I am so god damned tired. I am tired of those who rightfully consider me to be an ally not to be an ally to me. 

I see your silence. 

I am tired of anti-semites who saw this tragedy and immediately turn the conversation to Israel/Palestine. 

I am tired of the rhetoric from the right AND the left.

I am tired of looking to other Jews who are exhausted and tired but never surprised. Of being reminded that in 2,000 years we have always died alone, and we will always die alone. 

I hate when the hope that we will always have some allies is proven wrong.

I am tired of seeing people deny it was a hate crime every single time.

I am tired of seeing no one but the Jewish community speaking out against anti-semitism. 

I am tired, and I am angry.

any white at a protest who tries to go against police and deliberately provoke a response from them is not to be trusted and does not have the safety of black and brown people in mind.

a person of color: racism–

a white european, materializing out of nowhere: actually i’m not from america so i don’t get this. can someone explain this? race is actually a US-centric concept. it was invented in the US. i need you to break this down for me because here in europe we don’t judge people by race.

Her mother Cheryl, 66, remains behind, a diminutive woman with dark hair pulled up in a bun. She chooses her words carefully. “It’s never left her. Every day, she lives it,” she says. “There were times when she would call me and his – he would be on a billboard or whatever, and she would just completely disintegrate. Having to walk into a store to get a pint of milk, and you’ve got his picture everywhere. (…) He’s the soccer god that everybody thinks is just perfect and flawless. (…) And she can’t even get out of bed some days.” Cheryl Mayorga shakes her head. “It’s just wrong. We’re behind her 100 percent.”

I believe Kathryn Mayorga. Do you?

i realize it’s hard but “some people join the military to go to uni/get a job/bc they’re poor??” is a fucked up mentality and must be let go. i realize people think the blame should be on The State and not the individual soldiers “who were trapped and brainwashed” and they think they’re being nuanced and compassionate but please realize what you’re saying; (1) you are implying that the poverty of those soldiers is enough to absolve them of partaking in the literal destabilization of nations – you’d never use this excuse to forgive brown/muslim/foreign soldiers that were invading *your* neighbourhood & killing your fam so how dare you do the opposite? (2) you are (whether you like it or not) validating the decision of other poor people to go and kill brown people (who are also poor lmao) overseas so they can go to University of Arizona or whatever the fuck. 

and please realize how insulting it is to poor brown people for you to go around saying “they have no way out!! they have no choice!! they were brainwashed!!” statistically the military has always been rich, white and very educated. anti-military people have always been poor, racialized and subject to the same propaganda as these “brainwashed” soldiers. don’t use us as your talking point to protect foreign invaders of our own countries lmao.  finally: repentant soldiers exist. and they agree with me. so who are you really protecting?
