if you wonder why jewish people aren't antizionists, why they're not coming to your protests, look at yourself! look at what people who are on your side are saying and doing! you may have "nazis dni" in your bio, you may have talked about punching nazis, you may even have made a post about how "not all jewish people are zionists!!" but when it comes down to it, when the nazis are on your side you don't care. you don't speak out against the people using your movement to harass and target jews then villainize jews who don't feel safe.

Ask yourself, why are you so fine with the antisemitism from people in your movement? why do you not feel the need to speak out against it?

People will make posts calling out Israel's use of collective punishment then say all Israeli citizens should be punished for the sins of their government and far-right movement.

A lot of people have convinced themselves that everyone living in Israel is a rich (not true) Jew (not true) who moved there as an adult (modern Israel has existed for nearly a century lots of the people living there were born there) which means it's ok to wish them dead because they are oppressors actively stealing land.

Just to give some hard numbers on @noparlpf's point. Oh, and just to really ram it home on the "they can go back where they came from!" line?

Yemen, to give one example, has passed laws making it legal to murder Jews.

Not only is the double standard obvious, but the intent is obvious, in that there are only two places where it is acceptable for Jews to exist.

Despite some newer claims, it's important to remember where "from the river to the sea" come from:

On August 2, 1948, the New York Times, hardly a Zionist mouthpiece, reported that “Sheikh Hassan el-Bana, head of the Moslem Brotherhood, largest of the extremist Arab nationalist organizations, declared in an interview today: ‘If the Jewish state becomes a fact, and this is realized by the Arab peoples, they will drive the Jews who live in their midst into the sea.’” 

(Baker, 2018, Camera)

It's also a good chance to remind you that jews in north-Africa also suffered during the holocaust, and some were sent to the concentration and death camps.

Iirc, there was a transport from Algeria, and maybe Libya? But those two DEFINITELY had inside concentration camps, force work, and general jew-slaughter.

I remember stories about how people kept go-bags in there homes. Not really sure where they planned to go, or didn't plan probably, but I remember I was in 2nd grade and packed and kept my own go-bag in my room.

Fun times!

(idk if it was something the Jewish-community leaders said, or just aspects of being Jewish and always prepare for the worst - bc it would come.) I do remember reading an autobiography that stated discussions about "if the Nazis will get us, should we kill ourselves and the kids or let them take us?"

Funny enough, I hear some similar discussions know. There are many statements from ppl who were in the massacre area during the first days about abuse and torture of the deceased. So. Never again?

Anyway!

For another list, feel free to read (what started as) a poem (and turned into a list of pogroms and such, as I fell down this rabbit hole.)

Some of you cannot bare the thought that Jews and Israelis are human beings just like you for even a second.
