I've been working on crocheting a highly textured, multi colored parasol, and I've still got at least another week or so of work to do before I call it good, but tonight it was finally big enough to get loops around the spokes of the umbrella frame.

#ohhh gorgeous #crochet #fiber art #jewish artists

some Israelis are racist warmongers, others have spent their entire lives in the pursuit of peace, and most are neither. Israelis have 9 million different personalities, views, experiences, and opinions. Homogenizing us all as inherently evil or forcing us to pass a litmus test before you decide to treat us like humans is antisemitism and xenophobia. Sorry to break it to you 🤷🏻‍♀️

This morning, it was discovered that, during the night, two dozen of red handprints have been painted on the Wall of the Justs.

The Wall of the Justs is part of the Parisian Memorial of the Shoah: it is the list of the names of nearly four thousand men and women who helped protect and save Jews during the Occupation of France by the Nazis.

Tell me again how the red handprint is "definitively not used by antisemites or for antisemitic purposes"? And tell me, please, how defacing this memorial (which is not even to the memory of Jews, but to the memory of those that stood up against the Nazis) will help Palestine in any way?

... Maybe you can't, because this is proof that, for some person, it is not about Palestine at all. They don't care about bringing food or medical help to Gaza. They just see an opportunity to express their own hate.

Everybody has been saying this, and I will concur: most of these people are either antisemites, or uneducated ignorants who are so short-sighted they don't even realize how bad their own actions look, and thus soil the very cause they want to defend.

At best, they wanted to say something about how pro-Palestinians are "the Resistance" but failed monstrously at carrying the message because they DEFACED A SHOAH MEMORIAL. At worst, they wanted us to understand what is the only thing to be read here: "These people who saved the Jews in World War II have blood on their hands now." And this is such a vile and nauseating message.

#it is sickening that these antisemites are spewing hatred on a memorial to the non-Jewish French people who RISKED THEIR LIVES to save Jews #what these Jew-haters are saying is that any non-Jew who dares to protect Jews is a target for violence as well #they really are trying to isolate Jews from our allies so they can come in for the kill ... just as antisemites have always done #just as the Nazis did #that is why the Righteous Among the Nations is such a small group of people ... and why we Jews treasure our allies SO MUCH #because when you throw your lot in with us - you are treated as a Jew by those who seek to destroy us

Leftist Goyim are really out here going: "Make McCarthyism Great Again, but only target Jews this time!"

Yo Commie wannabes! Learn history. Y'all are disgusting.

One thing I think that happens as we try to defend our existence in not only one specific land but globally as well is using the very real identities some Jewish people have as stand-ins for laughable stereotypes .

Two examples-

"When will they learn that not every Jew is some white girl named Rachel from Brooklyn lolol?"

"Not everyone came from Poland so why would we go back there?”

Absolutely, the diversity in Jewish culture is not as represented and discussed as it should be. However, that shouldn't find its place in the discourse here. yeah, there's more people than what American media depicts as the be-all-end-all of Jewishness. But that girl Rachel in Brooklyn is terrified and her community is being constantly threatened. Her "whiteness" or "Brooklynness" doesn't negate that. At all. Often, it excuses the damage when it does happen.

And what about those people who came from Poland or other Eastern European countries? Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, etc. Whose grandparents escaped- or those whose family didn't ? Where they were always considered foreigners? Countries that were so influenced by its Jewish residents that now have so few because those same governments and people murdered them ? And in that case, would it be acceptable for the descendants of people with barely a connection to where their ancestors stayed in diaspora to go back to?

I know people don’t mean it like this. This is such a weird time with everything that’s been going on. I’m not trying to go after people coping with bad jokes or quips. But let’s not canabilize each other ? Let’s hold everyone and their backgrounds with equal value and love as we fight this plague of antisemitism .

#if you're a Jew you're a Jew #if you make fun of a Jew for being “white-passing” you are just being a racist antisemitic bigot #prev tags >> #there used to be a kind of saying #“you're jewish if you're born jewish [ethnic/genetic]; convert/ger [religion]; or if they come to kill you when they come to kill the jews” #i think we all realised recently that the last one wasn't a historical relic joke

We all knew it would come down to this. Which should represent the era they defined? Whose show stopping set piece is more impressive? Which show is the best 80’s Mega Musical?

#Being a Jew is not for the weak ... but we are not Jews with trembling knees #Ireland has a population of about 2000 Jews - and it wants to make itself completely Judenrein #Ireland also praised Hitler and sent Germany condolences for his suicide so ... business as usual I guess #the best way to make Jews flee your country is to pull shit like this #because we Jews know that you're working yourselves into a murderous frenzy and the next step is that you'll start slaughtering us #Yo Ireland - your Orientalism and your Jew-hate are showing when you do shit like this #You're also finding common cause with terrorists which ... given Ireland's history is NOT a good look #and yes .. I am aware of Ireland's history of supporting Islamic terrorism #I guess Ireland is nothing if not predictable #It's just that it is EXTREMELY Orientalist for people in Ireland to co-opt the challenges faced by the Palestinian people #and to find common cause with HAMAS - the Islamic terrorist organization that suppresses the Palestinian people

Glasgolem, 2022

earlier this year i was honored to be asked to do the cover for issue #1 of Golem Zine, a series showcasing voices from lesser-known Jewish communities around the world. this first issue celebrated Jewish life & culture in Glasgow, and creating this cover involved a deep dive into the history of Glaswegian Jewish art & architecture.
