*through gritted teeth* the world is GOOD. people are kind. Humans are NOT inheritly selfish. you will make it through this year. recovery is possible. people you don't know yet will love you. You are going to do things you can't even imagine right now. You are going to read a rlly good book. You are going to eat some rlly good food. You are going to experience joy again. Things can get better. Situations can change. You can choose to be kinder. The world can change for the better.

it's really not that hard to support palestinians and support jewish people at the same time, you're just weak

I think it’s funny how I’ll start typing a post, and i just pause halfway through, think about it for a second, and just be like “You know what Hashem will take care of it” and delete the draft and go on with my day. I literally never post because of it

Not naming names nor am I Jewish, I am however an ally to the Jewish people. You know better, check yourselves.

you know what? I’ll say it. Hi

[trying-to-jew]

Hey, Jumblr? I'm gonna need all y'all to stop using ableist slurs against people you don't like. Immediately.

Yes, even if they're acting stupid. Even if they're actively antisemitic. They are not the only one you hurt by calling them ableist slurs (if you even hurt them at all, which is unlikely if they don't value your opinion). By engaging in this behavior, you also tell anyone with a disability that you can't be trusted. That if you decide you disagree with them, they could also be a target for ableist cruelty.

I am physically and mentally disabled, and I have already discovered that I can't trust about half of you to have my back. A lot like queer Jews have found that they will not be supported by other queer folks if they're too Jewish/the wrong kind of Jewish, I have found that I will not be supported by you if I'm too disabled/the wrong kind of disabled. It makes one of the only spaces that was safe for me as a queer Jew actively unsafe as a disabled person. I sincerely doubt I'm the only one with this experience.

Do better.

no one is being silent about gaza. no one is ignoring palestine. quite literally everyone and everything is about palestine now. if i see one more self proclaimed leftist cry about how No One Cares About Palestine, i will commit arson. it is the only thing you people ever talk about - often at the expense of others. everyone everywhere is constantly talking about palestine.

"this person is a genocidal zionist!!!" and it's just some jewish guy saying october 7th was bad (it is)

[trying-to-jew]

you can't be talking like that goy baby

[trying-to-jew]

Hello goyische leftist reading this. Please say "I condemn online harassment against Jews" without mentioning Zionism or Israel.

as a non-jewish gal y'all can never make me feel bad for defending, believing, standing up for jewish women. sorry my principles still manage to be stronger than your vile antisemitic hypocritical rape apologia ❤️

people keep saying “staying silent about [x issue] is a privilege” but in my experience, the people who can least afford to speak their mind without the risk of being met with life-altering harm—up to and including deadly violence—are not “privileged” people.

[trying-to-jew]

we are not reviving the r slur. if you hear someone say it tell them to cut that shit out. it’s not funny or edgy and we need to make people embarrassed and uncomfortable saying it

I'm not exactly sure what the term for this type of "damned if you don't, damned if you do" fallacy, but it's pretty much antisemitism 101. It basically comes down to starting from the conclusion (Jews/Israel are evil) and then giving whatever explanation of the facts you need to make your forgone conclusion look true.

As Arthur Conan Doyle put it, "twisting facts to fit theories rather than theories to fit facts."

(Here's an article about the study referenced in the second to last reblog. https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/124674)

I think circular reasoning is the closest to what you're talking about. Circular reasoning is when the premises are supported by the conclusion and the conclusion is supposed by the premises (technically speaking an example that is like "jews are evil because they do xyz, xyz is evil because jews do it and they're evil so it must be" would be a more classic use of the fallacy but i think this fits too.)
