The reading comprehension and overall common sense on this website is piss poor.

I wish Jews in media were allowed to exist outside the realms of Hanukkah or the Holocaust

Goyim you do realize that going "all zionists ahould be killed" allows people who move the goalpost on what is considered a zionist, kill jews for being jewish, right?

Like Yuval is a perfect example of moving the goalpost. He has described himself as an antizionist, helped raise money for people in Gaza - more than the average person too.

Yet he is being called a zionist online for speaking out about holocaust denial, which is antisemitism, as well as the jews control the world trope, which is also antisemitism.

To a fuck ton of people online, he is considered a zionist, despite literally not being one. Therefore, to a fuck ton of people, he deserve to die.

Whether or not you yourself, want all jews dead, if you think all zionist jews should die, you are at the very least enabling those who move the goalpost to include all jews, in who they want dead, to A) think it's okay to want all jews dead and B) to act on their thoughts.

And like, this is ignoring how zionists should not even be subject to being killed as it is low-key facist to kill someone for their political opinion + 80% - 90% of the Jewish population are self identified zionists so even wanting the majority of jews dead for virtue of political opinion is also fucked.

People need to realize how dangerous this thinking is.

Realizing that the majority of leftists I know would probably ditch me if they knew how many of the prayers I recite simply include the word “Israel”

What if I say that the fact people think Jews are white is exactly the proof that the holocaust isn't taken seriously or taught about correctly

Several months ago I spoke at a conference in Florida attended by nearly 4000 Jewish teens. A panel moderator asked me what gives me hope. I was going to say "4000 Jewish teens," but I was fourth on the panel and the other panellists already mentioned it. I had a sudden flash and realised what gave me hope: "I imagine myself in conversation with my great-great-grandfather. And I say to him, 'You know, there is some antisemitism at Harvard.' And he responds to me in shock, 'There are Jews in Harvard?' And I say, 'Yes, but some of them hate Israel!' and he says again in utter surprise, 'There's an Israel?' "

Someone shared this in my conversion groupchat and I thought y'all would appreciate it too.

Palestinian and Israeli singers raise their voices together in a moving rendition of “Home” by Phillip Phillips. Despite the violence surrounding them, they sing out for peace, justice, inclusion, and equality.

Learn more about the Jerusalem Youth Chorus here

We are the Jerusalem Youth Chorus: Palestinians and Israelis raising our voices to push back against the violence surrounding us—to reject war, occupation, and terror, and instead sing out for peace, justice, inclusion, and equality. We don’t all share the same opinions—and have hard conversations about them every week—but we do share the same future, no matter what the politicians say. In JYC we have a rare chance to truly hear each other, and that’s what makes the chorus a home for all of us. Every kid deserves to grow up with that same safety and dignity. We know we don’t have the power to single-handedly stop war, but we also know that the reason war continues is because people think there is no alternative. We are the alternative.

Pinned Post -- Please Read!

Beetle They/He 26yo Converting to Judaism! Likes: Baking, cats, art, learning, groan-worthy jokes, and choreographing silly little dances

Notes:

If you can't be normal about Jewish people without scanning their entire internet presence to see if they're an ~Evil Zionist~, I can promise you, this isn't the blog for you. I also encourage you to research more about Jewish history, the history of Zionism, and the weaponization of Jewish terms and concepts by antisemites.

This is my blog to be open about my Jewish journey, and explore conversations + connections with other Jewish bloggers. I block people without apology if they make me feel unsafe or unhappy during my time here.

Other intersections of my life might come up, especially in relationship to Judaism. Examples include my experiences as a trans and disabled person.
