"I had no interests. I had no interest in anything. I had no idea how I was going to escape. At least the others had some taste for life. They seemed to understand something that I didn’t understand. Maybe I was lacking. It was possible. I often felt inferior. I just wanted to get away from them. But there was no place to go."

– Charles Bukowski

ngl i wish anyone other than me would talk about how jkr is Islamophobic?

don't get me wrong, every single thing she's being called out for is valid and she's a nasty horrible person but every time i mention she's Islamophobic people brush me off? so is that not worth outrage as well?

anyway cw: Islamophobia and transphobia, 2 for one special, because this is an excerpt from her shitty crime novel

Sorry for the irritated tone but I am tired of people ignoring me. I don't get why it's not a bigger deal for people that she 1) Demonised Muslim women who choose to fully cover up. 2) Implied they were predatory in nearly the exact same way she does with trans women. 3) Implied that the acceptance of fully covered women in women's spaces puts other women at risk.

all this in a country that is already hostile to Muslim women /immigrant women?

and im sorry but what will it take to get people to realise that this conversation is also worth taking up space in the universe of discourse people are having about this shitty woman?

when fanfic authors say that they don’t decide what happens in the story that the characters make the decisions i imagine it like this:

writer: *sitting down* type type type type *squinting at the screen* type type type

writer: *gasp* WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT…… type type type

CW: antisemitism, pale of settlement, pogroms, genocide, cultural erasure

I don't think goyim can really conceive of how much Jews actually hold back in our criticism of antisemitism in media, and when you hear us it is often because we see a dangerous message that you don't... Yet.

I have a complicated relationship with Tim Burton's rendition of The Corpse Bride. I love it as a beautiful piece of stop motion art, but it isn't what it should have been, he took a Jewish story from the Pale and with intention stripped it of its Jewish origins. This alone is incredibly antisemitic. The criticism you will hear has probably been "this is a Jewish story, it should have retained its Jewish elements" but have you heard why we feel strongly about this story?

The story of the corpse bride is incredibly important to me and was born from Jewish trauma and Christian violence. Mobs would routinely attack Jewish weddings, they would murder brides and they would bury them in unmarked graves by the roadside still in their wedding clothes, they reasoned that without Jewish wives there are no Jewish mother's. Jews are intrinsic to the story.

It is antisemitism to take our story, about our pain, at the hands of non-jews and strip it for "useful" parts, in fact it is heartbreaking every time.

We are often forced to pick our battles and fighting a battle over a movie that has already been released by a director with a cult following is not worth it, you only hear us speak up in numbers when the antisemitism may lead to another century of violence, because raising our voice means picking a fight, because so many of you already see our pain as inconvenient and it is exhausting to never be heard.

IOF warplanes are attacking Damascus right now.

The only democracy in the Middle East, bombing a country that was struck by War thanks to Western involvement, and a disastrous Earthquake while being subjugated to sanctions and International ignorance of the humanitarian crisis there.

The terrorism of this genocidal state has no limits.

I*rael must end

This is not the first time they bomb Syria. And due to the situation there, Syria never retaliates. You can check my syria tag. And the number of times i’ve been here telling people it was being bombed. Because Western media will not tell you about that. Only we will.

People in Syria aren’t even done removing people from the rubbles.

When have you heard about Syria bombing the airport of Ben Gurion ? Or ‘Tel Aviv’ ? Or idfk which illegal settlement on Palestinian lands ? Never. It’s always them being bombed.

I have one wish in this life and it’s to watch I*rael crumble to ashes. Fuck Zionism. Fuck the West. Fuck your genocidal state. May we’re all free from you within our lifetimes.

I agree with your post and I'm not a Zionist or anything but I'm finding it hard to reconcile the idea of Jewish people getting kicked out of Judea like that is also unjustifiable in my opinion

i... don't really understand what point you're trying to make here tbh

no one is denying that 2000 years ago or so jewish people were kicked out of their land and that that was definitely a terrible thing that happened. that's not the point and it's not justification for palestinians to be systematically expelled from their homes and oppressed in order to create an ethnostate for jews a couple millennia later

1) it's literally none of the palestinians business that jewish people were kicked out, because guess what? they weren't the ones to kick them out in the first place, it was the romans. and more importantly some of the jewish people who didn't leave and assimilated into that society later converted to christianity or islam, palestinians are very likely to be descendants of those jewish people who did not leave during these expulsions. this is further corroborated by genetic studies.

2) i think people are confusing what it means to be indigenous to a land. that was the point of that whole post in the first place. genetic ancestry alone doesn't make you indigenous to a land, being a victim of colonialism does.

i think the case of liberia probably demonstrates this concept the best. the african americans who colonized liberia definitely have genetic links to west africa, maybe even liberia specifically, that doesn't change the fact that they colonized liberia and the colonized people in this case were called indigenous liberians while the colonizers were called americo-liberians. the fact that americo-liberians could have very well descended specifically from liberia 5 or 6 generations prior doesn't justify their colonization of liberia.

indigenous is a term applied to people who are victims of colonialism and as such have become a minority in their own land.

if jewish people wanted to move back to their ancestral homeland, they could have done so by living along side palestinians, not by expelling them from their indigenous homes and creating a system of apartheid to keep them oppressed. before the nakba, jewish refugees were already seeking refuge in palestine but not as colonizers, in fact these jewish people were some of the most outspoken about their opposition to zionism and the creation of a jewish ethnostate.
