this shalom aleichem
is shaky and sad
and every verse rhymes
with a tear
the candle flames (lit
seventeen minutes late)
are alight
unlike any hearts here
the angels of shabbos
both look the scene over
then turn to each other
and both heave a sigh
may it be like this next week
the evil one utters
amen
says the good one
the evil asks
why?
this home is a mess
and the people are too
yes, the food is prepared
but that’s all they could do
upset and unsettled
the bed left unmade
the table unset
and the lighting delayed
this shabbos is laden
with hurt and with pain
so how can you see this
and answer ‘amen’?
may it be like this next week
the good one replies
(watching the people
with tears in their eyes)
that candles are kindled
before the sun sets
that through all their struggles
they manage to rest
to honor shabbat
in the ways that they may
they gave it their best
and they got through the day
may it be like this weekly
in every domain
the evil one sighs
and then answers
amen
as shalom aleichem
soon draws to its end
the angels depart
as the lyrics ascend
the house is still filthy
the troubles don’t cease
yet still, here we are
blessing angels of peace
may peace be upon you
they pray in return
perhaps not this week
but the candles still burn

just to be completely clear, the amount of military power and political influence Israel has has NOTHING to do with its settlers being Jewish. Israel is a force for American & European interests in the region and they're just doing what America does and allows/encourages its close allies to do.
war crimes aren't considered war crimes when someone America finds useful is doing them. european and american pushback against anyone criticizing Israeli apartheid & genocide is 100% because these crimes are useful to American & European hegemony.
Governments that are deeply antisemitic, like France, aren't suddenly caring about Jewish people. Jewish people, persecuted the world over, don't hold some kind of hegemonic power outside of Israel.
The state of Israel and its attendant brutal treatment of the locals are both incredibly useful to the US, and American hegemony means we're expected to celebrate both.
not bc they're Jewish. this isn't a break in the pattern of western antisemitism and it's not evidence that antisemitism doesn't exist.
it's just like how you could get fired for saying shit against the US war in Afghanistan when i was growing up. it is 100% about US military and political interests (ok slightly western europe too but lbr)
#this widespread support has NOTHING to do w Israelis being Jewish apart from evangelicals wanting to use them as pawns for armageddon#the primary reason this is all being treated like it's ok is cuz it's useful to the usa#i feel like this post is going to bring terrible ppl into my inbox but i'm gonna leave it rebloggable for now#if our (US+EU) governments push back at all it will be because it stops being useful to us#either because Israel isn't doing this as quickly & efficiently as promised and it looks like Palestine might actually do some damage#or if it otherwise becomes too politically costly by causing too much tension between the US & other nationstates#either allies like Saudi or if states we aren't quite ready to have war w seem to be ready to throw down over it

If you’re not Jewish/Muslim/Israeli/Palestinian and you are talking publicly in any way about the i/p conflict you should probably do your research about dog whistles and take that info seriously. It shouldn’t be up to affected groups to educate you while actively being triggered and traumatized.
It’s not fun to constantly worry if your friends secretly hate you or if they are sliding into antisemitic spaces or are ok with genocide as long is against the right group of people.
You aren’t free of antisemitism or Islamophobia just because you don’t sit around thinking, “I hate Jews/Muslims/Arabs.” This shit is structural. I don’t care how many Jews or Muslims or Arabs you know. If you haven’t actively deconstructed your own bias against these groups, you’re probably still hateful whether you realize it or not.
#not sorry#I dare a goy to reblog this challenge#antisemitism#leftist antisemitism#islamophobia#most of your Jewish friends probably think you’re one bad conversation away from cheering for our deaths#I’m not Muslim or Arab#but I wouldn’t be shocked id they feel the same way#goys do the work challenge

if yall go into the inboxes of random jewish folks and ask for their opinions on the palestine/israel conflict just because they’re jewish, fuck you. genuinely, fuck you. stop doing that. you aren’t supporting palestinians by harassing random jewish folks on the internet, you’re just being an antisemitic asshole. y’all are doing the exact same thing as assholes who would go up to random muslim folks after 9/11 and ask them their thoughts on the taliban. it’s fucking gross. if you actually care about victims of the war, donate to charities or funds. share posts and information about the situation. don’t fucking harass jewish people.
#the entitlement of some gentiles is through the fucking roof#Why do we feel the need to do this#i’m not jewish i barely know that much about Jewish culture or judaism and this is basic fucking common sense#you claim to care about war victims but you’re just antisemitic pieces of shit#antisemitism#antisemetism tw#antisemetism#antisemitism tw#palestine#free palestine#jewish#antisemitic bullshit

Antisemitism Required Reading
I get a lot of ignorant comments & tags on my posts about antisemitism, and I’ve already spent way too much time & energy engaging with them. So to preserve my sanity, I’ve made the decision not to engage too deeply with any commenters who haven’t at least read all of these in their entirety:
“Jewish Space Lasers” by Mike Rothschild
“People Love Dead Jews” by Dara Horn
“Jews Don’t Count” by David Baddiel
"More Than a Century of Antisemitism", GEC Special Report
If you’re not Jewish, please read all of this literature before adding anything to my posts about antisemitism.
Jews, please add any books you think should be on the list!
#I'll be adding and updating this post as I find & vet anything I feel should be required reading#antisemitism#people love dead jews#jews don't count#jewish space lasers#required reading#reading list#dara horn#david baddiel#more than a century of antisemitism#mike rothschild#jewish history

Alright let's imagine a scene that is all too normal in palestine. A palestinian business owner finds his building covered in graffiti stars of Davids and Hebrew that says "gas the arabs" and "death to arabs"
Now imagine there's a reporter there and asks the palestinian business owner what happens and they say "the jews attacked my business"
Pause. Now your response might be "uncle no. Say israelis not jews" and then this is when he would look at you like youre stupid because the israelis doing this are jewish. They are not the Christians or the druze or the palestinian ones with Israeli citizenship. They are Jewish israelis who believe in their religious supremacy. When you graffiti stars of david all over a palestinian business, car, or the street you seek that conflation. it sends a message, this is jewish land and you're next.
The problem is that these videos circulate in zionist circles. "Watch this video of children in gaza calling for the death of jews" "watch how they say they want to fight and kill jews" those children are referring to Israeli soldiers that come in night and do their raids with the star of David attached to their uniform or the ones that bomb them. It's easy to watch those videos and assume that palestinians are indoctrinating their children on anti semitism or you can realize that those children's only interaction with jewish ppl is through violence and parents cannot protect their children from this. Doesn't matter context is lost
Abby Martin went to Jerusalem and interviewed israelis for 2 hours and she says every israeli was extremely confident to say that this land is for them and that they should push the Arabs out and when she interviewed palestinians they spoke of freedom from occupation and their dreams. That's reality. Not the soundbites.
And yet we have invasive youtubers and interviewers constantly in the street of ramallah or wherever in palestine asking palestinians "do you hate jews?" And in those videos you hear those palestinians say "no we have no problem with jews we have a problem with occupation and we have a problem with zionism." Bc this is how we are trained to respond to this trope. Palestinians are very aware what the world thinks of us and the reality is that many palestinians have internalized it and we grow up reading books on the Holocaust and train ourselves to recognize anti semitic dog whistles so zionists don't get the soundbites they want.
So we say "anti zionism is not anti semitism" and we say "israeli zionists" and we do not say "jewish supremacy" even thought it exists in palestine but "zionist supremacy" and in these carefully worded speech we water down what is happening to us in an effort to not deter people away from solidarity. But it means nothing. The world categorically blames palestinians for rising anti semitism they blame us for jewish insecurity globally.

after too long in exile
I hear Yiddish
and feel immediately
at home.
I hear Yiddish
and the rhythms sound
like family.
I hear Yiddish
and my heart yearns
for more.
I hear Yiddish
feel Yiddish
want Yiddish
am Yiddish
I hear Yiddish
and I do not understand
a word.
#jumblr#judaism#yiddish#poetry#jewish poetry#dandelion poetry#jewish dandelion#galut#diaspora#ashkenazi jewish#jewish feels#what a strange sort of pining it is#when the thing you are aching for is itself a language of exile

Ya know what shout out to butches who wrestle with our butchness because we don’t fit the mold in some way. Butches who aren’t physically strong or naturally caretaking because of physical disability, who need to be cared for, who can’t hold open the door for a femme. Butches with long hair, butches with big hair, butches who express their culture via their hair. Butches who’s masculinity is shaped by their culture, who’s masculinity doesn’t fit the white eurocentric mold. Fat butches, butches with curves viewed as feminine, butches who don’t have skinny, boyish builds. Butches who don’t want to be sexualized, butches on the ace spectrum. Butches who don’t have traditionally masculine interests or mannerisms or whatever. Effeminate butches. Butches who take inspo from gay men. Butches who like the occasional dress or skirt. TRANSFEM BUTCHES!!!!! And any other butches who don’t fit a certain mold!! All butches are good butches and we are all valid.
#I’ve wrestled with butch identity for a long time#Because I’m physically disabled and I am also Jewish and I love my hair and masculinity is Different in the Jewish community#I relate to how gay men do gender and am not traditionally masculine#I am fat and have a “mom bod” type of build#Etc etc#I have put so many standards on myself but why? I know who I am better than anyone. And I know I’m a butch!#It feels right and comfortable on every level#And that is what matters!!! Send post!#Kitty meows#Butch#Butchness#Butch lesbian#Butch identity#butch positivity

So I headcanon Eddie as Jewish and I think that once the kids graduate and no more crazy shit happens in Hawkins, Steve follows Robin to whatever college she wants to go to, and Eddie follows Steve. Probably a big city like Chicago or Boston or New York.
Eddie scours the city for Jewish delis, ordering a bagel with lox or pastrami on rye at every one, wanting to find the best. It’s at one of these delis that he meets a bunch of older Jewish women looking for a mahjong player. See Rose just moved to Boca because the winter is bad on her knees so they need a new fifth and Eddie’s a Nice Jewish Boy and he likes games so he offers to join them.
Turns out he’s not that good at it. It doesn’t hold his attention like D&D while also moving too fast for him to follow. He’s too indecisive about hands, trying to switch late in the round.
But Steve… Steve LOVES mahjong. Steve is good at mahjong.
Cut to every Thursday night, Steve going off to Diane or Sylvie’s house to play mahjong with a bunch of old ladies. They adore Steve and how sweet he is, always helping them clean up the tiles and get to their cars.
“And he’s so handsome, isn’t he Ruth? If he weren’t dating Eddie, he’d be perfect for my granddaughter. Such a mensch.”
Because they know about Eddie and Steve. It’s easy to see when you know what to look for and Sarah and Ruth have been roommates since 1967.
So they play and gossip and eat snacks and exchange recipes. Steve asks for creative meals during Passover since he’s got a picky eater. They assume it’s one of the kids he babysits. It’s actually Eddie.
Just give me Steve hanging out with cool old ladies, being a little bitchy, eating rugelach, and taking Eddie out to dinner on his winnings.
#stranger things#steddie#headcanon#jewish eddie munson#i play mahjong and I’m not that good but i feel like steve would be#you have to see patterns and you have to move quick#also steve knows jewish stuff is important to eddie so he wants to be supportive

I don't think I can say this with enough emphasis--if you are not Jewish, you don't get to decide what is and is not antisemitic.
There's no ambiguity here. Zero. I am sick and tired of being lectured at by goyim about how, 'oh, ackhtually, your explanation of how my words are antisemitic is off! You're trying to stop the discussion by being inflammatory!'
Or to be told that I am cheapening the term antisemitism, and that people used to react to it before October 7th, but now they're numb to it, which is just what happens you start using serious accusations for political means!
It's... genuinely astonishing to me. I'm consistently amazed by the arrogance, audacity, and disrespect it takes for you guys to lecture Jews on what antisemitism is.
Have any of you goyim experienced antisemitism firsthand? Is it your people who's experienced antisemitism for 3000 years? Is it you who has family members rescued by Schindler? Was it your ancestors who fled from constant, unending pogroms in with nothing but the clothes on their backs? Have you ever had someone tell lies to your friend about you sexually harassing people because you're a Jew? Have you ever had to sit and think whether you should mark down that you're Jewish on a job application? Have you ever felt unsafe and compelled to take off your Star of David because you've been afraid you'd be attacked? Have you ever had to worry about a professor who constantly brings up the war in class marking your assignment down because it talks about Israel being a democracy? Have you ever had the feeling of acid being splashed on your soul when you see antisemitic comments? The ice water rushing down your spine when someone is antisemitic to your face, and you feel the weight of 3 millennia of oppression bearing down on you?
No? Not you?
Then sit your ass down, and frankly, shut the fuck up.
#antisemitism#leftist antisemitism#left wing antisemitism#jumblr#jewblr#jewish#i wish i knew where they get the confidence to say these things#because I would love to tap into it#idc how much of an ally you think you are. if you have a PhD in Jewish Studies. you NEVER get to make that call. Ever#every minority gets to determine what constitutes prejudice against them#except us Jews#antizionism#non Jews feel free to reblog

just in case you're wondering how bad antisemitism is online by now: my friend had to take down the memorial post she made on IG for her dad and stepmum (who died less than a week ago) bc people were spamming it with "free palestine" and "two less zionists is a good thing" comments
#antisemitism#I'm. tired#why is it that we are never allowed to grieve? why is our pain always politicised? why does it feel like jewish pain never matters?#what are we supposed to do with our grief and our pain and our sorrow? where are we allowed to put it?#I told a pal from uni abt it and was told to 'stop playing the victim' :)

Just saw someone on Twitter complain about the lack of Japanese people in Oppenheimer, and what did you expect??? Did you want the final act to be the bomb dropping and see people burning alive???
The reason why we don't see a Japanese perspective is because one, including a Japanese perspective, just to see how bad the suffering was would be exploitation. Two, to see an accurate and sensitive take on how the japanese felt about Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan (as incredible as he is) isn't the right person to do this. And three, it's based on Oppenheimer's biography
Oppenheimer, the movie, literally shows you people (mostly the superiors, because by the middle/end of it you see Oppenheimer regretting his creation) doing something dubious and inhumane because they removed themselves away, both emotionally and physically, from the people they are hurting.
Nagasaki and Hiroshima only exist in those men's distant thoughts and imaginations. One guy literally asks to take a city off the bombing because that's where he had his honeymoon. It's disturbing and unsettling, as if those people were not real human beings. The lack of Japanese people drives the entire point home.
Also, Japanese cinema is right there. Barefoot Gen, Grave of the Fireflies, or Hiroshima (responsible for showing to many Americans the effects of the bombs for the first time) are just a few of the many, many decades of post-war Japanese movies we have
#important to say this just my opinion and im more than glad to talk and discuss about it#also i dont think a single person left this movie thinking Oppenheimer was the greatest person ever or left as a pro atomic bomb#you could literally feel the entire room's tension after the trinity test scene and what that meant when they succeeded#as the movie ended almost everyone was in silence i left that room in complete silent#its also important to say that although i do say the scientists didn't thought about the suffering japanese people would go through#this is more a dig forwards the superiors not the scientists because a lot of the scientists (Oppenheimer included) were jewish#so they were creating that people with the sole purpose of stoping the nazis and not hurt civilians#also to the people that keep saying 'oh what was japan doing/dont act like japaneses were innocent' dude i get what youre saying#but do you honestly believe all those civilians deserved that??? they were civilians not all of them agreed to what was happening#oppenheimer#oppenheimer 2023#barbenheimer#christopher nolan#cilian murphy

sorry I'm not a photoshop master but would someone mind hanging this up in the SNW writers' room because I think we have all had enough
#Nimoy's portrayal of Spock is INTENTIONALLY Jewish coded and visibly queer coded#you can claim ignorance as a casual fan but as a writer it's your JOB to know and honour this shit#SNW has done ok with autistic coding of Spock but the erasure of the other stuff feels deliberate at this point#like cishet white nerd men want him to be like them so they make these bizarro choices that feel like a totally different person#sorry but he's not FOR you#he was NEVER for you#you already have everything else please just let him be the way he was intended to be#let us have one gd thing#why are the opinions of people who don't care about Star Trek's ethics and legacy more important than the opinions of the those who do#star trek#strange new worlds

#star trek snw#spock#judaism#leonard nimoy#also apology to leonard nimoy#i’m not even at the episode yet but i saw a bunch of spoilers on twt. and That clip#not to mention the nonsensical exaggerated gen z talk paramount put in the caption#not to ALSO mention the way they try so desperately to make him straight#quite harrowing from everything i’ve seen#yes i’m aware some jewish people don’t keep kosher and i don’t mean offense with this post#but many jewish trek fans feel it important to keep spock’s unabashed jewishness in tact#DISCLAIMER: i am not jewish. this post does not have significant weight and i do not wish to speak on behalf of jewish friends#lamb of blog
