"What are we to make of the choice to recognize this #photo with an award? On the one hand, the image reflects the way much of the left has viewed #Israeli victims following #Oct7—disposed of, expendable, taken away, gone. On the other hand, it captures the paradox that has allowed #Hamas supporters to simultaneously deny that atrocities against #women took place on Oct. 7 while celebrating them in real time. Ultimately, the choice to center and honor this image also perfectly captures the intersection of #antisemitism and #misogyny, as well as the way elements of the left and Hamas are joined in their shared antipathy toward #Jews."
Things I have always known about #Judaism but only now understand Part 1:
We are a tribe. And we also invented the word.
We don't have much power over society as a tribe even though many of us are very successful, we know how quickly things turn.
We may be the only people that people on all political extremes see as the source problem of everything they don't want to take responsibility for themselves.
Almost all of our holidays are about our enslavement and genocides. #jewish#jews
"The Brooklyn Monarch venue told hard rock group HaYehudim — Hebrew for “The #Jews” — that there was a problem with “the political nature” of their name, according to reports that cited an explanation given to the band."
Edit: Guy Illouz, 26 soundman for HaYehudim was wounded when captured by #Hamas terrorists from Supernova festival on Oct. 7 and died in #Gaza.
"How does it feel to be a war-crimes reporter whose family bankrolled a nation that’s committing war crimes?
I can tell you.
I covered the genocide in Bosnia for The Post, wrote a book about it, and reported from Iraq & Afghanistan, among other conflict-ridden countries. Also, my ancestors were key funders of Jewish immigration to British-controlled Palestine." #GiftArticle#GiftLink https://wapo.st/3TUjTtp

"Millions of #Jews in #America feel connected to Israel’s creation. Maybe our ancestors gave or raised money, maybe they went and fought, maybe they donated to #Zionist organizations. What’s a Jew to do now? Everyone makes their own choices, but my experience of war crimes taught me that being #Jewish means standing against any nation that commits war crimes.
"The victims of genocide — which #Jews were in the #Holocaust — are not gifted with the right to perpetrate one.
Of course, a #WarCrimes court should be the arbiter of whether Israel’s actions in #Gaza qualify as #genocide...
the legal definition of genocide is “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.” The key words are “in part.” Holocaust levels of killing are not required to reach the legal standard."
"My #Jewish identity was always a bit vague because my ancestors were #German#Jews who assimilated at the speed of cultural sound...
I began to feel more Jewish while covering the #genocide of Bosnia’s #Muslims. What Levin points to — the defense of #Palestinians increasingly being an act of Jewish identity, particularly for younger Jews — feels right for me, too." #GiftArticle https://wapo.st/3TUjTtp
"These protesters are part of a movement that includes #Jewish demonstrators who wear T-shirts that say #NotInOurName. Their potent voices undermine the argument that all protests against Israeli violence are #antisemitic. They help legitimize global opposition to what’s being done in #Gaza, and they defend not only #Palestinian lives but Jewish lives, too, because they contradict the misbegotten idea that #Jews as a whole are to blame for what #Israel is doing." https://wapo.st/3TUjTtp
Ever since its inception by means of ethnic cleansing, #Israel has remained by far the most dangerous place on Earth for #Jews to live, at least insofar as the Zionist settler-colony remains in tact (I will literally immigrate to the State of Palestine when its dismantled, the sooner the better). #German insistence that without colonizing #Palestine we're in danger of another #Holocaust is the most pernicious veiled threat I can imagine to come from those who committed some of the worst crimes in all of human history against us.
Some of my posts have been deleted by the moderators of musicians.today because they “contain misinformation about the Israel-Hamas war.“ My „misinformation“ was to write, that there is no black and white and that it is wrong to blame only #Israel and that the #hamas is a #terrorist organisation that is openly promoting a genocide on #Jews.
When I asked the moderators, what‘s wrong about my posts, they answered, they don‘‘t want to get into details.
I‘m afraid the fight is lost
@br00t4c What an inspiring interview, with guests who remind us that there are Israeli #Jews whose courage is exemplary, in their attempt to obtain justice and peace for #Palestinians. I hope many people take the time to listen to it, or read the transcript.
What is clear is that Zionists do not get to define what is #anti-semitic. I'll leave that to those #Jews who know that murdering Palestinians makes all Jews less safe, and that it is morally wrong. Thankfully there are plenty of that 'wrong kind of Jew'.
The #ProPalestinian movement is a corrupt, hate-based effort masquerading as a legitimate #protest movement. Under the guise of rallying for the safety of #Palestinians in #Israel, it's really just vehicle for virulent #antisemitism, and advocacy for the extermination of #Jews. These aren't good people fighting for their freedom and well-being. They're bigoted antisemites who just want an excuse to engage in overt hatred.
This is not antisemitism, this is just an annual celebration of the proud Spanish tradition of murdering Jews! I’m surprised they haven’t applied for World Heritage status like the Carnival of Aalst.
“It’s an expression here,” Margarita Torres Sevilla, a professor of medieval history at the University of León, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “For example, you tell me, ‘Have a drink with me? Okay, let’s go kill Jews.’ Another typical sentence of Holy Week is, ‘How many Jews have you killed? Three, four, five [limonadas]? Oh, you have killed a lot.’” #Antisemitism#Jews#Easter#Christianity#Spain
"Al-Ansari proceeded to reach out to 'lone wolves' on Telegram, urging them to 'target Christians and Jewish people, especially in the US, Europe, and Israel during the holy month of Ramadan.'"
It happened, so it can happen again – a journey through Auschwitz
We must firmly block – with our bodies and our souls and the ways that we lead our lives – the pathways of accumulative radicalisation that lead to Auschwitz, writes Harsh Mander.
"The oldest-surviving #Christian hymns designed exclusively for #HolyWeek are a set known as the Idiomele. In the modern Orthodox Church, they are sung during the Royal Hours service of #GoodFriday morning (the final hymn is sung during two additional services). Apart from their antiquity, the most noteworthy feature of these hymns is that they were the first to blame “the #Jews” for the death of #Christ."
#France's Macron warns Israel's #Netanyahu that forced Rafah population transfer could be 'war crime' + France raises security alert level following 'threats', says PM—AFP
Here's a report about President #Macron's announcement.
My hypothesis was not correct. He foresees security threats for #France in general, not limited to #Jews:
"France’s government 👉increased its security alert posture to the highest level👈 Sunday, March 24, after the deadly attack at a #Russian concert hall
...taking into account the Islamic State’s claim of responsibility for the (#Moscow) attack...″
