ignoring all of the…mess that’s written in this. “the israeli government has responded by sending two planes, presumably to bomb a hospital.” do you people hear yourselves or do you just type random words and hope they work

israel and the netherlands are allies. i know these people have a fantasy of all of israel’s allies, especially america, suddenly changing their minds and just attacking israel in an act of revenge or whatever. but do they seriously not understand how ally ship works? are they this stupid?

Muhammad heard our stories, liked them, wrote them down wrong, claimed they were about his new religion, got mad when Jews told him that was bullshit, and proceeded to massacre the Jewish communities of Arabia.

I hate antisemitism for ruining the one annual event us Jews have in this city. Im probably gonna end up going 9 hours north to go to the Auckland one because they still did it last year and I would hate to miss my favourite event of the year.

I love it so much because its a chance to not only meet other Jews, but to bring my non-Jewish friends and share my culture with them.

I just hate that goyim can have massive parades throughout the street thar inconvenience everyone and have big Diwali and Eid events at massive stadiums that are postered eveerywhere to advertise, but Jewish people cant have this one thing. We have to go indoors and not tell anyone where its at and have insane amounts of security and everything.

Erev Rav, a Jewish organisation in Amsterdam, denounces the authorities' handling of the violent Israeli hooligans and sets the record straight against the claim it was 'anti-semitic violence'.

And like, either way you spin it, as just anti israel or anti jew, it's still fucking disgusting and sickening.

Like you can boycott the Israeli soccer team for playing and be upset at that, and boo at people for supporting them, but to actually attack the supporters?????? That's like 10 steps too far.

And not all of the supporters were Israeli, there were Dutch and other European jews there, showing up to support the team.

Assuming the only motivation is being anti israeli, it's still absolutely sickening and wrong to attack Israelis and people supporting an Israeli soccer team for literally supporting a soccer team. Like call for a boycott of the Israeli team, protest their ability to play in the Netherlands. But to attack their supporters? That's fucked up and too far.

And this certainly isn't freeing Palestine. This isn't telling jews who are thinking about moving to Israel to not move. It's not telling Israeli jews to up and leave israel. It's telling jews both diaspora and Israeli, that Israel is the only safe place for us. Which should not be the message people are portraying, but it is.

And I don't want to scare monger and go "Israel is the only safe place for jews" as A) it shouldn't be and B) it's not. That is just the message people around the world are sending, intentional or not.

And whilst being anti israel seems like the main motivation, there is heavy antisemitic undertones because of the message this attack has sent. Like you can't see this and go "erm it's purely because they're anti israel". Because there has been no documented attack on a sports team supporters because of the teams country. And if there has been, which I will concede if I've missed one or two, like it's not common and this would then be one of the first instead of the first. Even when kiwis protested the springbok rugby tour here in NZ during aparthied, there wasn't any mass attacks. You're telling me that the thing which sets Israel a part from other countries, being the only jewish state in the world, plays no part in this pogrom at all? Nah, you'd have to be actually insane to think that

gen z men getting pulled into alt-right pipelines through andrew tate, joe rogan, elon musk, jordan peterson etc

the gullibility and stupidity of half the country voting against our collective best interests

the broad effect social media has on public and common good

lazy minds and lack of empathy

outside-country interference (trump and elon’s connections to russia and the amount of bots from other countries spreading misinformation)

But then eventually, I’ll have money for the bike, and whenever I get called out, I’ll just speed off, and, sure, maybe I crash and die in a gutter and the police can’t figure out why I have hundreds of fake phone numbers stuffed in my jacket and it launches a huge investigation that becomes sort of a local legend, but you know whose problem that is? Not fucking mine.

I'm super glad, obviously, that this is the case for many of you. But I do think we should be ringing the alarm bells. Because while you enjoy your grocery trips and post office in relative peace (as you ought to), here is a VERY incomplete list of things I have dealt with in the last 11 months.

-assaulted on my way to class, followed, spit on repeatedly (magen David necklace)

-professor took me outside of class and told me I needed to denounce my Judaism (I mentioned in passing my dad's family in an anthropology class)

-same professor refused to accept my final paper for reasons that did not match up with paper, email full of dogwhistles

-same professor told everyone to attend the protests and "teach those zionists to know their place" she is a Black Latina young professor. Yep.

-another professor straight up refused to accept any assignments that mentioned Jewishness (they were assignments about our families). Gave a student who submitted nothing except a picture of a Palestinian flag full marks. Failed me. I am an all As student, btw. Forced to drop.

-the chair of the anthropology department threw my complaints wabout said professors away without due process. His social media is full of blood libel.

-had to miss my finals as I could not physically get to them due to the protests

-followed and harassed in stores

-synagogue was vandalized multiple times

-called a kike while things were thrown at me

-protestors stood outside of my apartment patio with final solution signs

-new apartment, away from campus: friends of roommates harassed me constantly, to the point I could not use common spaces. Roommates told me that's his right because it's his "political view." He didn't even live there.

-new roommate moved in, less than 48 hours before she attempts to stab me, after learning I eat kosher style. "...kosher? kosher?! FUCK YOU" stab stab, etc. Bitch that was my good knife.

-the other roommates tell me to gtfo of the home I'm renting, keeping my rent ("you people can afford to lose money") and destroy a good portion of my belongings while cursing to me random nonsense about Israel. The police took 25 minutes to get there. We live in the middle of the city.

-fun fact: I had never mentioned my political stance to these people and it's not on my face-out social media (very bare bones profiles)

-been disbelieved by everyone I told this to including the police, my school, the leasing company, and my now ex best friend of 7 years

-cursed at in a store when I asked if there was a kosher section

-told nobody likes Jews because we bring down the vibe and have a victim complex. My knuckles are healing just fine after that, btw, thank you for asking! She is not.

I don't know how to request the 7th off from my school without basically incriminating myself with a threat of violence. There is no world where I just sit there when a classmate says "happy October 7th."

When a Jewish person passes, I see other Jewish folk says "May his/her/their memory beca blessing".

My glaring question is this: Is that appropriate for me, a gentile/goy (no idea what to call myself) to say that? Or should I just stick with "May he/she/they rest in piece"?

Silly question, I know, but it's been on my mind for a long while.

Not a stupid question!

A lot of Jews don't like it when a non-Jew says "rest in peace" about a dead Jew, and would definitely prefer to hear "may their memory be a blessing". I personally don't think it's inappropriate for you as a goy to say "may their memory be a blessing" and I think it's really touching that you thought about that. As for other Jews, Jews aren't a monolith. I think a lot of Jews would agree with me but if you encounter a Jew that would prefer you say something else about their deceased loved one, obviously you should respect their wishes.
