#israel is a safe haven

[oliviartist]

hiii i hope you are well. i saw you are pro Israel i was just wondering if you tell us a little bit about your views on this? 👀🫶🏼

I’m not going to pretend that I know everything but what I do know is this

Jews are native to Israel

Jews have the right to gods land

Jews are God’s chosen people

Israel is a safe haven for people who suffer persecution

Israel is the only Jewish state

God has given the land to Jews

our Messiah is Jewish

our Messiahs mother was Jewish

our messiahs earthly father was Jewish

I have never met a Christian who has denied these things above

are there Christians who will be ignorant to Gods words? Yes there always will be but as Jesus has said himself

To the people who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free John8:31-32

what needs to happen is Jews and Christians need to put aside there differences put aside our hate and stand up together for what is right and what is right is Israel

[bottlepiecemuses]

You are just a piece of shit who seems to think Israel is innocent and the victim

Laughable - truly can't comprehend how you survived without getting decked once in your pathetic life. Living is a privilege you don't deserve.

Why are dna Tests in Israel court mandated?

Why were Ethiopian Jews sterilised?

Why were Yemeni Jewish babies stolen from their families and put into white European ones? Heard it still seems to be an issue today in Israhells society

Why have Muslims, Christians and Jews lived well in peace next to each other before the zionists came? Explain! Or are you just going to tell me to shut the fuck up? Tell me I’m a bigot and insult me some more without stating any facts?

You have been so brainwashed 😂

Disgusting uneducated moron

Can’t comprehend how you can look at yourself in the mirror without going crazy - don’t worry ugliness and arrogance are the only things you seem to have.

You lack a will to live and therefore have no inner peace

But thanks to you I could let out my anger for a bit

Also got anon because crazy bitches like you don’t stop at when they are blocked either

Go kill some more kids and drink tea and post some picture of yourself crying about how hard it is to live during war times💀 while you sit in you Cheeto dusted crusty dusty ass bed

I hope your soul never finds any rest and you will be hurt over and over again 🥰

I have never seen so much Pro-pallywood misinformation. First off Ethiopians were sterilized by a group who doesn't represent Israeli policy as a whole. Also DNA tests aren't mandated. Also learn something about Dhimmitude before you spout shit that they all lived in harmony because second class status was the norm for Jews and Christians. Anyone saying they lived in harmony could say the same thing about Jim Crow south which is everyone lived in harmony unless they knew their place but even that didn't prevent it because there were anti-Jewish riots before Israel was reformed. No you kool aid drinkers are far up the propaganda that you really hate anyone who doesn't see you bigotry as valid. Yemeni babies were not stolen by Israel and that plays ironically into old anti-semitic tropes. We don't get off on babies getting killed but you doofuses so ignore children on the Israel side dying by palestine's hand and want to still depict them as underdog victims.

[smile-files]

as a jew, seeing what all of these israeli leaders have said is sickening. as a jew, anti-palestinian rhetoric is sickening. as a jew, zionism is sickening.

how dare my people -- a people who've been massacred, ethnically cleansed, dehumanized, forcibly removed, and discriminated on religious grounds for their entire existence -- do the same to another people? how dare we turn our backs on them, when they suffer like we have?

i understand that so much of us have been fed zionist propaganda our entire lives; the same happened to me. i understand the desire for a homeland where we don't have to fear antisemitism at every turn; i want that too. but it doesn't take much thought to understand that a homeland for us, which actively oppresses and kills another people, is antithetical to what we want.

if you, as a member of an oppressed group, believe that your freedom and safety can only exist when you oppress another group, you are acting no better than the people who oppressed you. such a belief is horrible, and cynical, and wrong.

as a jew, i want jewish people to be happy and safe and connected to our heritage; as a jew, i also want other peoples to be happy and safe and connected to their heritage.

don't call the palestinians "amalek". you are turning us into amalek.

doesn't the torah tell us to have empathy for those beaten down by the world? doesn't the torah tell us to make the world a better place? doesn't the torah tell us to free people of their shackles and help them escape oppression?

i have so many israeli aunts and uncles and cousins; i fear for their safety. of course, my parents do as well. i'm worried that this fear, in addition to anything they were led to believe earlier in life, is placing my parents even deeper in the zionist camp. but it doesn't have to be this way! my relatives' safety does not rely on the continued oppression of gaza!

it is easy to be uninformed, to be swayed by propaganda, to blindly hope that israel was founded in good faith -- but we can't lie to ourselves. a world steeped in senseless hatred (which we are now promoting!) could never be a home for us. none of us are free, liberated, equal, until all of us are.

as a jew, to other jews, i implore that we stand with our palestinian siblings. i want us all to be happy and safe. i want us all to live in harmony -- in the holy land and around the world. that is what we all deserve. <3

[broodpuff]

my twitter is nothing but gaza carnage and i hope it makes every one of my followers uncomfortable because thats the reality of what’s going on and they need to realize action must be taken. i’ll stop retweeting and talking about it when there’s nothing to talk about, when the genocide is stopped.

[nappingpaperclip]

Modern Zionism is an Israeli Nationalist movement. The arguments & defenses that Zionists use to justify the horrific actions taken by the state of Israel become much more clear when you start understanding it this way.

[killapunk]

why do stories that go out of their way to be inclusive or have messages of hope and refuge and whatever always have to be made by terfs and zionists and people staying "neutral" on genocide? like does money truly move you that bad

[snekdood]

zionists are not wanted

cool, who asked

also, gotta be a little more specific for me here- which type of zionism do you dislike?

also also, obligatory: what should half of the jewish population on earth do and where should they go instead? tell me what you, oh so intelligent and all-knowing anon, would do if you became president of the world and had control over everything?

[incorrectbatfam]

You're literally gay??? And it's pride month??? And Israel's our only safe haven in that region???

There's no pride in genocide

[psychotrenny]

And people keep trying to justify Israel's existence on the basis that it is somehow a safe place for the preservation of Jewish people and their culture and not only is that an awful argument for establishing a Settler Colonist Apartheid State but it's not even true. Like the state is politically and economically dominated by Ashkenazi Jews from Northern Europe and their descendants. While not as severely mistreated as Palestinians, there is still a significant disparity between the European and Non-European Jews in terms of income and education. Non-European Jews are still regularly subject to interpersonal bigotry (hell earlier this year there was a news story about a viral video where Ashkenazi girls in a Purim made a skit mocking the Mizrahi) and Israel government policies towards non-Ashkenazi migrants have done severe damage to their social structure and cultural traditions. Not to mention the fact that the whole reason why many Mizrahi migrated in the first place was to escape the violence caused by European Jews committing atrocities in their name, tearing communities apart as neighbours that had peacefully co-existed for centuries found themselves on opposite sides of this new ethno-religious conflict

There have even been attempts in Israeli history at the forceful assimilation or even biological reduction of non-European Jews; the kidnapping and adoption of Yemeni Jewish children in the 1950s is significant example of the former while the forced contraception of Beta Israeli (Ethiopean Jewish migrants) with the explicit intention of reducing their population's birth rate is an example of the latter. There's also very clear favouritism when it comes to recent converts; white Afrikaner converts are given the right of Aliyah while Nigerian Igbos are not. Like the fact of the matter is that Israel's fundamental nature is as a European Settler Colony, incredibly racist not only towards the indigenous Palestinians but the many Non-European Jews it claims to represent. It's an outpost of Western Imperialism, not a haven for the Jewish people. If it was ever meant to be the latter than it has failed miserably

In one case, Daniel, a Palestinian man who worked for the Catholic church, was threatened by an individual on Facebook who said he had evidence of his homosexuality. “we know that you are a f* you disgrace Christianity and Palestinians with your disgusting nature and I will expose you for what you really are,” the user wrote. “I’m gonna tell the whole world that you are gay and that you are a danger to the children of this society. you are disgusting and you will never get anywhere because I will stop you,” he added. Daniel said the only way someone could have known of his sexuality is if they had monitored his search history. (Drop Site News has changed his name to protect him from retaliation.)

Over the decades, numerous investigations have exposed how Israeli intelligence targets LGBTQ+ people. In 2013, Vice published an investigation detailing how the Palestinian Authority’s preventative security forces, under the direction of the IDF, had isolated gay Palestinians from their communities, kept files on them, and exploited them for intelligence. In 2015, news reports revealed that a surveillance technology company run by a former Unit 8200 official had helped provide Uganda with malware allegedly used against LGBTQ+ activists.

remember tho that israel is a safe haven for the gays

Transcript & Alt ID: Poster labeled 'Israeli Propaganda' that details various types of propaganda tactics, each with a color coordinated label.

Greenwashing - Israel appeals to environmentalism in order to deflect attention from or mask its harmful practices. EX: JNF tree-planting campaigns of invasive species.

Redwashing - Israel appeals to the image of progressive politics on order to deflect attention from its harmful practices. EX: Historic exclusion of non-Jewish workers from unions

Bluewahing - Israel uses humanitarian aid campaigns in order to deflect attention from its harmful practices. EX: 'Water infrastructure upgrades' that divert 6x more water to settlers than to Palestinians

Pinkwashing - Israel appeals to LGBTQ+ rights in order to deflect attention from its harmful practices. EX: blackmailing queer Palestinians into being informants under the threat of being outed to their communities. (transcriber's note: I don't feel this is a good example of pinkwashing, I think that mentioning that Israel has a habit of promoting itself as a safe haven for LGBT+ folks, and promoting Palestine solely as homophobic, in order to justify their actions is a more appropriate example)

Purplewashing - Israel appeals to women's rights and feminism in order to deflect attention from its harmful ideals. EX: Israeli Occupation Force drafts woman to military service by law to participate in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

Faithwashing - Israel appeals to interfaith dialogue in order to deflect attention from its harmful practices. EX: conflating Zionism and Judaism in order to accuse all criticism of Zionism as anti-semitic.

It has been six months since Israel launched its brutal offensive on Palestine’s Gaza, killing more than 33,000 Palestinians — mostly women and children — and driving nearly 2 million more from their homes, in what humanitarian agencies have called a “betrayal of humanity.”

As Israeli troops withdraw from Khan Younis to prepare for a military offensive on Rafah, the last remaining safe haven for those who were forced out from their homes, the people of Gaza brace for a projected famine that could see as many as 70% of Gaza's population facing catastrophic conditions in the next 4 months.

A few days ago, in my quest to fight the antisemitism that lifted its head around the world following the massacre of October 7th, I stumbled upon a clip from a UN assembly where the speaker asked a simple question-

Dear Arab world, where are your Jews?

A lot of people think that Israeli roots come from Europe exclusively. But in fact, Jewish people were hunted in all corners of this world. In Europe, of course, but also in Asia, Africa and other places all over the planet.

My grandma is an Iraqi Jew. Iraqi Jewish community is one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world, being the direct descendants of the Babylonian exile Jews, so ancient it is an exile mentioned in the Bible.

Recent studies, in which DNA retrieved from canaanite burial lands was compared to current populations in the area of ancient Canaan, has found that Iraqi Jews share the highest similarity to canaanite DNA out of all Jewish communities, more than 50% of the DNA on average.

All the beautiful, peaceful Jewish communities of the Arab world were wiped out in the blink of an eye.

The Arabic world has never treated their Jewish communities as equal citizens, oftentimes robbing them of any rights and performing violent acts of genocide against them (check 'Farhud' on Google).

But their voice was silenced once they fled to Israel.

So I decided to recap my grandma's story in the comments of the clip:

Soon after, many Jewish people with Arabic, or 'Mizrahi' heritage, shared their stories as well:

Jewish people all over the planet were driven out of their homes, ethnically cleansed by their neighbors, rulers, and governments.

We are still not welcome in most of the countries of the Arab world. Unable to see glimpses of our history.

My grandma still wishes she could see the house she grew up in. Holding the memories, but unable to set foot in that land, because she would be executed.

Nevertheless, she's not a refugee. She might've fled to Israel, but in Israel, her family got equal rights as citizens, and she built a house on a land she now calls her home.

Don't erase my grandma's story. Don't erase the Jewish ethnic cleansing that brought her to seek a safe haven in Israel.

Israel is a home for more than half of the Jewish people on this planet. Out of the ~8,000,000 Jews who live in Israel, there are about ~2,500,000 Jews of Mizrahi heritage.

And as Golda Meir once said: "our secret weapon is that we have nowhere else to go."

[maevathon-waveathon]

hey everyone who either follows me or sees this. just letting any of you know and be aware that tonight, israel attacked rafah, the last safe haven for Palestinians in gaza. they attacked during the met gala to distract western media. please please please don’t stop speaking out about this and raising awareness.

[luckybyler]

I’m so fucking tired of seeing a part of the fandom acting like hating Noah Schnapp is acceptable, let alone the right thing to do; or saying that they still ship Byler because they “separate the actor from the character” (there’s nothing to separate because Noah has done nothing wrong). I’ve even seem some “defending” him by saying that he’s uneducated, or brainwashed, or he doesn’t know better, which is about 50 shades of offensive.

He’s a Jewish guy who likes the fact that Israel (a.k.a. the one safe haven for Jewish people, a historically persecuted minority under constant and current threat of genocide, in a land that they have historically inhabited) exists. That doesn’t make him uneducated, or brainwashed, or wrong, and least of all evil or deserving of hate.

Having a different opinion from Noah is fine, we all have different opinions about things and if we dig deep enough we’ll find we disagree on fundamental topics with everyone else. Thinking that hating Noah for his Jewishness (because that’s what this is really about, “Antizionism is not Antisemitism” my ass) is the right thing is a psychopath take, no matter how “edgy” you think you are.

Accidentally deleted a post 🤦🏽‍♂️

The magen (or sheild) of David is a symbol of Jewish faith and banning it from being worn at pride is an act of antisemitism and hate against Jewish members of the LGBTQA+ .

Yes it is on the Israeli flag. It is on the flag because in Israel the flag was founded on the religious/ cultural aspect of Judaism. Since Israel was made to be a safe haven for Jews, especially after the second world war.

If you think the star/ Magen David is "Israeli propaganda" you are wrong. It was a symbol of the Jewish faith before the flag was designed for Israel.

The Magen David is worn for protection, it's worn to show your pride in being Jewish.

The history behind the Magen David is deep and studying the King David section of Torah is the best way to try to understand why we use the symbol to represent our faith.

Stop using any reason you think is plausible to exclude Jews from things because of your antisemitism!
