#NOT erasing the complicity of the jewish people ESPECIALLY in today- but follow the money

[statementlou]

tbh as an israeli, i was so embarrassed that they put the flags there and i wish they didn’t do that. I don’t support that at all.

❤ and that's why YOU are my people, not those flag wavers- it's definitely my identity as a Jew that makes me extra outspoken about this issue in particular because like you say I feel personally embarrassed on behalf of my kin, and a responsibility by association to speak out against the israeli state's genocide. And it's made so much worse by the way people think israel= all jewish culture, or that to be anti-Israel is anti-semitism which, as @captainrayzizuniverse pointed out in tags (YES! well said and thank you!! you are also my people❤), is a tactic of zionist propaganda used to shut down criticism of the Israeli state. I think anon meant well and wants to keep an eye out for anti-semitism during this terrible time of its rise everywhere and I appreciate that! But that's why it's important to talk loudly and constantly about the fact that taking a stand against anti-semitism does not have to include defending the Israeli state- and indeed to be broadly anti-racist, one must call out Israel's colonization and genocide in Palestine

#I can't cover hundreds of years of history here but I will briefly reference (and encourage people to read about it more) #the fact that zionism and a lot of zionist propaganda has always come from goyim colonists who wanted to carve out space in the middle east #and have used our struggling people and exploited us at our most vulnerable times in order to realize that #NOT erasing the complicity of the jewish people ESPECIALLY in today- but follow the money #we were originally just fucking pawns as usual and to this day a lot of goy colonizer gov'ts #are a big part of that propaganda wing and it REALLY isn't because they love or support jewish people #and anon has a point too in that *I* know what I mean; but some people are just straight up anti semitic #so it's good to be clearer #blah blah blah #sorry not really what yall are at this blog for but anons manged to poke me in a Special Interest whoopsy #also you know: important #israel discussion #free palestine
