It's never felt more like a 'Fuck western lefties' time for Iranians than now! My people are struggling socially and economically under the rule of a fascist dictator terrorist regime, getting beaten, murdered and silenced by a corrupt government, that is vastly unpopular, day in day out. Now we're at the brink of a costly war on top of everything. And western left wingers are CHEERING ON THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC! Twitter and Instagram are full of dumb westerners acting like the IR is some kind of hero here. Fuckin hell. Two terrorist regimes are going at each other, the result is going to be more misery and civilian deaths. More destruction and casualties. There's nothing to cheer for here.
I can just hope this won't escalate into another humanitarian crisis. God knows the world doesn't need more war and loss of innocent lives right now.

The thing is, Israel had most of the missiles intercepted. so because there was no "real damage" people will act like this is ok. Israel is a big bad bully, they can take it, so you can attack them freely and they cannot retaliate because you are the poor little mew mew whose citizens get killed because you don't give a crap about their life.
and the big guy attacking the small one is always bad, no matter what the small one did, right?
#israel#ישראבלר#antisemitism#i/p#iran#iran missile strikes#jumblr#politics#victim politics#israel started loosing the PR war the day we developed the iron dome#people started dying less and it is no longer that sad

on oct 7th i was locked in an apartment for 2 days with no water, no electricity, no reception and no internet. there were terrorists outside my window and in my building. some of my online "friends" were "relieved to hear i was safe" and then went right back to calling me a colonizer behind my back. making fun of me for saying they wouldn't care if i died. they call me a nazi and spread lies about how i'm afraid of arabs. i'm so done with this stupid fucking world. it doesn't matter what i say or do, privileged westerners will always claim to know better than me.

As a seventh autistic Jew, Passover is my favorite holiday because it has a script, my family have habits that never changes which makes it easier to handle, the food is always hitting the same notes so I can always have something, and it let me gush over "the Prince of Egypt".
The problem is that the Sader is draining as fuck and by the time we get to the drink before deserts I just wanna curl into a ball, but we still have 1 more dish and the rest of the Hagada to read. So it takes me days to recover
as an autistic jew, passover is objectively the best holiday because it’s a dinner party with a script that everyone has to follow

it’s october 7th. you hear about the attack by seeing people you followed glorifying the terrorist attack—a massacre, a pogrom—as victory & justified resistance, glorifying a terrorist group that was founded with the explicit intent to kill your entire people
you make a post in which you make it clear you support palestinians and oppose the ways israel has wronged them, explaining that the terrorist group is still not good. you know you will probably get some flacc from the pro-Hamas side, but naively underestimate how much.
you get thousands of notifications on that one post, the majority of them hateful comments.
some of the response is positive. multiple messages thank you for the post, expressing bafflement that it’s controversial.
a few Israelis are upset at the loaded language in your post, but explain their problems with it civilly. you called Israel “apartheid”. they ask you what apartheid laws Israel has. you admit you honestly don’t know.
your inbox is flooded with anonymous hate from anti-Israel leftists.
over the course of a few weeks you have received hundreds of death threats, a dozen rape threats. people accuse you of being pro-genocide. you’re a literal Nazi. you’re racist, you thirst for the blood of Palestinians. you’re brainwashed by propaganda, a shill for The Zionist Entity. a few of the hate messages are from literal Neo-Nazis; the overwhelming majority are from leftists, many of them queer.
you are considering suicide.
you see footage of the october 7th attacks. you see footage of the bombings in gaza. you see footage of a Jewish man being murdered at an anti-Israel rally.
a popular creator you follow posts in support of an antisemitic hate group that masquerades as a Jewish organization. this organization regularly posts blood libel and other antisemitic rhetoric, works with groups that are even more explicitly antisemitic, including celebrating October 7th, holocaust inversion, blood libel, “Khazar theory” and others. more than one of the orgs they work with is pro-Putin.
your former roommate liked the post.
graffiti appears on a street you frequent that says “#freepalestine” and “end settler colonialism”
the boyfriend of the friend you spent most of the summer with makes his first post about the war. it’s a reposted comic that mocks and downplays the october 7th attack.
you doubt he’ll be receptive to criticism. he’s shared leftist memes about “monied elites” pulling all the strings and evangelicals being modern day “pharisees” in the past, and getting him to understand why that was antisemitic was like herding cats. you try anyway.
another of his Jewish friends also pushes back. he smugly dismisses her, tells her she’s falling for Zionist propaganda and uses several antisemitic tropes. you go off on him. he just deletes your comment.
you give up. you’re done. you block him.
you see anti-Israel posters and billboards around town
you mention what happened with the guy you went off on to his girlfriend—the friend you’ve grown very close to, who you’ve been listening to as she unburdens her fears for the future and complains about her bf’s BS over the last year. she doesn’t respond to you.
a friend of a friend shares posts tokenizing fringe groups that spread blood libel and have collaborated with holocaust deniers. you know they don’t know what you know, so you explain what those groups are. they seem somewhat receptive, apologize, and take it down
the next day they share several more posts that dip into antisemitic tropes. you mention this to your mutual friend, that you’re worried about them being radicalized. you’re not sure how receptive they’ll be to continued criticism
you have a confrontation with the foaf. in the meantime they’ve shared even more antisemitic posts. they say they didn’t mean to cause you distress but instead of stopping they effectively block you.
the “end settler colonialism” vandalism has been counter-vandalized with the words “commie propaganda” in place of “settler colonialism”. you don’t know if this is an improvement.
a month passes. the friend whose bf you went off on still hasn’t spoken to you. you see she shared a post defending an SJP chapter that posted Nazi cartoon caricatures of Jews repurposed in “Anti-Zionist” memes. you unfriend her on all social media platforms but you can’t bring yourself to block her number.
you see a friend of someone whose couch you surfed when you were homeless harassing Jewish celebrities with “Free Palestine” comments. you block them.
you’ve lost count of how many people you’ve unfollowed or blocked, or who’ve blocked you. friends, content creators.
when a friend takes an unusually long time to respond you worry if it’s because of your posts about antisemitism.
most of the podcasts, youtube channels, and other content creators you regularly engaged with no longer feel safe. you wonder who will be next
a couple friends wish you a happy hanukkah. you don’t celebrate much aside from lighting the hanukkiah and making some latkes.
you see posts about a destroyed chabad menorah, antisemitic comments on Jewish celebrities’ Hanukkah posts.
your neighborhood is covered in pro-Palestine & anti-Israel posters. some are seemingly innocuous, some are JVP “not in our name” posters. some call for intifada. “globalize the intifada” “Zionists fuck off!” “solidarity means attack!”
a man kills himself shouting “free palestine”. you learn about his suicide by seeing posts from several popular accounts you followed glorifying it.
you follow a bunch of jewish accounts on social media and commiserate with them about everything happening
your jewish friends post screenshots of the dead man’s antisemitic, pro-Hamas views. you look at his reddit and find even more horrific shit: anti-Ukraine posts. mocking Zelensky. “elites” are “lizard people”; the only named individual he calls a lizard person is Jewish. you start to notice a pattern: a lot of the people he dislikes just so happen to be jews.
several people you know share a post glorifying this man’s suicide. most are acquaintances, one is someone incredibly important to you.
you wonder how they would respond to your suicide.
you tell the close friend that shared this post how it scares you. you show them the receipts of the man’s antisemitism. their response is a single sentence. they didn’t know about the antisemitism.
they don’t apologize.
you notice none of your irl friends, even your closest ones, interact with your posts about antisemitism. you are able to vent to a couple friends, but no one has reach out to you
you try not to read into it. you try not to take it personally.
you haven’t slept well in months. you’ve always been an insomniac but not like this. you’re not sleeping until 4am, 6am, even 9am. even when you get to bed at a decent hour and get a full night’s rest it takes you hours to get out of bed.
a few weeks go by. the friend with the single sentence response shares a post saying they’re excited and proud to join a group to help palestinians. you’re excited and proud for them.
a couple days later, they share a post about a fundraiser to help a palestinian family get out of gaza. you note to yourself this is a much more effective & less concerning form of activism than the pro-suicidal antisemite post.
your friend shares another post about the fundraiser. it’s a joint post between their group and another group.
you open the other group’s page
the page is just a wall of signs from rallies. you swipe through one after another: “from the river to the sea”, “by any means necessary”, justifying/denying the atrocities of october 7th, calling for violent revolution. anything done in the name of resistance can’t be terrorism, all Israelis are terrorists. Jews aren’t indigenous; they’re white colonizers. holocaust inversion. other vile, thinly veiled violent rhetoric
you feel sick to your stomach imagining talking to your friend about it.
you already feel like you’re burdening the few friends you can talk to about this. you already feel like you think about it too much, talk about it too much. but you can’t not think about it; it affects every aspect of your life.
you’ve filtered out relevant keywords on more than one social media site to avoid the worst of it. some still manages to leak through.
there isn’t a single friend you regularly interact with that you don’t fear the moment when they will switch from listening to your concerns to seeing you as the evil zionist or indoctrinated hasbaranik they’ve been warned about.
it’s not an irrational fear. it keeps happening. you knew it would then, and you were powerless to do anything about it before, and you continue to be as it happens again and again.
you don’t know what to do about any of it.

Scenes from a Berkeley City Council Meeting
live link here: https://twitter.com/SFJCRC/status/1773124947008995524
From my own notes:
Someone cedes speaking time to a large white looking man in an orange safety vest. He approaches the lectern, picks up a cordless mic belonging to a member of the (Jewish) press, and hurls it across the room. Then walks away. That was apparently all he had to "say."
A young, maybe preteen, girl speaks about a program she's in called "Pen Palestine"--she's been corresponding with someone who has been represented to her as another young girl. Who knows what the truth is. This girl seems extremely idealistic, sensitive, and misinformed. My heart goes out to her. She doesn't know. She cares so much and believes what she's being told. Her high empathy is a risk factor for radicalization. I am struck by the fact that every accusation she makes against Israel is in fact something Israelis have been the target of. But she only thinks of Israelis as invulnerable and evil. She is near tears. When she finishes speaking, many people lovebomb her. I feel like I'm watching extremist radicalization in real time.
A woman in a foot brace uses her speaking time to indulge in some conspiratorial accusations. She says someone must be physically threatening the City Council to prevent them from endorsing a ceasefire resolution. Then she says it must be about money. Others in the crowd rumble appreciatively about this message. Yes, it's the money. They agree.
Any time someone stops speaking a crowd chants in unison various names, followed by the chant "Murdered by Israel."
Whenever they chant "Free Palestine" my elderly friend adds "from Hamas!" with great enthusiasm.
A woman named Erica aka Riki repeats talking points about genocide, forced famine, 30 thousand dead innocents. Upbraids Terry Taplin and Sophie Hahn for attending an event where a "known Zionist" spoke. I think they mean the Israeli speaker at Cal whose event was shut down by rioters.
An old white looking man, Vietnam Veteran, holds a Palestinian flag and shouts nasty things throughout the meeting. He calls Jews "Zios," the way a white supremacist would.
Asked to move their posters which are blocking the dais, the crowd refuses. Then a woman says they will remove the posters, but they will do it themselves because "We don't want (((Zionists))) touching our posters." I hear: "dirty Jews."
Zionist, as deployed by these people, is a dehumanizing term. Once you have branded someone a Zionist, they are essentially and inherently dirty, and it is permissible to say or do absolutely anything to them. It's impossible to cause harm, and anyway they deserve it. They were wearing that Bring Them Home t-shirt. They had it coming. The abuse is what they are intended for.
The chanting and braying are almost ceaseless. Some of the disruption is so bad that the Council calls for recess. Like a time out until people can calm down.
There is an elderly Egyptian man who does not want the crowd to behave this way. I think he sees the people who are purporting to advocate for his "side" messing up the job. He tries to tell them to stop misbehaving. He wants them to actually work with the City Council. He tries to prevent another recess. They shout over him. They don't listen to him at all.
I can't yet write about what it feels like to watch this mob publicly dehumanize the elders of my own community. Particularly the Shoah survivors. It's actually too much.
But there is something about watching them disrespect this man who should be the elder of "theirs" which upsets me in a different way. I know that he and I probably have much different perspectives and interests, but I still want to tell him I'm sorry they're treating him this way. But I know if I move from my seat at all, I will be mobbed and possibly forced into a corner (as I have watched happen to others, including a young man from JCRC) so I hesitate. Another Jewish woman I know, a strong advocate, goes to speak with him. She had the same impulse. I'm grateful to her.
Later, the man gets in line to make a comment. He mentions the Jewish woman speaking to him and compliments her. He speaks strongly in support of the Holocaust remembrance event, then asks to use the rest of his speaking time for a moment of silence for all innocent life lost. It's some of the only quiet we've had in this room. I silently say Tehilim.

note: what I focused on from my notes is not a statement of importance relative to anything else that happened, more about filling in gaps from the other coverage I linked

I think it would be helpful for everyone to acknowledge that "Israel is killing a high number of civilians in Gaza AND THAT IS BAD AND WRONG" can and does coexist with "other countries also do pretty much this exact thing and worse literally all the time but Israel gets a much more aggressive response because of antisemitism and that is a legitimate problem". One does not negate the other. This is called

A world-renowned professor of Statistics & Data Science at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, Wyner provided a detailed analysis of the data from the Gaza Health Ministry, which showed that they had, at the very minimum, been doctored – and at worst, completely faked.

Oh goodie, Wil Wheaton is now promoting violence against Jews, including rape and murder, as righteous resistance, even reblogging from people who have condoned violence against Jews outside of Israel.
Gotta love celebrities using their gigantic platforms to whip up their followers into hating and attacking Jews 🙄
