Watching Hamas and all its supporters lie about anything without even blinking, twisting around terms and history, and too many people feeding into their lies - is something I never thought I would see in my lifetime
That is why I do not have the priviledge of "just teaching Hebrew"
I do not see it as political any more than it would be if we were in Germany of 1939
I lived my entire life in the aftermath of the Shoah. My family went through it. I translated my family member's book about her survival story. I used to sit on her lap as a child and hear her stories. And I personally heard dozens of others' stories, every year
My main content is always teaching you Hebrew & the love of Israel, the language, and my culture
But post Oct 7, with all that it brought & still does, if you don't understand why I post this content as well, you do not understand what it means to be persecuted. To be Jewish. To be an Israeli. I do. That is all Artist: @itzikahunna
Why would a community in crisis turn its back on its own people, stealing free aid, attacking and killing aid truckers only to then sell it to other community members who supposedly have nothing?
The west has to wake up. These people do not share our mentality. They are showing it in every thing they do.
They have showed it on Oct 7 as teachers, nurses, doctors, women and endless "innocent civilians" cheered and aided in the looting, raping, killing, kidnapping, hiding, and torturing of women, children, babies, elderly...
And they are showing it in every single thing they do since.
All we need is to look and see.
Because the west is next. They are showing this too, very clearly.
At the first solidarity rally that I attended, within a few days of the Oct 7 massacre, many politicians and many faith leaders came together to mourn with the #Jewish community.
However, there were no representatives from the #Muslim community.
Several Australian Jewish leaders have written about how they have resigned from various interfaith initiatives as a result of this failure of empathy.
Therefore, it is heartening to read these two pieces by moderate Muslim authors.
I should also say that at every single rally/service that I have attended, the deaths of civilians in Gaza has been mentioned and mourned.
The antisemitism on this platform has reached some new levels.
Funny how the people who claimed to stand by you when Charlottesville happened or a hate crime synagogue murder occurred a couple of miles from your house flip on a dime to try and score some fake leftist social media cred.
