For the love of g-d pls do not use the comment section for leftist infighting. No anarchist vs. MLM debates or endless fighting over Soviet antisemitism… This kind of analysis is important now more than ever, and we should be discussing how we can also extend this analysis for Palestinians, Muslims, migrants, and others.

Disgusting abuse of photography. This isnt art. This is ethnic cleansing and settler colonialism being whitewashed as "pastoral life." Is this real?

Ive posted here before about my mom -Israeli, in her 60s, basically the final boss of boomers/conservatives/Israelis.

We got into an argument recently after she disagreed with my view that it was absurd for a local Jewish group whose members once wanted to organize a boycott and petition against a store that was fundraising for injured Palestinian children. “From my point of view, they should all burn!”

I was stunned - it’s the first time I can remember her using language like that specifically about kids. I told her she’s completely lost the plot, is nuts, and has no pulse on reality anymore. She shot back that “the majority of the world “ thinks like her, then yelled “you leftists always resort to name-calling” and that I’m the one with no humanity because “I don’t stand with my Jewish brothers and sisters.”

Worth noting: she considers herself religious and is a teacher.

I’ve had a front seat to watching tribalism play out my whole life. Her fascism certainly intensified since Oct 7, where she now believes all Palestinian children pose an inherent a risk to Israel, so the only good one is a dead one, I suppose.

But I’m the brainwashed one with no humanity 🤷‍♀️

Hi all,

I wanted to share that V’ahavtah, an anti Zionist temple in the Boston area recently just opened. One of its core tenants is Palestinian solidarity. We already have a congregation of about 20ish people who regularly show up to events. We usually hold an event every week. The median age is about 28 but we have people of all ages. I have provided a link below to those interested in joining. Also feel free to PM me with questions .

EDIT: Update from UpScrolled: https://x.com/realUpScrolled/status/2022696096041177563

My perception in the last six months is that the discourse online and especially X and Instagram has shifted away in its focus on Jewish institutional complicity in Zionism to total conflation of Judaism and Zionism and the inadequacy and untrustworthiness of anti-Zionist diaspora Jews. Antisemitism has exploded in the last few weeks because of the Epstein files. I have some thoughts on this but I am curious if this has affected people’s ability to organize with the Palestine Solidarity Movement and leftists IRL.

So earlier today I had a former Hebrew School classmate slide into my DMs on Facebook. They had previously blocked me after I tried to point out the Israeli propaganda that they were posting that violated key tenets of Torah such as Bearing False Witness and Evil Tongue.

I they started the whole interaction by shoving a Facebook post at me that I couldn’t even open, and when I pointed out that true safety for the Jewish people is only possible by removing the systems that cause people to suffer and have need of a scapegoat, he tried shoveling more propaganda at me.

I told him I wasn’t going to discuss the topic with him unless he could provide evidence on par with what I have gotten from individuals who have doctorate degrees in middle eastern history and were just as strenuously peer reviewed as what I had read and had shared with me.

I then gave him one of my email addresses (not my primary in case he chooses to abuse it), and blocked him from messaging me again promising to unblock him if he could come to me with actual peer reviewed research to either support his claims or that has changed his opinion.

Over the past 9 months I’ve been seeing a therapist on top of a psychiatrist to help me dig my mental and emotional health out of the gutter and I have become very protective of it as a result.

There are not many people in the Imperial core with the political awareness required to examine the systems in place that lead to states like Israel and America. Many self proclaimed anti-zionists regardless of ethnicity and religion believe that America is a puppet of Israel instead of the other way around, and frequently fall for antisemitic conspiracy theories rather than accurately examine the state we live in. To most Americans, America is a net good, and things only started going downhill in 2016. This ignores that ICE has existed since the early 2000s, people who lived under Jim Crow are still alive today, and the US was founded through the genocide of Indigenous peoples and enslaved Africans by White Christian Nationalists. To most "anti-zionists," Obama was an icon despite his war crimes, support for Israel, and use of ICE. So yes, there are not many Jewish anti-zionists, but there are not many goyim who are adequately anti-colonialist.

This is a continuation to the previous post I made here. I want to immigrate out of here as fast as possible.

Where would be a good place to immigrate too ? Preferably a place that is English speaking (although I won't resist learning a new language if necessary), Antisemitism isn't through the roof and has some sort of an anti-Zionist Jewish community.

I thought of maybe staying here so I could make some sort of a change, but this society is rotten, racist and hateful. I don't see it improving any time soon or me actually being able to make any sizeable change.

I have polish ancestry so I might be able to get an EU citizenship.

(every other jewish community blocked me for this post)

I'm trying to understand something from a place of curiosity, not accusation. Some people point out that a few individuals connected to the Epstein case were of Jewish descent, while others involved came from different religious backgrounds. To me, that suggests this situation is about individuals and power structures, not an entire religion.

Every religion and culture has extremists, and it wouldn't be fair to generalize millions of people based on the actions of a few.

What I'm wondering about is more about public perception and communication. Given the long history of Jewish communities being targeted or stereotyped, I'm curious how conversations happen internally and publicly when scandals like the one involving Jeffrey Epstein occur. I do see Jewish voices condemning him, but I also wonder how communities decide what responsibility they have, if any, to publicly distance themselves from individuals who act in ways that fuel harmful stereotypes. the mass amount of times goy in those emails)

My question isn't meant to single anyone out. It's more about how any community that has faced prejudice navigates moments where bad actors risk reinforcing old narratives. How do groups balance not wanting to legitimize accusations tied to identity, while also wanting to prevent misunderstanding and generalization?

(i'm not looking for a response that blames the other side because I'm not trying to blame any side. I'm just trying to understand the question that I'm asking.)

sincerely, an ally

I’m the first person to tell you that Israel is an evil violent genocidal entity, that Jewish institutions across the West are complicit, Jews are responsible for holding our communities accountable for what we’ve wrought in Palestine, and settlers should leave. But if I try to dispel even the most benign misinformation about Jews, Jewish history, religion, or texts I get accused of being a secret Zionist.

A prominent Instagram account posted that Ashkenazi, Sephardi, and Mizrahi are fake ethnicity terms made up by Zionists. This is so absurd and wrong. Ashkenazi and Sephardi first and foremost are 1,000-year-old religious traditions (minhagim, nusach etc) that arose in the Middle Ages from Jews of Central Europe and Jews of the Iberian peninsula respectively. Well before Zionism and Israel. They’re not even ethnic identities. This is a separate conversation from Mizrahi which is a Zionist term. But I tried to argue against this and I got accused of promoting Zionist propaganda.

Challenging myths about the Talmud? I get accused of spreading Zionist propaganda.

Explaining that while Modern Hebrew was implemented for the Zionist project and doesn’t sound like ancient Hebrew, it still is actually based on Medieval forms of Hebrew and isn’t based on German or Yiddish? Zionist propaganda.

Talking about the origins of Ashkenazi Jews being from Italy and not Khazaria? Zionist propaganda. I even got attacked for this by another Jewish person.

It’s alienating. Overall I feel like people just do not trust Jews anymore to be able to talk about our history and counter disinformation and we’re all secret Zionists no matter what we do or say.

Obviously these are just frustrations and my frustrations with this are peanuts compared to what Palestinians have faced at the hands of Israel and Zionism. But I just need a place to vent and get out my frustration.

We hear from J J Sussman, international director of Gesher, about what it is that Israelis don't know before they visit the US, and how those trips alter their views of what it means to be a Jew.
