If ur activism is solely based on yelling at Jews on the internet. Is it really activism? Who are you helping? You're just being an antisemite and not really doing anything.

Go help in a shelter. Work in a kitchen. Become a first responder. Anything.

Edit: Btw. Each negative response just proves you're unwilling to GET TO FUCKING WORK. 😭 DUDE.

"oh no, you're crying antisemitism to avoid talking about—" no. I'm actually telling you to get up your ass and actually do something that helps. Sounds to me like you're allergic to get dirt in your hands and feed the poor. Actually know how real activism works. Discourse and antisemitism doesn't feed hungry mouths, doesn't help people who have been killed by cops, doesn't shelter the poor.

you know what helped? Organized clinics, free breakfast programs, shelters, talking to representatives, funding funerals, free schooling.

Funny enough. I'm not even saying something out of the ordinary, or even out of your ideology. I'm literally quoting help guides done in the 60s about direct action. Much of these things are organized by Black, Latino and Jewish people.

If you hate Jews more than care for people, do you really care for people?

Social change starts with you. And I find funny that me, someone who sucks dick for cash and hates politics, has to tell you something about your own ideology. Be helpful, or get the fuck out of the way.

Hi,

I just had a question about the US's role in Israel/Palestine if that's okay! One of my friends is conservative/republican/MAGA (not sure what he is atp), and we were recently talking about the strikes on Iran. he explained to me that he's "ideologically zionist", but that the US has no business meddling in a foreign war even if he personally believes that Israel has the right to exist. I then was like, but isn't Iran an enemy of the US too, like Israel is our ally and Iran hates us, to which he was like, "but why do they hate us? strategically, if we recognize Palestine and support them over Israel, we'll have allies in the entire Middle East"

I personally think that Iran's enmity with the US is about far more than Israel, but since you're way more educated on the topic, I was wondering what your two cents were on whether or not helping Israel is in the US's best interest. This is a loaded question, so you def don't have to answer, but since I do love your analysis, I just wanted to throw out this ask :)

Here are the questions I think you're asking:

Is Iranian regime's hatred of the United States about Israel? With Israel out of the equation, would the regime in Iran stop hating the US?

If the US recognized/supported Hamas and/or the Palestinian Authority instead, would this win the US more support throughout the Middle East?

Is supporting Israel actually in the US's best interest?

TLDR:

No

No

Yes

The Iranian regime's hatred of the US is not about Israel

The hostility from the Iranian regime towards the US predates any involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Islamic Republic was built on the idea of opposition to the West generally, and the US/UK specifically. The 1979 revolution did not name Israel as its primary grievance, and "Death to America" became a foundational slogan long before US military aid to Israel became substantial.

Since that time, the Iranian regime has targeted and killed Americans, funded militias that attack US forces, plotted and attempted assassinations on US soil, and funded/coordinated proxy wars across the region. These actions are not reactive. They are part of a long-term ideological, regional, and international agenda.

The Iranian regime backed Hezbollah, the Assad regime, Shiite militias in Iraq, the Houthis in Yemen, Hamas, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. This is a strategy to destabilize its regional rivals.

While the Iranian regime's foundational animosity toward the US is ideological and predates the modern Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it has also in recent years effectively used the plight of the Palestinians as a powerful tool to rally regional support, delegitimize its Arab rivals, and export its revolutionary ideology.

This dual reality helps explain the common misperception that Iran's regional aggression is solely about Israel.

Recognizing a Palestinian state would not neutralize the threats from the Iranian regime.

Your friend posits a false binary that the US must choose between supporting Israel OR winning favor in the Middle East

This framing assumes that Arab and Muslim-majority countries are just waiting to embrace the US...if only the US would ditch Israel. It imagines a zero-sum game in which supporting Israel loses the region for the US, and supporting Palestine, would "win" it.

This zero-sum framing does not align with the stated priorities and historical actions of the region's key Arab governments. Lebanon bars Palestinians from dozens of professions. Jordan's army massacred Palestinian factions in 1970. Egypt blockades Gaza to block Hamas weapons smuggling.

These aren't pro-Palestinian governments. They're authoritarian, interest-driven, and often already aligned with the US against Iran, regardless of Israel. Most Arab regimes treat the Palestinian issue as symbolic. They pay lip service to it, but act on their own economic and security interests. Their concerns about diplomacy, military coordination and trade are much more important to them than the plight of the Palestinians.

When the Abraham Accords were signed in 2020, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco openly embraced Israel. None of them made Palestinian recognition a condition. They prioritized trade, security, and shared opposition to Iran. That was their strategic calculus.

The US would also not buy any goodwill in the region by abandoning an ally. Diplomatic leverage is built by being consistent, strong, and useful to your partners.

If the US threw Israel under the bus, the regimes/groups which hate the US would continue to hate the US and it would signal to the world that US alliances are temporary and solely transactional. Smart geopolitical players don't want to invest in fair-weather allies, nor do they want to be seen as fair-weather allies.

Perhaps more importantly, the Iranian regime, Russia, and China would interpret abandonment of Israel as weakness...and would exploit it.

The US would gain nothing by throwing Israel under the bus.

Israel is a strategic asset and aid from the US is neither a gift nor charity

The US currently provides about $3.8 billion per year in Foreign Military Financing to Israel as part of a 10-year agreement signed in 2016. This amounts to less than 0.06% of the federal budget and makes up less than 5% percent of Israel's national budget. About 74% of these funds are required by law to be spent on US defense equipment and services. This means that $2.8 billion flows back into the US economy every year, which supports thousands of American jobs and strengthens the US's domestic defense industry.

That $3.8 billion in annual aid to Israel is part of a broader US strategy of supporting key allies, similar to security packages for partners like Egypt and Jordan. Critics sometimes argue that requiring these funds to be spent on US equipment is a subsidy for the defense industry, and I think that's a fair point. This requirement, however, serves a dual purpose. It directly invests in the US domestic industrial base (supporting American jobs), while also ensuring interoperability between the US military and one of its most capable partners

Israel is also a research and development partner. The two countries co-develop missile defense systems including Iron Dome, David's Sling, and the Arrow program. These systems (and others) are battle-tested and now benefit US military planning and procurement. Israel uses US funding to develop new tech...which then made available to the US.

Source: https://www.state.gov/u-s-security-cooperation-with-israel/

Bilateral research programs like BIRD, BARD, and BSF have added an estimated $7.7 billion to the US economy and created tens of thousands of American jobs.

Israel also plays a critical role in US cybersecurity. The two countries exchange real-time threat intelligence and collaborate on cyber defense through the Cyber Working Group. Veterans of Israel’s Unit 8200, one of the world's leading cyber units, feed talent and innovation into the US tech sector.

Source: https://lexingtoninstitute.org/israel-americas-critical-cybersecurity-ally/

US aid to Israel is not charity. It is a partnership that strengthens US security, innovation, and resilience. The US invests in the relationship because it benefits the US to do so.

Interests are not separate from values

Like all democracies, Israel is imperfect. Its policies regarding the situation in area C of the West Bank and settlement expansion draw legitimate criticism from many sources, including some within Israeli society. However, these issues are debated openly in a dynamic political system with an independent judiciary and a free press...which is in stark contrast to the absolute repression of its chief regional adversary, Iran.

The Iranian regime jails protesters, executes dissidents, hangs gay teenagers, imposes gender apartheid, silences criticism with force, and governs by fear.

Ultimately, debate over the US-Israel relationship should be grounded in a rational assessment of American national interest. The alliance is not based on sentiment, but on a strategic calculus that it provides a significant return on investment through advanced military technology, crucial intelligence, and regional stability in the face of shared threats.

Supporting Israel is a strategic, economic, and moral investment which serves US interests.

Mamdami won the primaries, he was not elected

idk what the feeling is but watching Trump say "Shylocks" Grok declare itself "MechaHitler" and someone hack Elmo's twitter account to make the muppet say "kill all the Jews" all this month.

and the Goyish reaction seems to be "lol okay thats weird" and like laugh it off, act like its a weird one off, a strange aberrations, and then move on at once.

It's like what? do we need to do? to get people who aren't Jewish to see this shit as real and serious? particularly with Trump people were like "oh look Trump's using old timey slurs that no one's heard since the 1930s!" and its like no bitch I've been called that shit to my face.

people totally ignored that someone made one of the most beloved children's TV characters say "kill all the Jews" and the Grok thing....

the Grok thing is the worst because like Grok is not a person, an AI is not a person. It's an amalgamation of everything you find on-line. it should be alarm bells for all of us that if you take the safety off an AI it automatically goes full Nazi because there's SO! much of that on-line, the internet defaults to Nazism...

and yet no one cares, no one will take antisemitism seriously ever.

Goyim plz dont interact.

Jumblr, i saw the article someone posted from the Holocaust scholar, but did not have time to read it. Can we have some sort of consensus for, at what point, do we agree that Israel has now begun committing genocide? Is that soon? I do not think it implausible that Netanyahu could start doing that kind of thing soon, but I didn't read the article so IDK. help plz?

Jew on social media in 2025 Gothic:

You point out that claiming that a secret group run the world for the benefit of Israel is antisemitic. You get called a zionazi. You get called a genocide apologist. You get called a genocidaire. Gaza continues to suffer.

You point out that someone attacking Jews in the diaspora and shouting "free Palestine" when arrested is probably antisemitic, since, you know, killing Jews over Israel isn't a very efficacious way of criticizing Israel. You get called a zionazi. You get called a genocide apologist. You get called a genocidaire. Gaza continues to suffer.

You say that there's still fifty hostages held in Gaza, and you beg the Israeli government to accept an all-for-peace deal. You get called a zionazi. You get called a genocide apologist. You get called a genocidaire. Gaza continues to suffer.

You say that the Israeli response has been wildly disproportionate but it's, you know, a response, not aggression, unlike, say, the invasion of Ukraine. You get called a zionazi. You get called a genocide apologist. You get called a genocidaire. Gaza continues to suffer.

You ask if calling Israel a colonial country is perhaps erasing Jewish indigeneity. You get called a zionazi. You get called a genocide apologist. You get called a genocidaire. Gaza continues to suffer.

You ask what happens to seven million Jews currently living in Israel when Palestine is free from the river to the sea. You get called a zionazi. You get called a genocide apologist. You get called a genocidaire. Gaza continues to suffer.

Gaza continues to suffer. You get called a zionazi. You get called a genocide apologist. You get called a genocidaire. Gaza continues to suffer.

Recently, authority figures in the US told a minority facing active bigotry that they have less rights. Specifically, when it comes to dealing with bigotry against them in the school system, they may not speak for themselves. Furthermore, as part of the decision by the authority figures, it was clear that the authorities themselves are bigoted against the minority in question.

Which minority am I talking about here?

Is it the Supreme Court's decision against LGBTQ+ people as part of Mahmoud et al v Taylor et al, where LGBTQ+ books were misrepresented and it's now a religious right to "opt out" of anything that might teach people to treat queer people as human beings? The one where Samuel Alito's homophobia comes through clear as day?

Or...

Is it the National Education Association voting to boycott the ADL at their recent conference? The one where attendees were reportedly wearing keffiyahs and shirts accusing Jews of committing genocide as they voted to silence Jews on defining our own oppression?

Surprise! It's both!

One came from the Right, and one came from the Left, but in both cases...

"Minority students will just have to shut up and stop making other students uncomfortable by existing."

Im probably gonna forget it but good to know! Thanks.

I do find it extremely disrespectful that romani are often used as an object for argument rather than actually honored as real people who were victims of the holocaust, by people trying to minimize the suffering of jews during the holocaust.

Romani suffering during the holocaust (and in general too tbh but this post is specifically about the Holocaust) deserves to be brought up, have websites and posts dedicated to it, taught in schools, etc, without being seen as a "gotcha" to jews. Especially because a lot of the same tropes and rhetoric nazis used have not left Europe. The same anti romani rhetoric is still in use.

And this has honestly become my catchphrase at this point as I've said it so much but it is still very true, suffering is not a finite resource.

Romani suffering does not take away from jewish suffering and vice versa. There isn't a limited amount of suffering to be passed around.

And it is mainly non romani goyim who do this, which makes it worse in it's own way because it's not even their suffering they're using as argument, it's the suffering of others.

[tzelofachad]

As a non-Jew, the sheer vitriol I see towards Zionism baffles me. And I criticise Zionism; I think it has absolutely led to terrible conditions for Palestinians.

But surely...surely, the response to Zionism should be "wow, we really fucked up with how we treated Jews and now they don't want to live with us anymore. We should probably make the world safer for them so they do want to live with us again."

Instead it's, "we're going to spend 2,000 years harassing, abusing, attacking and murdering Jews but how DARE they want to escape us?? That's so entitled! Have you EVER heard of anything so UTTERLY SELFISH as wanting your own country where you won't be murdered for your ethnoreligion????"

Like, if you're anti-Zionist surely your main priority should be tackling antisemitism? That would be the logical way to end Zionism if you're so absolutely certain it shouldn't exist????

Its like a husband beating his wife and then throwing a fit when she decides she wants to move out.

Like, do you know who I blame most of all for the catastrophe in Gaza right now? Most of all? Because it's not Israelis and it's not IDF and its not Netanyahu. It's not Palestinians and it's not Gaza and it's not Hamas.

Who I blame most of all is the rest of the world for letting it get this bad. And it all starts with the fact that the world decided killing Jews was okay, and continued that belief for 2,000 years.

You're a non-Jew and want things to get better in Israel and Palestine? Start being fucking nicer to Jews, because it is our own fucking societies that started this shitshow.

Daily Uplifting

I just saw the film trailer for Project: Hail Mary, and I am psyched. It's based on Andy Weir's third novel (his first was The Martian), and when I first got the book, I, um, ate it in five hours. @darthflake commented she hadn't seen me that happy and excited in a long time. I won't spoil anything--although the trailer spoils one of the main twists of the book, and I recommend that you hold off from watching the trailer and just go into the movie cold if you can!--but the movie itself is not why this is my Daily Uplifting.

The reason this is my Uplifting is this.

Weir's novels are optimistic and feel that people will do the right thing. That, when one of us is in danger, we will band together to help one another.

Or, to fully play on the space settings of his stories...

People will move heaven and earth to save each other.

And that is a message that I wish to see more of and which I appreciate ever so deeply.

Romani side of tumblr do you have any words to refer to Not Romani people that aren’t purely exonyms? For instance, goyim is grammatically only correct when used by a Jew, even though it doesn’t really matter. Is there any word non Romani can use t denote non Romani or should we just say say non Romani

I do find it extremely disrespectful that romani are often used as an object for argument rather than actually honored as real people who were victims of the holocaust, by people trying to minimize the suffering of jews during the holocaust.

Wow she is cool I hope she wins re election

I meet Sarah McBride once. She’s cool. Out of pure curiosity, what is her opinion on I/P (this isn’t one of those baiting anons, Im only on anon since the first part is a personal thing, and im reticent) you don’t have to answer.

She's said that Israel has a right to exist and to defend itself.

For G-D’s sake I just remembered the Train Emoji antisemitic dog whistle thing Im so sorry I did not mean it like that sorry

Obviously the only kinds of Jews are Orthodox and Reform. There's no one else. Everyone is either Orthodox or Reform. The two genders /s

Bros telling me this the day after I posted a bunch of train emojis on a Jewish persons post in order to make a pun about TRAIN-ing for a pun contest. That probably seemed antisemitic ngl..

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by becky c (@becky.dc)

this is a video explaining antisemitic dog whistles and symbols (in the form of emojis) that people leave on Jewish posts, particularly ones invoking the Holocaust. soap, showers, trains, fire, gas, etc.

the comments:

the fact that the soap comments are likely centered on myths (according to Yad Vashem), and the lampshade is apparently a single gruesome incident, is irrelevant - it’s still people leaving threats and Holocaust references saying they hope Jews are turned into soap and lampshades. it doesn’t make the references magically excusable, and what’s worse is those are used to further deny real Nazi atrocities. the “271K” comments are Holocaust denial. the “ballpoint pen” is denial of Anne Frank’s experiences and has been debunked. “he was right” is a reference to Hitler. “just wish it wasn’t stopped” is self-explanatory. “gorillion” is a Neo-Nazi dog whistle. “109” is too. the “swimming pool” is a reference to the Nazi propaganda film from Theresienstadt / Terezin. “oy vey” is intentionally antisemitic weaponization of Yiddish.

everyone doing this is proving the exact point the video is making.

logically, Goyish leftist should condemn harassment and not mention zionism

Jewish leftist should condone harassment and not mention zionism

goyish Right-ists should condemn harassment and mention zionism

and Jewish rightists should condone harassment and mention Zionism. therefore, as Ben Shapiro, I hereby say that “Jews should be harassed specifically because of Israel”

(joke btw, just taking some Rav Yermiah logic to your post. Important message tho)

Hello goyische leftist reading this. Please say "I condemn online harassment against Jews" without mentioning Zionism or Israel.
