Any person who platforms Neturei Karta no longer gets the benefit of any of my doubts.

Naomi made this post today as a response to humansofny doing this.

they should do emmys for gifs

it really is something watching people get mad at jews for running their own emergency services programs when everyone also talks about how “community is resistance” and “the system will not take care of us, we have to take care of each other.”

it’s almost like people who have resisted assimilation and have a long history of survival are good at building community. imagine the knowledge you could gain if you viewed them as neighbors and potential allies and just frankly regular human beings instead of threats worthy of immediate mistrust and derision.

hey, so, humansofny decided to platform Neturei Karta today

caption sounds relatively reasonable, right?

except Neturei Karta is a tiny extremist group that is actively (among many other things): racist (underscore this repeatedly, their racism is extreme. they are the weirdos who demonize non-Jews and all other Jews for not following their doctrine. do you know about the Westboro Baptist Church? think similar here), misogynistic, homophobic, perpetuate both Holocaust denial and Holocaust excusal (they think those 6 million Jews deserved it as divine punishment), have been involved with terrorist members and terrorist groups, have been accused of severe child abuse and abuse of women - they are essentially a cult, and not recognized by any of the Jewish mainstream leaders or branches of Judaism (including the antizionist ones in the orthodox community).

them claiming that antisemitism is weaponized is farcical considering their opinions of any other Jewish people.

their opposition to the war, and even to “Zionism,” is a ruse. they have fundamentalist views that hinge upon their rejection of a Jewish state existing.

to call them a fringe is too generous, and yet for the past year and a half the internet has tokenized and glorified them because people don’t bother to research any of this. NK posts on here will get tens of thousands of notes, but having a huge account like humansofny give them attention is even more dangerous and unsettling. it’s not just the tokenization, it’s legitimizing a group that is using this war for their own malicious purposes and to do harm in the name of their extremism. they are morally repugnant, but hide behind the guise of what you see quoted above - and there’s nothing the Jewish community can do about it.

by all means, oppose the war, care about Palestinians, speak out against the government. you don’t even have to care about the global rise in antisemitism to understand why NK is an extremist group.

please don’t platform them.

Note: They were civilians and diplomats actively involved in peaceful diplomacy

If you are scrambling to find reasons to justify a man who came to murder Jews at a Jewish cultural night, you have been infected with actual, literal nazi ideology. I don't say this lightly.

Almost every Jewish person I know-including me-has attended a young professional night like the one the victims attended. This event was also focused on peace- one of the main discussions was about aid to Gaza.

The nazis didn't just blindly hate Jews- they came up with reasons to justify their systematic murder. They made speeches about how it would bring about more justice and equality in their society. People with nazi brain rot do this to varying extents with many different minorities- they perform mental gymnastics to argue they are actually doing something not only ok, but morally righteous.

Jews in general have not felt safe discussing the trauma of October 7th in many social justice circles. It was one of the worst tragedies for Jews in recent times, yet if we dare say anything, we are either met with awkwardness at best or wrongly accused of sucking Netanyahu's dick at worst. We have also heard deafening silence from activists who usually discuss all forms of injustices around the world. This is antisemitism, plain and simple.

The view of any mention of one peoples' injustice somehow negating another's has resulted in activists treating the war like a cage match between Jews and Arabs instead of the tragedy it is. The white and/or western guilt beneath the surface of this attitude helps no one.

The shooter didn't target his victims because they worked at the Israeli embassy. And even if he had, it would still have been equally wrong and antisemitic. People wanting to go into diplomatic work do not always share the viewpoints of their governments. The demonization of anything and anyone Israeli as somehow being equally as bad as their current government will continue to lead to violence unless people work to stamp it out. This will involve you having uncomfortable conversations with people- are you willing to?

Israel contains half the world's entire tiny Jewish population. Being against the Israeli government's atrocities against Palestinian civilians is perfectly fine- many Jews agree with you. However, you can't hate Israelis in general and believe they deserve death without being antisemitic.

To everyone who has ever declared they'd "punch a nazi" I ask- are you going to start speaking up when nazis claim to be leftists? Are you going to create a welcoming space for Jews to discuss their trauma? Are you going to stop pitting Arabs and Jews against each other and instead view Palestinians and Jews as two cousins whose futures are intertwined? Because right now I highly doubt many non-Jews are even going to talk about this attack.

your cry of "they're totally gay!!!" is valid and i support you. what i will not tolerate is you implying the actions they took could only be motivated by romantic attraction instead of a deep bond of friendship

"Director Phoebe Kemp said in a statement: “Twelfth Night already toys with gender and performance – it feels like Shakespeare wrote it for us. This reading is about joy, solidarity and showing what’s possible when trans and nonbinary artists are at the centre of the story.”"

You don’t have to lead the charge, or singlehandedly rally your community, or change your whole life. You can change the world for the better in small ways.

for example, my parents are your typical white suburban HOA couple. They Hate colorful houses and tattoos and loud music. They use pesticides and mow their lawns down to pristine rectangles, but recently , just by sending them posts about solarpunk living and attracting birds with native plants, they’ve planted native wildflowers, set up running water sources and bird feeders and squirrel feeders and hummingbird feeders and even let a few native weeds grow. You can MAKE A CHANGE! I promise!
