It is Oct. 7th. One year. A year since the worst massacre of Jews in a single day since the Holocaust and a year since I witnessed on my dash, in real time, people and blogs I enjoyed and respected actually celebrating this utter depravity and imagining this absolutely evil position gave them moral superiority. An entire year of the total dehumanisation of raped, brutalised, and kidnapped human beings. An entire year of atrocity denying, victim blaming justification of the actions of genocidal antisemitic terrorists. An entire year of hostages being held captive in Gaza being subject to unimaginable treatment, for nothing but the โcrimeโ of daring to live.
An entire year of a repulsive and terrifying global explosion in antisemitic abuse and violence, of Jewish pain and grief being ridiculed, sneered at, and ignored. An entire year of the left loudly and proudly betraying every single ideal they supposedly stood for. An entire year of so-called progressives and human rights activists throwing Jews and Israelis under the bus and patting themselves on the back for it.
My Jewish and Israeli friends, I know today is a painful and traumatic day, as it has been a painful and traumatic year. I hold you all in my heart and my thoughts today and every day and I stand with you unreservedly and unapologetically. Your strength and resilience in the face of unspeakable cruelty, your deep love for those who have been lost and your endless hope for those still in captivity has been inspiring and humbling.
May the hostages return home safe to their families and may there be peace ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฑ๐

So I've been hearing that there shouldn't be a country for the jews, that it should be like "other countries" and "be for everyone".
Ok, so your country that has separation of church and state, which days are the work week?
Mon-Fri? Huh? Why is that? Maybe to make it so people won't work on Sundays, and then, go to church?
In Israel, the work week is Sun-Thu. I don't know if Americans even know that.
Friday night to Saturday night is the Sabbath, so having these days off make it easier to observe.
Muslim countries, usually, have the workweek be Sat-Wed for similar reasons.
People are so stuck on their American Defaultism that they forget that so many things are structured on purpose to benefit different people.
So when people say that Israel should be abolished and there should be a "neutral secular state", what they mean is that it should be more like what they consider the "normal" and "default".
They act like there is a "one size fits all" culture, that anything else is some perversion for the ideal of what a country should be.
That's just one of many many things, cultural and religious, that makes Israel the only place in the world where jews can live without being an afterthought.
I have a lot of problems with Israel.
So many, many problems, especially with the government, and with what's to come with Trump's victory.
I genuinely hope for a change, for the end of suffering, for lasting peace and justice.
But I'm so done with people that have their country built to suit them telling me mine shouldn't exist.
Feels so surreal that itโs October again. Last October was simultaneously just yesterday and several lifetimes ago. October used to be my favorite month, but now Iโm starting to believe that it will never stop being October, and it fills me with a gnawing sense of dread.
If you see articles and tweets about how the Star of David is now a symbol of fascism and think to yourself "maybe they have a point," then whatever you define as your antizionism has absolutely crossed the line into antisemitism
The Star of David is one of the most important symbols in Judaism. The fact that it is on the flag of Israel does not make it fascist. The government of Israel is separate from the symbol. Labeling such a widely used symbol by a marginalized people as fascist is incredibly dangerous and seeks to conflate Jews as a whole with the Israeli government- something antizionists continually claim people shouldn't do. So why are some doing it?
High control groups slowly ease you into believing nonsensical things. They provide "reasoning" and "logic" which goes largely unchallenged within echo chambers. People in these echo chambers are prone to believing it because they start to see it as real logic instead of bigoted, twisted reasoning. Even otherwise intelligent people can fall for their prejudices as they begin to view it as a form of justice
It is a fantasy that high control group leaders go from 0 to 100 in five minutes or refuse to answer any questions- they are usually much more manipulative
Please confront your biases. The Jews are tired
Semi-regular reminder that Hamas is a terrorist organization with a long, long history of using human shields and that any news coming from "Palestine" is coming through a Hamas mouthpiece and that Hamas's stated goals in their manifesto is to kill all Jews ("But Gayle," someone once said to me, "They only say Zionists!" I swear to fuck, I will hit you with the clown hammer until your clown makeup comes off).
And while I have you here, the Houthis are literally Nazis and it's fucking wild the number of people I saw a year ago saying "punch all Nazis" who suddenly got very upset when Israel bombed the fucking Nazis.
Palestine deserves to be at peace. Yemen deserves to be at peace. Israel deserves to be at peace. Palestine and Yemen are run by terrorist groups who do not want peace because they are so mad Jews exist, they are willing to cause pain, suffering, and unending fuckery to civilians in order to meet their stated goals of killing all Jews.
If you think Israel is the enemy in all of this, you're the fucking antisemitic problem.
Adieu Alain Delon, an icon of french cinema and one of the most handsome men to exist (1935-2024).
Today is the remembrance day for all the Jewish people of Crimea that were killed during WW2. According to the 1939 census, there were 65 452 Jewish people living in Crimea, among whom there were probably more than 7000 Krymchaks. Krymchaks are a separate ethnolinguistic community of the Jewish population, who speak the Crimean Tatar language and are one of the indigenous people of Crimea. Records state about 40 000 victims among Jews and Krymchaks during WW2. Researchers state that the Nazis killed about 80% of the Krymchaks from their pre-war number. The loss of the main part of the ethnic community had irreversible consequences. Among the exterminated were almost all representatives of the older age group - the keepers and bearers of traditions, language and culture.
Jews: experience almost constant ethnic cleansing for the past two thousand years, so much so that the concepts of ghettos and diasporas were invented to refer to our circumstances.
Some shmucks today apparently: IDK, man, I feel like you guys haven't suffered enough. Also, you're white now.
shana tova!
