Have some home cooked Passover memes!
Descriptions are in the alt text!
Explanations for non-Jews here:
Meme #1: In the beginning of the story, Pharaoh kills the male Hebrew babies by throwing them in the Nile. However, many scholars have pointed out that it would have been more effective to kill the women and not the men, especially since the men were used for labor.
Meme #2: Moses asks Pharaoh to "let my people go!"
Meme #3: Pharaoh refuses to release the Hebrew slaves.
Meme #4: Pharaoh kept agreeing to let the Jews worship in the wilderness (which they would have used to escape), but repeatedly changed his mind at the last minute.
Meme #5: as above
Meme #6: in Exodus, the word used for frog is singular. So although the plague is frogs and probably referred to massive amounts of frogs leaving the Nile, there's an argument that it was a single, giant frog. A Godzilla/Kaiju frog.
Meme #7: Pharaoh refused to allow Jews to leave for the first nine plagues. He relented after the ten plague, the death of all Egyptian firstborns, including the animals.
Meme #8: Hashem, literally "the name," is a title for G_d. Traditionally, Jews don't write out the actual name of G_d because it's disrespectful. G_d protected the Jews from Pharaoh.
Meme #9: after Jews escaped to the desert, Moses went up a mountain to talk to G_d for forty days, during which he received the Torah. The Jews left behind were worried that G_d had forgotten them, and built a golden calf to worship. G_d was pissed and forced Jews to remain in the desert for 40 years.
Meme #10: The song "The Plagues" from the movie Prince of Egypt is incredibly catchy and will get stuck in your head

"you shouldn't be antisemetic because you're legitimising Israel when you do" no you shouldn't be antisemetic because it hurts Jews who deserve to not be hurt, like any other human being. you should care about not being antisemetic because it hurts people, and that should be enough for you. why isn't it enough for you?

Funny how all of these “antizionist-not-antisemitic” types have had ample opportunity to make a statement about the huge surge in violent attacks against jews—which i have posted about since october—but they haven’t. For some reason.

as an autistic jew, passover is objectively the best holiday because it’s a dinner party with a script that everyone has to follow

As a disabled and chronically ill person "Thank You G-d, who has made me in Your image." is infinitely more affirming and comforting for me than the variation that goes, "...who has made me according to Your will."
It's not that G-d intentionally gave me a body that causes me to suffer because They will it to fulfil some greater purpose.
It's that my body, even as sick and weathered as it is, is a living breathing reflection of the Divine.
Reminding me that my disabled and chronically ill body is sacred too.
