Antisemitism Tw - Blog Posts
No it isn’t “girlboss” or feminist to say that you don’t care about the rape of Israeli women because of what’s happening in Palestine
As a gentile,
I will happily, happily absorb antisemitism to prevent it from reaching/getting to Jewish people. Happily 😊
I hope this is allyship. Really, I do.
It’s okay to be annoyed at social distancing. It’s okay to be disappointed your favorite event was canceled or frustrated with online classes or online work. It’s okay, feel the way you’re feeling, we need room for that.
But remember, herd action is a powerful thing, we aren’t doing this for just you or me or one single person. We’re doing this for the elderly and immunecompromised, we’re doing this for the health care professionals so they don’t get too overwhelmed. We’re doing this for more than just ourselves. This is collective action at work.
And it is the group that lifts that barn when no one person can
it is the group that takes turns talking to the man down during the worst day of his life
it’s the group that gets out the wet wipes and quietly takes down hate symbols
and we don’t do that for ourselves. We do that because there is a love for strangers, a love for people we don’t know, and a dedication to others that is more than just “me” and “survive” and us vs them.
It is easy to feel alone in these times when we are literally meant to be alone, but this too is a means of care, this too is an act of love. And I think, I really do, I think that’s worth holding onto.
hi its prox
a reminder : antisemitism isn’t tolerated here .
this might sound like a no-brainer but ive seen a lot of asinine takes in my circles so thought i’d make my views clear
if you’re hostile , unaccepting or discriminatory towards any Jewish person … get . Off. My blog.
this place is a safe space . you have an ally in me .
Slowly realizing that I was taught twice as much about the bubonic plague than I was about the shoah. I feel like that's telling. We never learned anything about the shoah specifically, just that the axis and allied powers existed, that Pearl Harbor happened, and we won. Because those are, apparently, the only important parts of WWII
Jew here with a friendly reminder that:
Criticizing Isreal ≠ antisemetic
Supporting Palestine ≠ antisemitic
Believing in the Free Palestine cause ≠ antisemitic
BUT ALSO
A random ass Jew just living their life oceans away has nothing to do with the Isreal-Palestine conflict
Palestinian Jews exist
Jews that support Palestine exist (I am one of them)
Calling out ACTUAL antisemitism ≠ supporting Isreal
