We live in a world where Jews are pretending to be gentiles (out of fear) and gentiles are pretending to be Jews (out of malice) and you want me to believe all the Jews you know are against Zionism? Aight.

If you can't see a post about antisemitism and like/reblog it without:

1) Brining up Israel where it wasn't mentioned

2) Checking the blog to make sure op is "good enough" for you to share the post on it

or 3) Asking op if they're okay with genocide

YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

Stop doing this. It's really fucking easy not to do any of these and yet I am still seeing this shit multiple times a week from leftist and "bigots dni" blogs. Do better.

Jewish folks need you guys to do better.

being friendly with my rabbi and the shul president and them being on the news ab antisemitism and social media is so funny like… that’s oomf!!

We can talk about how there’s definitely a racism/Islamaphobia issue in a lot of Jewish communities without…*flips through notebook* literal saying Jewish people should assimilate and give up their Jewishness (ie cultural genocide)

These antisemites are getting way too comfortable and I don’t like it

One day, western leftists will need to come to terms with the fact that Arab and Islamic colonization very much did and still does exist and that the negative impacts are still felt by ethnic groups that have been and still are violently colonized and brutalized by that colonial power.

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

[citrus-on-jumblr]

“Israelis are stealing culture through food!” you say, as you order Chipotle and Panda Express.

“We need to decolonize Israel!” you cry, while purposefully ignoring the history of the Levant while you sit on stolen land.

“Jesus was Palestinian!” you shout, ignoring the fact that he was historically by every record of his life a Jewish man born in Bethlehem in the Kingdom of Judea.

“All Jews are European,” you inform someone on twitter, while Sephardi, Mizrahi, and a good chunk of Ashkenazi exist.

“Hanukkah is a Zionist holiday,” you comment on a Jewish person’s tiktok, while millions of Jews across the world, Zionist, Orthodox, non-practicing, Reform, and many more celebrate.

“Liberation by any means necessary,” you intone wisely, as Jewish women are called liars even in death. Jewish children, entire families eradicated in the single largest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust.

You are a hypocrite.

Calling for a ceasefire after celebrating October 7th in the streets. Chanting for an intifada when either you have no fucking clue what it actually means or have made peace with all jews dying.

Celebrating Hamas and trusting their news outlets that have been proven tule and time again to lie about the events in Gaza, while cheering for the death of IDF soldiers and calling video evidence, interviews, and detailed information about the moves and actions of the IDF propaganda.

Denying that jewish women were raped as you repost an infographic about believing all women.

Writing fucking fanfiction about a hostage and the man that kidnapped her while blatantly ignoring the accounts of the people who were taken hostage. Those who haven’t been returned, the women with blood running from between their legs.

I never expected this as a leftist. I should have, it was stupid of me not to. But as I sat and watched people I loved and trusted churn out the most antisemitic shit i’ve ever seen and call it antizionism, tell me that I don’t get to mourn, that my religion is inherently evil, I realized that it’s been there all along.

This is why at the end of this, you won’t have any Jewish friends. We’ve seen what you think about us.

And if Jews have one thing, it’s a long fucking memory.

Israel is a problematic state. Stop confusing valid criticisms of the country with anti-semitism.

Stop pretending antisemitism is criticism of Israel.

Denying Israel the right to exist is not “criticism”.

Denying Jews the right to their homeland is not “criticism”.

Accusing Israel of blood libels and of being the ‘New Nazis’, and pretending Israel is responsible for every evil in the world, is antisemitism, not ‘criticism’.

Israel has its problems, just like every other country.  It is also under constant threat of annihilation, like most other countries aren’t.

You want to criticize Israel’s government?  Go right ahead.  Israelis love to criticize their government.

You want to criticize their policies?  Great.  

You want to ‘criticize’ the right of Jews to self-determination?  the right to establish a Jewish state in the one place where Jews have lived continuously for over 3000 years?  That’s not ‘criticism’.  That’s antisemitism.

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?

A lot of people have reblogged posts of mine going "You can be anti-israel and pro-palestine without being antisemitic" and I don't know that I agree with that statement for two reasons:

a) it's incredibly and dangerously reductive and makes no distinction between the governments and the people, which is part of the problem we're facing right now; and

b) a lot of people are actually failing at doing this but either don't realize it or don't want to admit it

Just saying "Well I'm not antisemitic, I don't have a problem with Jews" isn't sufficient - just like with any kind of bigotry, you have to recognize, if not that you *are* bigoted in a certain way (because of the nature of the society and culture around you), that you at least *have the potential* to be so bigoted, and be able to recognize how that bigotry manifests itself.

A lot of people think that just substituting "Israelis" or "Zionists" for "Jews" is sufficient distinction to show they aren't antisemitic. And unfortunately it's not.

Why do antisemites like, ONLY know about bagels. It’s so fucking funny like even assuming it’s bc they’re American, how do you grow up in America and never learn about another Jewish food?? It’s not even the most iconographically Jewish bread. I assume it’s bc they’re trying to reduce Jewish identity to something they see as “white” or inherently western but it just comes off like they’ve never heard of challah before. Can’t keep bagels’ name out of their mouth. Bagels bagels bagels. Starting to think they actually long deeply for the bagel. I would not be surprised if they wanted to fuck the bagel. There’s probably an antisemite out there who thinks Jews invented bagels to make (white) men think about hole every time they walked past an Einstein Bros

"I'm so scared WW3 is literally happening 😭😭😭🥀🥀🥀 I don't want to get bombed I don't want to get drafted-" does your house or immediate area have a bomb shelter? ever been woken up at 4AM by a missile alarm? no? then shut the fuck up.

Happy Pride to all my lgbtq Jews. Especially the ones who like me lost formally beloved queer spaces and your sense of queer community has been irrevocably damaged in the wake of horrific antisemtism. I’m here, I see you, and I love you.

I will never feel safe at a goyische pride event ever again. And I will never attend one again. I will only attend pride events held by other queer Jews.

You are not indigenous to anywhere, subhuman jew parasite.
