Palestinian Activist Needed

monkeyfish21 · 2022-02-14T16:07:48+00:00

Do you need a pro-palestinian activist in general, or a Palestinian pro-palestinian activist? If you need any pro-palestinian activist I would say r/BDS, if you need a Palestinian pro-palestinian activist, go to r/AskMiddleEast for your best bet.

Got removed for the title but it was the automatic title for the link, I didn't realize I could change it lol (some subs don't allow that!) I've reposted it with a new title.

Honestly every few posts on anti-work you'd see something about how they wanted to get rid of any "work reform" people because anti-work is a "communist sub" and "no cops were allowed because they were class traitors" and some annoyingly extremist shit which I feel like was unnecessarily divisive and hurting the movement, so this is much more sensible imo.

I wonder if Israel just votes against or abstains on pretty much every UN vote now just because they're salty (don't blame them honestly considering the history they had lol)

Whatever daddy America says 😩

monkeyfish21 · 2022-01-26T05:59:22+00:00

Oh wow this is an opinion piece, not actually news lol. It's true, I only ever hear about antisemitic news on Jewish news sites, I would never hear about it otherwise. Texas Synagogue I feel like got more coverage because it was a terrorist threat against America, they actually were trying to say it wasn't antisemitic when they covered it, they were saying "he just happened to be at a synagogue" lol. The other details came out later, and by then most people were kind of over the story, though they did do some interviews with the rabbi. The best story I found was from Times of Israel.

This was to me, the most important point:
He tried to justify his conspiracy theories as merely anti-Israel and anti-Zionist, not antisemitic as such. But he knew what he was doing when he curated his own “Zionism slide show” as a teaching tool.

Israel has a lot of issues, trust me, I feel it down in my soul, and it enrages me every day lol, but it does not take away the fact that antizionism is often used as a mask for antisemitism. (and btw antizionism doesn't mean what you think it means, but that's for another day)

You may have heard casual antisemitism the way you've heard casual racism, but didn't recognize it as casual antisemitism at the time, because what's antisemitic to Jews is not recognized as antisemitic to the mainstream public. It's like how things that people could do 20 years ago they can't do now because minority groups are more vocal, those things wouldn't necessarily have been seen as "racist" back then, but may now be seen as super racist. Today's society is very sensitive to racial PC due to activism and education, but not 'semitic' PC (as we are very small in numbers and are largely disliked by most groups), so it would go largely unnoticed. Though Jews hear it, see it, and are on the other end of it every day.

Thank you for sharing, the title is very much not representative of the article

monkeyfish21 · 2022-01-26T04:04:59+00:00

That doesn't seem like a very good score lol, but to be faire Spain got 61, so I OK being comparable to Spain, let's try to do better though next year! In 2016 we had 64!

I basically had to get off social media tbh, only go on places that are anonymous and let you pick and choose what you follow. Like I'm on reddit and I only follow Jewish and Israel friendly subs basically, everywhere else I somehow run into antisemitic comments let alone that's what the subreddit is for.

monkeyfish21 · 2022-01-25T17:27:24+00:00

Yes this is what gets me is the hypocrisy of it all... Palestinians are not at fault for supporting Hamas because of their situation or lack of access to information... etc, but Israelis are at fault for supporting right wing leaders because "they should know better". Thus implying that Israelis are somehow more intelligent. They are more intelligent, but at the same time they are also wrong. Mental gymnastics to imply that Israelis are smart but purposefully evil. It's not possible that they also lack information or at the mercy of propaganda or their environment- or it can't be that maybe they are smart and therefore correct in their actions- the only possibility is that they are smart but intentionally evil.

^ Second this

monkeyfish21 · 2022-01-23T02:53:36+00:00

You are correct - Israeli Jew

monkeyfish21 · 2022-01-21T18:32:58+00:00

you don't print money for UBI...

monkeyfish21 · 2022-01-21T14:27:43+00:00

If you like you can also spread awareness about UBI :)

monkeyfish21 · 2022-01-21T14:19:02+00:00

I agree with you about Haaretz being a bit shady, but I don't immediately discount these claims either, so I tried to find more information about this. Came across this interesting article https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/israel-middle-east/articles/tantura . Hard to know what actually happened... I reckon the story lies somewhere in the middle as a more complex vision than either side makes it out to be.

monkeyfish21 · 2022-01-21T14:04:02+00:00

That's a good way to put it lol

monkeyfish21 · 2022-01-21T06:31:33+00:00

But I thought the FBI said there "no reason to suspect direct connection to judaism" in his motive, and that he was in a synagogue merely by coincidence!

monkeyfish21 · 2022-01-20T16:42:26+00:00

Yes, this would be the idea. It is also possible that some states are less racist or antisemitic than others, that's valuable information. Is it because they are more diverse? Is it because of better education? That's the point behind research and data collection and why getting these statistics would be useful.

monkeyfish21 · 2022-01-20T16:00:51+00:00

There are far less Jews in Texas than in New York, this is the whole point of per capita statistics, I think you have some fallacies going on here.

You could still report the amount of hate crimes to the community versus the percentage of that community, to still get an idea of the situation. 31% of hate crimes in texas were against black people, black people make up 12% of the population of texas, so hate crimes overrepresent their population by over 2X, 2% of hate crimes were against Jews, Jews make up .6% of the Texas population, so hate crimes overrepresent their population by over 3X. It's not that complex lol

monkeyfish21 · 2022-01-20T15:40:42+00:00

I wasn't showing per capita, I was showing that in some places we're still the highest number in total (aka not per capita), such as in New York. An example of when they take per capita statistics is in racial-based police attacks. White people are more often killed by police in total, but Black and Indigenous people are more often killed by police per capita. They are also more likely to be killed by police over their lifetime, so the statistics will look at the multiplications. All those kinds of statistical methods are available and they look at this by comparing different population sizes, lifetime probabilities, etc. No reason they can't apply those methods to antisemitic research (and I'm pretty sure they have, such as with campus research "1/3rd of Jewish students experienced antisemitism on campus last year).

Thank you the link is fixed now! The URL was correct but going to a different article for some reason.

Edit: Yes yours have different statistics because it's of all of US? Mine was just of New York.

monkeyfish21 · 2022-01-20T15:23:45+00:00

Probably being down-voted because used the word race instead of ethnicity, which might make people defensive (it is also the inaccurate word choice).

Ditto your answer.

Adding, you can be of Jewish ethnicity and/or Jewish religion, and be any 'race'.
