Non-Jews feel free to reblog this one.

To the Left: Here’s the deal. So many leftists are asking “how can you stand with Zionism” or insert what amounts to (false) accusations of horrific things. Here’s how, this is the reason:

We agree on so many things, and Jews have overwhelmingly been a part of the Left Bloc for a long time. We agree on almost everything with regards to current events. None of you can convince me that I’m evil for the differences we now have. Killing innocent people, killing children is wrong. That’s it, there are no buts. We agree.

Where we do not agree is how the Left has failed to police antisemitism - Jew Hate - in its ranks. Crazy stuff. Medieval stuff. The Blood Libel. Old conspiracies that have gotten Jews killed for over a thousand years. And we see this (we see it all over the place. We’ve been trained by centuries of violence to guard against it.)

Now you want us to bloc up with you, when Jew Hate in your ranks isn’t a deal breaker. You hold up tokenized Jews and say “well this person doesn’t have a problem with it”

Being a “Good Jew™️” won’t save us. Siding against our community won’t save us. Standing against our community won’t save us. We know in our blood that pushing other Jews towards destruction won’t save us. It never has.

The Left has wrapped itself in language that drips with poison - poison meant for us. We recognize it. We know it. And we can’t stand in a Bloc of people that think that’s the cost of business. The Left has lost me. I’ve called myself a Leftist for more than a decade. Can’t do it now.

“What about Right Wing Jew Hate?”

What about it? Jews recognize that the enemy of their enemy is also often their enemy. You don’t get a friend card for saying a bunch of the same repulsive things as they.

I would rather be sure in my heart that I’m standing for the same values, and the people at my shoulders don’t mean to put a literal dagger in my back. And I mean literal as Jews are attacked in our tiny communities thousands of miles from the thing we’re all pissed about.

psst, tumblr just quietly rolled out collaboration with ai training models, and it's opt-out, not opt-in, go into your blog settings to fix it [on desktop, anyway, dunno where you'd look on mobile] keep fighting the good fight <3

I don't see an option for it now, so it may not have rolled out for everyone yet? Unless I'm just missing where it is

All I ask is for you to get to know me on a deep, intimate level while I resist and obstruct your every attempt to do so.
