#goyim don't touch

[fromgoy2joy]

I sat next to the protest today.

I wrote fan-fiction about two gay jewish dads raising children to the play list of the chant- "No peace on stolen land!" on an American college campus. It isn't a name brand one either, nor does it have any legitimate ties to Israel. The anger is just there- it has rotten these future doctors, nurses, teachers, and members of society.

I don't even know what to call their demonstration- it was a tizzy of a Jew hatred affair. At points, there were empathetic statements about Gazans and their suffering. Then outright support of Hamas and violent resistance against all colonizers. Then this bizarre fixation on antisemitism while explaining the globalists are behind everything.

"Antisemitism doesn't exist. Not in the modern day," A professor gloated over a microphone in front of the library. "It's a weaponized concept, that's prevents us from getting actual places- ignore anyone who tells you otherwise."

"How can we be antisemitic?" A pasty white girl wearing a red Jordanian keffiyeh gloats five minutes later. "Palestinians are the actual semites."

"there is only one solution!" The crowd of over 50 students and faculty cried, over and over.

"Been there, done that," I thought, then added a reference to a mezuza in the fourth paragraph.

Two other Jewish students passed where I was parked out, hunching and trying to be as innocuous as possible. We laughed together at my predicament, where I am willingly hearing this bullshit and feeling so amused by this.

"Am I crazy? For sitting here?" I asked them. My friends shook their heads.

"We did the same last week- it's an amazing experience, isn't it?”

We all cackled hysterically again. They left to study for finals. Two minutes later, I learned from the current speaker that “Zionism” is behind everything bad in this world.

Forty-five minutes in, a boy I recognized joined me on my lonely bench. He came from a very secular Jewish family and had joined Hillel recently to learn more about his culture. His first Seder was two nights ago.

He sat next to me, heavy like the weight of the world was on his shoulders. There was just this despondent look on his face. I couldn’t describe it anyone else, but just sheer hopelessness personified.

“They hate us. I can’t believe how much they hate us.” He said in greeting.

And for the first time all day, I had no snarky response or glib. All I could do was stare out into the crowd, and sigh.

Do you ever think about how many of us there should be? How many of us were killed in the Jewish-Roman Wars? How many of us were massacred in pogroms? How we still haven’t recovered from the Shoah? I believe the current estimate is that if the Shoah never happened, the world Jewish population would be around 50 million. We all have stories somewhere down the line of our family who didn’t make it. About friends who died in a pogrom or perished in a camp. About someone who died in a shooting. How many of the worlds Jews are missing? It’s too many.

i am sick and tired of everything

i am sick and tired of “i don’t have anything against jews” and then getting glared at for my magen david

i am sick and tired of scratching out passages in my required books for classes because of the judenhass in them.

i am sick and tired of people taking the shoah and using it for their own personal gain. i really don’t care about any goyishe thoughts/opinions on the shoah.

i am sick and tired of history being twisted because christian people don’t want to admit that they’ve done horrible things to the jewish people.

i am sick and tired of being asked “are you a jew?” in the most roundabout ways, as if it’s insulting to even think.

i am sick and tired of antisemitism being disguised as antizionism.

i am sick and tired of my people being equated to nazi’s, the literal fascists who committed countless atrocities against us.

i am sick and tired of having to explain to goyim why i continue to be a religious jew.

i am sick and tired of our fears as jews being downplayed and mocked when literal nazi’s still exist and threaten our safety every single day.

i am sick and tired of our existence as people being argued like it’s just some political opinion.

i am sick and tired of the ignorance of goyim.

I hate the social taboo that exists for people who don't fast. Yes, according to Jewish law you cannot fast if you physically cannot, but that doesn't mean there still isn't the social stigma and lack of education.

I had a guy ask me last night during Kol Nidrei if he's allowed to drink water. He has pancreatitis. It should have been made obvious to him immediately that of course he doesn't have to fast. He shouldn't have had to nervously search for someone who could answer his question after the fast had already started. When hosting the pre-fast meal, the Rabbi should have included in his announcements that if you have a medical condition that makes fasting dangerous, you should not fast.

It should be made clear before any fast starts that you shouldn't fast if you can't. But instead, in many communities, people with medical conditions feel ashamed for not fasting and sometimes even force themselves to fast when they shouldn't. It shouldn't be assumed that everyone in the congregation is fasting, yes, even if almost everyone in the congregation is below the age of 40 (this is another compounding issue- people thinking young people can't have certain medical conditions). And this stigma is dangerous.

I don’t have the words to put it succinctly, but does anyone else feel like the “Jewish education” accounts on Instagram and TikTok are inadvertently making things worse? Not because of the “educators” themselves, but because of the way goyim act when they’ve learned a teensy bit of Judaism? Does this make sense or resonate with anyone else?

I've been thinking about this all night, and I've come to a conclusion:

I have not met a single goy in my life that knows the least fucking thing about Judaism.

I'm serious. Even the experts who have put us under microscopes still don't know anything more than a handful of trivia they've been able to memorize. They don't know. And there are so many different books and movies and TED talks and whatever trying to explain, and they literally cannot get it.

The further we get from October 7th, the more I never want to talk to anyone who isn't Jewish ever again.

It may surprise you to learn that I am not interested in goyishe thoughts on this.

we as a community - and i mean all of us, from haredi yeshiva grads to secular “jew-ish” folks - need to confront and deal with our internalized antisemitism. i know the phrase “self hating jew” has been basically distilled into a meme at this point but it originated from the very real phenomenon of jews assimilating so heavily they turned on their own community. until we unpack that baggage, we’re not going to make progress.

I really think it's time for white functioning Jews to take a step back and honestly reflect on how quick some of you are to act like you're being oppressed when there are incredibly valid conversations being had about colourism, antisemitism, and racism within the Jewish community.

Examine why you feel victimized when experiences different to yours are spoken about. Examine why you need to centre yourself when racialized Jews speak about very real problems that need to be addressed. Instead of jumping down people's throats and making Jewish spaces unsafe and alienating for Jews of colour listen for once in your life.

If there are conversations you feel are important to have and you actually want people to listen, instead of centring yourself in a conversation about the oppression of racialized Jews and posing yourself as The Real Victim and willfully ignoring or denying the struggles faced by people who don't benefit from whiteness, you can start your own conversation literally anywhere else at any other time.

I think I bought this from someone on jumblr a few years ago, but I can't remember who. If you're the artist, please reblog and let me know (especially if you're still making them). A friend of mine wants to buy one.

Feeling kind of ambivalent about Hannukah this year as while the liberation of Judea from the Selucids is both historically important and worth celebrating, there are obviously gonna be a while lot of people mapping their desire for genocide onto that desire for liberation and I kind of don't want to be party to that.

Like I know it's their problem for being murderers who happen to share some culture with me. But it's still alienating.

Despite how neobundists/radikewl ashkies (lol) harp on about the importance of “going back to [our] roots” (lol again) and how sad it is that Yiddish declined and that being in diaspora was “more authentic” (no clue what that means), I absolutely cannot take them seriously because a lot of their whingeing is based on omission at best, outright lying at worst:

The vast majority of bundists got purged by Stalin and the other communists for being Jews, despite the neo-bundy fantasy of everyone running things back like when the bund was relevant

Yiddish was also purged by the communists for being Jewish and the purging at first started with all words of Hebrew origin being stricken out of the dictionaries and newspapers (and to my utter disbelief I’ve seen modern bundies seriously advocate this as radical praxis for [redacted]). Emigration to the United States actually helped save yiddish and no amount of tankiesplaining changes these facts

Despite being vastly Ashkenazim themselves, they are deeply contemptuous of anything related to Ashkenazim unless they can relate it to the soviets/communism and they have this weird cringe belief that Ashkenazim are not as “authentic” as mizhrahim/sephardim/everyone else because they drank too much american race model koolaid (plus as a stupid way to broadcast how they’re totally one of the good ones over [redacted]) and now expound their views in a condescending faux-intellectual way that basically boils down to “evil western whitey bad, noble savage brown person good”

Romanticise the pale of settlement and ghettoes to a horrifyingly starry-eyed extent

Are so willing to debase themselves, judaism, and Jewishness to gain the approval of goys that they voluntarily alienate themselves from the community

Might as well be catholics due to the prior points meaning they do a lot of tokenistic self flagellation in public

I’m so frustrated that American Reform Judaism simps for the state of Israel so hard that it actively derailed my Jewish education. I went to religious school two days a week for YEARS and STILL didn’t learn about some of our own holidays until I was an ADULT. But you’d better believe I learned all about the best vacation spots in/around Tel Aviv and all the words to HaTikvah and how cool it was that our third grade teacher trained snipers.

When I taught 3rd and 4th grade Hebrew school – different congregation, different city – the focus for the year was Vayikra. I had to constantly alter or ignore lesson plans because someone had decided that “laws governing judiasm = what it means to be a Jewish people = medinat yisrael,” so the whole semester was focused on maps of Israel and discussion of the Knesset. I had to go way off book to even discuss diasporic cultures, much less how we’ve decided to practice Judaism in so many ways around the world.

(This was the same shul who had a cultural attaché speak at Yom Kippur services, and he spent his time saying that, though Yom Kippur is for humility, it can also be for pride in your accomplishments. Like how we should be proud of Israel’s defense system.)

This isn’t to argue about ownership of holy land or Jewish roots in Israel – this is to say that ANY state-based nationalism (American and Israeli, in this case) is a hungry bitch that wants your whole attention. Reducing Judaism to a pro/con stance on the state of Israel is antisemitic when goyim do it — why can’t we discuss how hurts us when we do it, too?

i watched the “is the time coming to lay the Holocaust to rest?” episode of big questions and i am appalled.

i couldn’t even believe that this would even be a question?

first of all, jewish voices need to be centered within these conversations. i don’t care what some random guy who claims to be a human rights expert has to say. not when there are jewish people (SOME OF WHICH WHO ARE LITERAL VICTIMS OF THE NAZIS) who are being talked over and disregarded.

second, talking about the holocaust, how it was even possible, and the extent of the violence, DOES NOT somehow put it above other genocides. believe it or not, but jewish people are not always vindictive and greedy for attention.

lastly, there genuinely is no point to this question. the jewish community will not stop talking about this, not any time soon. we can never forget what happened and all of the lives lost, families shattered, and people traumatized during the shoah.

If I wasn't getting ready for Shabbat and had the spoons for it I'd talk about how "classic" Jewish productions like 'Yentl' and 'Fiddler' deliberately present a sanitized and idealized version of Shtetl life and Jewish culture and history, when in reality living in the Shtetls was a life of poverty and constant terror and people weren't dancing around petting chickens and goats all the time and singing and actually pogroms happened all the time and children often died or were kidnapped before they reached adulthood and sometimes Jews were just outright forced to leave their villages and leave all their possessions behind and all the while in the Shtetls they were treated as the permanent underclass, underneath even the gentile serfs and had constant restrictions on their dress, their food, and their economy. This contributes to a warped view of Shtetl life even within Jewish communities, where they romanticize the "good old days" of the Shtetl before the Holocaust when in reality there were never any "good old days" because the Shtetl itself was a symbol of forced social isolation and oppression, and antisemitism always existed in Europe long before the Holocaust. And because most of the Jews who've lived in these conditions have died, new generations of Jews are growing up with a distorted narrative of their own history.

Any other Jews considered doing fire arm training? As a queer nonbinary Jew a lot of people want me dead right now, so me and my dad might go take fire arm classes together. I’m bringing him in case I have to deal with any right wing nut jobs. I never thought I’d touch a gun because I grew up under the threat of school shootings but right now it seems like I need some way to defend myself, and if almost any Nazi transphobe can own a gun, I might as well learn to use one to better my odds.

i need to stop going on mi yodeya

it is fucking exhausting to see orthodox jews repeatedly and completely unashamedly call all the other denominations of judaism non-jewish and anyone who's part of that denomination "off the derech". masorti and reform judaism have just as valid a claim to the jewish tradition as orthodox judaism, no matter how many black hats smugly insist that they're the only people doing judaism correctly.
