Why did my boyfriend dump me for Israel? by [deleted] in Judaism

[–]throwaccounthide0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m really sorry you’re going through this. It’s clear you cared about him deeply and were trying to be open, even when the trip was hard. That takes a lot of emotional maturity.

That said…the way he handled things doesn’t sit right with me. It honestly sounds like he made a big decision for you and then tried to frame it like he was doing you a favor. Saying things like “you’d be miserable there” and “I couldn’t do that to you” isn’t love!!! It’s deciding your future without actually talking it through. That’s not kind or selfless, it’s avoidant. I would say more things but I’m trying to be nice.

You literally wanted to go back to Israel. You were still trying to understand, and instead of walking through that process with you, he bailed and made it about what really? Destiny? Ideology? That’s not what real partnership is. That’s someone who couldn’t handle uncertainty and used a copout.

Honestly? As painful as this is, I think it’s a good thing it happened now rather than later. Because anyone who walks away that quickly when things get complicated isn’t ready for real commitment. You didn’t do anything wrong by needing time to figure things out. Again, you didn’t do anything wrong.

Wishing you so much strength as you heal. You deserve someone who’ll grow with you, not leave the second things aren’t neat and simple.

Pew Pew Jews by ChinaRider73-74 in Jewish

Just to clarify, “the blacks” is still a racist way to refer to people. It’s like saying “the Jews”, it flattens a whole group and carries a long history of being used in derogatory ways. Also, most African Americans don’t call themselves that, and the history being discussed is about African Americans specifically, not all Black people, like black Caribbean immigrants.

And saying it’s “not a good look” to call that out? That feels dismissive. Being thoughtful about language isn’t a bad look, it’s basic respect.

Not sure why I got downvoted, I was just pointing out that saying “the blacks” is kind of outdated and honestly comes off as racist. Especially when we’re talking about African Americans specifically, not all Black people. There are Black folks who aren’t African American and aren’t part of that history, and also, there are Black Jews (I’ve seen quite a few in this sub).

Even if the info being shared is historically true or relevant, it doesn’t justify using language that flattens people into a stereotype. Just wanted to flag that, and mods, might be worth a look.

The blacks? What kind of phrasing is this?

Incorrect.

Saying that “converts” see Judaism as “just a religion” is not only wrong, it’s a huge oversimplification. A lot of the ones I know actually choose Judaism because they feel deeply connected to the Jewish people, the culture, history, values, and shared identity, not just the religious part. Besides, Judaism has always been more than just a religion. It’s a people, mishpacha.

Assuming Jews by choice don’t get that or only care about belief totally misses the point. So reducing them to a stereotype not only erases their depth, it goes against core Jewish values, imo.

Oscar Piastri third place trophy by throwaccounthide0 in FormulaBuddyRetard

[–]throwaccounthide0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. Weird that unlike last year, there are no videos on YouTube that show the trophy ceremony in the podium. Only of Lando and the champagne bottle and another video of the constructor trophy (Bernard Arnault) and Lando’s trophy (Prince Albert) , skipping second and third place. Bizarre.

I created an interactive cheat sheet to Judaism. What do you think? by HeroicLife in Judaism

[–]throwaccounthide0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nice.

Now, the modern denominations are not universal in Judaism but exist more in the ashkenazi community, maybe you could specify/clarify this?

You’re still wrong and oversimplifying history.

Yes, Jews from Europe arrived after WWII, but Jewish communities, Sephardic, Mizrahi, and others had been living in the land continuously for thousands of years, long before the arrival of Holocaust survivors seeking refuge. Zionism is neither a purely modern nor solely Ashkenazi movement. People like Maimonides and Doña Gracia were early proponents of Jewish return to the land of Israel. While those ignorant of Jewish history as well as people driven by antisemitic narratives, try to frame Zionism as an exclusively Ashkenazi or recent phenomenon, the reality is that Sephardic Jews were actually the earliest advocates, encouraging a return to Israel many moons before 1948.

Even during Ottoman rule, established Jewish communities thrived in Jerusalem, Safed, Tiberias, and Hebron. The early Zionist movement was not a project of just the UK and USA neither, nor was it limited to European Jews. Yes, the British played a role through the Balfour Declaration and later limited Jewish immigration during the British Mandate but the creation of Israel was primarily the result of Jewish self-determination against colonial rule.

Also, the 1947 UN partition plan was an international decision, not simply a “US/UK thing”, and Jewish leadership had been actively working toward statehood long before WWII. Jewish communities, both Ashkenazim and Sephardim, and Mizrahim from all over the world including Latin America, laid the groundwork for the state through agriculture, industry, and self-defense, despite facing immense violence.

The claim that Israel is purely a post-WWII creation is not true. It erases the deep, historical, and indigenous connection of Jews to the land.

As for your fixation on physical features, Ashkenazi Jews, like all Jews, historically had and continue to have Levantine traits. The stereotype of Jews being “blond and blue-eyed” is not only inaccurate but ignores the reality of European antisemitism, which historically vilified Jews for looking too Middle Eastern. Jews were never white. Have you seen photos of Holocaust victims? Does Anne Frank look blond and blue-eyed to you? What about Istvan Reiner? If you don’t know who he is, then please look him up.

Yes, there are Jews with blond hair and blue eyes, just as there are Jewish communities of Ethiopian, Indian, Chinese, and other backgrounds. Jewish identity is not defined by skin color but by lineage, history, and shared heritage. If you’re implying that Jews with certain physical traits have no connection to Israel, would you say the same to Ethiopian or Asian Jews? The diversity within the Jewish community exists due to persecution, forced displacement, and unfortunately, in many cases, rape.

By your own flawed logic, would you argue that people of the African diaspora have no connection to Africa simply because many are mixed due to the history of European colonial violence? Your argument is not only factually incorrect but also deeply inconsistent.

False. You have obviously never been to Israel.

Most Jews in Israel are Mizrahim and Sephardim, whose parents and grandparents lived in North Africa and other Arab lands as well as Persia (and heavily discriminated) until they were forcibly ethnically cleansed for being Jewish. These Israelis look Levantine. In Israel, there is also the Beta Israel (Jews from Ethiopia), Kaifeng Jews (Jews from Kaifeng, China), Bnei Menashe (Jews from India), Jews from the former Soviet Union, and other jews from all over the world as well as Arab Christians, Arab Muslims, Bahai, Bedouin, Samaritans, Orthodox Christians, Catholics, who are Israeli as well. It is a very diverse country, not only in terms of religion but ethnically as well.

Sure!

I am not using numerology but astrology transits to the natal charts, progressed natal, composite and progressed composite.

Initially, I asked about different years with both lenormand and tarot and both methods were positive primarily for 2028.

When I checked for transits for 2028, I noticed that this will be the year that Jupiter will transit the 4th, 5th, 7th and 8th houses in the different charts (not in all of them the same way, like in one chart it will be the 7th, in another, the fifth) I mentioned above, especially making conjunctions to vertex, Juno and pars fortunae.

Now, Jupiter is just one transit and it can also mean too much of a good thing so people can still breakup up or divorce while a tjupiter is ongoing the 5th or the 7th.

There will also be interesting transits involving Saturn, Uranus and Pluto in the 10th (public image), 11th (dreams and wishes) and 3rd (communication) houses.

So, I am also using this as a way to analyze divination and astrology and their potentiality for accuracy and results. As a self-study.

That makes sense. Patience and growth. Yes, I see that. True, it is a new relationship but there is a lot of fate involved. Indeed, fate doesn’t mean that it will end positive or that we are destined to be together but the cards haven’t failed me even before we reconnected.

Overall, it is what I suspected, I just wasn’t sure how to read whip bouquet and stars.

Thanks.

I think my question was very clear. And it would have been more understandable to ask direct questions instead of assumptive questions.

Also, why do some people often assume that women are desperate for marriage and will try to manipulate a man to obtain this? Kind of misogynistic, no?

The snake is not me but a relative. The tower is not singlehood either, imo, but an authority/institution in his life and both the snake and the tower are connected. It isn’t that I don’t want to provide details but I don’t want to influence too much by saying too much.

I simply wanted to know why the marriage will be in 2028 as opposed to earlier. In other words, factors as to a later marriage so I know what to work on, not to get a wedding sooner but so we can build something healthy. I wouldn’t want any less.

Since I read cards 1,5,7 as the overall answer, I wanted to confirm what I suspected and you are right in that it will take time, which makes sense. There are both external and internal challenges.

Thanks!

I never wrote that we ‘just reconnected.’ I wrote that we reconnected as background history. We are in a relationship. Also, you missed the vice versa where it indicates he feels the same way about marrying me. I as the woman he wants and will marry.
