Hi! Iām sorry to bother you, but I found your posts by accident and I just have a few thoughts as a fellow Jew (Iām mixed but my matrilineal Jewishness is Jewish Arab/Arab Jewish). This is aimed at the gentiles in your asks, but white USAmericans need to realize that theyāll always be inherently more privileged than Jewish people. Point blank. Thereās no real discussion to have in regards to that. And thereās a LOT of commentary and jokes being made from USAmericans (mostly white) that is framing themselves as the victims or centers of this ethnic cleansing and apartheid. They are WHITE. Iām not a fan of them appropriating a lot of the humor or commentaries the actual oppressed and ethnically cleansed peoples are making, because when white gentiles do it it is ABSOLUTELY punching down and antisemitic. Westerners in general need to realize they have systemic power behind their words and actions that inherently disadvantage Jews. Iāve been very vocal about people derailing pro-Palestinian posts, and Iām going to be JUST as vocal about people derailing Jewish people venting about people using Israel as an excuse to voice their already preexisting antisemitic views. My Jewish identity is both Arab and Jewish. They donāt care about Arabs either. The same mayo gentiles beating their chest falsely accusing Jewish people venting, like yourself, of being a Zionist or genocide apologist are the same ones who before this past month was openly anti-Arab around me. So itās like š¤·š»āāļø
White gentiles are not the oppressed in this dynamic, they are the oppressors and they need to start remembering that.
Jewish people halfway across the world shouldnāt be having to constantly condemn Israel in order to be allowed to vent about western antisemitism. Plus, goyim donāt even hide their antisemitism when even I, an anti-Zionist Jew, have been accused of being a Zionist when Iāve called out random white people using antisemitic tropes or imageries. If you want my honest blunt take, white gentiles are frothing at the mouth hoping that Jews, Arab, and Muslims just wipe each other out while they sit back and watch from their ivory towers in the US eating popcorn and scrolling through tiktok. Iāve been very critical of the white supremacy when itās derailing Palestinian posts (even when done by my fellow Jewish people), and Iām also very critical of the white supremacy when itās derailing your (or any) posts about antisemitism. Iām not trying to explicitly state the anon is a white supremacist (though I have some concerns), but ā¦ I was very annoyed by their implications youāre a closeted Zionist, just because youāre Jewish and venting about the Nazi shit thatās been on the Nazi app, formerly known as Twitter. Youāre not derailing posts about the genocide or ethnic cleansing. Youāre not even āboth sidingā genocide, either. Youāre just a random Jewish person venting about the western world getting off to the idea of a bunch of Jews dying. A lot of people on here and Twitter arenāt even saying Israelis anymore theyāre bluntly saying Jews. And as another Jewish person yourself, I know youāve seen that vernacular shift first hand, especially judging from your vents.
Iāve had white people on this hellsite defend calling Jewish people they donāt like reptile people because āwell Israel is calling Arabs animalsā and I had to go āuh excuse you you are WHITE and Iām being dehumanized by both sides so thanks for that.ā
Itās inherently antisemitic to police Jewish people being afraid of the rising antisemitism in the west and itās also disingenuous to erase white gentilesā and white countriesā involvement in this issue. It doesnāt miss me people are underplaying what white goyim have done and are still doing to contribute to the apartheid and genocide. All of this youāre vent vagueing about is the same exact stuff anti-Zionist Jews have also been complaining about for literal decades.
Iām sorry I ranted for too long, but I wanted to show solidarity with you. Iām sure thereās a lot you and I donāt see eye to eye on (2 Jews, 3 opinions), but at the end of the day I have your back because I know exactly what youāre talking about. No one is going to be antisemitic to you and get away with it š¤š¤š¤
I am so sorry people are wearing their iron crosses in your asks and Twitter feeds. And Iām sorry for wasting your time with all of this, I just felt you needed another Jew in your corner
thank you so much for taking the time to send this, I really do appreciate it. š§”
I agree with everything you said here. itās tiring seeing goyim think they can be apart of jewish conversations and are owed a seat at that table just because they believe all jews are white and therefore all white people are apart of the same group. I donāt expect them to truly understand everything bc how could they while not being jewish themselves, but the basic respect they give to other minorities is all Iām asking and I donāt think thatās unreasonable.
