If you think:
- the Magen David (star of David) is a hate symbol
- the Shema (which begins with “Shema Yisrael” or “Hear, o Israel”), the primary Jewish declaration of its religious theology, is Zionist
- that using Hebrew makes someone “sus”
- that Jews that are visibly Jewish due to their jewelry or dress should just “stop wearing things that make it obvious” for their safety
- that it is acceptable to protest or threaten a Jewish synagogue, school, or community center. . .
You can keep your “Happy Hanukkahs” to yourself. They’re empty, meaningless, and frankly offensive.
They say art imitates life for a reason.
Very tragic that this case more truer than ever
Let's consider a theoretical scenario where I was consuming some sort of fictional media, such as a book, about a conflict.
And let's just say that, in this conflict, there are two main groups fighting against each other.
The first group, which initiated the conflict, is proud in declaring their goal of destroying the entire people of the other group. They have slaughtered the other group in their own homes, taken them hostage into slavery, raped them, consistently indoctrinate and use child soldiers, admit to sacrificing their own civilians for their cause, violently mistreat their own civilians, use human shield strategies, and seek to maximize civilian casualties for all parties involved.
The other group, meanwhile, is the opposite. They proudly cherish life, protect all civilians involved to the best of their ability, provide medical services even to captured enemy combatants, simply wish to retain the land they are indigenous to, and just want to get their people back, and remove the hateful and violent other group from power (without aiming to take over in their place permanently).
And if, in this fictional media, people would popularly and irrationally deny history and reality in order to skew the morality of the latter group, and the popular stance was to justify and support the former group,
I'd believe the piece of media simply too irrational and too plain in their portrayal of good and evil to be believable.
And yet, that's not a poorly written fictional media. That's our reality, somehow.

“wHeRE’s tHE pRoOF!?” The pro pally’s ask as they ignore the actual proof right in front of them:
To all those blaming Israel for the plight of Gaza, Hamas just said they can’t “find”/give back the 40 hostages to initiate a ceasefire for their own people.
I had to draw this little guy
Just a reminder that Valentine's Day isn't a secular holiday and that there should never be any expectation to celebrate any non-secular holidays.
Keep non-secular holidays out of popular culture expectations.
(Regardless of how you think about it or celebrate it, Valentine's Day did not have secular origins, making it an inherently non-secular holiday.)
Oh my gosh, my art changed so drastically since starting college!
(and some other influential factors over time caused this too but I'd have to go on about that...)
