That being said, if you are more upset at a dude who attacked two jews for existing as jews getting his head kicked than two jews being attacked for being jewish, you really need to sort out your priorities.

You can in fact care about both whilst also understanding that the focus does need to be on antisemitic violence.

The focus needing to be on antisemitic violence is extra needed because whenever there is antisemitic violence, it often gets pushed aside whilst the accompanying issue gets the limelight.

Another example is the response after Bondi. A lot of non jews almost completely ignored the antisemitic violence of the terror attack in favor of highlighting the need for better gun control. Which again, yes better gun control is good, however the attackers had explosive devices. They would've just created more bombs or got black market weapons if the gun control laws were already stricter.

My heart is with all the victims and their loved ones, as well as the broader Jewish community in Australia. May the memories of the victims be a blessing.

That is exactly how prejudice evolves itself into something systemic. By changing the rules of who is allowed to be seen clearly. And this is where it becomes personal.

Most people reading this do not think of themselves as antisemitic. They would never use a slur. They would never straight out and openly deny someone’s humanity. But that is not how this shows up anymore. It shows up in smaller decisions we make as progressive and left leaders these days. In what we excuse. In what we scroll past. In which deaths feel complicated instead of tragic and unacceptable. In whether we instinctively see a person or a position when we hear the word “Zionist” or “anti-Zionist.”

You can oppose Israeli policy. You can reject Zionism. You can defend it. None of those positions require you to sort Jews, Israelis, Palestinians, Arabs or Muslims into categories that determine whether they deserve empathy. If your framework depends on deciding which Jews are acceptable and which are not, or which civilians matter and which do not, then the issue is not that your politics are controversial. It is that your reasoning has already crossed a line that civil rights traditions were meant to prevent. The civil rights standard was never agreement. It was consistency. No collective guilt. No dehumanization. No conditional empathy.

We already know how to apply these principles. We are watching what happens when we fail to. The only question is whether we are willing to apply them when it challenges our own assumptions. Because if we cannot, then all we have really done is learn how to recognize injustice selectively.

And selective justice is not justice for all."

To antisemites it did not matter that I was not a Zionist, what mattered was that I wouldn’t let them be antisemitic against the “wrong” type of Jews. If the “wrong” type of Jews are Zionists then I’d be labeled one if it was anti-Zionist then that’s what I’d be labeled. So now I don’t really talk about it because what is even the point anymore?

ragebait is NOT antisemitism (i see this all the fucking time). ragebait is NOT spreading something offensive about 1 person in particular. ragebait isn't shutting down deaf people when you spread lies and misinformation about THEIR language.

I place a hand to my left ear, the one that was fucking a snow white horse in a Texas plane.

Fuck the snakes, I'm becoming one with the tenderloins.

Woah there, buddy boy. Don't make me get out the belt.

Please, let me introduce you to my good friend, oncoming traffic 

You’re basically putting cattle baby juice in leaf water 

You can roll up the window and remove the child abortion

What the actual historical hellhound is that?

I orphaned another baby but that’s okay I need food

I have a magical ability to make anything fit

We’re gonna go ride Dutch

You get everything confused with syphilis 

You butterscotched fuck

Bro’s gonna give himself liver issues by the time he’s twelve

It smells like how I imagine the inside of a toilet to taste

Are you gay light? Diet gay? Maybe a little bit of Korean spice on the side?

I can put my sexuality in there

You’re not a very good Jew -
