. Listen to that, read it out and think for five seconds. You're saying Jews can't be treated as people, held accountable for an ideology that has ZERO to do with actual Jewishness, then turn around and straight up make shit up and think I'd actually believe you. Do I look that naive? When you go and say "this thing about adults who are far right neo Nazis, now advocating for white supremacist ideals and killing people" and say that is l comparable to the lie of "Jews steal children and sacrifice them", I'm going to stare at you like you're goddamn insane. Especially after you just made up the whole thing about Palestinians (which ones, the Jews?? The Muslims?? The Christians??) apparently kill Jewish children regularly. That's what blood libel actually is, saying "these people deserve death because they're rabid and kill children". Like what you just said about Palestinians, and again aren't saying which ones. Do you mean the Jewish ones? The Christians? The Muslims? The ones with ties back to Judea or the North African? Which race do you want to label as stealing children? Which religion? Be specific in your hate at least.

But yeah, nah, I guess maybe other person has a point. Zionists are hateful and obviously can't tolerate shit from anyone fuck immigrants, fuck indigenous Australians and fuck Jews who disagree. I'll be sure to let my friends know. Oh and maybe I should let history itself know since, again, this is something you can literally find recorded, but that's just history books lying to you I guess? Since that's the assumption here I suppose.

Anyway, if you hate me that much, you could have blocked. I am not responsible for a public post of yours that spreads misinformation. The OG one I agree with, I came on here saying I agree with it. After that? It's about Zionism, not Judaism, so don't you come on here pretending I hate anyone besides those who disregard human life such as those who advocate for a colonial entity that has a history of massacres much too similar to the ones people like me faced from Australians.

dear jumblr: STOP LOOKING DOWN ON AND CONDESCENDING TO CONVERTS.

this includes saying “ofc converts don’t notice antisemitism.” or “they’re a convert, they don’t know any better.”

i really don’t think a lot of you realize how many converts don’t reveal they are converts because of this kind of behavior. my own patrilineal convert parent refuses to publicly, not because they are excluded, but because of the condescension. the way converts are basically patted on the head even if they have ancestry, are patrilineal, were raised in a jewish environment, etc. or have none of these at all.

if converts are equals to you, treat them that way. most gerim learned more during their process than many of us learn in hebrew school, let alone what most secular “born” jews learn throughout their lives. so yes, converts DO spot antisemitism. they DO know things. and there isn’t an excuse for them to be bigoted, to spread lies about our people, or to side with our enemies or to otherwise harm their community. just like there isn’t an excuse for any other jew to do so.

you are not being open minded or accepting thinking and talking this way. you are actually engaging in exclusion and separation. you’re looking down on converts instead of treating them like they have equal standing.

if a convert doesnt know something or does display bad behavior? call them in instead of making excuses for them. treat them like equals, because that is what they are.
