It's never antizionism not antisemitism.
These are comments in Taika Waititi's comment sections. All he did was sign a letter for the hostages to be released. He has not said anything in support of Israel's actions.
Taika Waititi is a Jewish man.

As you can see from the first picture, he is being told that he can no longer make movies sharing Māori experiences because he signed a letter for hostages to he released. A Māori man is being told not to share Māori experiences because he signed a letter for hostages to be released and because he's Jewish.
This is sickening. It's disgusting. It's trying to erase his indigenous experiences as a Māori all because he's Jewish.
All the other comments are also equally gross.

as a Jew I find the antisemitic trope of the Wandering Jew endlessly fascinating and there’s a version of it that lives rent free in my head that I can’t get out
because yes, we have been cursed—not by G-d, but by man; not for anything we’ve done, but for libel against us—and the curse antisemites have forced on us is that we must wander forever. we don’t get a home, here or there. we aren’t allowed to put down roots in diaspora, but we aren’t allowed to return either; regardless of which we do, the nations try to drive us out and impose their sentence on us: you must wander some more
there is a deconstructed version of the Wandering Jew that I want to reclaim, not as a testament to our sin but as a witness to the nations’, how they’ve treated the wanderer in their midst. on some level, a witness to how the nations treat all wanderers: Jew, Roma, bedouin. but ultimately, a testament to the libel & persecution we as Jews have endured & persevere through
this Wandering Jew is a weary old immortal forced to wander by hatred that goes before him through the nations, who has seen those nations come and go, empires rise and fall, and bears witness to our plight through every one, waiting for injustice to be righted so he can finally rest

I was watching the X files and I saw this episodes "kiddush" which was essentially about a golem coming to life to avenge a Brooklyn charedi man who was murdered in a hate crime. And when the FBI agents go to talk to the known antisemite who was connected to the murder, he verbatim said
"But there's one thing you can't call me, and that's a Zionist collaborator." (Taken directly from the script)
And I just. That's what I'm hearing all the time in my city from so-called leftists. That's what I'm hearing from communities I used to trust. And in this episode of a show from the 90's, it's coming from a man complicit in the murder of a charedi man for no other reason than living while Jewish.
How did we fall so far so fast?

Speaking out against antisemitism in the pro Palestine movement is important, speaking out against the horrible acts of Hamas is important too, speaking about the value of israeli lives is also very very important. Just make sure that if you do, especially if you do extensively, make sure you don´t forget to mention the 33,800 killed innocent lives, the more than a million and a half displaced human beings, the two million people facing hunger, and the millions of millions who have no human rights, and no freedom. They are important too.

so if people didn't hear what happened in calgary, essentially:
Tumblr media
yes, that is a nazi salute. yes, that is the leader of Iran.
what is not visible in this photo is the pro-palestine protestors he was standing with. in the videos that circulated, you can see a blonde woman in a keffiyeh walk up to him, say something, and then walk away. there are people with keffiyehs and pro-palestine signs all around him.
they are the people who concern me the most. they claim to be pro palestine, pro justice and peace and equality. a man, standing in their protest, did a nazi salute, and none of them stopped him.
i'm a jew and the descendant of holocaust survivors and victims. if someone did a nazi salute in my vicinity and it was safe to do so, i would go bat shit on them.
so why did no one stop him?
i feel like is is emblematic of how antisemitism spreads among pro-palestine leftists. they don't set out to be antisemitic. they don't want to be antisemitic because its wrong to be prejudiced. but the antisemitism begins to slip through the cracks. they usually don't know enough about jewish people, jewish history, or antisemitism in general to counter it. the effect is slow, but damning. eventually these antisemitic symbols lose their meaning, become less important. so even in the face of something this overt, people don't stop it.
all i can say is that its truly disgusting that people turned the very real, longstanding oppression of palestinians by the israeli state into an excuse to spread violent, hateful, and harmful rhetoric at the expense of jewish people around the world.
and i would also like to say: my grandmother grew up in communist poland, raised by a holocaust survivor mother who had lost her own mother and sisters, likely to the nazi death squads east of Poland, the Einsatzgruppen, as they were trying to flee. Her father may have never met her, having died in the polish people's army around the same time she was born. all her life she wanted to come to canada, because it was safe and bountiful. she brought her family here, and i've always felt lucky for it. now we have people throwing up nazi salutes in our streets to celebrate the attempted bombing of our family members.
antisemitism is a plague.

Terrible news from australia: crazed incel joel cauchi, motivated by extreme misogyny, launched a stabbing attack in the bondi westfield shopping mall that resulted in the deaths of six people—five of them women—dozens injured, and left a baby girl motherless. The only man killed was a security officer, Pakistani immigrant Faraz Tahir, who bravely and tragically risked his life trying to stop Cauchi.
Unfortunately, due to the insane media climate these days, propagandists seized on the attack to try and push an agenda, lead by notorious tankie fascists simeon boikov and maram susli; they spread falsehoods claiming that a jewish man named ben cohen (one of the most common Jewish names btw) was responsible for the attack, motivated by an apparent hatred for gentiles
Of course, seeing as how much reach antisemitic pro-kremlin accounts have online and off, it didn’t take long for Australian news outlets to pick up the rumour and spread it without verifying. The Benjamin Cohen whose pictures were found and circulated to serve the rumours called the news to retract the accusation and apologise, which they did, but the damage was done, and the torrent of harassment Ben and his family received prompted him to hire a solicitor to sue boikov and susli.
With the possibility of facing actual consequences, boikov and susli (better known by their online handles That Aussie Cossack and SyrianGirl, respectively), have backtracked and claimed they are actually the ones being defamed. It bears noting that boikov’s ass has been parked in the Russian consulate for a while now trying to claim asylum due to the Australian government trying to arrest him for assault, and susli opened a crowdfund for her legal woes 🤡

I've written before that the Iranian attack on Israel is pretty unprecedented, and I was thinking in terms of the history of this specific conflict, but it's actually true on a bigger scale as well.
They launched at least 331 airborne weapons that Israel has intercepted as well, more if you take into account what was intercepted by other countries. Most of the weapons were launched out of Iran itself, but some were launched by Iran's proxies from the territories of Yemen and Syria.
Now, the suicide drones? Take about 8 hours to make it from Iran to Israel. The cruise missiles? Around 4 hours. And the ballistic missiles? Those are the ones that would cause the most damage and would be the hardest to intercept, they actually leave the Earth's atmosphere, travel in outer space and re-enter right before they strike, and they move at such a speed that they make it from Iran to Israel within just 10 minutes. So imagine what it means, that Iran launched all of these weapons at different times, from different locations, but coordinated everything to make sure they'd all hit Israel at roughly the same time. That was done in order to tax our defence systems, to maximize how much would get through and succeed in hurting Israelis. Despite that, 100% of the drones were intercepted, as were 100% of the cruise missiles, and 99% of the ballistic missiles. Only one person (a 7 year old Muslim Bedouine girl, Amin al-Houssani, was injured, please keep her in your thoughts) was directly hurt (though over 60 more people were indirectly harmed).
Defence systems usually aim for a success rate of between 80 to 90% interceptions, so the fact that this MASSIVE and UNPRECEDENTED attack was launched, designed to penetrate all of the defence systems that could be employed against it for maximal damage, yet Israel and the coalition that came together (including Arab countries) to stop Iran's attack managed to make sure that less than 1% got in? Unbelievable. The attack was unprecedented, and so was the defence. I can tell you, even some of the Israelis who worked on developing our defence systems for years felt the success rate had actually exceeded their expectations. That said, the attack was bigger than anyone in Israel thought it would be, too.
Just to really drive home what a ballistic missile is like, this is just the engine carrying part of this ballistic missile, which was intercepted over the Dead Sea (Iran launched at least 110 at Israel, 99% of which were successfully intercepted):
Tumblr media
But even intercepted airborne weapons cause damage. Little Amina was hit by debris from an interception. I'm sharing a vid, cut from the news (it's just for visuals, so I didn't translate it), which shows one of the few hits inside Israel (filmed by Israeli Muslim Arab Bedouins, you can hear one of them calling in panic to his friend, Ramadan), and then the debris that the IDF collected and removed by trucks, to give you an idea of the size of these pieces of weapons, falling from the sky, after they had flown across 1,600 kilometers (~1000 miles):
Bottom line, it's no surprise that the Israeli Chief of Staff made it clear that there will be an Israeli response. We don't know yet what kind of a response it would be, or when it will take place, but there will be one. This kind of attack from Iran just can't be met with silence. If it were, that would imply acceptance of the massive and unprecedented nature of the attack, which in themselves constitute evidence that Iran very much did intend to cause Israel real damage.
Tumblr media
That means if Israel accepts the attack with a shrug of, "hey, we inetrcepted it, and it only cost us 5 billion shekels, so we can just look the other way," then next time? Iran will launch an even bigger attack, to try and get past this remarkable defence. And there will be a next Iranian attack, no matter what excuse they use in order to launch it.
Tumblr media
In related news, the Iranian-funded terrorist organization Hezbollah has launched two attack drones at Israel today, which did not set off the warning alarms, crashed in Israeli territory, caused a fire, and wounded at least 3 people.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, this is a reminder that while the Islamist regime of Iran has had a lot of victims since its inception in 1979, no one has suffered at its hands more than the Iranian People. It's no wonder that there are signs of Israel support in Iran, even under that oppressive dictatorship. Here's a graffiti seen in Tehran:

With this dangerous resolution, Congress is trying to redefine the word “antisemitic” to mean “antizionist,” and this resolution could easily be configured to find its way into social media sites, workplaces, onto college campuses and to media outlets, to censor pro-Palestinian speech, much like the unconstitutional anti-BDS legislation that already exists in many states.
Antizionism ≠ antisemitism

Stop saying you care about Palestine when what you actually mean is that you believe Jews are acceptable targets.

I don't think goyim understand how the memory of Yisrael works and I don't think they feel understand or realize the ramifications that their responses to Simchat Torah pogrom has.
The collective memory of our people is a long one and we do not forget. We hold onto all that happens. The good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly, the joyful and the sorrowful.
It is not a matter of grudges or slights, but a matter of the importance of history, memory, and learning.
So we do not forget, but a time will come, soon, where goyim will forget how they responded to Simchat Torah pogrom and in turn expect us to forget as well.
But we won't because we don't and so they will surprised. Just as they always expect us to forget and are always surprised when we have not.
We carry long memories. We do it for those amongst who can not, for those who are no longer with us, and we do for the future generations.
So many of us have pulled away and/or back from places and people because we no longer feel safe and many of us will not return even those places and people forget.
What we have seen and heard has deeply scarred us and added more scarring and trauma to scars and trauma we already carry.
Trust that is so easily broken is not so easily restored and that trust is gone.
There are many ramifications to what happened on Oct 7, 2023 and we will see those ripple out for long time even when we are the only who remember.

HURT - DON'T HEAL THE ANTISEMITE
Tumblr media
The attempt to disabuse the world of antisemitism has been a monumental failure. 
Despite decades of educational outreach things are the worst they’ve ever been. 
The hatred against us is at fever pitch and from multiple fronts. 
The alleged gains that have been made teaching the world about the Holocaust and antisemitism have not been worth the investment of time, energy and resources. 
The facts speak for themself. 
We are in the most precarious position any of us have ever experienced, with most of us wondering where our future lies.
To increase our safety we need a new approach.
This new approach requires us to stop projecting our Jewish belief in education onto the world. We need to stop expecting the world to react in the same way we do to the facts, reason and appeals for compassion we present. We need to stop assuming antisemites are simply ignorant and must confront the truth that they simply hate us and that they enjoy hating us.
We need to make this a less enjoyable pastime for them.
The future of Jewish safety is not in teaching the world to be better people - but in teaching them to watch their step. We need to stop attempting to teach our haters to be nice to us, but rather teach them there’s a cost to their transgressions. Putting it bluntly: we need to teach the world that we will fuck up anyone who tries to hurt us. That is the lesson we need to be pushing. It matters not one jot that they know where antisemitism leads for the Jews. We need to show them where antisemitism leads for them, the perpetrators of antisemitism. They don’t need to know what happened to the Jews in Auschwitz so much as they need to know what happened to the Nazis. They need to know the Nazis got fucked up, killed and destroyed. They need to know that Germany got levelled, destroyed and went up in flames. They need to know that German bodies and minds got broken beyond recognition. Antisemites need to know what happens to the antisemite - not the Jew. And we need to show them.
Those who attempt to kill us must be neutralised - and perpetrators of antisemitic speech and action need to have their lives attacked and diminished so that they experience the greatest personal cost we can extract. They need to suffer consequences to their reputations and their livelihoods. They must be shamed, exposed, humiliated, damaged and degraded. They must experience emotional and mental discomfort. The law must be used to punish them. They must lose their freedom if applicable. Whatever means is available to hurt them should be used to the fullest extent. Their suffering must be harsh and without pity and serve as a deterrent to others. If others don’t pay heed to that deterrent - then they must also suffer. And it must be without pity.
Do we risk antisemites not liking us?
They already hate us. 
Now let them fear us.
And some of you must stop this narcissistic impulse to want to redeem your abusers. This has nothing to with making the world better. It’s about satisfying your saviour complex and making you feel self-righteous. Stop prioritising your abusers. That in itself is a symptom of the abuse you’ve experienced. You have every right to prioritise yourself. Your abuser has not earned a right to your ongoing time and energy. 
Furthermore, trying to generate a couple of feel good stories about an antisemite turned good is an inefficient use of our resources - something we can ill afford when so many active enemies must be thwarted.
It also sends the wrong message. There is no deterrent if they know abusing us is a revolving door that offers them automatic reputational rehabilitation. 
Let’s hurt our haters and move on.
Let it be seen they have been hurt.
We need to stop educating people to like us. We need to teach them to fear us. We need to show them we are mean, nasty and will inflict pain without remorse. 
We need to hurt antisemites - not heal them.
Do some of you feel a little anxious hearing this kind of talk?
Does a Jew being aggressive and spiteful make you feel uncomfortable and anxious?
Good.
That’s how our enemies should feel.
Maybe then they’ll think twice about fucking with us.

We must start to hold people and nations to account. Nations who "stand with Palestine" yet have a history of antisemitism and Jew hate.
Spain, Portugal, and Ireland are very good examples of this.
Spain and Portugal expelled their Jews, and forced other Jews to either convert or die. These policies wouldn't be relaxed until the 1800s.
Ireland had pogroms, and the nationalist party Sinn Fein had newspapers who accused Jews many antisemitic stereotypes.
By far the biggest one however is Russia. Russia not only has ties to Hamas and the IRGC, but has a deep antisemitic history. Pogroms, the pale of settlement, the cantonist system, the black hundreds, antisemitic legislation etc.
There are several other nations who haven't owned up to their antisemitic past, and still don't support Israel's right to exist as a nation and the home of the Jewish people.
Sorry if this hurts your feelings, but it has to be said. There's a clear pattern between nations who support Israel and owned up to their past, and those who don't and haven't owned up.

Jewish culture is being sent a swastika by a teenage neonazi and when venting about how triggering and shaken I was, being told by “friends” that I was overreacting and also talking about “inappropriate subjects”. I don’t see how it could be both. For an environment full of people who claim that “all trauma is valid” and that “bigotry is unacceptable”, Jewish culture is seeing firsthand that Jews really don’t count. Simone Biles would be impressed at the level of cognitive gymnastics that I see in leftist antisemitic spaces these days, they should really try out for the Olympics
