Jewish themed account focused on diaspora issues w/ minimal related Israel content.

Even if the entire world tells you that you are a Tzaddik consider yourself like a Rasha

Things I will mock you for: antisemitism definition and Levant indigenaity debates, shitty holocaust takes, good Jew bad Jew bullshit, glorifying the death rattle of assimilation.

Hobbies: wandering, rootless cosmopolitaning, well poisoning, making matzo out of... er... stuff, performing talmudic rituals

The fediverse is my last stop on the social media trail.

And right now I'm teetering on packing it in. Twitter was shit but it was a better experience as a Jew.

This place is a deluge of hot garbage and so was twitter. But twitter had hundreds of thousands of Jews. Including our public intellectuals. Jews from all walks of life. Jews from many denominations. Jews from all over the world.

What does the fediverse offer in comparison? Mostly just the game of 'out the antisemite' which is boring AF.

@Bam @judah blocking everyone without replacing then with more awesome people is not a great social media experience either, for me.

@Bam @AlliFlowers @judah

I have not located this massive volume of awesomeness.

@Bam @AlliFlowers @judah I might be looking for a more niche experience that fediverse can't deliver on.

My last twitter account was primarily Jewish themed and I mostly followed Jewish accounts and I enjoyed it immensely. I've been trying to recreate it somewhat here and there just aren't the numbers.

I'm mostly uninterested in a more general focus tbh. I could just talk to people around me for that irl. I don't need to go on the internet for that.

But where I live and work I only really know a lot of Jews from shul. And I can't shit talk with them. I'm the last Jew standing at work. We had about 5 or 6 at one point. And in my non shul social circle there's two of us. 🤷‍♂️

@AlliFlowers @Bam @judah I would kill just to have Dov Bashevkin on here.

I’d really rather be posting about the 2024 elections and climate news and other things I enjoy but since the Fediverse just gets more and more comfortable with Jew hatred, not less, and people stay dead silent about it, this is where it is.

@littlemiao if only we could go back to Oct 6 when the fediverse wasn't an antisemitic shithole...

At this point, the fact that this guy hasn't been banned makes a pretty good case for defederating from this instance.

Just straight up Nazi shit, with "you're a predatory people and always have been" as a reply to being told Jews just want to be left alone.

I don't make policy for , but this guy just going on a Nazi rant seems like it should be a call for a fediblock.

Post from @CosmicallyF replying to @imstilljeremy The only reason there even is a modern Israel to speak of is because the Christians stole it from the Muslims and gave it to the Jews based on some hocus pocus prophecy. Now you're committing genocide to seize the rest. Even the whole Old Testament is about the Hebrews genocide to steal "the promised land". You don't just want to be left alone. You're a predatory people and always have been.
Post from @CosmicallyF All of this unduly accusing me of hating Jews doesn't make Jews my favorite people... . Reply from @8124 "UNDULY meaning: 1. more than is necessary, acceptable, or reasonable” if you're going to use the word unduly, maybe don't declare that you hate Jews in the same post lol Reply from @CosmicallyF Fuck you and your genocide apologism. Maybe | wouldn't have a low opinion of Jews if the construct of Israel is on stolen land.
Post from @CosmicallyF All of this unduly accusing me of hating Jews doesn't make Jews my favorite people... Reply from @WmShakesp3are point proven perhaps, | mean, Jews as a group? Jews on the fediverse? Jews for Jesus? All Jews? What? Post from @CosmicallyF Honestly my problem is particularly Zionists but the mainstream doesn't really differentiate that from the rest of the Jews. Really the Christian Zionists are are even worse.

Ok I know I know I know. I hate antisemitism definition debates.

But this one might win me over just for the schadenfreude watching the uncomfortable allyship between the American left and MTG. 🤣

I assume the Senate will kill any chance of HR 6090 being a thing.

But if they don't, it's not gonna be good for TheJews™ at all.

@dukepaaron@babka.social avatar

@Bam because it's stupid and that's the houses job.

I've been wrong about the Senate before. They're also stupid.

@Bam trump already did that. This is a fluffy nothing burger designed to cause an IHRA controversy. Which it will.

dukepaaron,
@dukepaaron@babka.social avatar

@Bam yes and no.

Buried in here they discuss the slide of including ethnoreligious groups over time.

Shaare Tefila Congregation v. Cobb really caused a lot of confusion in this area I think.

Go back to Poland, amirite?!?!

"The attack on the Nożyk happened around 1 a.m., the country’s American-born chief , Michael Schudrich, said. The synagogue was hit with three , or cocktails, and only sustained minimal damage “by tremendous luck or miracle,” he said."

Here’s an example. This account is a kook who’s been suspended from other instances, trying to back up another kook that did get suspended and had also been suspended before for bigotry. mastodon.world doesn’t give a fuck about it. But I do.

If this is someone you enjoy, get away from me.

On May Day the workers day I'd like to remind all my Jewish revisionist political history friends that the Bundists were cultural, community, and linguistic seperatists.

For good reason. Solidarity isn't assimilation.

@dukepaaron@babka.social avatar

@AlliFlowers I saw something the other day about how the Israeli Jews should have assimilated like the American Jews did and that was just too complicated for me to respond to.

dukepaaron,
@dukepaaron@babka.social avatar

@AlliFlowers hey you know if they didn't want zionism to take primacy in Jewish political thiught maybe they shouldn't have gassed or shot all the Bundists.

As the universities (which are not run by a secret Jewish cabal) crack down on protesters using the police (which are not run by a secret Jewish cabal) and local governments (which are not run by a secret Jewish cabal), I'm pretty sure some press release from the ADL, one random shitty Jewish lady on tiktok, and the nefarious existence of checks notes Hillel and campus Chabad will inevitably get all things blamed on a secret Jewish cabal.

Except for the GoodJews™ of course! They're good!

"Accuracy is so important to me,” Goyhood Reuven Fenton told The Algemeiner. “People assume that the ultra-Orthodox community is the Jewish version of the Taliban and that’s not true at all.”

“Whenever you see anything media-oriented that has to do with Orthodox , if you’re part of that world in any way, you look at it and roll your eyes because they never get it right. It’s full of flaws, exaggerations, and misinformation,” added the first-time author, who is also the only Orthodox Jewish reporter on staff for the New York Post. “I felt it was my obligation, [and] that the least I could do in writing this was to get everything on the money.”

Lesson 5,327 in how to not sound even though you are.

When praising a person for protesting do not refer to them as "openly Jewish."

You sound like Torquemada.
