Antisemetism Tw - Tumblr Posts
This, right here.
I'd like to add a link about the history of jewish people in europe for the very fewer people that are actually interested in learning about our history. It includes maps of our immigartion to europe since ancient times, the antisemetism we dealt with since the very first step we made into europe to this day, and a lot of additional data.
Coming back for a moment with this. TikTok found this did not violate their terms of service.
I think the saddest part for me about this war is that I don't trust anyone that considers themselves liberal and progressive.
I used to. Seeing a pride flag on someone's profile was enough for me to trust them. I would assume I could be safe and comfortable with them. My family made fun of me for it, but I truly believed there were genuinely good people with a perfect way of living.
I've seen so much shit online. I see all of those blue haired liberals my uncle made fun of me for being tearing away photos of kidnapped Jews. I see people I considered friends posting harmful misinformation. People with cartoons characters I like as a profile picture say my people deserved this.
It feels bonkers to double check if someone wants me dead before talking to them. This shit makes me realise why my ancestors didn't mix with goy people. I know most people don't mean harm to me, but how can I know? Maybe that's why there are Jewish supremacists. Obviously we're all human, shitty people are everywhere, but when everyone tell your community to die, it's easy to hate everyone outside your community.
I don't hate people who disappointed me as a whole. I feel like I lost faith in the entire humanity. Except for my people. This is a fucking terrifying feeling. I've been marginalized my whole life- a queer autistic woman. I never hated men, I never hated cishet people, I never hated allistic people. I'm so close to hating goy people. I've never been closer to being just like the people I hate most. It's a horrible feeling. And I blame every goy person.
Tldr- I lost my faith in humanity and I feel my morals collapsing
“Why do I get accused of being antisemitic just because I’m anti-Zionist. Being anti-Zionist doesn’t mean I hate Jews? Criticizing Israel isn’t antisemitic!”
I mean, yes, criticism of Israel isn’t inherently antisemitic. No government is or should be beyond criticism.
HOWEVER
This was a tag on an anti-Zionist post going around. And what I found noteworthy - other than the person’s antisemitism and Wild lack of critical thinking skills - was that no one in the notes had anything to say about it. Nobody in the anti-Zionist space where this was being passed around looked at these words and thought, “huh, maybe I should call this person in or maybe even out. My views are not represented by this.”
Nope. None of that. Everyone just went on with their day and, more than that, reblogged without comment.
If this is the kind of sentiment you allow to exist in your spaces unchecked? You’re antisemitic. I don’t care what your thoughts are on Israel or Palestine, I don’t care that you have a Jewish friend or relative, I don’t care that you protested with JVP. If you are okay with this rhetoric, Jews are no safer with you than they are at a meeting of the Aryan Brotherhood. Because either you agree with this sentiment, or you’ll sit there silently and watch while those who do agree with this sentiment act to harm us.
This is why ardent anti-Zionism from people without a personal connection to the issue makes so many Jews so wary. Because a lot of those folks? Hang out with people like the one above.
If there’s a table with 10 Nazis at it and you sit down to have lunch with them, then there’s a table with 11 Nazis.
Do you know what this is? This is The Heart from Auschwitz.
An act of defiance. A statement of hope. A crime punishable by death.
On December 12, 1944, locked inside Auschwitz, Polish teenager Fania turned twenty. After spending a year in a concentration camp, Fania didn’t expect her birthday to even be remembered - but her best friend, Zlatka, risked everything to make her a birthday present, a paper heart.
Simply making the heart - or carrying it - could get either of them killed.
The heart was signed by many of their friends, bearing notes in Polish, German, French, and Hebrew that announced "When you get old, put your glasses on your nose, take this album in your hand and read my signature again,“ and “Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!” It was an act of great sacrifice and love for a friend.
Less than 40 days later, they began the Death March from Auschwitz to Ravensbruck, and from Ravensbruck to freedom. Fania carried the heart under her arm the whole time. And survived.
Fania donated the heart to the Montreal Holocaust Memorial Center in 1988, where it is a featured piece of their exhibit. You can read more about the story of Fania and Zlatka Meg Wiviott’s Paper Hearts, coming September 2015.
As a half ethnically Jewish leftist , THIS. The amount of times I’ve seen and heard people in leftist circles say stuff like “oh but the Jews are greedy” or shit about us being “the 1 percent” or all being bankers is fucking disgusting. I hate being seen as “the enemy” by people who claim to be leftists just because of my ethnicity. Or the times that leftists have told me that they cannot trust me because they don’t know if I’m going to “hijack the Marxist movement for my own gain” because that’s apparently a thing that we do. Fucking awful.
leftist antisemites are really everywhere on this hellsite making & reblogging their posts like “the Jews have too much power and privilege and actually their very recent genocide was not that bad compared to what my group experiences and antisemitism doesn’t even exist in my country and especially not in liberal spaces”
Call me crazy but I'm not comfortable with stranger things filming in a former concentration camp. There were a million other places they could have filmed it but instead they saw a place where people were genocided not even 80 years ago and were like "this is perfect"
