‘i can fix him’ ‘i can make him worse’ well I can pick him up like this.

The bizarre double standard with Russia and Israel keeps hitting me and it is super weird. Like, I'm not sure it even counts as a double standard because the circumstances are so different, but if it doesn't then that's because it's actually worse and more ridiculous than that even

the most anti-nazi thing you can do is to stand up for jews and stand against antisemitism.

I love you gay Jews. I love you sapphic Jews. I love you lesbian Jews. I love you mspec Jews. I love you trans Jews. I love you multigender Jews. I love you agender Jews. I love you nonbinary Jews. I love you ace Jews. I love you aro Jews. I love you polyam Jews. I love you Jews with contradictory labels. I love you queer Jews.

Sometimes it just hits me again that I am living and working next to an active and openly operating terrorist propaganda cell who's members have repeatedly been caught collaborating with Hamas to insight hatred for Jews in the US and not only is no one doing anything about this, they have mass public support throughout the country.

trying to do research about your jewish ancestors in ukraine really is like.

yes there was a synagogue in the town you are interested in. yes it stood there for at least a hundred years. yes they kept extensive records of their attendees' births, deaths and marriages. no you can't visit the synagogue. yes it was closed. and then burned. and then flooded.

you are the only one who remembers the synagogue.

yes there was a jewish cemetery that encompassed at least a century worth of deaths. no we don't know if that included your family. we don't know anything about it actually. no tombstones survived. it was abandoned after the synagogue was closed and burned and flooded. its overgrown with spiky bushes. the land is privatized and will not be given back to any potential future synagogue to restore. there's a factory on it!

you're the only one who remembers the cemetery.

yes there was a census at the perfect time for your family to have been included in it with all their names and locations. no the municipality didn't keep those records. no there is no mention of your family in the archives. did we mention that we rely on church and temple records for our archives? the temples have to not be closed and burned and flooded for us to access these records.

you are the only one who remembers the census.

yes the nazis did murder hundreds of people in this town. yes we have a detailed description of exactly how they did it. yes we are still finding bones sticking out of the mass graves and everything. no we don't have records of these people. no we don't have a database for that research. yes we know that other towns do. no we're not planning on making one. we do have a plaque with three whole words on it!

you are the only one who remembers your family.

I am getting so frustrated with how people are talking about the Druze. Do I trust Netanyahu to help in the most effective way, no, do I think the response is more about the opportunity to make a buffer state then help the Druze, yes. Do I think the other option no one should do anything is good, hell no. I’m sorry there is literally no one else giving a fuck about this.

I keep hearing worries how Israel strike is destabilizing the country and not worries about the Druze. A lot of suggestions I’m seeing from other people is the only reason this is happening is because Al-Sharaa is too weak to control the country and this makes it worse. We just need to wait for it to stabilize and then everything will be solved. And I’m sorry what you think no one should intervene in the massacres and it’s just going to work out.

No one gives a fuck about ethnic and religious minorities in the Middle East do they. I think they just want no one to ever get involved and for them to “work out” on their own so they never have to think of them.

in an alternate timeline ireland could've joined israel and india in the "we recently gained independence from the british let's be besties" club but noooo somehow their hatred of jews is stronger than their hatred of britain

If you're against Antisemitism but leave out Israeli Jews and just focus on Diaspora Jews, you aren't against Antisemitism, you're just looking for acceptable Jews to target.
