Don't bother coming here.

Cue the most terrifying realization of my life.

second alien scientist: maybe we should add more crayfish? it ate the whole population in one sitting, that was kind of a surprise.

me, without looking up from scraping a caribou hide: i can hear you, assholes.

alien scientists: (staring)

me: yeah, i learned your language. you keep sitting there talking about me like i can’t hear you, that’s gonna happen.

first scientist: fascinating. we knew you were arguably sentient, but… (making notes)

second scientist: why are you eating everything? your food requirement in your home environment was less than half this.

me: i didn’t have to catch it myself, you idiots! you yoinked me out of the middle of a camping trip! i bought all that food at a store! i bought my CLOTHES at a store. i bought my BEDDING at a store. I DID NOT HAVE TO KILL MY OWN TENT.

me, finally looking up, shaking a flint knife at them: what the hell kind of scientists could go to earth and not notice the dominant species lives in cities? did you just swoop by in a hurry and grab everything out of the park without looking?

scientists: (silence)

me: … oh my god.

i figured people would know this, apparently not, but the good majority of jews are scattered across the world, not just in israel (hence the term diaspora). additionally, when you make statements like this, you’re erasing palestinian jews.

we are not a fucking monolith! implying we are only helps zionism! you sound like the idiots who claim all muslims are terrorists!

One of my partner's parents is a rabbi and they were in TEARS this week. Their synagogue has gotten so much hatemail over this(compounded by the fact that the synagogue was attacked last year).

And yet the rabbi spent most of the past week advocating for Palestine.

The Zionist government is not representative of Jews.
