Only someone who doesn’t speak a lick of Hebrew can say such nonsense

Been reading David Baddiel’s book “Jews Don’t Count” and this section made me laugh and think of you.

“And also: Israelis aren’t very Jewish anyway, as far as my relationship with Jewishness is concerned. They’re too macho, too ripped and aggressive and confident. As I say of them—or, to be precise, Lenny, a Jewish-American taxi driver character I invented for my film The Infidel, says of them—“Jews without angst, without guilt. So not really Jews at all.””

We're the true Hebrews!

If the internet is the one we all are we are FUCKED

Years ago I was listening to a Danish podcast with a guy who isn’t super bright but loves listening to people who are experts talk about their field.

In one episode he invited a former guest back who was a professor in microbiology because the host found out he was super interested in near death experiences in his free time.

It was a very interesting episode because it wasn’t his field but he had read every single study on the subject and listened to every story he could find and he approached it with the mind of a scientist. He desperately wanted to conduct his own studies but was well aware that he couldn’t go around almost-killing people in controlled environments so had considered almost-killing himself in a controlled environment over and over but was told that wouldn’t be legal either which was why he had settled for just collecting data.

They talked about what people say they experienced in cases where it could be proven that they actually died, usually on operation tables, and how they all say they felt a sense of wonderful oneness, like returning to the source, how all living things are connected and that they got the sense that we are here to learn, that you can’t waste your life because it’s all learning.

Then the host said “From what you’re saying I get the impression we are like feelers or tentacles from some creature on the other side who are poking us into this existence to experience it, like we are all limbs of the same creature who wants to learn as much as possible?”

And the other guy went “You know what? That sounds like a perfectly valid interpretation of the data. I love it!”

And the host continued “Maybe that’s why we created the internet? Because we long to connect and become one again but on this side our experiences are too different and it doesn’t really work when we don’t understand we’re all one? But we still have that longing?”

“My god man! You’re blowing my mind!”

That episode was just filled to the brim with inspiration for fictional stories of every genre.

That’s not the point you dumb fuck, the point is that Hamas actively puts its people in harm’s way (using them as human shields, building tunnels under their houses, planting bombs in buildings) or actively killing them (like when they try to get food) and Israel gets blamed for it by organizations that keep cowardly covering for them and providing pricks like you with material to join the pile-on.

And you have the utter gall to twist my words into ‘I don’t like these sources’ (no, I said they were demonstrably unreliable) but handwave Hamas leadership’s own words as ‘Israeli think tank’? Fuck you, there is no low you ‘people’ won’t stoop to motte-and-bailey style to hypocritically deprive Jews of the right to self-defence. Eat shit and rot in isolation, slimeball.

There's a christian charity shop around here that's been flying the flag of Ukraine and the flag of Israel on its flagpoles for like a year now. They've recently gotten "this shop supports genocide" sprayed on their wall, and there was a news article about how they're saddened by the overwhelming amount of hate and vandalism that they have faced for reasons completely beyond their comprehension. Like of course they know which flag has caused this reaction in people, but they certainly are utterly baffled and Big Teary Bambi Eyes Sad And Confused about why people don't like that.

I generally don’t trust these organizations, not after all the times they’ve been caught with their pants down, and I trust them even less now that they won’t even report on Hamas stealing supplies to price gouge them and shooting civilians trying to get them (leading them to the brink of civil war with clan organizations there, something anyone seriously following current events in Gaza ought to know about). I trust you even less, because you’re being blatantly and stupidly deceptive with how you characterize the links I provided: that is video evidence of Hamas themselves saying ‘we don’t give a fuck about civlians dying, and in fact it helps us’.

So fuck you, too. This is why Jewish people don’t trust you rotten Westerners, and no-one should trust you specifically, you slimy cuntwart.

Yeah, that’s kinda why they’re trying to kill Hamas lol

Judging by the overwhelming majority of how Westerners use the term ‘Zionism’, he probably knew a lot less. Anyone who says it’s the ideology of establishing a Jewish expansionist ethnostate, for example, should be shut down and never listened to.

About five years ago there used to be some dude in my hometown who consistently kept putting up nazi propaganda stickers, so I made it my job to take them down. It was a hobby for a while, I'd take long walks, with a scraper in my backpack, and kept an eye on every trash can, streetlamp, and wall that accumulated stickers, learning to spot these specific stickers. I even went to their website (which is still up, apparently, but I'm not guiding traffic their way) to see if they had any logos that I would have missed.

This one time I was scraping one sticker off a lamp post - one of their big standard ones, with a fist punching a star of david and the text "against zionism!" - this white guy who wasn't finnish actually walked up to me, and asked in awkward english what exactly I'm doing. And I explained I'm removing these fucking stickers that some other guy keeps putting up. I've never seen the guy but I hate seeing his shit, and I've heard it through the grapevine that he's sworn to kill the guy who keeps taking his stickers down.

He asked me if I knew what zionism is, and to be entirely perfectly honest, no I did not. So he started telling me about all the things that are wrong in the state of Israel, and how being against zionism isn't automatically antisemitism, and I can't just assume that anyone criticising Israel or zionism is a nazi. The semantics of propaganda are insidious and it's easy to be led astray.

I let him talk for long enough to understand what he wanted to say and to believe that he really meant what he was saying. Once we had established that, I told him that while he may know more about the situation in Israel than I do, I know more about my own people than he does. And the finnish national socialists who use this logo right here do not give a shit about the people of Palestine. I'm not taking these things down because I'd think Israel should be an ethnostate. I'm taking them down because I think Finland should not be one.

How? It’s anti-imperialist, be it Russian or Arab.

This quote coming from someone as comically thin-skinned as Cleese is hilarious

[svartikotturinn]

The problem is not that there is no difference but that people can and do disguise the former as the latter (deliberately or because their prejudice is unexamined), and complaining about the latter (even if it is just the latter) when it hits too close to home can easily get you labelled a nitpicky, humourless stick-in-the-mud.

i feel like ppl don't understand that there's a difference between genuinely holding prejudiced beliefs against certain groups and making fun of those beliefs. that's what me and my friend group of different ethnicities and origins do when we are "jokingly" racist, you are effectively taking away the power of those beliefs by mocking them and treated it like the retarded ideology it is. it's really not that hard to understand.

They most definitely do not, but that is the least of society's concern imo the most heartbreaking part is that ppl genuinely cannot separate A Word from A Situation (or vice versa) and when you mix in self righteous narcissism you are creating the most obnoxious, insufferable manchild that we all have to deal with.

When Superman was created, by two Jews, everyone understood Palestine was the lamd of the Jews. That’s why they kept telling then to go back there, you rancid little imperialist bootlicker.

Shoutout to Superman (2025) for making it incredibly fucking clear that Superman is for good people. He’s hope. He’s love. He’s supportive. He’s an immigrant. He supports Palestine. He loves animals. He protects children.

The movie is a light. If you’ve been feeling really depressed about the world lately I’d highly suggest watching Superman.

The first fucking opinion she expresses is wrong, and she proceeds to make no acknowledgement of how Gazans, not just Hamas actually think of ‘The Great Crossing’ (hint: if they think it was bad, it’s not for moral concerns), which was the reason for the ‘mood’ was ‘existential panic; kill or be killed’. She thinks the war is some kind of overblown, irrational reaction when it is the only reasonable response to literal genocidal actions. Not fighting a war with collateral damage, actual genocidal intent. And, of course, she didn’t mention a lot of those dead baby photos are actually from Syria or other places, or straight-up photoshopped or AI-manipulated.

This is the exact kind of shit that has made me seriously disillusioned with her. She still has some valuable insights, but she reads too little, misinterprets the shit out of what she reads, and lets her biases run wild, and it’s been so for years now.

Also, she didn’t ‘post occasionally’ about this, she posted semi-regularly (not something she would do much for Ukraine, or at all for the Uyghurs, or any other conflict really), and she put Shawn’s shitty video on the topic on blast. She didn’t donate ‘quietly’, she asked her followers on Twitter to direct her to an appropriate charity, and then picked one that was basically a Hamas front.

I don’t trust her. Not anymore.

genuinely kudos to contra for being the only breadtuber that is capable of being normal abt jews and being able to acknowledge antisemitism. my queen

i could do without the "antisemitism only empowers rightwing zionists!" bc i feel as though its kind of a backwards way of convincing ppl to care abt it but at the very least she acknowledges that antisemitism is real and that the fear jews are feeling is valid. is the bar in hell? perhaps. but idc at this point

I just came across something that I think complicates the part about interpersonal stuff:

God prevents the destruction of a pagan temple because the person running it feeds travellers. That’s a pretty clear indication of priorities on his part. But then he says the Israelites treating severe interpresonal transgressions with much gravity without regard to offences against the divine to be a punishable act.

So, God is free to overlook offences towards Him, and is inclined to do so, but humans are not…? In other words, He might lead a person down the path of compassionate idolatry, but a human may not…?

Halachic question: should you try to proselytize an Israelite non-believer if it’s likely that if you convince them there’s a god, they’ll become idolators? Would such a faith motivating them to perform more interpersonal commandments (בֵּין אָדָם לַחֲבֵרוֹ) tip the scale? Conversely, should you try to dissuade an idolator their gods are false if it would make them worse towards others?

Well, that's more of a question towards a rabbi, I'm but a villager frm the mountains xD but I'll try to answer my best.

If the person in question is jewish, typically the outlook is "love the person hate the act" (more commonly known as "love the sinner hate the sin"). So in many regards you don't come to persuade anybody, you know at heart that god will accept the person at hand once they initiate the interaction with the divine. And our role is to simply provide the best known methods to do it with accordance to the jewish law. You come with peace, solace and good will and sometimes you don't even initiate the interaction with the person, but the other way around. Usually once you become more connected to god you also make sure to not hurt the people around you. Of course there are exceptions (such as lgbt and zealots) but generally many people I've met who became religious say that they also became better people overall.

If the person is a gentile - well so long as he's not an active raging antisemite, or he isn't trying to convert jews to whatever - we don't really care theologically wise. Judaism as a whole isn't an apostle-driven religion, it's a religious ethnicity that predates the ceparation between political entities and divine powers. We don't really prosletize or convert others, especially since the last reform some 1800 years ago (you can thank Raban Gamliel II for that).

So you’re a Jew now?

I like that you reclaim the word "retard" because so many Nazis use it and it is nice to see a Jew take that word and call Nazis retarded. So empowering 💙

Also, Jews are not a monolith: there are Israeli atheists, and r/exjew exists.

What zero Yaron Yad‘an does to a mf

a) there’s not mainstream criticism of the Talmud like there is with the Christian Bible or Quran because the Talmud isn’t mainstream like those books are.

Christians are 32% of the world population, Muslims are 26%, and Jews are only 0.2%—not all of whom are even religious, and even fewer who have actually read the Talmud in its entirety.

“how many white people follow that religion” my ass. ain’t even that many of us period.

b) bro the talmud is like 2.5 million words long and looks like this

who tf is going out of their way to put themselves through reading a super niche, dense, 2.5 million wordcount legal text that’s formatted like the ancient precursor to House of Leaves just to criticize a teeny tiny little religious minority??

anybody who hates Jews that much isn’t going to take that much time out of their schedule to read what actual Jews have to say about Judaism when they could just make up some salacious shit & repost Nazi memes instead
