Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me

little thingy from the other week, stuff on my mind

[feste-the-mad]

Honestly fuck these antisemitic cowards. I wish we all lived closer together so we could protect each other!!

I reposted this on my instagram story:

Someone I have been in classes with responded with:

“An intifada does not incite violence against Jews. Intifada means revolution. A revolution is necessary when Palestinians are being actively massacred and forcibly removed from their indigenous land. It is called Genocide.”

So I replied:

“Do you know what the intifada was? It was suicide bombings and violence and destruction. You can isolate a word all you want but it doesn't change the meaning to a group of people who it hurt”

They left me on read. Either they didn’t know and didn’t know how to respond or they knew and don’t like that they were called out for it. Either way they clearly didn’t understand the message of the post which was: “what you are participating in is making me feel unsafe”

One of the Columbia Encampment Leaders on video being antisemitic

Going back to Columbia as that's the big story about university encampments atm. One of the leaders of the encampment is on video being antisemitic and not in the throes of protest, but in their dorm/apartment. They filmed themselves and posted it with the following quotes: "Zionists do not deserve to live comfortably and Zionists do not deserve to live."

https://x.com/ShelleyGldschmt/status/1783560978774520255 and “Be glad, be grateful, that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists. I’ve never murdered anyone in my life, and I *hope* to keep it that way."

(Yes I know this is a right wing pundit, but the video speaks for itself.)

This is the leadership for the encampment, this is the leadership for the protests on Columbia campus, this is the message they are spreading. Hiding behind the term "Zionist" is not fooling anyone at this point of the conflict. And we know their identity (when you're the face of a movement and posting videos like this it's hard to keep your identity concealed), they're class of 2025, meaning that once again my post about age playing a factor comes into play. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, they only want to kill about 75-90% of the Jews out there (and that's a low estimate). But yeah, these are totally peaceful protests. /s

If Einstein was alive he would leave America now. Why do I assume that? Based on these points:

1. We see Jewish students and professors being denied entry to universities, exactly like Germany in the 1930s. One of the main reasons he left Germany was due to his academic career being affected by these bans on Jews.

2. Left Germany when antisemitism rose. We are now experiencing the biggest surge in antisemitism in America since the holocaust, and as opposed to the 1930s in the US, this time it's led by the mainstream and not fringe political cells.

3. Albert Einstein was a zionist. He supported his people's aspirations to reestablish their homeland in their ancestral land, and donated to the cause. He was even offered the position of the first president of Israel, but refused. He left his library to the Hebrew University after his death, and you can even go over his books in the University if you want, it's still there!

4. Jews are already leaving the American academy, and Israeli academy came out with a statement today that any Jewish person in academy is welcome to join and will receive support in any way needed to fit in and find a similar position. When you're denied education in one place but welcomed at another, you tend to choose those who want you, like the US has welcomed academic refugees from European universities in the 1930s.

I think it's safe to say that he wouldn't be happy with the direction the USA is taking. Just be careful, because last time Jews left a place due to antisemitism, they invented the atomic bomb. When Jewish minds come together, they achieve great things, and you don't want those minds to leave your country...

I can’t get over how the students at Columbia screamed “Go back to Poland” to American Jews. Not even Israelis (though that wouldn’t be okay either). American fucking Jews.

Way to tell me that you don’t want me in your country and think my family and I would be better off dead. You’re such an activist, gleefully screaming for the ethnic cleansing of your country’s own populations.

Get absolutely fucked, you monsters.

Drake shouldn't call himself black. He renounced the right to call himself black when he chose to support genocide

Firstly, holy fucking shut wtf anon

Secondly, being jewish doesn't mean you relinquish being any other identity. You can't just stop being black. Even Michael Jackson didn't stop being black, he just had vitiligo.

Thirdly, the has not made any statement whatsoever on the conflict. He has not said he supports anything. You just assumed this because he's jewish

[feste-the-mad]

drake distanced himself from being jewish. I don't think he considers himself one anymore

False. Drake has not spoken whatsoever on whether or not he considers himself jewish or not.

I could only find one article about this from a hip hop news site and it was a dude saying "Drake is distancing himself from being jewish because he hasn't made a statement on the war"

Not every single jewish person needs to make a statement. Assuming so is bad.

Making "speaking about the war" a requirement for being jewish is fucked up

[feste-the-mad]

oh NO

[feste-the-mad]

the issue is less ‘what do you stand for’ and more ‘who are you willing to stand for it with’
