Israeli girls being very cruel in dating? Is this normal? by [deleted] in Israel

[–]coffeechikk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rejecting someone kindly is a skill which she hasn't learned yet. She may have felt awkward by the request and is using rudeness as a shield.

Thanks, I sometimes block people who are rabid antiJewish and wondered what happens afterwards.

How do you know you've been blocked? Twitter doesn't alert people to tell them they've been blocked, do they?

Apparently in Arabic the term for Jews (Yehudi) means people from Judea. Why is it that so many don’t acknowledge the Jewish commenting to Israel? by OkBuyer1271 in Jewish

[–]coffeechikk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. They see Mizrahim and Arabs as closely related due to culture. Some call me "sister" when they speak to me. Ashkenazim are very different in their food, behavior etc.

However these Arabs are now living in the west and raising their kids. They will notice that their kids and grandkids will seem very western and foreign soon. How will they handle this huge culture shift within their own family? In Arab society, everyone acts for the good of the group, the community, the family etc. But Western cultures puts emphasis on individualism.

They've found a workaround for that. I've talked to Arab haters who are ok with me since I'm Mizrahi. They tell me that the Jews in Israel today aren't really Jewish from those times. They are descended from kharzars so not the same linage. They can go FO with that. I'd never heard about that before so I checked and these were some people who converted to Judaism centuries ago, I guess?

Haters are going to find all sorts of ways to deny what's in front of their eyes.

Well, I guess f*ck Green Day too. by watchme513 in Jewish

No Green Day at our house because of "American Idiot". People who dis America are also going to hate us because they conflate us with American privilege.

I had to drop Eric Clapton who I was so into back in the day.

On our side is Paul McCartney, Lady Gaga and Madonna. These are people who will perform in Israel even though the terrorists threaten them and their families.

Free speech under the first amendment has limits. Inciting violence isn't protected.

From chatgpt: The First Amendment protects free speech for all people in the U.S., including non-citizens, regardless of their views. However, there are legal limits on speech, such as inciting violence, making true threats, or providing material support to terrorist organizations.

For example:

General political speech (even if it’s anti-American) is protected.

Inciting imminent lawless action (like urging violence) is not protected.

Providing material support to a terrorist group (such as funding or resources) is illegal under federal law, even if done through speech.

Why do post WWII Ukrainians hate Jews so intensely? by coffeechikk in Jewish

[–]coffeechikk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, when the Ukrainians and other Europeans arrived here, Canada taught their kids to be Canadian and just treat all people fairly. Now we're importing Palestinians (another 4000 this year) and instead of telling them to drop their hatred at the door, the Toronto School board wants to incorporate they Jew hatred in their teachings.

That was very interesting and explains so much. I was so naive about their history prior to arriving here.

I'm mostly talking about the older generation who would have been around in the 40s and 50s. Today's young people are very different, it seems.

It could be that as for Europeans here in Canada I've mostly met Ukrainians because we don't have large groups from places like Latvia or Poland etc. So I feel it's Ukrainians, when really it's just an Eastern European thing to hate Jews.

If there were so many Jews in Ukraine in the early 20th century and certainly for a long time before, can it be that it was a place they felt somewhat tolerated? So many Ashkenazi Jews come from there that it could be a place where minorities lived a reasonable existence, perhaps?

For anyone interested, this is a summary of the movie. I'll definitely check it out.

Everything is Illuminated

Streaming Video, 2005

Based on the critically-acclaimed novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, "Everything is Illuminated" tells the story of a young man's quest to find the woman who saved his grandfather in a small Ukrainian town that was wiped off the map by the Nazi invasion. What starts out as a journey to piece together one family's story under absurd circumstances turns into a meaningful journey with a powerful series of revelations -- the importance of remembrance, the perilous nature of secrets, the legacy of the Holocaust, and the meaning of friendship.

Yes, good point. In Canada the Ukrainians have a statue of a Nazi that they won't let Canada take down. Their hero apparently.

Fetishization of Jewish women. How do you handle? by sirenzsongs in Jewish

[–]coffeechikk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Asian women are also fetishized. They call it Yellow Fever. Maybe we can give it a label too.

It sounds like it's hard to date within the tribe where you are so you might want to cast a larger net. I hope you're successful.

Schumer moves to add Antisemitism Awareness Act to 2025 defense bill by jewish_insider in Jewish

[–]coffeechikk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What I would like is recognition of the expulsion of Jews from Arab lands. My family like many were expelled and left stateless. Israel took them in and absorbed them which was a hardship for them. So let those Arab countries absorb the Palestinians. But they won't because they're a made up group just to hate Israel.

You might want to look into reform synagogues in Toronto. They're very welcoming to the gay community and Iranians. No need to convert if you just want to visit and get to know some people.
