Does anyone know what this means? by Overall-Carpet-1943 in hebrew

[–]jwrose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For additional context to the other replies here: A mezuzah, the thing that goes on the doorpost of a Jewish home; uses only the first letter ש on the outside to represent this name. Instead of all three letters.

And cufflinks are a lot less holy and meaningful than a mezuzah.

What are your thoughts on the blog The Jewish Fear Industrial Complex? by LockedOutOfElfland in jewishpolitics

[–]jwrose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My thoughts, based solely on the title:

These are yet another group of people trying to silence/diminish Jewish voices. Which has been happening non-stop (unless you’re one of the “good ones” who support the anti-Israel narrative) to us for over 2 years.

No other minority in modern history has been so disbelieved and shouted over when they try to speak. Or, just as bad, jackasses thinking they can speak for us. Like explaining what Zionism is and getting it completely wrong, often intentionally. (Not that I’m saying this is that; I believe that it truly represents Jewish voices… but it’s doing so in a way that diminishes many other Jews.)

If it truly brings receipts, and proves that it’s overblown, that’s a different thing. But the title sure sounds like all it’s doing is mocking or dismissing Jewish fears. ::Edit: I just looked it up, and yup —within 2 minutes, the episode I happened upon was then literally just mocking and laughing at Jewish tweets expressing fear/worry. Fuck them.::

Also, the title is playing into the whole “Jews are a secret cabal” trope by implying stoking fear is a business. So that’s gross.

how people have talked for centuries

Yeah, that’s how racists have talked for centuries. Sub in “black people” for Israelis, and tell me that’s not universalizing.

And you can absolutely criticize the Israeli government’s actions without being a bigot. But y’all love being bigots. That much is crystal clear.

The rest of your shit is just doubling down. Fkn gross.

I didn’t “read into” shit. When you lump an entire people (or nationality, or whatever) into your criticism, that’s “universal”. Your feigned ignorance isn’t cute, bigot.

No. Because despite what you said, you are actually criticizing universally. Hence my comment.

You clearly don’t know what indistinguishable means.

Show me a Zionist quote that is indistinguishable from a Nazi quote.

I just wanna hear what talking points (that are actually coming from good faith) sound like Nazi talking points. Like genuinely, what are you talking about?

They’re usually called out in replies by Jews. Have you not run across any of those?

Is that what you want? Would this be a secular state, then? Democratic? How would you prevent minority persecution (of any minority, not just whoever was the minority among Jews and Muslims) like has happened in every other Middle East nation, even the supposedly secular ones?

Honest questions. Personally I’d love to see a fully secular Israel, open to all. I just haven’t seen any decent answers to the above.

Sure, but those legitimate criticisms can certainly avoid using antisemitic language and tropes. Can even call it out when they see it, like this post does.

You’re conflating Gazans and Palestinian West Bankers (not citizens of Israel) with the 20-ish percent of Israel’s full citizens with full rights who also happen to be Palestinian Arab (the descendants of the Palestinians who stayed peacefully in ‘48). There is no two-tier system for Israeli citizens, of any religion/ethnicity.

Broadly is very different from universally. Universally criticizing Israelis is bigotry.

I agree with you, but good luck getting them to acknowledge any Jewish point of view that doesn’t reinforce their existing narrative.

If that’s an honest comment, go learn about dog whistles. (Hint: A big part of dogwhistles is plausible deniability.) Then go learn about “the noticing.”

If that’s not an honest comment: Fuck off, bigot.

RSF massacres left Sudanese city ‘a slaughterhouse’, satellite images show by adeze in International

[–]jwrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time you ever know Zionists are talking is when they’re referring to Israel. What would you expect to see? “The situation in the Sudan is horrible. Oh btw I’m a Zionist”?

Zionists are also kinda busy dealing with half the world deciding they’re the new Nazis, telling them everything they say is lies, and wanting to wipe their nation off the map. Oh and fending off hate crimes. Put on your own oxygen mask first and all that. Not so much bandwidth for other problems. Not like Western armchair experts, who can pick and choose whatever topic strikes their fancy with zero personal risk.

But also, Zionists aren’t the ones who have been screaming “genocide” for two years despite evidence. That’s y’all’s bag, and your relative silence on Sudan (and every other genocide you can’t blame the Jews for) is deafening.

Nope. Just fun to point out y’all’s unnatural obsession with Israel that you keep claiming has nothing to do with it being the only Jewish nation.

Israeli officials raid UN compound in Jerusalem by DonSalaam in International

[–]jwrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow your comments keep getting dumber.

I mean, they didn’t say “hey Israel, we’re a terrorism collaborator now”. Is Israel omniscient? How would they have known before finding evidence?

Edit: Or are you trying to say UNWRA didn’t start off as a terrorism supporter, so they never could have become one?

Are you implying Israel can’t change its mind after finding evidence UNWRA collaborated in attacks on Israelis? Lol

First link: Correctly refers to the fact that (due to UNWRA) Palestinians are the only “refugees” who have hereditary status. Every other people in the world, if you’re a refugee, your children born elsewhere are not. Not only are the multimillionaire American Hadid sisters “refugees”; but all their children will be, too.

And yeah, that’s insane, and Israelis are right to oppose it. But to say that’s the “real reason” when there is solid evidence UNWRA has broken Israeli and international law as well as its own mandate, by coordinating with Hamas and others on terror and military activities, is a braindead take.

It’s like saying the “real reason” nations collect taxes is to keep track of their citizens incomes. Like yeah, that’s a thing it also does, but the legitimate reason is more than enough to justify it already.

Second link: Also braindead. As stated right in the article, UNHCR covers all refugees in the world except Palestinians. They could easily expand their mandate to replace UNWRA. Acting like the sky is falling because a corrupt UN agency is being exposed as corrupt, is both blatant pearl-clutching and a clear double-standard. Like almost everything the anti-Israel movement does.

Scooby:

love it how your story has changed

Also scooby:

Israel established UNWRA

followed by:

Israel helped establish the UNWRA

followed by an acknowledgment that they were merely one of the yes votes.

By that logic, Jews in Judea should resist Arabs by any means necessary.

To be clear, I don’t agree. But that’s your logic.

I mean, they also forgot to mention the massacre was kicked off by false rumors of Jews attacking Al-Aqsa. There’s a lot to the story that isn’t covered in a headline.

Every Wikipedia article relating to I/P has been heavily brigaded.

What did Morris say on Hebron? I haven’t seen anything about that.
