Keep encouraging these out of control brats to mess up their futures with this mess.

It is you and the POWER HUNGRY left wing EXTREMISTS who don’t give a damn about these kids! Lawlessness and antisemitism will not BEAT ANYONE!

The sooner you and they realize that, THE BETTER! https

i think the generally accepted idea that racism requires conscious effort and intent really damages how we talk about these issues in a way i don’t quite know how to work around all the time and i definitely don’t know how to fix

like, the trickiest thing about implicit bias is that it’s automatic and unconscious; a reflex action versus purposeful lashing out

someone acting on implicit bias will not think to themselves “i do this because i have grown up in and been educated by a racist society, and it influences me in ways i do not consider or recognize” they just sort of float along in the current, upholding the status quo on accident, very sure they have very good reasons for what they say or do or believe that have nothing to do with bias. that’s part of why it’s so hard to push back against; it’s stealthier and easier to write off.

if we start from a baseline where that’s an accepted part of the issue, i feel like we’d move the ball forward a lot easier

#this also applies to: transphobia/homophobia/antisemitism/islamophobia etc etc etc down the line #the obvious stuff is easy to point out and condemn #the subtler moments… not so much #some people won’t even accept implicit bias is racism too (or that it even exists)#and that’s honestly the stuff that really fucks us up in the long run imo #dont got a solution just many concerns wheeeee

everyone is wildly primed to have their anger and fear used against them right now, so while you are advocating and protesting, make sure you’re not falling into shit that is going to cause more harm

The genocide in Gaza is horrific. And it is a genocide. The words coming directly from the mouths of those in charge of Israel’s government are those that demonstrate an intent to utterly erase any Palestinian from Gaza, whether through displacement or death.

Do not let people convince you that this is the fault of Jews. Do not let yourself be swayed into conspiracies that Jews control Hollywood, or the government, or are otherwise collectively conspiring to do harm. It’s bullshit. It causes real, measurable harm and fear. It continues to make rising antisemitism worse. And not only does that antisemitism lead to death, it rightfully increases the fear of more horrors happening.

The attack on Oct 7 was also horrific. As is the rising antisemitism around the world. And the fact that there has been almost no space to honor those dead is a tragedy.

Do not be convinced that the only way to protect the Jewish people is to build a State where only one religious or ethnic group is allowed to live freely. Do not be convinced that safety is dependent upon protecting that State at all costs. When one State is allowed to defend itself by any means necessary, any means will be used and any action will be excused. And do not be convinced that all Arabs or Muslims are responsible for those atrocities. Islamophobia is also on the rise and is also causing real, measurable harm and fear.

Your anger and fear will be used to excuse horrors if you let it.

Don’t let it.

#Palestine #Israel #I find little value in talking on the internet to people who already have the same information and beliefs I do #but what I can speak to #is seeing a lot of people not want actual justice #but would rather put their chosen group or themselves at the top of the oppressive power structures #all the discussion about rising fascism #and it’s like we’ve forgotten that a huge part of it is capitalizing on normal people’s fears and anxieties #I can also speak to how western Christians are down for the destruction of Gaza and full control of Israel #but that’s a fun combo of xenophobia Islamophobia racism antisemitism and Desire for the Apocalypse #basically a hell of a lot more people than would ever admit #don’t consider any nonwhite non American non evangelical christians to be christians #and so they along with anyone who doesn’t fall into that group already don’t deserve to live #and they’re really pumped for god to destroy the world - including and especially the Jews - for not being that specific group

jewish antizionist follower and lol completely agree. he looked hot as ari and i also liked seeing the star of david necklace on him just bc it made me 🥹 but it’s quite literally a propaganda film. you can’t twist it any way. israel is the reason that so many arab and african jews became refugees in the first place too - they literally purposefully caused instability to force immigration just to make those jews second class citizens compared to the european jews in palestine (and palestinians aren’t even in the equation of citizenship,,) like it’s genuinely so fucked up. i hate how israel has stolen the symbolism of my religion and used my religion and my peoples trauma to justify putting another people through the same things we’ve been thru :// ugh lmao this was supposed to be about ari but turned into a rant.

but back to the point (if i have one idk if i do lol) chris is literally married to an antisemite, is probably going to pretend that he’s an ally to the jewish people because he supports israel’s right to indiscriminately kill people in gaza or some bullshit

agree with everything you said.

it’s especially sad that Isr*el literally used the trauma of your people, as you said, as fuel to incite more hate and to justify what they are doing. and it’s insane, it breaks my heart to see their strong strong propaganda and how hollywood enforces it on every end, and how so many people believe that what these zionists are doing is right. it’s just… absolutely heartbreaking.

#anon #and then on top of all that… CHRIS DUMBASS decides he’s gonna speak on Islamophobia and antisemitism like bro sit the fuck down

you guys, in fairness, Susan Sarandon did say that Jewish people being afraid was us "getting a taste of what it feels like to be Muslim in this country, so often subjected to violence" and while she's 100000% correct that Muslims in the US are and have been subjected to horrific violence, what people are rightfully pissed about is the implication that antisemitism in the US isn't violent. I don't think she should've been fired from UTA but she should definitely have to apologize for that.

#Susan Sarandon #after tree of life? after synagogues have been shutting down frequently for the last 5-10 years bc of bomb threats?#after the synagogue shooting in Texas a few winters ago?#after the rabbi was murdered in Detroit? after a little yeshiva boy was murdered in Denver a few years ago?#she looked at all of that and said #antisemitism wasn't violent before now #like. that's a problematic statement.#of course free Palestine and she shouldn't have been fired for being pro-Palestine but to pretend like she didn't say anything problematic?#antisemitism #Zionism #palestine #Israel #islamophobia

In the name of my friends, I am asking for help:

"Please SIGN and SHARE this petition against censorship at the University of Vienna! Give us back our lectures on Palestine!" 🇵🇸🕊️

TLDR: The University of Vienna is canceling lectures about Palestine, and disinviting scholars who have a pro-Palestinian stance; please sign & share the petition to show people everywhere care. The students' demands are listed in the petition. Anyone can sign.

Censorship surrounding topics of Palestine is nothing new - but in the last few months there has been an alarming increase in censorship, where artists have their exhibitions shut down, universities are setting up barriers to knowledge about Palestine, highly unserious articles with very serious accusations about academics are popping up, ... Now two lectures on Palestine were canceled, and another scholar was just uninvited for what he posted on his social media (pro-Palestinian content). A previous protest letter from the academic community was ignored by the University, and a recent sit-in there was met with an unnecessarily high number of police who intimidated the small group of protesters. That is the only reaction anti-Zionist protests yield. -> more info in the petition link

Why/How does the University of Vienna do this? Basically, any public criticism of the Israeli government is misconstrued as antisemitism. Then, the University disinvites the academics in question and cancels lectures, or forces lecturers to "adjust" their content. Scholars are being muzzled. The University doesn't want its students to learn about various perspectives on Palestine. Mind you, this is a public institution we're talking about.

The petition is intended to show the University that people disapprove of these practices. The argument of "safety" is brought up all the time, but at the same time, the University gladly erects barriers between their students and the valuable knowledge that would foster critical thinking and understanding. Palestinians are directly affected by this deadly apathy, and Muslim and Jewish people everywhere suffer from heightened antisemitism and islamophobia fueled by misinformation and myths. And at the end of the day, censorship is nothing but bad academic practice. It is an attempt to shape the minds of students by making information harder to access and to exclude scholars who talk about/are from Palestine. It's discrimination against Palestinians and it's shameless instrumentalization of Jewish trauma.

Anybody who is concerned can sign. Please share widely with any and all communities! The petition should go international! Every signature counts.

Say NO to all barriers to knowledge. 🇵🇸🕊️

#free palestine #signal boost #petition #censorship #palestine #gaza #west bank #university #pls idk how to tag shit..#academia #vienna

War is hell. But WAR IS NOT genocide.

Defending terrorist sympathizers is not helping them. Defending ANTISEMITISM, violence & destruction of property is not helping them!

Defending extremists’ out of control lawlessness IS NOT HELPING THEM!

YOU are not helping them!

also acting like judaism and islam are inherently more spiritual than xtianity, like theyre inherently more progressive than xtianity, like theyre the "good" ~moral~ religions to xtianity's "inherent evil" or that they arent forced on ppl is like, hilariously historically revisionist at best, straight up erasure and dehumanization at worst.

and im not an antitheist and im not saying judaism and islam are """bad"""" religions or that theyre inherently oppressive and again, it all comes down to the tools people use to enforce stuff like misogyny and homophobia, which religion has historically been a major one. (im a religious jew myself)

but like. if your solution to opposing antisemitism and islamophobia is to treat these complex, living religions, with many many (billions with a b in islams case) different followers and interpretations as simply "cutesy uwu spiritual and nonthreatning", youre not actually opposing antisemitism and islamophobia. like there are more options than the binary "blind hatered" and "blind romanticization historical revisionism" lmfao. youre just making it harder for jews, muslims, ex-jews and ex-muslims to talk about their experiences lol.

and like. the only way i can describe that phenomanon is 'europilled americel'

What is sad about this post, is that

@TalbertSwan

has been corrected many times, the longer video clearly shows the Black student attacking this man. So one has to ask oneself why is the Bishop refusing to take down this BULLSHIT down?

Why is he promoting the girl’s ANTISEMITISM?

Kinda crazy how any post I make about my experience of antisemitism — whether or not it mentions Israel — immediately becomes inundated with comments about Palestinian pain and suffering. Do you really not see how inappropriate that is, people?

When Black People post about their experience of racism, it’s not OK to come in to that space and talk about, idk, war in Sudan.

When Asian People talk about their experience of racism, it’s not appropriate to come into that space and start talking about China’s treatment of Uyghur people or North Korean aggression.

When Muslim people talk about their experience of Islamophobia, it’s not OK to come into that space and start talking about all the horrible things Isis or Al Qaeda have done.

When a trans person starts talking about their experience of transphobia, it’s not OK to come into that space and start talking about the latest horrible thing Caitlyn Jenner said.

Why are you able to understand this when it comes to every other group, but posts about Jewish pain are always filled with arguments about Palestine that blatantly imply that actually—my group, Jews—actually deserve the hatred we receive?

Spoiler alert: It’s because you’re antisemitic and will double down on your beliefs 100000 times to prove to yourself that you’re not, because actually confronting that you have hateful beliefs is too scary for you.

I’m sorry if it messes with your sense of self righteous inherent goodness, but you have and perpetuate systemic antisemitism just like you have all other forms of systemic bigotry. And if you don’t address it, that makes you a bigot on purpose. Deal with your hatred and stop being horrible to Jews.

Antisemitism and Islamophobia are very similar (if not the same), actually

So I was scrolling down the #palestine tag for any updates and important information, and I came across this:

And I think we need to sit down and talk about this.

I am a Muslim. I live in Indonesia, a country that is predominantly Muslim and a lot of Muslims here also support the Palestinian cause. Hell, even our government supports it by not only allowing Palestinian goods enter the country without fee, but also by taking in Palestinian refugees and even acknowledging the status of Palestine as a state while not having any political ties with Israel. The topic of the Palestinian tragedy has been spoon-fed to us at schools, sermons, media, etc., so your average Indonesian Muslim would at the very least be aware of the conflict while non-Muslims would hear about it from their Muslim friends or through media.

However, there is a glaring problem. One that I keep seeing way too often for my liking.

A lot of them are antisemitic as hell. The sermons I would hear sometimes demonize Jewish people. Antisemitic statements are openly said out loud on social media. Some are even Nazi supporters who would literally go to anime cons and COSPLAY as members of the Nazi party. This is not just an Indonesian Muslim problem, no, but this is a glaring issue within the global Islamic community as a whole. Today, this sense of antisemitism is usually rooted in general hatred towards the Israeli government and its actions against the people of Palestine, but antisemitism amongst Muslims are also rooted in certain interpretations of verses from the Qur'an and Hadith mentioning Jewish people and Judaism (particularly the Bani Israil), but in a way that is more ridiculing instead of life-threatening when compared to how antisemitism looks like in the Western world.

As someone who prefers to become a "bridge" between two sides in most cases, I find this situation to be concerning, to say the least. While, yes, it is important for us Muslims to support Palestine and fight against injustice, we must not forget that not every Jewish people support the Israeli government. A lot of them are even anti-Zionists who actively condemn Israel and even disagree with the existence of Israel as a state as it goes against their teachings. A lot of them are also Holocaust survivors or their descendants, so it is harmful to think for one second that Hitler's actions and policies were justified. It's just like saying that Netanyahu is right for his decision to destroy Palestine and commit war crime after war crime towards the Palestinians.

As Muslims, we also need to remember that Jewish people (the Yahudi) are considered ahli kitab, i.e. People Of The Book along with Christians (the Nasrani). The Islam I have come to know and love has no mentions of Allah allowing us to persecute them or anyone collectively for the actions of a few. While, yes, there are disagreements with our respective teachings I do not see that as an excuse to even use antisemitic slurs against Jewish people during a pro-Palestine rally, let alone support a man who was known for his acts of cruelty toward the Jewish community in WW2. They are still our siblings/cousins in faith, after all. Unless they have done active harm like stealing homes from civilians or celebrating the destruction of Palestine or supporting the Israeli government and the IOF or are members of the IOF, no Jewish people (and Christians, for that matter) must be harmed in our fight against Zionism.

Contemporary antisemitism is similar to (if not straight up being the exact same thing as) contemporary Islamophobia, if you think about it; due to the actions of a select few that has caused severe harm towards innocent people, an entire community has been a target of hate. Even when you have tried to call out the ones supporting such cruelties, you are still getting bombarded by hate speech. It's doubly worse if you're also simultaneously part of a marginalized group like BIPOC, LGBTQ+, etc. as you also get attacked on multiple sides. This is where we all need to self-reflect, practice empathy, and unlearn all of the antisemitism and unjustified hatred that we were exposed to.

So, do call out Zionism and Nazism when you see it. Call out the US government for funding this atrocity and others before it that had ALSO triggered the rise of Islamophobia. Call your reps. Go to the streets. Punch a fascist if you feel so inclined. Support your local businesses instead of pro-Israel companies.

But not at the cost of our Jewish siblings. Not at the cost of innocent Jewish people who may also be your allies. If you do that, you are no different from a MAGA cap-wearing, gun-tooting, slur-yelling Islamophobe.

That is all for now, may your watermelons taste fresh and sweet.

🍉

Salam Semangka, Penco
