Saying Ms Rachel Is Antisemitic When All She Did Was Say That Children In Gaza Are Suffering, Especially

No religion has actual “magic” because most people don’t believe in it. Ever seen a baby? That’s magic.

judaism disappoints me because there is no magic. There is no walking on water. There is Moses and the burning bush and the splitting of the sea years ago. Any resources to find a positive perspective on Jewish history and suffering and lack of magic? The religion feels very realistic and I'm dying and how much it sucks. There are no gurus.

Haha history humor

skirt skirt skirt skirt I think I don’t really understand what’s happening

If this gets uhhh let me think of a number… 8k I will get a skirt before the end of the summer

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.

Did you know that in marine biology jellyfish are actually called jellies because they aren't really fish? It's just a common misconception. (At least this is what I was taught).

:D

I did know that, thank you! 🪼🪼🪼🪼🪼

I don’t know whether to find that antisemitic or funny. Does anyone else experience that? Imma go with funny. My reaction: lollll

Why do you hate Jewish jellyfish?

what? Oh no, I just hate jellyfish. I could’ve been more clear. The subject of the sentence is the hater of jellyfish (me) who is Jewish.

PREACH

In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.

EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings

EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.

Reblog if you would invite your moots to a sleepover

ok so this is my first post about my indigenous roots, because I’m a bit self conscious about how distant they are. My family doesn’t do anything at all to honor the culture, and my younger siblings and cousins probably don’t even know about it. Older family members don’t even acknowledge it most of the time. The only clue that we even are native is that my grandma has an old baby moccasin of hers on display. I would like a “certified” native person to tell me if it “counts” because I would love to be able to talk about it without feeling like an imposter
