Double Standards (light it up):

You know, in light of everything going on in Colombia U and Harvard, etc., I wonder -

They say harassing random people and murder and rape and the vandalism of (everything Jewish) is ok, bc it's "retaliation".

Continue this line of thoughts, does it mean I get Carte Blanche to burn a local mosque?

After all, my family had been oppressed for wayyy more than 75 years under the Yemeni occupation. We were exiled and had to flee for our lives. My grandma told me stories about their journey, the little she remembers. She nearly died.

(we think she had a brother who did)

Also, does it mean I'm allowed to go and beat up anyone wearing a cross?

I mean, my other grandma's cousins were murdered by Christians in Auschwitz-Birkenau (her grandad survived and came to live with them in Israel after the holocaust. But that's another story.)

*for the record - idk how your family things go, but I met most of this grandma's cousins and can name/give a detail about at least half of them. Also just last weekend we talked about her aunt that died as her refugee's ship broke halfway through the journey to Israel. I know this story and the ship name and the aunt and her kids since I was a kid. So yes, those memories are part of my life.)

And I guess people shouldn't be able to talk Spanish in public. After all, we all Know what They did in 1492.

But why going back so much?

There's exile of Jews from Iran in the 70s. But you'll never hear about it.

You'll never hear about the way we were kicked from Afghanistan and Lybia and Tunisia (where, btw, a mob burnt down an ancient synagogue this very year.)

No one's talking about how jews were kicked out of Egypt.

(this is how ppl sound. If that make you think "well, actually -"then, why isn't it never applied to us?)

#spain #retaliation #yeah right #double standards #goyim can reblog #so fucking tired of this #if i had a nickel #for every country we WEREN'T exiled from #I don't think I'd have 2 nickels #honestly #exiled #murdered #or oppressed any other way #like in the Hijaz - you can't Exile the Jews if Jews aren't allowed to live there in first place #you know #or the uk in the 1200s iirc #or USSR #can't exile jews if you don't allow judaism #ancient Egypt is sort of the counterpoint #but it's more like “oh no you can't let those slave go! they are mine!”#antisemism #antisemitism #antisemism all the way down #hi do you remember how western culture is literally based on the oppression of jews?#that were not allowed to own land and in some places were only allowed to qork with money #which means the local monarch could always point at them as “those who take the money”#and if there were financial issues #just exile/kill them and take away all their things #who cares about them greedy dirty jews anyway?#jumblr
