מלכת השושנים

Maybe they had some bad memories associated with their time in diaspora and wanted an entirely fresh start?

Maybe not everything the Jews do is a top secret nefarious plot?

wait, so…from what I’ve witnessed and personally experienced, and from what I’ve read or been told about the experiences of others, every fandom, every disability/chronic illness space, every pop culture/film/music space, every book space, hobby spaces (including things like gardening and bird watching), crafting spaces (knitting, crochet, painting, etc), doll collecting spaces, cottagecore spaces, nail polish and makeup spaces, travel spaces, historical interest spaces, science focused spaces, cycling and running spaces, and rock climbing spaces (I’m sure I’m missing some) have all been consumed by this, to the point of Jews having to leave because they don’t feel safe, and we’re supposed to act like that’s normal and not a coordinated effort of mass indoctrination, division that is hindering any possibility of progress, and proliferation of antisemitism? okay.

Wow. Literally what the post was about. Israel was not mentioned anywhere here and yet when you saw a post criticizing racists who hate Jews you immediately popped up like “how DARE you slander me like this?!” Well. I guess you were right. Clearly you are indeed an antisemitic bigot so I guess the post WAS about you.

A couple things are really racist (and also just plain wrong) about with what you just wrote.

1) Nazism is a specific ideology, not a catch-all phrase for “bad people I don’t like.” And that specific ideology was founded on genocidal hatred of Jewish people. And ultimately led to the genocide of at leas 6 million Jews. There is no Nazi party in Israel. That wouldn’t be possible. Ergo there no Nazism in Israel. You’re just using a common antisemitic slur. To call Jews Nazis is extremely offensive and racist in addition to being ridiculous and inaccurate. The conflation of Jews or Israelis with Nazism was pioneered by the Soviet Union in the aftermath of WW2 as part of their violent propaganda campaign to incite hatred of Jews and carry out post-WW2 mass pogroms and repression of Jewish people. It is antisemitic and always has been.

2) Also. Your post implies all Israelis are Jewish. In fact only about 70% of Israel’s population is Jewish. Israel is the most diverse country in the Middle East and regardless of heritage, every single Israeli is a “real” Israel. Only fringe bigots on the Israeli extreme far right would say otherwise. Erasing the existence of the many non-Jewish people living in Israel, including Druze, Bedoins, Armenians, Arab Christians, Arab Muslims, Circassians, Arameans and many others. It’s inaccurate like it’s wildly racist to say only a Christian of British decent is a “real” American it

3) Racist Jew haters and anti-Israeli xenophobes will often try to hide behind claims that they are being unfairly persecuted for “activism” or for “criticism.” This is, of course, ridiculous. But it’s a common tactic for bigots. Just like when conservatives get called out for making a transphobic comment they will try to claim that “humor isn’t allowed anymore” when really there’s nothing wrong with humor. There IS something wrong with dehumanizing trans people and promoting bigoted lies about them. Similarly, there is nothing wrong with criticizing the policies of the Israeli government or of any other government. However, what people like you do is not “criticism.” It is not criticism of a government policy to respond to a post condemning antisemitism by making a bunch of inaccurate and racist statements. You’re just a bigot.

You don’t anything about Israel. You’re not an activist. You’re a racist who saw a post about bigotry being bad and became enraged. You’re no different from a Conservative who loses their mind every time they see the phrase Black Lives Matter.

You don’t always have to be like this. You can change. You can better yourself. You can stop being filled with ignorance and malice. Look at yourself. Look at who you are. Look at what you’ve become - someone who spews hate because they saw a post on the internet condemning bigotry. You don’t want to be like that. Stop looking for acceptable targets to hurt and instead look at how you can help. Get offline. Go outside. Embrace compassion, love, education and nuance. Try to build harmony and unity.

And educate yourself. Here are a few good videos to start with.

A few housekeeping notes before the comments arrive:

No need to announce your departure. This isn’t an airport. ✌🏾

An insult in place of an argument is an ad hominem. Look that up while you’re looking up actual history.

Being gullible isn’t a flex.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s father acquired a textbook publisher in 1988. Holocaust evidence was presented at Nuremberg more than 40 years earlier. Chronology matters.

Israel is criticized every day. Stop saying it’s not allowed 😂🤦🏾‍♀️

Research requires testing your belief against contradictory evidence. Automatically declaring every document, witness, historian, and institution part of the conspiracy creates a closed loop where your belief can never be disproven. That’s called intellectual insulation.

And please retire “Enjoy your $7K, goy.” It’s played out. I wish someone would pay me $7K to share basic common sense.

Jewish people are human beings. Turning them into a shadowy explanation for everything you dislike is ancient scapegoating repackaged as independent thought. We can do better.

(sorry that somehow these didn’t come out uniform in size!)

what’s really remarkable is her combatting it. most don’t do that, which is entirely understandable. Jews on social media aren’t even expending the energy to respond to hate like this anymore (also understandable, I don’t either, you really can’t reason with people like this), it is exhausting, but it still means a lot to see someone be brave and try. 🤍

This is not foolproof, but it's how I killed SJP on my campus.

See, the thing everyone on campus fucking forgets is that "Israeli" is a NATIONAL ORIGIN, and that's a protected category under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which like... is wildly in danger in this day and age but that's not the point. The point is that anything that receives federal funds is vulnerable to a Title VI complaint, and you know who receives federal funds?

COLLEGES. UNIVERSITIES. EVEN PRIVATE ONES. Because you know what counts as federal funding?

STUDENT.

LOANS.

That's right: if your institution offers federal student loans, YOU CAN MAKE A TITLE VI COMPLAINT.

And because a Title VI complaint threatens a school's federal funding? They do NOT fuck around with them. They won't always be able to tell you the exact action they take (in fact, they'll hardly ever be able to tell you), but they WILL have to take action if your local band of antisemites is posting anti-Israel crap.

And how do you MAKE one? Why, through this extremely handy portal! But your school should also have a process for making one, and if you have a diversity office or something akin to that, you can also have fun freaking them out by walking in and saying, "Hi, I'm here to make a Title VI complaint." Usually this will cause people to get managers. Federal discrimination complaints are a big deal.

But THIS asshole adds a new twist because they're also an antizionist dishonestly cosplaying as a Jew.

To those of us who grew up in some sort of yiddishkeit, the choice of words here is jarring and an obvious tell.

"Shmendrik" traditionally refers to a foolish, inept, weak, or insignificant person. A helpless "nincompoop" or "pipsqueak." It's historically a mild, almost comical insult, popularized by early Yiddish theater. More than once, I've heard a grandparent refer to a grandchild affectionately as a schmendrik.

So this gonif is engaged in a high-stakes, furious internet argument involving terms like "Zionazi" and "Nazi's wet dream," and drops "shmendrik" into that rage.

This is the linguistic equivalent of aggressively yelling 'you absolute poopy-pants!" or 'you utter silly-billy!' in the middle of a screaming match.

A putz like @anarchic-judaism doesn't realize how fucking weird it is because they've never, ever spent time around actual speakers of Yiddish and probably couldn't pronounce the word aloud to save their life.

If you're unfamiliar with the tactic or have never run into @stoptheantisemitism, please understand: This is a non-Jewish user or bot who created an account to launder their antizionist/antisemitic arguments by posing, badly, as a Jew.

They grab a few Yiddish words off Wikipedia or Urban Dictionary to build instant cred among sonei Yisroel, but because they lack cultural context, they drop words like shmendrik into inappropriate contexts where the tonal flop makes their already-ridiculous mask fall off entirely.

Jumblr friends: Please don't waste any time on this falsher yid. They're a cheap chazer mit a kosher pisk. A khokhem be-layla.

No Jew who knows anything at all about their own history would say this:

They're a cosplayer. They're trying to ragebait you.

Please stop giving this mamzer the attention they're looking for.

Block 'em like Lego and move on, fam.

They said this in a post including that it’s okay to kill Zionists and they explicitly support all armed resistance

The same people who’ve spent years turning “AIPAC” into a dirty word suddenly have absolutely no questions. Fascinating.
