(Hebrew/transliteration/translation)

ממד— לממד, לממד, לממד נילך…

לא לזוז, לא לזוז, לא לזוז ולחכות… (-ות)

mamad— la’mamad la’mamad la’mamad nilekh… loh lazooz loh lazooz loh lazooz ve’lekhakoh-ot…

Mamad—to the mamad, to the mamad, to the mamad we’ll go, don’t move, don’t move, don’t move, and wa-ait…

this “lol Hamasniks have dyed/‘weird’ hair” thing is a talking point/stereotype I keep seeing from Israelis, and I would respectfully ask that y’all move on from it.

I have no idea if this is also the case in Israel (tho judging from photos/video of Tel Aviv Pride I’ve seen, it’s way less common there than here, so I’m giving the benefit of the doubt) and I can’t speak for other countries, but here in America, colorful or atypical hair is an incredibly common form of queer “flagging”—essentially, non-verbally signaling to other queer people that we are also queer. the “weird” (i.e., non-conforming) hairstyles may also be as a part of a person’s gender expression.

someone with these styles may not necessarily be queer, they may just be alt. but alternative subcultures are often drawing from queer styles as a way of bucking gender norms, and many alternative sub cultures are deeply tied to the queer community as a result.

the prevalence of colorful & non-conforming hairstyles at these protests is due to the prevalence of queer people & alternative subcultures in leftwing spaces, because those are the spaces that are not actively hostile towards us for being queer. so when you rag on Hamasniks for having undercuts & colorful hair & piercings, you’re picking on them for looking visibly queer.

Fuck it, my headcanon about Toko being a Bais Yaakov Girl with a dybbuk inside her might not be a headcanon after all/j

Edit: I just noticed that is the menorah from the temple or a replica, at least considering it has 7 branches.
