Okay, here's the post that's been brewing.

Amidst all the Jew hatred, all the attacks, all the murders, this is still one of the things that will stick with me. I will never forget the picture of the sign in DC when Netanyahu was speaking. Big protest. Horrible triangle symbols (used by Hamas to point out where to attack), river to the sea bs, and a guy with a sign that said "Allah is gathering the Zionists for the Final Solution."

THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE THERE. AND YET HE WAS THERE. Nobody was kicking him out! All these "I'm not antisemitic, I'm anti-Zionist" idiots, let this guy with this sign stay for their cause.

This is what is meant by "if there's one nazi at your table," every person at that protest that ignored this guy was saying that they approved. He was not kicked out of the nazi bar protest.

It's really just.... idk the right word to encapsulate the emotion, but I guess bone tired will do, to see a lot of right wing dog whistles be used by the left, especially by the same "leftists" who will go "why are people becoming more radicalized by the right????"

Like bestie you are also being radicalized!!!!!!

Phrases like "well x was promised to be 3,000 years ago" and "well there must be a reason jews were kicked out of so many countries" have all historically been considered right wing dog whistles. They have been literally documented as being mainly used by neo nazis and white supremists.

Those phrases don't become more left wing because you use them. You become more right wing by literally falling for right wing propaganda

i went to the future and i have bad news for everyone who ever said “i’m on the right side of history” re: the way history remembered them

yeah cool you’re an american jew that doesn’t think antisemitism is a thing anymore. anyway did you know that david gerbi has been trying restore synagogues and cemeteries in libya to try to facilitate the return of libyan jews but non jewish libyans tried to lynch him when he went to libya.

[mifletzet]

Oh so we are straight up using dog whistles for Jews now???

I used to respect you.

[mifletzet]

love that jews can openly worry about their safety because a known antisemite was elected to lead a city with a large jewish population and a leftist’s first thoughts are 1.) “so you hate Muslims?” and 2.) “so you wanted a rapist to win?” and if you don’t see what’s wrong with that, there’s something deeply wrong with you.

every israeli who has been protesting bibi and likud and fighting for the hostages and every gazan who has been protesting hamas and the war and demanding to be allowed to live is braver than any edgy american college kid screaming themselves hoarse in solidarity with islamofascist terrorists for six hundred fucking days and gunning people down in the nation's capital

It's literally an illegal phrase in several countries, classified as hate-speech.

But, oh kay gurl... 🤦‍♂️

Article 1

And in Germany

It's literally classified as hate-speech

And then we have:

I read once that this rise of antisemitism is gentiles finally getting their revenge for being "forced" to (pretend) to care about Jews (via "caring" about the holocaust) for the past half century and the more I see the more I think that individual was right

Teaching Jewish kids is so amazing and I wouldn't give it up for the world. But it's also heartbreaking at times. Two of my students said today that their synagogues had always marched in their local pride parade, but they aren't doing it anymore. At one, someone threatened to throw a bomb at them. At the other, the people organizing it said they weren't welcome back. The world has no right to make Jewish children go through this. They deserve to be taken care of and know that they are valued as they are

Pride Mezuzahs

If I forgot your flag, tell me. Happy pride to the Jews in my phone.

It was a long time coming: An incomprehensive list of similarities between antizionism and transphobia:

An obsession with deadnames: Transphobes tend to insist on calling trans people by the name they had before they transitioned. Antizionists tend to insist on calling Jewish people who Hebrewfied their name or just changed their name to a Hebrew one, by their old name.

"If you want your own representation so badly, why don't you make it yourself?" *representation exists* "omg why do you have to shove it into our faces all the time??"

"One of the good ones", tokenization on the greater scale of hate - Queerphobes will look for transphobic LGB people to use as tokens, and nothing more. Similarly, antisemites will look for antizionist Jews to use as tokens. And nothing more.

"Your existence doesn't add up with my beliefs, so clearly you just don't exist / you're not who you claim you are"

"Actually zionism is the real antisemitism slash the reason antisemitism exists" / "Actually trans people are the ones giving a bad name to queer people"

"They are coming for us": "Trans people want to turn other people" / "Zionists want to take over the world"

Pretending to care about academic sources but actually disregarding most studies made (studies showing Jewish indiginity over the levant / studies showing the results of transgender healthcare)

"Why would you need to be defended? You are already the most protected group on the planet!"

Obviously a lot of Nazi background for both rethorics.

Pretending to care about children, oh but not THOSE children: Transphobes basic off of "protect the children" because "trans people are trying to turn out children trans", ignoring how untreated dysphoria leads to higher suicide rates among trans youth, or how a trans kid is literally murdered for being trans; Antizionists claiming to care about kids dying but cheering on when Jewish kids are being fucking murdered.

Refusing to listen to the targetted group about their own fucking experience (because clearly they're lying to achieve some secret agenda).

This might be a small thing but demonization of a flag to extreme extents: "The star of david is problematic because it appears on Israel's flag" / being "suspicious" of anything that's colored using the same scheme as the trans flag (or any queer flag in this case)

Hating on an identity trait and/or claiming it's not actually an identity trait, thinking that claiming enough that people don't exist will make it true ("Israel doesn't exist" / "there are only two genders")

Treating an identity trait as an ideology (being Israeli equating to an "evil" ideology / being trans equating to an "evil" ideology)

This one is pretty universal but telling people to kill themselves

Telling people their very existence actively causes harm

Being nosy and not minding their own fucking buisness (antizionists actively looking for posts made by Jews/Israelis to send them hate, transphobes actively looking for posts made by trans people to send them hate).

"Why make it your entire personality???"

you lot are welcome to add more

It's actually INFURIATING when people cry about Israeli "apartheid" when *I'm* the one banned from certain areas my family used to live in, when Muslim countries literally ban any non-Muslims from driving to certain areas, when pretty much anyone is welcome in Israel if they don't threaten to murder Jews.

It’s summer and that means the kids are going to camp! Last week the kids were at gymnastics camp at the place they take lessons. This week they’re at kosher culinary camp at the local Chabad.

The difference could not be more stark.

Last week, I drove up outside the front doors for pick up and drop off, shouted their first names through the window of my car, and either received a thumbs up at drop off, or had the kids walk out unaccompanied at pick up.

This week, I had to walk them inside (adults have to present ID to be allowed in the building) and check them in with two separate sets of adults. I had to present ID again (separately from getting into the building) to be allowed to pick them up. If someone who is not their legal guardian is going to pick them up, paperwork needs to be filled out in advance.

Last week, the only people outside the building were a couple of teenagers in orange vests to make sure the littlest of kids got inside the building ok.

This week, the only people outside the building were security guards with walkie talkies on one hip and very obvious pistols on the other.

My kids are signed up for three different Jewish camps this summer. All three of them have sent emails outlining the security measures in place to protect the children. No details, because the more people that know the details, the easier it is for someone with ill intent to discover and subvert them, but I know that there will be armed security personnel at all three camps and they will be coming with on field trips. I know that staff at all three camps have been conducting safety drills in the weeks leading up to camp, and I know that all three camps are partnered with local and federal law enforcement to stay up to date on any threats or recommended security changes.

I have never received information like this from any non-Jewish camp. I have received information like this from every Jewish camp.

This is what Jews are talking about when we say that antisemitism impacts the way we live our lives even when we are not being directly targeted by antisemitism. Summer camps shouldn’t have to hire armed guards to keep kids safe. Going to camp at the JCC should not put you at greater risk for violence than going to camp at the YMCA. Requesting that non-Jews help us live in a world where that’s true is not a ridiculous thing to ask.

And before anyone tries to say “Oh just because you feel like you’re not safe that doesn’t mean you’re actually not safe,” I’d like to point out two things. The first is that the Chabad my kids were at today has received multiple bomb threats in the last couple of years. We feel like we’re not safe because people have made it clear that they would like to attack us. We are, in fact, actually not safe.

And the second is that even if we were actually safe, and all the people out there who were saying that (((Zionist))) institutions should be attacked were just running their mouths and were not going to act on it (disproven by recent (and not recent) violent attacks, but we’ll accept the premise for the sake of argument), isn’t it pretty messed up that antisemitic actions have made Jews feel like this is necessary? Like, if one person in a couple was constantly so verbally threatening to their partner that the partner was 1) fearful for their safety and 2) felt it necessary to reach out to law enforcement, we would rightfully call that abuse. Why can we easily recognize that behavior as being immoral in that scenario, but find it acceptable in the local/national/fucking global treatment of Jews?

I love you, Israelis in my phone. Stay safe.

Good friend asked me how I felt about Mamdani today and I was like…. uhm. I think his domestic policy is great! his foreign policy should be irrelevant to a race for a local municipal office but it really isn’t huh???

[mifletzet]

people who spent the past number of years calling for global intifada and the destruction of israel now want to call themselves “anti-war” and clutch their pearls at the threat of global conflict. like what did you think you were advocating for this whole time lol
