I want to be politically informed and educated but I also wanna have a good day and be in a good mood. Do you see my problem?

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???"

At this point with tumblr’s flagging system I’m surprised when I click on a post marked mature and it actually is mature content.

btw can we talk about how absolutely tragic it is that the first adult that susie truly feels comfortable and valued with is a man who is already dead. she only gets this brief time in the dark world to feel what its like to have a truly trusted adult in your life. someone who guides and protects you. someone she is genuinely comfortable laughing with and really being herself. my heart hurts so much for her.....

[agam-shel-barvadim]

it's even better when you try to ask Noelle about the code

Kris just manages to always not say what you meant for them to say

i really like these sort of malicious compliance moments from kris it's great

rhyming in English is genuenly so hard

like. in Hebrew we have so many words with similar suffixes. in English it almost feels like every word has its own, unique suffix sometimes

I think this is the most horrible music take I've ever seen:

[agam-shel-barvadim]

The whole point of a slur is to be a shorthand of “Not Us”, it’s meant to drive the point that there is Us and Them

by that logic, cis is a slur. neurotypical is a slur. white is a slur.

every definition of a group is gonna have people who are in it and people who are not, hello??

trans people use the word cis to describe the people that they are a minority in comparison to, who will never be able to understand their experience first-hand.

neurodivergent use the word cis to describe the people that they are a minority in comparison to, who will never be able to understand their experience first-hand.

Jewish people, whether you like it or not, need a word to describe the people that they are a minority in comparison to, who will never be able to understand our experience first-hand.

you speak a lot about Israel. i have personally very rarely heard the word "goy" used in the context of Israel. 90% of times i hear it used it's about goys in other places. why? because in an area where we are not a minority, the need of the word greatly decreases.

which is why it's not a slur.

the word is old and used to have an innocent definition

the definition hasn't changed in a millenia. die mad about it.

ok genuinely why are goyim always so offended at being called goyim. im not talking about when its used in an insulting sentence, because in that case youre just upset about being insulted and thats normal. i mean when its used as a neutral descriptor for someone who isnt jewish. the only explanation ive ever seen is people making up definitions of the word to make it seem derogatory.

why is it so upsetting to that jews have a word for people who arent jewish in our own language? do you..want to be jewish? does being left out of things make you sad because you never grew out of the childhood phase where everything is about you? or are you just looking for something to be offended about?

[agam-shel-barvadim]

Okay you guys.

IF YOU PRIMARILY DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH reply with what you mentally call it, if you have a nickname for it or something
