I think making Aaron Bushnell a “hero” is fucked.
The man had mental health issues that probably have a connection to his service in the army, he needed help that he didn’t receive and you should be talking about that.
A man in Israel tried to burn himself aswell a few years ago because of his service in the IDF, and before you say “it’s because he was in a genocidal army!” No it’s because that watching people die wether it’s your enemy or your friend has an affect.
You just love death.

I will tell you the reason: they are lacking meaning in their lives and it is fulfilled by protests
youtube
Imagine if they used half that energy to help their community: clean the streets, go to city planning meetings, organized a party or literally anything that would improve their and their friends' lives

Leftists: Everyone is a little bigoted. Bigotry is deeply integrated into our society. Everyone picks up on it. You have to actively unlearn it. Check your bias. Your intentions might be good, but you're not immune to bigotry learnt since childhood. Even if you're an activist already. Even if you have friends from the minority. Listen to marginalized voices. Take the critisism. This is the only way to overcome our internalized prejudices.
Jews: Hey so–
Leftists: ZIONIST!!

So like Am Yisrael Chai and all that, don't get me wrong I'm so grateful for the superhuman resilience of Israelis (and really the whole Jewish people) because it's necessary
but damn, like
Could it just, for once, not be?

If you ask a non-jew what is the symbol of a Jewish wedding they will say it's breaking a glass. But why?
What you don't know is that when the groom breaks the glass the couple are already married. The rabbi has technically already pronounced them husband and wife (though there isn't really that part in a Jewish wedding).
The glass is crushed to represent the grief of the destruction of the temple. The groom says "If I forget you Jerusalem may my right hand be lost, may my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don't remember you and don't put Jerusalem at the top of my joy" (my translation) Even at the happiest event of our lives we will always remember Jerusalem and Zion (i.e Israel) and how it was destroyed and how we were exiled from it. Then and only then, you may kiss the bride.
The verse is from the same psalm that starts with "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion"
This has been Jewish tradition for over 2,000 years and it doesn't matter if it was Jews in Europe, Africa, Asia - we always yearned to return to the land of Israel.
So if you say we aren't indiginous to the land of Israel or that we have no claim to the land, you need to educate yourself.

I’ve seen a lot of posts from fellow Jews about how hard it feels to observe Pesach this year, how it even feels wrong while there are Jews being held in captivity right now.
I would argue that’s the very point of Pesach, and observing it has never been more appropriate than it is now.
The first Seder was not a celebration of a victory already won. The first Seder was held by the Jews while we were still in Egypt, while we were all still enslaved, huddled inside with lambs blood on our doorposts. We were anticipating imminent departure from Egypt, but it hadn’t happened yet and we had no way of knowing if it would.
Pesach is not an after-the-fact celebration of finally being out of danger. The origin of the Seder is a deliberately premature celebration, a demonstration that we have so much faith in G-d saving us that we act as if it’s already happened.
We don’t have the Seder because we are finally free. We have the Seder as a show of faith that we will be, no matter how unlikely it seems.

I’ve refrained from being political on this site for a decade. I’ve never posted about current events.
But If you think what’s happening right now in Israel are heroic “acts of resistance” please unfollow me.
Over 3000 rockets were fired, innocent people are being held hostage and killed in their homes .hundreds were injured and there are dozens of confirmed dead. The stories are mortifying and I could go on.
I personally was woken up at 6:30 am from rocket siren, terrified since then. And I’ve had it better than a lot of people in my country. How was your Saturday morning?
This is inhumane, this is unprovoked violence and war. You can blame my government, but not kill innocent people and run around the streets, guns a-blazing .
Dropping a bomb on an ambulance is not heroic. Kidnapping innocent civilians into Gaza isn’t heroic.
I will block any hate messages. Don’t try me today

what i really hate about the free palestine movement, is how much you throw around the word “genocide” without knowing what’s happening.
yes, the palestinian people are dying. yes, it’s heartbreaking and horrible. but no, it is not israel’s fault. every israeli i know wishes that we could live in peace and that nobody would get hurt, but our army literally does everything they can to make sure the palestinians civilians live. what kind of tyrannical oppressors would warn civilians about bombs, help them evacuate, and send in trucks of aid to the enemy? you need to know who to blame, and it isn’t israel, its hamas. they kill and terrorize their own people, if you think theyre a liberation group, then you’re either not seeing facts or you’re ignoring them on purpose. they are a terrorist organization, and they’re not just after zionists.
stop using twitter, instagram and al jazeera as a source and use your little sheep brain. and try fact checking. (and a little common sense)
(ignore the format of this post idk how tumblr works and it wont let me reblog @tinky-dinky )

What people have done to the am Yisrael chai (and also עם ישראל חי but a little less so cause these guys don’t know the first thing about Hebrew) is beyond disgusting and shows exactly how ‘just anti Zionist!’ they really are. Am Yisrael chai is a centuries old Jewish saying that celebrates us not just surviving, but living in a world that will kill us every time the opportunity presents itself. Am Yisrael chai is the best defiance to the world of still being here when everyone wants us gone, it is a pure joy of being on this world and being a Jew, it is that the Jewish people are alive. We are alive
You know, I wanted to talk about how horrible it is that that’s been twisted, how non Jews ar e determined to snuff out our life, but like… actually I don’t want to. I’m so tired of all of that. I just want to be happy, and I want to celebrate with my people. We’re still here. We’re alive! !עם ישראל חי! עם ישראל חי
‏וגם זה יעבור

[CHOIR]
(Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord
Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord
Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord
Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Lord)
Since you refuse to free my people
(Since you refuse to free my people)
All through the land of Gaza
I send a pestilence and plague
Into your house, into your bed
Into your streams, into your streets
Into your drink, into your bread
Upon your cattle, on your sheep
Upon your oxen in your field
Into your dreams, into your sleep
Until you break, until you yield
I send the swarm, I send the horde
Thus saith the Lord
[ISRAEL]
Once I called you brother
Once I thought the chance to have some peace
Was all I ever wanted
[CHOIR]
I send the thunder from the sky
I send the fire raining down
[ISRAEL]
And even now I wish that God had chose another
Serving as your foe on His behalf
Is the last thing that I wanted
[CHOIR]
I send a hail of burning ice
On ev'ry field, on ev'ry town
[ISRAEL]
This is my land
All this pain and devastation
How it tortures me inside
All the innocent who suffer
From your stubbornness and pride
[CHOIR]
I send the locusts on the wind
Such as the world has never seen
On ev'ry leaf, on ev'ry stalk
Until there's nothing left of green
I send my scourge, I send my sword
Thus saith the Lord
[ISRAEL]
You who I called brother
Why must you call down another blow?
[CHOIR]
I send my scourge, I send my sword
[ISRAEL]
Let my people go
[CHOIR]
Thus saith the Lord
[ISRAEL & CHOIR]
Thus saith the Lord
[HAMAS]
I had never called you "brother"
This attack, and every kidnappee and blow
This is what I wanted!
[CHOIR]
I send the swarm, I send the horde
[HAMAS]
Then let my heart be hardened
And never mind how high the cost may grow
This will still be so:
I will never let your people go
[CHOIR]
Thus saith the Lord
[ISRAEL]
Thus saith the Lord
[HAMAS]
I will not...
[(ISRAEL & CHOIR) & HAMAS]
...let your (my) people go!

as an ukrainian, I personally fully support State of Israel.
There is no "good terrorism". And never was.
Hamas should be destroyed. No exceptions.
Palestinians can go fuck yourself with this kind of actions.
עם ישראל חי!

I love it when anti-Israel dingbats try to say that "Palestine is a queer issue!" and argue that all LGBT people and all leftists should be anti-Israel because of the "intersectionality" between gay rights and Palestinian rights, or when anti-Israel dingbats try to argue that "Palestine is an indigenous issue/colonization issue" because they're in favor of indigenous land-back movements until an indigenous land-back movement succeeds.
Yeah, people with various different identities have different experiences than people who aren't those things. But that doesn't mean that we need to center the discussion on Palestine every time people are trying to advance the rights of other disadvantaged groups (see: the Women's March organizers). Being a minority in multiple aspects doesn't mean you're obligated to take a strong stance in adherence to the organizers of your movement on every other situation. And it's not helping your case here (not that you have a defendable thesis to begin with).
I'm an autistic disabled ADHD lesbian female religious indigenous-to-Eretz-Yisrael Jew. Sounds like an intersectional identity to me. But the anti-Zionist crowd chooses to ignore any viewpoint that could challenge their argument, while saying they support LGBT rights, feminism, indigenous rights, disability rights, and the rights of minority religions. There's no intersectional progressiveness in supporting a terrorist regime that slaughters women, LGBT people, religious minorities, and the indigenous inhabitants of the land.

There's something so vile and insidious about saying "happy x holiday to the Jewish people but not THESE specific Jewish people" as if a non Jew has any right to decide which Jewish folks get to be happy and celebrate their closed religious practice holidays and those who don't.
Either wish Jewish people a happy x holiday without the caveats or don't wish a happy x holiday at all.
