For a friend who wanted links to some posts I made about antisemitism, allyship, and how to support Palestine without being antisemitic—which is both possible and easy to do!

How do you know if you’re antisemitic?

How to be a good ally for Jewish people. I responded to a wonderful ask from @faggotry-enjoyer about how to be a better ally and to discuss Israel/Palestine with people who are inclined to distrust Jews due to unexamined antisemitism.

Important post about the dangers faced by Jews as an extreme minority. There are good examples in the reblogs and replies and tags—both of great ways for non-Jews to provide support as well as if antisemites denying their own antisemitism. Therese even one example of ways Jews can and do disagree with each other while remaining respectful without delving into antisemitism OR Islamophobia OR denying the rights and dignity of Palestinians. Jews can do this and so can non-Jews. But that can’t happen if people hate us too much to listen to anything we have to say.

The emotional toll of antisemitism on Jewish people.

Example of the death threats we get that are designed to make us look like bad guys.

If Jews can learn about the Holocaust in detail before we even reach the age of ten, you can and should too.

Don’t trust people who rely on bad sources. People do make genuine mistakes. Here’s an example of bad faith link sharing. Especially when Reblogging things. Even I don’t have time to always check every source in a post. Also, it’s possible that a link seemed legitimate when it was originally posted but the source is either no longer trustworthy or the OP got better at assessing sources. If an error in their original sourcing is pointed out, they should correct it publicly. If they are sharing a link as an OP they should always take time to be as responsible as possible.

There are plenty more posts under my #leftist antisemitism tag to look into about a variety of ways that antisemitism manifests in left wing circles.

Allies, please reblog with any posts you think relevant for a someone new to dismantling their antisemitism.

wistfully remembering how people (pretended they) cared about antisemitism when it was primarily coming from the right. like there are pre-2023 posts with tens of thousands of notes about antisemitism. now any mention of the existence of antisemitism (when its worse than it ever was) doesn’t breach containment outside of jewish circles. its almost funny how quickly people stopped caring when it was inconvenient.

Not-a-Cat-

While it kind of looks like a huge cat, closer inspection reveals it is definitely something else.

By increasing the contrast between light and dark, the Not-a-Cat confuses its prey.

I'm happy to announce that mine and Aseel Ali Saleh's film "The Curious Case of the Crimson Curves" is now available to watch online.

you can watch it on YouTube or on Vimeo.

"On a stormy night, a mysterious red lady bursts into Private Dick's office, enticing him to enter a cliché film noir plot that constantly repeats itself. Private will have to face his scorned rival, Big Candy, to get to the bottom of this mystery"

The way some people, mostly westerners, who claim to support Palestine have acted about the Israeli hostages is honestly one of the most insane things I've ever seen. Going out of the way to tear down their posters, openly mocking their families for grieving or worrying they were being abused, joking that they probably wished they could stay for the great cuisine, and even writing fanfiction about them secretly being in love with their kidnappers? I can't think of any similar situations that have produced this kind of deranged reaction, not on this scale at least.

It's fair to argue Palestinians have been *radicalized* due to decades of oppression by Israel and that them expressing contempt for Israelis held hostage is reasonable given that reality. But 99.9% of the people doing these things are not Palestinian, nor are they oppressed. Most of them didn't even care about this conflict before October.
