מלכת השושנים

I've been variably pinned as Turkish, Arab, Greek, and Lebanese. Or failing that, quizzical looks from people asking me "What ethnicity are you? You don't quite look white but I can't tell what."

The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was effectively Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union also pulling their brand of imperialism and splitting up Eastern Europe for themselves.

And after the war, denazification wasn't fully implemented. Sure, many of the Nazi top brass were trialled and hanged. Some got life sentences. Plenty got away scot free (cough Albert Speer). We dont talk enough about the various companies and organisations that aided and backed the Nazis, both within Germany and outside of it. Even the railway workers who ran the trains

The Allies decided it was unrealistic to arrest everyone involved (also with Cold War tensions ramping up) and decided to focus more efforts to rebuild Germany. And plenty of Nazis became part of the West German government. A few too in East Germany. Then also poached to be part of the US and Soviet space programmes

We have Austria who paraded themselves as the "first victims of Nazism" despite being enthusiastic for joining Germany. The referendum was rigged, but there was much more fervent support for Nazism in Austria than Germany. And so we ended up with an ex-Nazi who ran the UN and also became President of Austria

We have Poland who enthusiastically barred their returning Jewish neighbors, whom they had betrayed, from returning to their homes. Now, Poland had made it illegal to even suggest that some of them had collaborated with the Nazi regime during the occupation

Meanwhile, Israel continues hunting down Nazis and even got condemned for repatriating Adolf Eichmann back to Israel, where he was trialled and put to death

Honestly, it seems the legacy of Nazism is not even dead. But also, that's because Nazism was a manifestation of European antisemitism. Nazism didnt come from a vacuum, that one day some small group decided to kill Jews. Kill Jews have unfortunately been a prevailing popular idea, and all they needed was some trumped up justification

- A quote I'd like broadcast into every Hamasnik rally in the west at 120 decibels.

Opposing this, aka antizionism, is direct support for the politically poisoned dick-measuring contest known as arab colonialism. Opposition to Jewish landback, to Jewish safety, to Jewish practice, and to Jewish life. We know what happened for most of history when Jews did not have an independent country, with our own defense force, our own laws, and our own independence.

Pure and simple. It is not Jewish supremacy. It is not informative or indicative of support (or lack thereof) for any given statement or action of the Israeli government. That is a seperate idea entirely. It is not inherently violent. It is not racism, or bigotry. It is not opposition to anyone else's existence, because it predates everyone else. It is not even a negotiable political debate. It is a Jewish philosophy, the foundation of our whole existence in practice. And it does not involve anyone but Jews, just like the rest of Judaism.

“weaponizing the holocaust”

“essentializing antisemitism”

“eternal victims”

“victim card declined”

Please. Just... fucking please. It happens all. The. Fucking. Time. I swear half the people on this site can't hear the word "Holocaust" without burping up some screed on how really queer people were the REAL victims, and just mentioning that antisemitism was the wellspring of it all, the excuse the Nazis used to go after everyone else they hated, is "erasure".
