We need more angry Jews.
Oct 7 showed us we are far more alone than we would care to admit. Yes, we have some wonderful allies, Gentiles that will stand with us through thick and thin. But we have spent too much of our thousands year history lowering our heads and policing our emotions - yes just like how other minorities can’t be too loud, too joyous, too sad, too blatantly themselves.
But unlike other minorities, we lack anger. Jews are constantly trying to appeal to logic and reason, even in the face of horrors like the Pogroms, Shoah, the Intifadas, and Oct 7.
The black community for example has taken the “angry black wo/man” stereotype and turned it. “Yes [we] are angry. We have had centuries of injustice and far too little reparation. We deserve to be angry until the system is made better”
We Jews need to be angry.
I don’t give a fuck. I am a proud Jew, and part of that expresses as a proud Zionist. I believe in the right that my people have to dwell in the lads that our prayers yearn for, that our grand fathers and cousins died protecting when seven Arab nations waged war because they’d couldn’t stomach us as neighbors. The same land that our beautiful Tanach and G’marah were canonized in. The land where only with in those borders do some of our most sacred religious practices reside. The land where you literally can’t turn over a rock without finding thousands year old archeological evidence of a synagogue or Jewish emblem.
You deny us our right to sovereignty, to identity, to history because you cannot stomach that we will always refuse your gods. Jesus, Zues, Alah. You have all tried and failed to eradicate us. You have tried and failed to assimilate us. All you do is strengthen us when you return our desire for peace with violence.
And I am done asking politely for your understanding or acceptance.
I am an angry Jew and I will not stop being an angry Jew until the world accepts that we are not going anywhere. That we will live and have descendants that through out the course of history out number the stars in the heavens or the sands of the earth as promised by God to our forbearer Avraham Avinu.
