To this day people will cry over the knowledge and works destroyed when the library of Alexandria was burned down.
And yet no tears are shed as Palestinian archives and libraries are bombed.
Saint Porphyrius Church, built in 1150 and the 3rd oldest church in the world has been bombed.
It's not an accident.
Israel aren't simply killing Palestinians, they are trying to erase that there ever were Palestinians in the first place.
Destroying their livelihoods, trying to to destroy their culture and history and pretend this land was never there's.
It's easy to deny someone's existence when there's no record of them.
Which is why it's so important to look at the atrocities and bear witness to what's happening.
But to also recognise that Palestine is more than it's suffering.
There is a living breathing culture, of art, history, literacy which all come from the Palestinians.
Traditions they've carried for centuries.
So while we mourn the dead, we shall fight for the living. Fight for the preservation of their crafts, amplify their voices as they speak on their culture.
Palestinian history and culture is alive. And no matter how much the world wants to erase that, they cannot and will not.
Because I'm only seeing other Jews posting about this, non-Jews I need you to be aware that for the past month or two there has been a wave of bomb threats and swattings at synagogues all across the US. They usually do it when services are being livestreamed. I haven't seen a single non-Jew talking about this. High holidays are coming up in a few weeks, which is when most attacks happen against our communities. We're worried, and we need people to know what's happening to us.
Two Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jewish) men rejoice during Simchat Torah. x
idgaf anymore i’ll say it.
if you are converting and this is the shit you post publicly and believe:
just know lmao you’re not welcome. you have never been welcome at a single point in jewish history. you get jews killed.
this isn’t about differences of opinion. this is about believing:
1. half the jews in the world are oppressors
2. revisionist history
3. blood libel
4. holocaust inversion
5. absolute fucking lies. like blatant, easily disproven lies.
6. the demonization of OUR rights, OUR landback, OUR decolonization.
7. that we deserve to be oppressed.
there is a difference between disagreeing and perpetuating lies about and harm toward your people, or the people you are joining. i disagree with fellow jews every day. however, we all have common decency.
believing this shit means you support erasing our history, destroying our culture, shitting on our religion, and you are not a jew, nor will you ever be one. you are a fucking interloper. a cossack pretending.
there is nothing jewish about this.
(and yes, a prominent “prospective convert” posted this so kiss my ass.)
don’t try celebrating hanukkah either lmao. the maccabees would have ripped you a new asshole.

Honestly, it’s probably the best decision for the trans community to abolish “AM/FAB”
met a trans woman who was going to be a potential new roommate. she wanted to see a picture of me to know i was a real person. after seeing my selfie she asked me "AFAB on T?" i felt the most dysphoric i had felt in years- its one thing to have cis people ask me things like this, but it's a huge slap in the balls to hear things like this from other trans people.
we are in the "nobody cares what gender you were assigned at birth" community. don't single people out or try to assume their AGAB- if you're trans and don't want people asking you about your AGAB, the other trans person almost definitely feels the same way. respect people's privacy and identity- attempting to profile other trans people by what their bodies look like is violence.

apart from a small community of indiviuals with matzo ball fever, no one has ever significantly fetishized judaism. this is because judaism is not particularly cool. we dont have the hardcore metal deathsex imagery of the christians nor do we have the white-america-scaring streed cred of islam. and now thanks to zionism fully showing its hand as a cornball nazi crybaby ideology we will probably never be able to be cool either unless we bring back our communist roots by significantly reviving bundism or smth. its all so embarassing frankly. all we have atp is uncut gems
Unnecessary to attack trans people like that
Whats your opinion on antizionist jews?
Weak minded, uninformed, uneducated, communist, or anarchist. Probably has gender identity issues.
A Palestinian child's plans after the war
She wrote
1) 30 days delivery
2) watch the TV and stay up and eat all that I want
3) go wherever I want
4) talk with my father for hours everyday
5) buy a lot of cute clothes
6) travel insha'Allah and see my dad
7) convince my dad to travel to uncle Mostafa and uncle Mohammed
8) go out of gaza and go to Switzerland
In the end she wrote:
* insha'Allah my plans happen*
Her name was sila and she will never see those plans achieved because she was killed like many PALESTINIAN children .
End this genocide
And free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸
