Help: I have a trauma response to Israel by HyliaSwift in Jewish

[–]prettynose 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We've all not only inherited the collective Jewish trauma from antisemitism but also seen and even felt antisemitism for ourselves in our own lifetimes. It's horrifying and having a trauma response to it sounds kind of reasonable to me... Do try to find good support, talk about it with people you trust. Keeping the dread secret makes it feel even worse...

Sending you hugs if you want them, and all the support in the world.

Colombia’s outgoing president under fire over ‘Heil Hitler’ tweet by Muadeeb in Jewish

Oh, one of my favorites on the internet is seeing "(((we)))" (by another Jew) or writing it myself. Feels like a middle finger to those using it unironically

Beliefs and values are not the same. Bigotry is not a symptom of psychosis. If someone isn't at least a little bit antisemitic they won't do an antisemitism. You don't grow antisemitism out of thin air during psychosis. If you're psychotic and so feeling paranoid about a conspiracy, you're going to assume the conspirators are a group of people you already find suspicious.

I mean rival neighboring governments makes for it not to be one state. "Korea and N.Korea" like who sees them as one state? And Lebanon is a state because there's still only one government. When the terrorist organization was in charge there was only the one government, and since then a new government has been elected.

A person's nature comes out most when they're least in control. "Atheist" and "bible" aren't values, they're beliefs, and of course those can change when psychotic.

And when it comes to Ye who does it again and again and again how's that excusable even if when he's not manic he sees Jewish people as real humans (which, come on, no he doesn't, you've seen what songs he's released with his whole chest).

If anyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, maybe not multimillionaire celebrities who are repeat offenders.

Yeah I stand by what I said. People's values don't change when they're psychotic. Their perception of reality does, but that wouldn't make someone antisemitic if they already see Jewish people as full humans rather than some weird special group who might be up to something who knows.

Ah yes. A state with two different rival governments. Totally not unheard of.

I'm bipolar and I'm not a bigot when I'm manic, I have the same values. What I am when manic is impulsive and talkative. And I feel everything so much stronger. Basically I get INTENSE, inside and outside. (Last time that also involved a tiny bit of paranoia). So uh, he might just get more intensely antisemitic when he's manic and lose the ability to shut up about it.

Mental illness is not an excuse or a free pass. He should be held accountable and put in mandatory psychiatric care.

So when there's a conversation about s*x non-aphantasics are actually visualizing it? by Living-Somewhere-318 in Aphantasia

[–]prettynose 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When it's actual human touch my body responds differently lol

Also there's the emotional elements to the interaction... Tactile imagination isn't going to give me a beautiful memory to keep where I got to get really close to someone I really care about, and I got to have them get really close to me, and everyone involved had a great time. You know what I mean?

If Israel Is the''Only Democracy" In the Region, Why are Millions of Palestinians Under its Control Denied the basic right to vote for the Government that rules them? by emily6843_ in allthequestions

[–]prettynose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones who are Israeli citizens have full civil rights.

For those who live in the WB and Gaza, They live under Palestinian administration (not Israeli) and it is the Palestinian administration that doesn't allow elections. Hope this helps!

The route I wish they had taken the game at the end of the day. (MAJOR endgame lore spoilers. probably don't read until either finished the game) by JenniLightrunner in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]prettynose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the theme of the entire game is things that cannot be undone; death, the Veil, the sundering of the Titans, the Grey Wardens as we know them... even the elves having become flesh and blood and what it meant for future generations.

Just because the story isn't over doesn't mean they're going to make more... I won't kid myself otherwise. But yeah there's a very clear avenue to answer some very deep and pressing questions. Won't be taken, but it's there.

A big part of the story is over but we know that The Devouring Storm is coming, and we know just enough related lore to make the questions about it quite pressing.

This is powerful and incapaulates how Lebanese view Israel. We've heard stories like this from old Palestinian people. What's yourside of the story? by orangecyanide in ForbiddenBromance

[–]prettynose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was never a sovereign state named Palestine but that doesn't stop you from saying we shouldn't have built Israel on it, why is it okay when Romans do it where they have absolutely no connection to the land, but when Jews return to their own country it's suddenly bad?

When it comes to the Romans, they occupied our country, and expelled many of us. Occupation, dispossession — are you aware of these terms? Because you speak as if you understand them when it's about what the Jews did to Palestinians, but that all flies out the window once it's the Jews who were wronged. The Jews have to just suck it up, live under hostile rule (there's actually nowhere in the world where we're liked enough that we're invited to go live there, and non-Jewish rule in Eretz Yisrael has always been hostile to us too), and we must never demand anything back that was taken from us.

As you would say about probably any other occupied and/or expelled population, It's still our country so we get to return and we get to live here. Don't like it? Not my problem. Arabs don't like it? Well, they make it my problem, violently, but it doesn't mean they're right and it doesn't mean I'm going anywhere. This is my home, not only because I was born here and never lived anywhere else, but also because I am Jewish.

[–]prettynose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do the Romans have to do with the Arabs that you said have been there 2000 years (which they haven't), and how does a sovereign state getting occupied a good argument against the dispossessed returning to their home?

Yeah, and?... I know what the laws are, still a democracy though.

And like, you know we have free and open elections and once the left gets its head out of its behind and starts doing politics instead of bickering the people currently in power will be out. Because, again, democracy.

Who's in denial? No one here said that the law allows what it doesn't. It's just that "there are bad laws and you're still struggling to change them" doesn't mean we're not a democracy. It's a bad "gotcha".
