I can’t believe I have to say this but being Ashkenazi and being a zionist are not interchangeable terms.

Zionism is an *ideology* hence how there are more Christian Zionists than there are Jews on this planet

Being Ashkenazi is being part of an ETHNIC GROUP

A *MARGINALISED* ethnic group

*I* am Ashkenazi and I’m not a fucking zionist

So if you’re being like fuck zionism, as you should, but then continue that sentence with ALL ASHKENAZIS ARE DOING THIS, THEY ARE A GENOCIDAL RACE babe that’s antisemitism.

Just fyi

[beansintrenchcoats]

leave antisemitism out of your activism.

hello, this is going to be a rant, because honestly i am absolutely furious and absolutely DONE.

I'm going to preface this by saying: Yes, I believe that you should support Palestine unequivocally. Yes, you should take a firm fucking stand against Zionism. Yes, I agree, we should all agree that the state of Israel is a coloniser project that should never have been created in the first place. Yes, the people of Palestine have a right to resist and no, Israel is not in ANY way in the right for the GENOCIDE that has been steadily worsening over the last 75 years.

I am also going to clarify that I also have a lot of Jewish heritage, including multiple Holocaust survivors, and despite my parents not raising me religious, I'm currently trying to reconnect with it as when my grandparents fled Germany in the 30s they were forced to leave their culture behind and assimilate into Christian Britain. I also live in an incredibly Jewish neighbourhood, celebrate Jewish holidays with my family (aunts, uncles and cousins) and have many close friends who are Jewish. I have recently realised that I am at least somewhat religious; I identify strongly with my Judaism and with my Jewish community and family, all of whom have been incredibly helpful and welcoming as I try and figure out my identity.

So yeah - when I see antisemitism, I notice it, and it fucking hurts.

So please. For the love of all things you hold dear, whichever God you may pray to. Do not let your criticism of Israel turn into a hatred of Jews.

I was watching an instagram reel of a teenage, non-zionist Jewish creator explaining how to pronounce a name in Hebrew, and I made the mistake of opening the comments. I expected to see people wishing her Shabbat Shalom and putting in future requests.

I wasn't expecting: - N4zi salutes - People chanting 'HH' (I'm sure we can all figure out this acronym, but I don't feel comfortable writing it, and I think my post would get taken down if I did.) - '6 Million wasn't enough' - People telling her to go back to the GAS CHAMBERS - People saying that 'this was why Auschw1tz was needed' - People saying that she should be r***d - People calling her a child r**ist - The conspiracy theories that Jewish people a) dig tunnels under New York, b) are inhuman and c) eat babies. - People calling her a mass murderer - People calling her vermin ...and other general comments about why people support the literal Holocaust!

So let me just say this very fucking clearly.

If part of your 'activism' is just jew-hating, you aren't a freedom fighter. You aren't a good person. You can't prevent one genocide by condoning another. Israel's actions are deplorable, despicable, vile - every fucking word you could think of. But that doesn't make it okay to say that the killing of six million Jews - which occurred before the state of Israel even existed - was a good thing, and it DEFINITELY doesn't make it okay to say that it should happen again. Harassing innocent Jewish people isn't the flex you think it is.

And honestly, even if a Jewish person is a Zionist, it's still not okay to be a literal n4zi to them! Yes, tell them off, yell at them, say fuck you - but don't bring their judaism into it. A Jewish Zionist holds the same views as a Christian Zionist, who is the same as an Atheist Zionist: their identity is not the thing to be criticising, much less in a way that demeans their very humanity and spreads conspiracy theories that have been the cause of our oppression for millennia.

Antisemitism isn't okay. Sending death and r*** threats to Jewish creators isn't okay. Praising Hitler isn't okay. If anything, it's feeding into the utterly untrue Israel-funded narrative that any critique of Israel is a critique of Jewish identity. Don't resort to dehumanisation in the fight for humanity. It hurts us, and it helps nobody.

PS: do not start a fight in my comment section or in my DMs, I do not have the energy to deal with Zionists, not do I have the energy to deal with anti-semites, I'm simply getting this off my chest since I'm exhausted of seeing people say my grandmother shouldn't have survived the Holocaust. Night.

[beansintrenchcoats]

i desperately want a rollator but my school is so inaccessible that it would actually end up making my mobility WORSE what the fuck

[beansintrenchcoats]

why the FUCK is it so normalised for people to say they would rather be dead than disabled.

i saw someone post about how they lost their legs from a su1c1de attempt and dear lord the comments. "at that point I'd rather die" "god I'd rather just kms than have that happen to me" "my worst fear is failing and ending up crippled" "if I knew I was gonna have a life as shit as that i'd just try again" Thank you for letting us know that you consider our existence so intolerable that you would rather be dead than one of us.

living as a disabled person sucks. we know. WE KNOW THAT BETTER THAN ANYONE!! But to say that you would rather kill yourself than have to use a wheelchair? fuck you. you REEK of ableism and it's gross.

[beansintrenchcoats]

disabled people are worth whatever cost or resources is needed to keep them alive. disabled people are worth it even if they don't live long. they're worth it even if they will need extra support and resources for every day of their life. they're worth it even if they spend all they life indoors. none of it is wasted. none of it is in vain. time, effort, money, resources spent on a life are not wasted. these things have served their purpose. the joy of someone's existence is not undermined by not lasting forever. there's no meaningful point, some threshold where you can say "okay this is enough. after that it's not worth it." it's always worth it.
