Just a mushroom. 30s. Hobby mycologist. He/him Norse-Germanic Pagan, anti-fascist. 18+ MDNI Free Palestine!๐ต๐ธ Zionists, Nazis, and other right wing bastards go die ๐ชฆ
I have worn my magen david and not had a single comment, from anyoneโ not Muslims, Christians, people wearing kufiyahs. Iโve been to protests and demonstrations, and never been more welcomed or felt so safe. Palestinians have hugged me, have shared food with me. Leftists have constantly held space to listen and to learn, to make room for changes and growth.
But you know what I have experienced? Jewish Zionists screaming at me, calling me shameful, Jewish Zionists on the internet debating the legitimacy of my Jewishness. Iโve been called kapo, k*ke and told Iโd be r*ped by Hamas. Iโve had the most vitriol from ZIONISTS. Iโve faced the most antisemitism from Zionist Jews, and that makes me so inconceivably sad. Iโve been looked down upon and cursed at.
04292024: Jewish Bloc march for Palestine in London, posted via naamoduk. Jews will always stand with Palestine; we are here, no matter what Zionists say.
The pro-Zionists have revealed themselves again and again to be the most hateful and disgusting bigots around.
Free Palestine!

As much as I love the region I live in (to the point where itโs spiritually relevant to me), those of us who live in the Americas and are non-native shouldnโt be living here. Land back needs to be taken more seriously and more non-native land owners should consider giving their land back to the people it once belonged to.
Iโm so thankful for our Jewish anti-Zionist allies โค๏ธ
Ok gotta talk about it.
As a Jewish historian, I fucking hate Israel in ways most probably will never be able to comprehend. I'm going to try and explain it anyways. The central creation myth of Israel is that it is Jewish, and then consequently, that Israel is a part of Jewishness. Its easy to simply state this is false, but fully comprehending this and putting it into practice in thought and deed seems rare to me.
The evil at the heart of this violence predates the recent acceleration of genocide. Israel is a colony, and more than that, an antisemitic fraud itself. After WW2, when Israel was being founded, the Jews of Europe generally did not wave goodbye to their neighbors and head to the promised land. Many were expelled from their homes. Zionism itself, as an action, was a false choice at the time. A mere excuse to place an ally in the middle east, and an excuse to complete the expulsion and destruction of the European Jew. The Zionist Jew is more than complicit in this, they actively seek the destruction and assimilation of all other Jews.
Many fail to realize, and largely because of Israel, that Jews are not inherently white, Ashkenazi, European-descended people. Our faith and culture has an immense variety that is spread all across the globe. Jewishness, in population and volume of culture, exists more so outside of Israel than within it. Israel is for a very specific kind of Jew. The kind that lets Yiddish die, that attaches themselves to European things, that makes themselves and their practices as white as possible.
And they have the nerve, the fucking belligerent GALL, to frame themselves as the necessary saviors of our people. To the Zionist, questioning Israel is to question Jewishness itself. They bake adoration for the colonial machine into their very prayers, and push them on us even as children. To *not* oppress, to *not* kill, to *not* genocide, is to invite death. This is the core of fascistic thought, of course. "Kill them before they kill us." And they KNOW this too, they really do. The truth of that irony does not matter, because as is true for all fascists, the truth itself does not matter to them. They wanted this, they wanted this even before the British saw it in their best interest to give them the land. Any excuse to RETVRN, as the neo-nazis say of Rome, or the German Empire, or whatever the fuck stupid country they want to poorly animate the corpse of. Some select Zionists even *sided with the fucking Nazis* in agreement they should abandon Europe to colonize Palestine. (Haavara Agreement)
My people have proved time and time and time again you don't need a nation state to have an enduring culture. We have protected ourselves for thousands of years without the help of these spiteful, doom-saying maniacs. I was going to post something like this on Passover, but that would be hypocritical. The state of Israel doesn't actually have shit to do with Jewishness.
