What would your theme song/boss music/intro be like(it can either be with vocals or no vocals, a pre-existing song or a new song, and if new, then please tell the description, like the beat, instruments, etc)? And you can ask it to upto 10 people if you feel like asking.

the Perry the platypus theme

I'm curious. Reblog this if you know how to cook

I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat. 

reblog if you think John green and Jennifer Lawrence would get along

yeah I mean honestly I would like to say that I’d be ok with (hypothetically, I’m aromantic) marrying a non-Jew, but I wouldn’t be. And yes, love is love, and tevye undoubtedly made the right decision, but if I were here parents, I’d be a bit disappointed/betrayed. ESPECIALLY in a shtetl during the time of the pogroms, when Jews could generally only trust other Jews.

i've noticed that there is a bit of ingrained antisemitism in some non-jewish fiddler on the roof fans and im not gonna lie it really rubs me the wrong way. like they probably don't even know they're being kinda antisemitic in this way

here's what i mean. fiddler on the roof is about (shocker) jewish tradition and change. when you see tevye who cannot accept his daughter for marrying a non-jew, do you think, "oh, he's set in his ways, he's bigoted, he's just not modern enough, his (jewish) tradition is making him blind." ? whereas every time someone in my family would see it for the first time, literally everyone said, "it's a shame, but i absolutely understand why."

i think that's the most important thing -- do you understand why a man like tevye, a jewish man whose judaism is incredibly important to him, a jewish man who lives in the pale of settlement and whose village is under constant threat of pogroms, a jewish man who is alive in this period literally 2 years after the infamous kishinev pogroms (assuming this story takes place in 1905), a jewish man whose ancestors were constantly persecuted for being jewish (ESPECIALLY in the pale), a jewish man who is so remarkably proud to be jewish despite all of this --- do you understand why this man might be rightfully upset at his daughter for breaking the tradition that he and his people have paid with their lives to keep?

you can disagree with tevye's decision all you want -- i do too -- but like. if you don't see this you need to check yourself. fiddler on the roof is not just about the breaking of tradition -- it's about the breaking of tradition that is been their only method of survival for generations because they are Jews.

hey you just reblogged one of my hunger games posts. I came on your page because I was excited because maybe you were a potential mutual but then I found out you support genocide and colonization so. why and how do you like the hunger games as a zionist? Do you really think it just has no relevancy to our modern day politics?

I hope these questions were asked in good faith, so I will answer them as such.

I am against war and genocide and colonization. I think war is one of the worst things humans can engage in, as the results are catastrophic for everyone involved. I do not support war in the Middle East or anywhere else and will always advocate for peace.

However.

When it comes to the situation with Israel and Gaza and the Palestinians, I can recognize that it is a complicated issue. Israel has, historically for at least 5,000 years, been the home of the Jews. The Jewish people were there before the Roman Empire and there is archeological evidence backing this up. The people who call themselves Palestinians are Arabs from when the Arab world and the Muslims invaded and subsequently colonized Judea.

Due to this invasion, and the antisemitism on the part of the invading Muslims and Arabs, the Jewish people were dispersed away from their homeland. They faced discrimination everywhere and suffered for their heritage in every country they found a home in, always the minority. And they had no country, no home to return to in order to escape this persecution.

Then, after WW2 and the Shoah (or the Holocaust), the British Government took some land within the area of what was then called the Palestinian region but was historically known as Judea, and set it aside as a place for Jews to call home so a genocide of the Jews could not happen again. Arab and African countries have since kicked out their Jewish inhabitants and sent them to the new country of Israel.

I do not support every action of the Israeli government. They have bombed hospitals and churches (which, as a Christian, is galling) and have killed innocent people. But I support the existence of Israel as a country and home for the Jewish people, who elsewise would not have a home or a people.

I also recognize that Hamas is to blame for a large portion of the suffering of the Palestinians in Gaza. Gaza was supposed to be the answer to the Two State Solution, if I recall my history of the area correctly, and it was supposed to be a place for Palestinians to live in their own country and be self determining. Instead, they voted for Hamas, who has hidden inside hospitals and schools and have fired on their own people and has stolen food and water from them and spent money on rockets instead of necessities like electricity and plumbing. Hamas, who took hundreds of captives from a music festival and refused to give them back, even with the promise of a hostage release program and a cease fire.

Israel is far from being a genocidal and colonial country. It is imperfect, and it has committed atrocities. But there are many Arabs and Palestinians who call it home and who are not treated any differently than the Israelis who live there because they have no where else to live. In fact, the Arab and Palestinian population inside Israel has grown exponentially while the Jewish population outside Israel has declined rapidly. To the point that I'm pretty sure the USA is the only other country besides Israel to have any sizable Jewish population.

Does that sound like colonization to you? Does that sound like genocide to you? If the Jews truly were genocidal and colonial like you are suggesting, they would have far larger reaches of land under their control. The Palestinian population within their own borders would shrink. Arabic would not be a language taught side by side with Hebrew in many cases. They would not have ceded control of Gaza to the Palestinians and removed any Jews living there from the area.

The loss of human life is always a tragedy. I mourn for the lives of the Palestinians who have been lost. I also mourn for the lives of the Israelis that were lost in brutal ways. I cannot forget the horror I felt when I heard of 10/9, the evil that Hamas committed. They killed at least one child by tossing them in an oven to burn alive and made the mother watch before killing her. They drug the dead body of a woman my age through the streets after gang raping her. They shot innocent people my age at a music festival. They were the ones that started this war, and every other war they've had with Israel. The other wars Israel has been involved with were started by other terrorist organizations or other Arab countries. I pray that, one day, Palestine is free from Hamas and the Middle East from terrorism and we can actually work for peace instead of fighting the same wars over and over again.

I hope this answers your questions.

God bless, my friend.

yeah like my friends rabbi mentioned my rabbi in a speech. Several states apart. There’s actually a really funny game called Jewish geography when some people join a zoom call with one person that theyre trying to get on the call. They can add their friends, who can add their friends who can add their friends and usually they get the person pretty quickly

I think people don't realize how ridiculously interconnected the Jewish community is. Usually it would be shitty to assume that any random guy knows somebody else just cause they share a culture/ethnicity but I swear every time I mention an obscure Jewish thought leader/author/politician/etc. one of my cousins goes like "oh yeah I studied Torah with his son in 1985". every single fucking time

Don’t you just hate stereotypes? (Ignore the shower, that’s a different story)

also I know this was a meaningful post. It resonated a lot with me. I mean it no disrespect by making this joke.
