I feel sick to the stomach reading about the pogrom in Amsterdam and I am filled with unspeakable anger about all the leftist "activists" who, over the course of the last year, have contributed to creating an environment where Jewish people feel unsafe with their brain-dead and hateful chants to "globalise the intifada" and "from the river to the sea".
Ohhh you're all so upset about Republicans being nazis. "Punch a nazi!" Yeah, right. But what did you do about the nazis in your own camp? The ones cheering on terrorist organisations, celebrating rape as a form of resistance ("Me too" unless you're a Jew?) calling for violence against the Jewish community and the destruction of the only Jewish state in the world?
You know, it would have been entirely possible to support the cause of the Palestinian people and raise awareness for the suffering of the Palestinian civilians without going full-on antisemitism and siding with Islamist groups who don't give a shit about their own civilians. But that would have required nuance, it would have required educating yourself on the issue and reflecting you own internalised antisemitism.
I stand in solidarity with the Jewish community around the world.
Never Again is Now.
Why did “be critical of your media” turn into “find all its flaws and hate it” why did people become allergic to FUN
If you're upset that Elon Musk threw up a Nazi salute today, but have spent the last 15 months harassing (((Zionists))) in the name of Gaza/Palestine, then you're not mad about the Nazi salute, you're just looking for an excuse to dunk on Musk.
You're not an ally against Nazis, you never were, and you're not fooling anyone who actually is.
Its frustrating that people are going "hey look at all these things which trump is doing which is similar to what Hitler did when he was in power, we are so fucked" and then just not mentioning the rise in antisemitism.
Like antisemitism was a major part in why hitler was elected into power.
Hitler blamed Germanys issues on jews. During his election, he pulled back from spouting antisemitism to make himself look more sane, but all the issues he campaigned on were issues that were blamed on the jews.
He didn't say "jews are ruining the economy but I can fix it", he knew that people were already blaming jews and campaigned on that.
According to the ADL, only 3 months after Oct 7th, antisemitism increased 360%. And it's not like rates of antisemitism has started to go down.
You cannot talk about how facisiam in the US is on the rise, compare it to the rise of hitler and not mention the rise of antisemitism.
Jew hatred was essential to hitlers rise to power and his actions. You cannot talk about jewish history and erase us from the picture.
went to wikipedia to fact check somethings about a guy from ww2 era history and it had been edited beyond belief to erase this person's connections with nazi germany. the second google result is the holocaust encyclopedia page all about his horrible crimes in the nazi regime. but on wikipeida, his description is vague and mild and barely mentions it. it's so worrying. I hate it. what happens when gen z only reads wikipedia pages and denounces any sources that are "too zionist" like a holocaust museum's encyclopedia? thank g-d for jewish historians, what would we do without them, but i'm so so scared that our history is going to be rewritten because no one will listen to us on our own history.

Saying this these days really is like yelling at a brick wall but here goes again:
You cannot gleefully take part in the dehumanisation of an entire group of people based on their nationality, their ethnicity, what have you, rejoice in the suffering of that group, and be on the side of human rights, ethics and morals.
You just cannot. But so many of you try to square that circle. You want so badly to be seen as righteous, that when people call you out for your violent, rancid rhetoric, you throw a paddy and hurl insults through inboxes (always on anon, though, because you’re spineless fucking cowards).
Made a little something on slur reclamation.
