#i am just a jewish girl

[seokgyuu]

Hi. I don’t know if you know but there are a few blogs that blocked you saying you are a zionist for supporting Israel.

ahh, so that’s what that was about! well, i’m not a zionist, to be clear 😭 i’m just a jew who is worried about antisemitism rising in anti-zionist movements! but i do NOT!!!!!!! support the israeli government in any shape or form. i feel like it’s sadly a great misconception that just because someone is jewish and worried about the jewish people, they support what israel does. i do not support a genocide on innocent people and whoever believes that and blocks me for it surely doesn’t know me, so that’s their loss tbh!!! but uh, thanks for telling me ig?

Just to add to my ongoing saga about the antisemitism from students at my school, apparently at least one of them is calling me a k*** behind my back because one girl that likes me told me...

Additionally, my principal does basically nothing. Time to go to the union!

My instagram experience is so unique bc the reels in my explore page are all about abrahamic religions, and the posts are filled with those yandere anime girl posts. What is happening.

I just. My brain just fucking broke.

Israel didn't exist in biblical times!!!

Do you know who didn't exist in biblical times? JESUS! "Biblical times" is an actual fucking period in history, which corresponds to the Iron Age through the Persian period, in which Jesus was absolutely not a fucking part of! This period ended like 500 years before he was born! He lived in the the Roman fucking Period you absolute fucking moron! (and he was a fucking Jew you fucking antisemitic piece of shit, and we're not going to talk about what ELSE didn't exist in Jesus's or Biblical times, I've talked about that enough).

And just like the fucking insult.... Israel didn't exists?? The Kingdom of Israel didn't exist??? The Kingdom of Israel that is literally mentioned in both the fucking bible and extra-biblical texts??? The Kingdom of Israel that kept the southern Levant safe for decades from the Assyrian invasion and colonization through one of the greatest and most incredible coalitions in fucking history??? The Kingdom of Israel that led a multi cultured and prosperous (though quite tumultuous, ain't gonna lie) society for like three hundred years before being annihilated by Mesopotamian imperialism??? That Israel didn't exist???

Literally the only thing I see in my head right now is the Omride dynasty just looking at this post with the utmost disgust, like how fucking dare you??!?

pov: you (the poster of the original twitt and the creator of the fucking Jesus fanart it was responding to) are Shalmanseser III, literally trying to erase Levantine cultures (Jews) from history, about to get your ass whipped by the greatest coalition in history (depressed Jewish archaeologists who fucking had enough)

Why not just eat chocolate? Nobody will know and not eating things you like because of a religion seems kind of cruel? Obviously I get the pork thing - even though that stems from the time Piggys were gross and ate poop - but to not eat chocolate because men 3,000 ish years ago said 'Only eat simple bread and starve yourself" said so?

It just seems so wrong 😕 Religion should be about you and your god, not what people a long time ago said you can or can't do. I have this problem in my own faith. By rights I think it's a period of not indulgence is here or coming shortly. Yet I'm pretty sure main event guy wouldn't want people starving and whipping themselves over him. 🙄

80% of religions these days it going by what some man wrote or decreed, rather than about god and that is a giant same.

Please eat your eggs if you want. You shouldn't have to restrict yourself on word of what a group of men who lived 3000 years ago said.

there are so many things wrong with this ask but you sound so genuine and earnest and im just so fucking pissed right now that i have no choice but to answer asks in this horrible awful no good very bad new post format that im gonna make this brief.

1- i know i dont talk about it much anymore but i have my masters in jewish education and up until last year was working as a bar/bat mitzvah teacher and torah reader in my synagogue for the last like million years of my life. religion has never felt like a burden to me.

2- not eating piggies although its plausible does not necessarily come from the fact that theyre in close contact with poop. doesnt say anything about that in the biblical texts. keeping kosher is also not the same as the dietary restrictions for passover and the reasons for them are not necessarily related.

3 - not eating certain things (chametz - not "simple bread," its more complicated) on passover is not about starving yourself and its not about atonement (that holiday is in the fall), its about remembering important events in jewish history and keeping the sense memory of those events and lessons alive for thousands of years.

4- what religion is asking you to whip and starve yourself for god? sounds like a cult or a dan brown novel tbh

5- judaism is definitely based on shit some men wrote, but it most certainly was nowhere close to one man. we're talking lots and lots of very opinionated and highly intelligent and insightful men (also women if you know where to look, also some dumbass men) whose interpretations and decisions of law regarding how their society and religion could and should function without a central community or authority on earth were passed through millions of hands and thousands of more opinions through the centuries and enforced to many degrees in both extremes only to be falling apart in the last century or so thanks to inescapable global factors that have rolled through our disparate communities like indy's boulder on a rampage.

wait a minute i said this would be brief. fuck.

anywaynot eating my cadbury creme eggs is def not a burden i just enjoy complaining its probably all for the best.

also i hope this didnt come off rude i understand where you're coming from but i also invite you to do a little googling about judaism and the holiday of passover. happy holidays! ✡️🫓🍷

“No way.”

“I swear.”

“Kosher bacon- beef.”

“Not pork.”

“I am so Jewish.”

I sat next to the protest today.

I wrote fan-fiction about two gay jewish dads raising children to the play list of the chant- "No peace on stolen land!" on an American college campus. It isn't a name brand one either, nor does it have any legitimate ties to Israel. The anger is just there- it has rotten these future doctors, nurses, teachers, and members of society.

I don't even know what to call their demonstration- it was a tizzy of a Jew hatred affair. At points, there were empathetic statements about Gazans and their suffering. Then outright support of Hamas and violent resistance against all colonizers. Then this bizarre fixation on antisemitism while explaining the globalists are behind everything.

"Antisemitism doesn't exist. Not in the modern day," A professor gloated over a microphone in front of the library. "It's a weaponized concept, that's prevents us from getting actual places- ignore anyone who tells you otherwise."

"How can we be antisemitic?" A pasty white girl wearing a red Jordanian keffiyeh gloats five minutes later. "Palestinians are the actual semites."

"there is only one solution!" The crowd of over 50 students and faculty cried, over and over.

"Been there, done that," I thought, then added a reference to a mezuza in the fourth paragraph.

Two other Jewish students passed where I was parked out, hunching and trying to be as innocuous as possible. We laughed together at my predicament, where I am willingly hearing this bullshit and feeling so amused by this.

"Am I crazy? For sitting here?" I asked them. My friends shook their heads.

"We did the same last week- it's an amazing experience, isn't it?”

We all cackled hysterically again. They left to study for finals. Two minutes later, I learned from the current speaker that “Zionism” is behind everything bad in this world.

Forty-five minutes in, a boy I recognized joined me on my lonely bench. He came from a very secular Jewish family and had joined Hillel recently to learn more about his culture. His first Seder was two nights ago.

He sat next to me, heavy like the weight of the world was on his shoulders. There was just this despondent look on his face. I couldn’t describe it anyone else, but just sheer hopelessness personified.

“They hate us. I can’t believe how much they hate us.” He said in greeting.

And for the first time all day, I had no snarky response or glib. All I could do was stare out into the crowd, and sigh.
