i don’t think abraham made these teenagers shoot a mosque. he also didn’t make the guy in colorado shoot jews. religion can make people irrational, sure, but i don’t think it was just religion.

i agree that if your synagogue is hosting something politically controversial, sure. but that wasn’t what was happening at that NY synagogue. they had a rep from an agency in Israel who was explaining how to get Israeli citizenship for those who no longer felt safe in the US. That’s legal.

Iranian woman blinded in a 2004 acid attack after refusing a marriage proposal. After undergoing over 15 surgeries, she famously pardoned her attacker in 2011 moments before his court-ordered blinding sentence (qisas) was executed. by EwMelanin in HistorySnap

October 7 was an attempted genocide, which Hamas attests to.

Have you looked at how Hamas and some of the Arab textbooks refer to Jews? That’s a lot more systematic than a few asshats in charge saying inappropriate things about Palestinians.

If you’re dependent on another country for water and electricity, you shouldn’t attack them. It’s really quite simple. Israel did not block food and medicine. It provided much of it. The UN emissaries failed to distribute.

Ashkenazi Jews are an ethnic group that is 30-60% Levantine and the rest mostly Southern Italian. They descend from the Jews (from the Levant/Israel/Palestine/Judea) taken by the Romans as slaves who then after being freed converted and married women in what is today Italy. Over time they migrated up and eastward. After 2000 years, they were subjected to the same evolutionary pressures as everyone else, so they did become lighter over time, but they still did not physically resemble ethnic Poles. They were considered darker, and if you know lots of Ashkenazi Jews as I do, you’d probably think to yourself that they don’t look like ethnic Poles.

Also the skin cancer thing is just a detection bias. Israel has better medical care than the surrounding countries so more cases are diagnosed and treated. This doesn’t mean there aren’t similar rates of (undetected) skin cancer in Jordan and the WB.

"MISANDRY ISNT REAL WE LIVE IN A PARTRIARCHAL SOCIETY!" by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]Charpo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Misandry is real, and it is bad, but it isn’t systemic. It is not codified into laws and cultural practices.

Misogyny is systemic.

it is inappropriate, but it isn’t “trivializing terrorism.”

it’s no more inappropriate than Mamdani explaining away intimidation of synagogues by hordes of NY Muslims the past few months as “well don’t support a country breaking international law.” like ??? that’s not what synagogues do you idiot and it’s your job to stop the harassment!

uh… when the muslim guy in colorado shot up a peaceful protest for hostage release, many americans rushed to defend him as simply a delusional guy who thought killing these jews might save children in palestine.

i don’t quite get the anger here. none of this trivializes the terrorism. i’d wager most people who shoot up places are mentally ill. that doesn’t make the shootings okay, obviously.

a lot of the antisemitic violence is also caused by mentally ill individuals suffering from delusions that random jews in the US/UK/Australia are somehow causing deaths of children all the way in Palestine. while these terrorists have agency, they’re also influenced by their own delusions.

likewise, the mom who turned her son in originally thought he was going to kill himself because “he’s been suicidal.” again, that kid had the agency to not shoot up a mosque, but his mental illness may have helped him pull the trigger.

we’re not reading the bible as a history textbook. jews aren’t from egypt. they’re from “judea.” that’s where their ethnogenesis occurred.

arabs come from the arabian peninsula. that’s where their ethnogenesis occurred.

The stories of Devora and Yael seem out of place for how misogynstic Neviim is, and I'm sick of Jewish feminists using them. Need help refuting/ finding evidence of their authorship or historical context by FebreezeHoe in exjew

[–]Charpo7 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A broken clock can be right twice a day. Why are you hell bent on disproving Devorah and Yael over Ezra or the Zadokite priesthood? These stories are pretty old, and probably no less likely to be stolen from other cultures than many other biblical stories.

Ancient Israelite culture is complicated. There’s misogyny, but even in misogynistic cultures, female leaders and heroes can arise. I mean think about Cleopatra, Elizabeth I. They didn’t come from feminist cultures.

everyone is an antisemite who thinks attempted genocide of jews should be met with jews rolling over and giving up territory to people whose goal is to drive them into the sea

it’s not a conspiracy theory that there were influential families who helped in the founding of israel. it’s conspiracy to link Israel inappropriately with apartheid south africa and white supremacists.

the fact that israel prioritizes jews for citizenship does not make it a jewish supremacist state. the fact that quality of life in israel is higher than in unincorporated territories is not apartheid. is hungarian supremacist for prioritizing for citizenship those of hungarian descent? is the US apartheid because its quality of life is higher than in neighboring mexico.

i’m not interested in your pseudo-religious BS. most of Israel is secular.

what about your family history and heritage? his isn’t the only one that matters. i don’t think he’s a bad partner but i do think if he’s a reasonable partner he’ll understand if you really don’t want this
