“never let them convince you broken glass or property damage is violence”

the pogrom that kickstarted the Holocaust is literally named after the broken glass from the destruction of Jewish businesses, synagogues, and homes

even outside of literal pogroms, smashing windows & defacing people’s property during a protest or riot comes with an implicit threat of violence in the same way that someone punching a hole in the wall or smashing a chair in the middle of an argument does.

it may be less violent than if they physically hit your body, but it is still threatening, and is often a precursor to more extreme actions that do cause physical harm.

The confidence with which any random lefty queer person nowadays will call the entire Jewish adult population of Israel "war criminals" in order to justify their insane position that 40% of the world's Jewish population can, should, and will be killed as a matter of liberation. Nazism is alive and well.

“i’m literally [x identity]” ok and? is what you have to say factually true? do other people of the same marginalized group feel similarly? or are you just proclaiming your identity because you think it’s a better way to say “shut up you have to listen to me”

Any conspiracy theory about people going missing in National Parks is automatically silly to me. Like "Why are National Parks such a hotbed of disappearances???" because they're full of idiots. You've got thousands of people who've never pissed outdoors in their life wandering around the woods/desert/mountain with zero experience and zero gear and zero understanding that this place can kill them. You don't see as many disappearances in wild areas because people don't go to them unless they have some background knowledge. Whereas you get tour buses full of old folks and suburban families shuttling people into National Parks 365 days a year. If you took the same amount of buffoons and dropped them in the actual wilderness the disappearances would be significantly higher than at the parks. Use your brain.

Right well see the thing is that if the antisemitism is just words on the internet and irony, then it's just a joke and you're overreacting if you say anything about it.

If the antisemitism is just words even if said to your face in person, then it's just words and you shouldn't let them rile you up.

If the antisemitism is just microaggressions and people taunting our kids in public schools, then it's just bullying and you should just ignore the bullies.

If the antisemitism is discrimination by not getting holidays off or having kashrus respected or having religious clothing banned, then it probably affects other religious groups just as much or more than us, so you should really be fighting for and centering them.

If the antisemitism is people using slurs or blood libel or other canards, it could be worse, you're just being a neurotic Jew; it's still just words, at the end of the day.

If the antisemitism is Jewish shops or establishments or synagogues being vandalized or threatened, then it's just a little broken glass and spray paint, it's not like anyone actually got hurt, y'know?

If the antisemitism is people shouting out genocidal rhetoric in their slogans and seig heiling in the streets at protests, well really what do you expect when Israel is committing a holocaust of their own?? (If the antisemitism is holocaust inversion then fuck you for trying to control the narrative; dontcha know lots of other people were targeted and killed by the Nazis too? How dare you try to monopolize this tragedy??)

If the antisemitism is violence-inciting rhetoric from religious or political leaders, that's just, like, free speech man.

If the antisemitism is stochastic terrorist shootings at synagogues and JCCs and day schools (etc.) then it's just lone wolf actors and it's part of a larger conversation on mental health and/or gun control; it's still too early to say we should address it on its own terms.

If the antisemitism is individual Jews being physically attacked for looking Jewish in public, that's really unfortunate but also are we sure they aren't Zionists? Because even if not they might have been asking for it by looking like Zionists.... and if they were, well can you really even call that antisemitism? Anyway it's not like it's a widespread problem and there are more pressing issues than antisemitism that we should address first.

If the antisemitism is widespread violence, discrimination, and an inability to safely express Jewish identity, then we should maybe issue some meaningless platitudes about how that's bad, but make sure to include how Islamophobia is also bad too even if it's not at all relevant to the conversation.

If the antisemitism is individual Jews being killed, it's still too early to intervene, because can we really call that systemic violence? We should be focusing on the groups experiencing systemic violence first.

If the antisemitism is pogroms, make sure to ask which side of the political aisle it's coming from first to determine whether it's worth using as additional tar for our enemies, and if it's not, best to sweep it under the rug in service of The Cause. But it's still not the right time to actually take a stand on it.

If the antisemitism is groups of Jews being attacked and killed, that's deeply unfortunate, but it still really can't be our priority when there's a genocide going on. (Also have you considered that maybe those groups of Jews deserved it or are lying?)

If the antisemitism is state-sponsored repression, expulsion, concentration camps, and/or attempted genocide, well, it's kinda too late to do much about it, you know? Why didn't you say something before now?? Why did you let it get this bad? No way can we do anything about it at this late stage; it's not worth risking our people over people who won't even speak up for themselves.

If the antisemitism is a successful genocide insofar as it seriously reduces the Jewish population for several generations, then really the question we should be asking ourselves is why didn't they stand up for themselves? Why didn't they fight back? Why did they go like sheep to the slaughter?

Could've sworn we were all aware the Iranian regime was bad. Could've sworn just a few years ago my dash was full of people posting that Iran in the 70s video and spreading awareness about women getting murdered. Now that the fight is with Jews it's fine though, right? The enemy of (((my enemy))) is my best friend or whatever?
