hey there person searching my blog for mentions of israel palestine jews palestinians arabs gaza zionism genocide apartheid jewish jumblr judaism white settler colonialism
i explicitly do not want palestinians or arabs or anyone to be genocided. i want a just and equal peace for literally every ethnic, racial, religious group, no exceptions. i do not believe jews are better than arabs. i believe palestinians have a right to self-determination in palestine, just as much as jews have a right to self-determination in israel. if i say something is antisemitic, it is not because i think it is antisemitic to criticize israel or support palestinians.
if you say i believe any of the above or am advocating for genocide or violence against palestinians or hate people for being pro-palestine, you are lying.
if you hear me say the word antisemitism, and kneejerk to believing i want people to die, you need to take a timeout and chill.
if you hear me criticize or disagree with popular palestinian narratives, that does not make me islamophobic or anti-palestinian or anti-arab. criticizing israel is not antisemitic; neither is criticizing palestine anti-palestinian. anti-islamism is not islamophobia.
yes, accusations that use tropes that have historically been used to genocide jews are in fact antisemitic regardless of intent or who or what you are criticizing.
criticizing israel is not antisemitic; criticizing jewish israelis in a way that uses tropes like blood libel, rootless cosmopolitanism, and the like, is antisemitic. if you cannot parse that sentence, or try to present the latter clause as refuting the former, you are either lack the reading comprehension skills to be taken seriously or you are being dishonest.
