would you tell a Native American person you know their history better than them?
would you tell an African American person you know their history better than them?
would you tell any minority group you know their history better than them?
no?
then why the fuck are you doing that with Jews?

What bothers me the most about people calling Israel an "ethnostate" is that I know/have met Israeli people from so many ethnicities I can't even count them all (e.g Yemeni, Ethiopian, Moroccan, Polish, German, Russian, South african, Iraqi, Iranian, Argentine, Sudanese, I could go on...) and even different religions. Meanwhile Palestine is, in fact, an ethnostate. But nobody says that because that would make them have to research what they talk about.

Alright I'll bite. I live in Israel, yes. I served in the army, yeah. Does Israel mistreat Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank? Absolutely. My friends who are still enlisted tell me about the shit show that goes in there every day. I get it, there are a million reasons to hate the government and the IDF and whoever else you point fingers to. No side is innocent.
But assholes on motorcycles and in pickup trucks broke through the fence, entered civilian towns and military outposts alike, and just started MASACARING EVERYONE. THIS SHIT IS UNPRECEDENTED. And some MIGHT tiptoe around the point, and say that taking over outposts is fair because it's an occupation force and colonialism and what have you, but for fucks sake
They entered civilian homes. They shot everyone who moved. In locked houses, they set the home on fire and shot the families as they fled. I heard the phone calls - people screaming and begging for their lives as terrorists are walking around their home, stealing possessions, massacring everyone.
They didn't just murder colonialists, militants, occupying forces. They murdered kids who should've gone to school today. Parents working local agriculture, teachers, normal guys with an office job. They murdered dozens of elderly people who couldn't run away.
Not only murdered. Kidnapped. Living and dead, put on pickup trucks and herded back to Gaza. Stripped naked, desecrated and paraded around Gaza. I dare you to tell me the party goers, who were at a rave near one of the Kibbutzim near the fence, deserved to be shot at as they ran to safety. Hundreds of people missing. My Instagram stories filled with their faces, and a phone number attached - "help us find our loved ones. Contact lost. If anyone knows anything-" and at this point I skip them because there's nothing I can do.
My friends are enlisted down there. We're just a bunch of 20 year olds. My best friend is defending one of the villages who were infiltrated, she's trading shots with gunmen who already murdered half the place, she's messaging me once in a while to let me know she's alive. She should've been home for the weekend, we were supposed to watch Chicago now that it's on Netflix. Now neither of us sleeps, she's putting her life on the line and I'm wide awake terrified of the moment they call me and tell me she's gone.
This is mostly a rant. If you read all of it, thanks. I live up north, no need to worry for my safety for now. I don't have a good ending for this. Just, stay safe, I guess.

Hi. Can you share a cool fact about Israel? How's the fan culture over there? You guys got conventions? 👀
BOY DO WE
There are 4 big conventions in Israel, run by two organisations- the Israeli Society For Science Fiction and Fantasy(known shortly as "Ha'Aguda), and AMAI, the Israeli Manga and Anime Organization.
The Aguda's conventions are the biggest and most well-known. There's Icon during Sukkot and Olamot("worlds") during Passover, and both are always in Tel Aviv. Those are the comic-con of Israel- they have everything geeky and fanish, from every type of media. They last 2-3 days, and are free to enter but you have to pay to go into specific events. Those are my favorites!
AMAI's conventions are centered around Japanese media and culture. There are also two- Harucon at Purim(the closest con), and Animatsuri at the summer. Those cons costs money to enter, but once you're inside you can go anywhere as long as there are free seats. Those cons are in Jerusalem, and are very big. They also sometimes include a run of an Animusical(anime-inspired original musical production done by members of the community)
Other then those 4, we have lots of smaller cons done by different organizations and for different specific topics- there's Meorot which is a Harry Potter and LOTR con set during Hannukah, the Aguda also has Mitopia in the summer, that's centered specifically around books, and there's Draconicon for DND and RPG players! And a lot more! Last year I also had the chance to go to the first Sha'atnez, a con surrounding specifically Jewish Fantasy and Fantastic Judaism. It was fantastic and I REALLY hope it'll be an annual thing.
Interesting thing about fan culture here- the main two groups involved in it are queers, and religious orthodox jews. Both are in the fannish scene in much larger percantages then they make of the general population! I suspect the religious thing is because Shabbat-keepers have a lot of time when all they can do is read, and queers are already very dominant in such communities, but it's still very cool I think:)
Anyway fun fact, I've been in the artist alley for... 6-7 cons up untill now? My favorite to sell in was Noar Kore which sadly does not exist anymore but I REALLY like doing those booths.

i’ve said this before, but i still just don’t get how some people are finding it “socially acceptable” to hate on a group of people for something many of us have absolutely nothing to do with. If you switch this exact situation with certain other ethnicities, races, or religions, it becomes unnaceptable, as it should be. but of course, it’s different when it comes to us because of the genius reasoning “zionists evil, therefore jews evil”. i’m half russian, i obviously do not support them, but i’ve never had anybody say “fuck russians” after i tell them that. how tf is it any different with this case??
i’m a zionist, but if you’re not, whatever, stay uneducated, but don’t harass me just because of the religion I was born into.
hugs to every other jew out there who has to deal with shit like this ❤

Pretty impressive how Hamas hasn’t committed any war crimes or violated any international laws

Didn't think I'll witness so much antisemitism in my lifetime thought we agreed on "never again"

you know how some Israelis (me included) talked about not facing much antisemitism before October 7? I was thinking about this for a while and I came to some sort of self realisation, but I need to test this a little.
ISRAELIS OF TUMBLR ONLY
EDIT: forgot to mention, the question is about before October 7
reblogs for a larger sample size are appreciated
yes I see the irony in making an Israeli only poll in English

I am taking the word "nazi" away from goyim until they realise JEWS CANNOT BE FUCKING NAZIS.
Not all fascist white guys™️ are nazis!!!! Stop claiming our oppression as your own!!!!!!!!!
Trump is not a nazi. Desantis is not a nazi. Whoever the fuck else on that category is not a nazi. Nazis are people that went after mainly and mostly JEWS. Republican/conservative/whatever DOES NOT EQUAL NAZI!!!!!!!!!!!
Whether or not you agree with zionism, ZIONISTS. CANNOT. BE. NAZIS.
Because of the simple fact they are jews.
And the nazis? They went AFTER JEWS. Before anyone else.
Unless you also wanna start calling Black People You Don't Like KKK members, fucking stop.
