I Was Talking To This Guy Yesterday And He Said "i'm Pretty Sure I'm Straight But I Might Be A Little

shanah tovah, y'all

people who see celebrities displaying basic humanity and empathy towards israelis and leave comments like "this is heartbreaking" "i'm so disappointed in you" "i looked up to you" i despise you with my very being 🫶

I don't think people on this website understand what "you should love jewish people more than you hate nazis" means

do you hate nazis because they're fun to hate on and easy to ratio? or because of the material harm they have caused, are causing, and will continue to cause? when you see a nazi, do you see an acceptable target? or do you see an active threat? what do you do to help jewish people outside of these situations? anything at all? do you have positive views on judaism? do you try to better yourself by listening to jewish voices on topics of bigotry?

I'm not going to complain about a nazi getting punched for being a nazi, but the issue isn't as simple as just punching nazis. you need to love jewish people more than you hate nazis if you want to address the root causes of antisemitism

my little cousin called my kippah a helmet and i said “yeah it’s to protect me from the ayin hara” and he said “what?” and i said “the evil eye” and he said “oh like the death star” so we’ve established the following:

the death star is the ayin hara

we wear kippot to protect us from the ayin hara, i.e. the death star

you know how sometimes you go through the roughest moment in your whole entire life and then you look up and it's like. oh. the moon is still there

saw this in tel-aviv yesterday

walking into erev rosh hashanah services tomorrow like "what a fucking year, my man"

can’t wait to be blamed regardless of what happens

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”

We need to articulate what modern antisemitism feels like. Sometimes it’s being called a slur or harassed in public. Sometimes it’s graffiti or posters on a wall. Sometimes it’s violence, and firebombs and gunshots. Sometimes it’s hiding your screen in a college class, afraid that people will see the Hebrew writing on it, or tucking in your Magen David, or lowering your voice when talking about Judaism in public. Sometimes it’s staying silent in conversations or omitting your Jewish identity from conversations, maybe even entire relationships. Sometimes it’s being demanded your opinion on the Israel. Sometimes it’s loud but often it’s quiet and it’s everywhere
