Mahmoud Darwish is a Palestinian poet, you'll hear people quoting the title of one of his poems a lot.
"On this land [exists] what deserves life."
"على هذه الأرض ما يستحق الحياة."
It's a long poem where he lists beautiful things and people in his day to day life that simply deserve life.
My favourite line is "the tyrants' fear of songs"
"خوف الطغاة من الاغنيات."

i find even well-meaning gentiles' version of antizionism that goes 'we need to make the world not antisemitic so that jews will not need israel anymore' extremely insidious and heinous. like sorry there is not a version of the argument of 'this entire country should not exist, a demand we will not make of any other country in the world, for things to improve' that you can make won't be extremely hypocritical and hateful. i won't even get into how unrealistic and unfeasible that is.

I recommend everyone to watch at least from 7:20 this video with Dara Horn.
It talks about antizionism isn't antisemitism, where that phrase and other similar phrases with the same meaning originated from and how that phrase lead to jews being killed and how it leads to antisemitism.
"Antizionism is not antisemitism" is not the "woke" idea that a lot of leftists think it to be. I assume a lot of folk who spout that didn't know where it came from.

the issue with hating bigots more than you care about minorities is that it becomes abhorrent to acknowledge that you could do a bigoted thing. so you spend all your time avoiding being called a bigot, lashing out at people who call you out and desperately convincing yourself that they're wrong, and none of your time not being a bigot

One thing about states in Australia banning the Nazi salute will mean that it's a lot harder to tell who is and isn't a nazi.
I mean it used to be as simple as someone doing the Hitler salute and you could point at them and go "that fucker is a Nazi"
Not so easy nowdays, now we've got people actively saying their not a Nazi and hiding their antisemitism behind actual legitimate discourse about Palestine. And to those people fuck you, because you are not only going to make the movement suffer because of your bigotry, but also I've got a tip for you.
There is a whole special slur just for Jews (the K word) that you to can use that will make it a whole hell of a lot easier to identify you as an anti-Semite.

Edit: soon to be jews can feel free to vote, you are jews for the purpose of this poll since you have a Jewish perspective, knowledge of basic Judaism and have probably experienced antisemitism

the anti israel boycotts appear particularly insidious when you consider the history of jewish immigrants in america. a lot of them would open restaraunts or shoppettes. my own jewish great-grandparents opened a kosher deli, which, while no longer owned in our family, still exists and is still a deli. I have living aunts and uncles who worked there while the original family members who opened it were still alive. so many places like these still exist-- how many of these are now being targeted because of these boycotts? how many have had their livelihoods at risk? how many risk losing an important part of their family history? how many are scared to open the doors each morning and close them again each night? all for the crime of existing as a jew.
these protesters have proven over and over again, while they insist all day that antizionism isnt antisemitism, that they cannot actually differentiate the jewish people from the modern country israel. it's pure evil. all the more damning when you remember what the early attempts at alienating jews in germany looked like (hint: the nazis encouraged boycotting jewish business)...

This from post i saw on tiktok, despise not being active ive been reposting lot of post concerning all these genocides happening cause i feel like it is important to educate ourselves on what���s happening in the world. Especially when our gouvernement and medias dont speak up about whats happening or lie to us about it.
I also hate when people see queer people speaking up for the innocents being k**led in those countries and tell these queer activist « you know those countries dont care about queer people right? They hate queers » and how are those queer people who live in those countries are suppose to be free from oppression if theyre being sl***htered?
Also if you call yourself a feminist or an activist but you dont educate yourself on these injustices happening in the world then you are not a feminist nor an activist. Feminism isnt only about equality among men an women its about equality for all. Even if you only speak about womens issues youre meant to speak about for all women youre meant to educate yourself about all the injustices that happen against women all around the world.
And if you think your voice doesnt matter,it does the boycotting of brands have an impact, speaking up about whats happening have an impact. Use your voice for those that can not speak up for themselves cause trust me it has an impact for exemple here in France,the president banned pro palestine protest but it didnt do anything. In fact french people kept protesting and it made the president call for a ceasefire so yes our voices and actions do have an impact. The more people educate themselves and speak up the better,the more people speak up and take actions like boycotting and protesting the more impact itll have.
And last thing some of y’all really need to learn the difference between antisemitism and antizionism cause saying that supporting palestine is antisemitism is crazy. Also zionist love to act like Is*ael loves jews yet i saw a documentary showing a holocaust survivor picking up vegetables from the ground of a market to feed himself, they treat holocaust survivor like crap in is**el.
Taking a bit of your time to do your research doenst take long so please do so.

actually, no. antizionism is antisemitism. zionism, by definition, is believing in the jewish people's right to live in their home land.
you do not have to be an antizionist to be against israel's government, just like any citizen of any country can be against something their government is doing and not hate the country they live in. shocker, isnt it?
you do have to be an antisemite to claim that we have no ties to the land or our historic holy sites (as the UN does. look it up. unfortunately bbc was the only non-jewish news site i could find that even spoke about the erasure of our history).
tell me, in what way is antizionism not antisemitism? because i havent seen anything that separates the two - in fact, the more i see that thrown around, the more i see the inherent antisemitism.
i hope that all of you well meaning individuals (cough, goyim) will reblog this and truly reflect on what you are marching for. ask questions. study our history. maybe learn about how israel is the only democratic state in the region (ever since tunisia's downgrade to a hybrid regime), and ask yourself and others why. ask, in what way is your antizionism not antisemetic?
what are you marching for?

What is with people’s obsession with defending zionism? It’s a terrible ideology rooted in colonialism. Why are they so obsessed with wanting to separate zionists from the zionism being used to oppress Palestinians? How can you be a supporter of Palestinian liberation and also be a zionist? It’s actually an oxymoron????? They want their little ethnostate so bad but they also don’t want to look like the bad guys and genuinely believe they’re being allies for wanting to “share the land” via a 2state solution. I lose braincells every time I see these kind of posts tbh.
i feel like when you say its an "intracommunity" issue you're 1) deliberately excluding palestinians which. no. and 2) implying that jews have a unique definition that is separate from the very real violence that israel enacts, which fundamentally links judiasm with the concept of zionism and you shouldn't.
so like centering the discussion of "well different jews have different definitions" as if palestinians haven't seen it all and haven't taken steps to educate people in our lives about the difference. i think they're doing wayyyyyy more harm than good and if they genuinely want to discuss it, my askbox is open but until then you look a lot like those people who think all forms of antizionism is antisemitism.
again — it doesn't matter what people define zionism as. you see the complete decimation being done in the name of zionism. if you see that and think "but my zionism is ok :)" then i don't trust you. and i don't think they should be platformed in any capacity.
the article itself really tries to blur the lines of zionism and antizionism which is the most harmful part. i think you should never platform someone who claims they're a zionist in any capacity because that lends itself to muddying waters which is... what israel is doing with their definitions of zionism. in that case, yeah, i think you should correct people but that article denies that palestinians have been doing the work and intentionally ignoring them is racist. like they don't want to listen to us very obviously lol.
and like — incredibly annoying take as if this blurring between lines of zionism and antizionism isnt very core part of israeli propaganda lol

what are your thoughts on this post? (i hope the link doesnt kill this ask, i’m not sure how to edit it so it doesnt so that):
https://(…)www.tumblr.com/(…)tributary/(…)732119807094390785/(…)maybe-i-do-if-it-isnt-the-tea-youve-been
(if this ask goes thru, deleting the parentheses-ellipses should make it work)
brendanicus sucks bc he’s an anti-Black pos, so i’m not seeking to defend him. but i feel like claiming it’s anti-semitic to criticize US media (which has imperialist and capitalist reasons to be pro-israel) is somewhat of a reach, as well as saying the use of the term “blood money” (which we all know is a common term, and an applicable one with how much international funding israel gets to support it’s military violence) is an anti-semitic dogwhistle… i’m not jewish, so i’m not an expert. i sent an ask to a different jewish tumblr user about this post, but they decided i was anti-semitic (for disagreeing with the post, but also bc apparently i was accusing jews of being liars). however, that user seems to have some pro-israel bias and thinks anti-zionism is rooted in anti-semitism, so idk how much stock i can put in their assessment. i’ve been trying to remain self-aware, but things are getting confusing for me when leftists that i thought were anti-zionist are claiming it’s anti-semitic to support palestine
i think im blocked by op because whenever i try to put in the link it says theres nothing there. can someone send me a screenshot?
dont mean to start beef but brendanicus is mad annoying ngl, and his posts are not always the most informed. but anyways. i think i saw his post earlier so ill try to infer, though i dont know what the persons comment is. i dont think "blood money" is antisemitic. as you said its a common term and its also an accurate description. i find this so fucking ridiculous for people to keep getting accused of antisemitism just for basically pointing out that israel is violent and a lot of western money goes into supporting israel- these have to do with capitalism and imperialism not secret jewish plots.
im probably blocked for antizionism crimes tbh, which shows you all you need to know. quite frankly a lot of so called leftists are actually liberals who never really interrogated their beliefs and dont care to study and engage with history and theory. they maintain a liberal mentality, on power and violence and ideology, and especially the jumblr users on here really still believe a lot of zionist propaganda. thats why theyre claiming its antisemitic to support palestine. thats simply it. ive been really trying show why its not antisemitic to criticize biased imperialist media and its just a basic part of marxist analysis and its doing more harm than good to call this antisemitic.
