Helpful lists of questions for goyim when it comes to engaging with the Israel-Hamas war 🙂
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF WHEN A POST ABOUT THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR CROSSES YOUR DASH AND YOU WANT TO REBLOG IT:
Does this post link to a source?
If the post does link to a source, is it a credible one?
If the post does not link to a source, is there one screenshotted in the post that you can find? If so, please search out that source and read the entire thing in context. And make sure the source is credible. Ideally, if you decide to reblog it, add a link to the source.
Is the post just screenshots of tweets? If so, you probably should not reblog this. Posts that are just screenshots of tweets are a massive red flag. Do not believe something because it's a twitter screenshot. Frankly this rule is for everyone about everything all the time.
What is the tone of the post? Does it make you angry? If yes, this is a red flag. Exercise caution reblogging.
Does the post frame Israel as a uniquely evil country in need of destruction? Does the post treat Israel with different standards than those that are applied to every other country that has done horrible, horrible things, such as Russia, the UK, or United States? This is a red flag. If the government of Israel falls without some sort of transition plan, there will be Jewish genocide. Anyone advocating for a one-state solution either way is advocating for one group to get genocided. A two-state solution is the only possible peaceful end to this conflict (technically my opinion but I feel comfy stating it as fact).
Does the post treat Hamas as anything other than a terrorist organization? Do not reblog.
Is the post promoting Jewish Voice for Peace/JVP? Do not reblog. That organization is not Jewish and is antisemitic.
What is the focus of the content of the post? Is the post discussing reasonable paths to a ceasefire/peace? Is the post criticizing Israel's actions without using antisemitic stereotypes? Netanyahu is a disgusting fascist who I hate, but even though he is a terrible person you are not allowed to portray him as an antisemitic caricature. Similar to how you don't get to misgender shitty trans people, you don't get to be antisemitic towards shitty Jewish people (even if he's really, really shitty).
How does the post use the word "zionist?" Does the word have any coherent meaning in the post besides "person (often Jew) that I hate?" Does it treat zionists as a group of people who are disgusting and deserve to be murdered and/or raped? Does the use of the word "zionist" completely dehumanize the person/people the label is applied to into nothing more than evil that the Earth must be rid of? This is antisemitic. Do not reblog.
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF WHEN YOU'RE AT A PRO-PALESTINE PROTEST:
Are people chanting antisemitic slogans such as "globalize the intifada" and/or "from the river to the sea" (these are both antisemitic you cannot remove the antisemitic meaning from them, they are both advocating for the murder of Jewish people, sorry, stop using them.)?
Are people comparing themselves to Palestinians in Gaza? (this is not a joke, I saw a video of a Columbia student who compared Columbia sending out fliers to leave or be suspended to the IDF dropping flyers in Gaza saying "the army is coming in 24 hours.") If so, they care more about fetishizing Palestinian pain and making themselves feel like noble victims than the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Are people harassing Jews? This includes: preventing them from getting to class, yelling things at them like "go back to Poland," and/or physically assaulting them.
Are people defacing Jewish property/monuments? Are people defacing synagogues? Businesses with known Jewish owners? Statues and/or memorials of/for Jews?
What is the purpose of this protest? Would you feel comfortable sharing opinions that differ from the majority? Would you feel comfortable engaging in a conversation about this issue with fellow protesters? Are any of you actually educated on the complicated and lengthy history of the Israel-Palestine conflict? Is the protest about a peaceful solution, or is it just making you angrier and/or more upset? Does the protest/your fellow protestors care more about freeing Palestine so that Palestinians and Israelis can live in peace, or about hating Israel and treating it like a uniquely evil country?
If people are chanting antisemitic slogans, harassing Jews, and/or defacing Jewish things, then this is an antisemitic protest. Do you want to be associated with these people and this protest? If your answer is yes, you are an antisemite-sympathizer, which is basically an antisemite.
MORAL OF THE STORY: antisemitism is all over this issue and it's easy to get more antisemitic and spread antisemitism because bad actors use this issue to indoctrinate people who start off just genuinely caring about the issue but are not educated at all about it or what antisemitism actually looks like. BE CAREFUL. All Jews want, all we've ever wanted, is to be left alone to do our thing. Random Jews are not at fault for the horrific actions taken by the Israeli government since the terrorist attack on October 7th. We support the existence of Israel, but we do not support all of the current government's actions. We are just trying to live. We want there to be a ceasefire now. If you actually read this whole thing, thank you. It means a lot to be listened to.
For those of you that made it to the end, I'll offer one last reminder and one last gentle suggestion.
My last reminder is: "it is not your job to finish the work by neither are you free to ignore it" is a Jewish passage I really like. I think in times like these, it is important to focus on the first half. It is not your job to finish the work. The fate of Palestine does not rest on your shoulders. It's ok. Take time to decompress and log off.
My last suggestion is: one of the biggest Jewish values is "tikkun olam," which means "repairing the world." I think all action when it comes to this conflict (and life in general) should be done with tikkun olam in mind. It doesn't hurt to ask yourself "is this action repairing the world, or further tearing it apart?" no matter what you're doing. Thank you for reading.

i dunno i think ppl have forgotten that activism isn’t fair. if you want to be an activist, you have to do things that are uncomfortable or unfair, you have to talk to people you disagree with and you have to get on their level and empathize with them if you want them to change their minds, you have to engage with fucked up shit, because otherwise the fucked up shit isn’t going to go away. if you call yourself an activist but refuse to engage with your “opponents” then you’re not an activist you’re an actor. you’re putting on a show. real activism is not glamorous. it sucks. it’s draining. it’s traumatizing. it’s difficult. it doesn’t always work. and it is 10000x more helpful than just living out your hero fantasy while not actually making any meaningful changes.

A man is on trial for battery against his half brother.
His stepfather is called as a witness, and testifies to things he saw, things he thinks he saw, and things that did not happen.
The defense then asks the witness:
"Sir, isn't it true that you were only present for some of these incidents?"
"Isn't it true that you only saw parts of the incidents?"
"And isn't it true that you did not intervene or seek assistance in intervening in the incidents you were present for?"
"Isn't it true that you yourself instigated the argument between the brothers?"
"Isn't it true that you used to physically abuse the defendant?"
The prosecutor objects to the relevance of this last question.
The defense responds: "Your Honor, the history of abuse in this family is relevant because it goes to the intent, causality, and most importantly at the moment: the credibility of the witness. He has every reason to lie about his own part in this family conflict."
Judge: I'll give you some leeway.
Witness: I never abused him.
Defense: You never abused him? That's really your testimony?
Witness: Yes.
Defense: So your prior seventeen-count convictions of domestic abuse and attempted murder of your stepson aren't proof enough?
Witness: Well sure, that's evidence, but that was so long ago.
Defense: So you did abuse your stepson?
Witness: It's more complicated than that. It wasn't what it looked like.
Defense: So to this day, you still can't take responsibility for abusing your stepson?
Witness:
Defense: And isn't it true that you never paid restitution to him?
Witness: No.
Defense: You never apologized to him sincerely?
Witness: No.
Defense: You never even served more than a few days in jail?
Witness: No.
Defense: And yet you're here, today, asking this court to seek the maximum fines, punitive damages, legal fees, and a life sentence?
Witness: Yes.
Defense: All while having never faced any such consequences for your own behavior and denying your own role in creating this conflict?
Witness: He deserved it then and he deserves it now.
Witness: Besides - if it was really that bad, he should know better himself. It should've been a lesson to him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is what every single goy from a country that participated in the Shoah and/or Farhud sounds like when they engage in Holocaust inversion.

Engaging with antizionist goyim is infuriating. After five seconds of talking to the average antisemitic “antizionist” goy it is painfully obvious that they have absolutely no fucking clue what they’re talking about, and they don’t want things to improve in any meaningful way. They just want the (((bad guys))) to lose.
There’s no meaningful critique of Israel’s policies, no coherent discussion on how to improve relations between Israelis and Palestinians, and a majority of these people don’t even know the history of the SWANA region- let alone the history behind Zionism and the creation of Israel.
And these are the people dominating our conversations! It’s violating enough to have our lives turned into entertainment for them, but it’s especially sick that they’ve designated us the antagonist. Sick. It genuinely makes me sick.

Block Bogleech and don't buy this book actually
how it started
How it's going
Most evil slaughter ?! ah so either the holocaust never happened in your eyes or the war on Hamas in Gaza is WORSE than the holocaust and either way fuck you
You want the Jews serving in the IDF to burn in hell? how culturally christian.
OOh they compared Bibi to Hitler, did a holocaust inversion and said Zionists aren't regular humans. Gross
As we say in russia, "the argument reveals the truth"
