friedhelm-winter:

you know what’s gotta fucking stop? not including jewish people in your social justice. jewish people are not the oppressors, they are the oppressed. anti-semitism did not end with the holocaust, despite what your us-centric lense might tell you. people are being murdered and attacked for being jewish and if you don’t think that’s reason enough to incorporate them into your activism then you’re probably a huge anti-semite.

UGHHHHH so im watching 30 vies and right now it’s a scene where they’re in class learning about genocide, and a student said, “that’s what happened in the holocaust with the jews” and some other student retorted “or what the JEWS are doing to the palestinians”. the JEWS.

and I just… I just i have such a terrible feeling in my stomach. YES, israel is killing innocent palestinians. but that’s not the jewish people. that’s ISRAELI SOLDIERS who are committing horrible acts.

don’t automatically group diaspora jews with israel…….. just because i am jewish, does not mean i agree with israel’s horrific crime. i don’t condone the israeli government’s disgusting actions

stop acting as if diaspora jews do..

I can’t make you care but I can assert that if you’re going to hold us to higher standards than you do goyische white people because we “should know better” then you’d better fucking believe that you’re

  • being antisemitic by implying Jews should have learned that oppression sucks
  • being antisemitic by implying that Jews are inherently privileged through their Jewishness
  • being antisemitic by implying that Jews are somehow whiter than white, and thus more privileged. (This literally gets Jews killed)

And if your response to being called antisemitic when you are in fact being antisemitic is

  • “I can’t be antisemitic because I’m [unrelated minority group]”
  • “I don’t care because Jews don’t advocate for me”
  • “I don’t care because Donald Sterling/Israel”

CONGRATS

You’re still an antisemite. And you’re erasing Jews who are active participants in social justice. Or ignoring them. Or ignoring them unless it’s convenient for you. (I’m looking at everyone who reblogs Neuteri Karta.)

ALSO

  • Stop making Holocaust comparisons.
  • Right now.
  • No excuses.

Frequent Goyische SJ Micro-Aggressions Seen on Tumblr

  • Tokenism - See every post reblogging the Neturei Karta as the “real” Jews
  • Oppression Olympics/Derailing - “Who cares about those Jews who were shot up in the museum in Belgium when the Palestinians are being oppressed so badly in Gaza?”
  • Identity Policing - “Jews aren’t an ethnic group, they’re a religion”
  • Silencing - “You can never call me anti-semitic, I’m anti-zionist and that doesn’t mean the same thing as anti-semitic.”
  • Speaking Over Us - “Jews are totally okay with Holocaust comparisons.”
  • Erasure -  See that list circulating tumblr listing things forbidden by the bible that people supposedly don’t think are forbidden anymore, completely ignoring that the Tanakh (which Christians adapted into the “New Testament”) is still valid in Judaism.
  • Gaslighting - “You Jews made this up because you control the media!”
  • Victim Blaming - “Do you think so many bad things would’ve happened to the Jews throughout history if they didn’t deserve it?”
  • The Privileged Accusing the Oppressed of being Privileged (with bonus oppression olympics, quote is word-for-word from a white Catholic blogger)- “People can sit there and say that Jewish Americans are victims of hate crimes more than anyone else, and this is ALWAYS brought up whenever I discuss anti-Arab racism in the United States (I wonder why!!!), but you know what? There is absolutely a connection between capital and social standing in having the ability, or dare I say privilege, to report hate crimes.”
  • Feigned Ignorance - See how few notes there are on posts depicting anti-semitism? Jewish bloggers frequently complain about no one reblogging them. Because they don’t get reblogged except by other Jews.
  • Being a Bad Ally - The exception to the feigned ignorance is, of course, the frequent pile-ons whenever a CELEBRITY is revealed to be anti-semitic. Otherwise, we mostly get ignored. Don’t think we don’t notice. Gary Oldman being an asshole doesn’t compare to 17,000 people holding an anti-semitic march through the streets of Paris. That never seems to go viral, despite all the video.

#NotAllGoyim do these things, however.

Feel free to submit more examples. 

#NotAllGoyim is a glorious tag

I would like to also add

  • re: Erasure - besides that eye-roll inducing Christian bullshit, it also encompasses the denial of aspects of our people, be it our inherent diversity, or our complex self-identity, or our own history. Removing us from our own histories, and our many positive contributions to the history of the world, is common.
  • Denial - like it says on the tin, the outright denial and/or minimizing of the fact that antisemitism exits, that it can and does get violent, and that it’s on the rise. Denying or downplaying specific antisemitic events counts too

Seriously, if you do these things, I will unfollow you and demand you unfollow me.
