May I Give This Ukrainian Bread to All People in This Big Wide World, 1982, Maria Prymachenko

Does it feel good?

Does it feel good to finally have a reason to be the ones who hate, instead of the ones who are hated? Does it feel good to get up and go out in groups and parade around, screaming at any Jews you pass? To send messages to Jews online telling us that we deserve to die, that we are a threat to you and your families and your children?

Does it feel good to be the one who stands up and talks about how there is a dangerous ideology that is threatening your way of life? That is threatening the whole world? Does it feel good to look at Israelis who have adopted Hebrew names and call them the name YOU think they should be called, because they "don't look" Middle Eastern enough to you? Does it feel good to corner the random Jew and tell him that he should just kill himself for daring to exist in public LOOKING like that, so openly Jewish, why does he have to shove it in your face, down your throat? Doesn't he know he should be ASHAMED to be like that?

Does it feel good to push the Jews out of your spaces? To makes it clear that we are not welcome? Does it make you feel better to be able to exclude someone, finally, to FINALLY be able to say "No, YOU don't belong!" after a lifetime of being told you have no place in polite society? Does it feel righteous when you say that Jews, I mean Zionists, are dangerous and should all be put down?

Does it make you feel any less hated when you say the same shit the very people who hate you have been saying for years? Of course, I imagine it must. Because you have made it about someone else, finally. That hatred isn't about YOU now. No, now YOU are the ones who are right, and why can't everyone see that? Now you are the ones who have someone to hate, and you are RIGHT in hating them. You are so CORRECT in hating Jews, there is no way you could possibly be wrong! You believe everything that is thrown at you that allows you to hate more, to focus solely on your righteous, mighty crusade against the bloodthirsty Zios. You're so, so very right, aren't you?

Now, I don't think it's likely. The various Jewish languages became so endangered due to the Shoah and the exodus of Mizrahi Jews from Muslim countries, around the 1940s. I mean, not all of them, but many dialects of Yiddish were killed in the Shoah, Ladino and Yevanic also suffered a big hit due to it, and Judeo-Arabic is nearly gone now with most of its speakers having moved to Israel or France. Yinglish exists, but I think it's still more of an English dialect than something into itself.

What connects these languages goes deeper than a few shared linguistic features. They all emerged from the same historical reality: the dispersal of the Jewish people from their indigenous homeland in the Land of Israel. As Jews were conquered, massacred, exiled, enslaved, and scattered across the world, they adapted the languages of the societies around them while preserving Hebrew and Aramaic as a shared foundation.

Yet even as Jews developed different diaspora languages, they never lost Hebrew. For nearly two thousand years, Jewish communities across Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and beyond continued to pray in Hebrew, study Hebrew texts, and express their longing to return to Zion in Hebrew. A Jew in Poland and a Jew in Iraq might not have shared a spoken language, but they shared the language of their prayers, scriptures, scholarship, and collective memory.

The existence of Jewish diaspora languages is itself evidence of ethnic cleansing, exhile and survival. Had the Jewish people not been repeatedly driven from their homeland, these languages likely would never have emerged at all. When Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel was reestablished, they were not ordinary immigrants. They were survivors and refugees, the remnants of communities devastated by massacres, persecution, expulsions, and attempted annihilation across the globe. Millions of Jews never got the chance to return because they had already been murdered. The survivors arrived speaking different languages shaped by centuries of exile. Hebrew was the one language that belonged to all of them.

There's a certain poetic symmetry in that. The violent exile and forced dispersal of the Jewish people from their ancestral homeland led to the development of numerous Jewish diaspora languages, alongside centuries of murderous violence, oppression, and repeated attempts to erase the people of Israel through the rewriting and appropriation of their history and culture, and through persistent dehumanizing narratives that cast Jews as thieves, villains, demons, parasites, and as the ultimate scapegoat for oppressive demagogues across religious and political ideologies. Their survival and return made it possible to preserve these languages. The language that connected Jews throughout centuries of dispersion became the language through which the Jewish people reunited, rebuilt their national home, and preserved the linguistic heritage of communities that various imperial powers had tried to destroy.

The United Nations and Hamas: A Toxic Relationship? A close friend of mine from Gaza City, tortured nearly to death by Hamas, a well‑known activist against the group, and someone I helped evacuate during the war, was featured in the UN Human Rights Council’s report documenting Palestinian civilians: executions, torture, beatings, the misuse of medical facilities, and the terrorizing of women and children.

When he met with the UN investigation team, one investigator was openly sympathetic to Hamas and the “resistance” narrative, signaling from the start that she doubted his testimony. He then spent five hours convincing the rest of the team that Hamas had, in fact, tortured him, despite extensive evidence of his injuries circulating on social media and a medical examination confirming blunt‑force trauma consistent with organized abuse, not random violence or Israeli bombardment. He even had to walk the investigators, including Ms. pro‑Hamas, through how his case fits into hundreds of others across Gaza, and how Hamas itself has filmed and publicly released its own executions, beatings, and torture to terrorize the population.

There is at least one example of white Europeans being targeted by white European genocidal tactics at least a century before the Holocaust,

The fact that the Irish are generally understood to be at least as “white” as Jews if not more so has done absolutely nothing to ensure that everyone takes the explicitly genocidal policies enacted against them seriously as genocide, which, to be clear, they were, and

Perhaps “whiteness” vs. “non-whiteness” is actually a very poor metric for all forms of racialized hatred literally anywhere other than USAmerica (and even there tbh!)

Like obviously this take on the Holocaust is antisemitic and terrible, but more than that, it’s weird the degree to which it fundamentally relies on playing apologist not just for the Holocaust, but also for a tremendous number of other genocides as well. Why do you hate the Irish so much? Why do you hate Ukrainians? What did the Cherkess ever do to you? How about Serbs? Bosniaks and Croats? Is your contention that the Cathers weren’t white, or that their elimination in France wasn’t genocide? How many genocides will you die on the hill of defending just to make this ridiculous ahistorical Holocaust take sound even halfway reasonable???

They’re disturbing so here’s a line break

Saying her life doesnt deserve to be mourned...

Are you people that shameless?

That heartless?

That brainwashed by antisemitism?

Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis) you will be remembered as a fierce warrior for human/womens rights. I hope that you and your love are reunited wherever you are.

Meanwhile, Wilhelm Marr:

When he returned to Hamburg, his views had radically changed and he turned his venom against the Jews. His essay “Der Weg zum Siege des Germanenthums uber das Judenthum. (“The Way to Victory of Germanicism over Judaism”) was published in 1862. Marr’s conception of anti-Semitism focused on the supposed racial, as opposed to religious, characteristics of the Jews. His organization, the League of Antisemites, introduced the word “anti-Semite” into the political lexicon and established the first popular political movement based entirely on anti-Jewish beliefs. That publication attracted little attention, but he produced a bestseller 17 years later with “The Victory of Judaism over Germandom.” This often-reprinted political tract resonated with the German public at a time when the country was in economic and social turmoil. In it, he warned that “the Jewish spirit and Jewish consciousness have overpowered the world.” He believed that Jews had been engaging in an 1,800-year worldwide conspiracy against non-Jews that was about to succeed. He called for resistance against “this foreign power” before it was too late. Marr thought that before long “there will be absolutely no public office, even the highest one, which the Jews will not have usurped.” For Marr, it was a badge of honor to be called an anti-Semite. Marr and others employed the word anti-Semitism in the largely secular anti-Jewish political campaigns that became widespread in Europe around the turn of the century. The word derived from an 18th-century analysis of languages that differentiated between those with so-called “Aryan” roots and those with so-called “Semitic” ones. This distinction led, in turn, to the assumption – a false one – that there were corresponding racial groups. Within this framework, Jews became “Semites,” and that designation paved the way for Marr’s new vocabulary. He could have used the conventional German term Judenhass to refer to his hatred of Jews, but that way of speaking carried religious connotations that Marr wanted to de-emphasize in favor of racial ones. Apparently more “scientific,” Marr’s Antisemitismus caught on. Eventually, it became a way of speaking about all the forms of hostility toward Jews throughout history.

And this is just a random lesser known song that I absolutely love:

It was never about Palestine, it was always about Jew hatred

i was scrolling through a database of archaeological sites in israel and found…TEL YEHUD.

ein keshatot says it much nicer than i am about to: tel yehud was a jewish site taken over by christians and then muslims. the muslims then gave the area an arabic name referencing jews.

continues the pattern of arabs and muslims in general taking the land in israel and judea during their conquest and then after during the ottoman and mandate periods, renaming the towns arabic names, selling any land they stole back to the jews 99% of the damn time when we came back to buy it, and then modern “palestinians” and anti zionists cry out that the land was stolen.

no bitch. it was stolen FROM US. the olive stuff they love to talk about? WE grew olives historically from ancient times. WE traded olive oil. WE have had a continuous indigenous presence on that land for centuries.

It's a conspiracy theory, plain and simple, and rationalizing it to explain why you believe a conspiracy theory doesn't make it less unhinged, it just shows to what length you're willing to go to excuse antisemitic conspiracy theories.

also people dont seem to get how military aid works. it’s like a gift card: you cant use a starbucks gift card at macys, can you?

same applies to when the usa sends israel weapons and iron dome funding. israel gets a fucking gift card they can only use to spend on those things and the actual money comes back to the usa along with intelligence and tech. just like starbucks gift card money comes back to starbucks lmao.
