Every accusation, and all that jazz
Even the "every accusation is a confession" gets flipped around on Jews. I've seen that phrase from anti-Zionists way more than anyone else.
It's pure DARVO. It's brilliant: people preemptively accusing the people they're DARVO-ing of always doing DARVO. It's the ultimate mindfuck.
The entire discourse has been a years-long mindfuck. It was absolutely wild to go, "Okay, I don't know much about this, and I know people are saying a lot of stuff, so I'm just gonna fact-check everything anyone on any side says... oh. oh? oh... no. ok holy shit there's not one drop of truth in almost any of it, to the point that debunking it seems to require either flatly telling them everything they just said is false or writing a whole book?? oh fuck what do i do"
I'm gonna just break a few of the above terms and events down, for anyone who needs to know more.
by which i mean that i am about to infodump enthusiastically until I have to stop
Islamist: Does not mean Islamic, or Muslim. Islamist is the equivalent of Christian Nationalist: a violently authoritarian, far-right, fundamentalist movement. As with Christians and Christian Nationalism, there are a lot of Muslims who actively fight it and speak out against it.
You know how, in the West, we're terrified of ending up at A Handmaid's Tale? (And how we've already been there?)
Same values, same politics, same dangers, same path.
Nazi Propaganda and Recoding anti-Jewish tropes in modern Marxist-Leninist language:
The best example I know is Hamas's founding documents, in which Jews are The Enemy:
Note that Hamas was founded the year before Palestine declared independence, and refuses to recognize Israel as a country. When Hamas says "Palestine," below, it explicitly includes the land of Israel.
When Hamas says it will "liberate Palestine from Israeli occupation," it means that it will "annihilate Israel," divide it into cantons, and draw up rules defining which Jews will be killed, which will be allowed to leave, and which should not be allowed to leave.
But don't worry, it's not just an unhinged authoritarian fringe movement seeking power for power's sake. It's also personal. Because the Jews are rich! The Jews control the media! The Jews destroy societies! The Jews control the world! The Jews are behind all the wars and all the imperialist occupations!
(Calling out the Communist Revolution doesn't seem like "Marxist-Leninist rhetoric," granted. This is their "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" era, they refined it a lot over the years,)
Destroying Arab Society: People love to "look at the conflict through an anti-colonial lens," but completely ignore the whole entire empire that had just fallen.
Oh, right - and the 1,300-year-long era of Arab colonization that ended with it.
When marginalized groups start getting equality, the people who had power over them panic. Because their power is disappearing. They perceive this as having something taken away from them, and they lash out.
The Ottoman Empire was an outlier in centuries of specifically Arab Muslim empires. As Arab nationalism grew, the Empire responded by shifting away from traditional law and instituting "reforms"... largely ending the centuries of Jim Crow-style laws subjugating non-Muslims.
Trying to be like, "We're all here for everyone! We're all Turks here, guys! Look, we're building railroads and schools and public infrastructure too!"
Jews and Christians were suddenly allowed citizenship, government jobs, land ownership, sometimes even shoes!
Very fucking unpopular move, honestly. This is why a lot of Arabs helped Britain defeat the Ottoman Empire in World War One.
After the Ottoman Empire fell, almost every remaining indigenous group sent delegates to the League of Nations to beg for safety self-determination. The Maronites, the Druze, the Yazidi, the Jews, the Kurds, the Armenians, etc.
Arab Muslim leadership pushed for the 1,300-year status quo. Everything was centered around "pan-Arab nationalism": states that could work together as a new Arab Empire.
There was enormous pushback against the mandates for both Lebanon and Palestine. There was a very strong sense, at least among those in power, that Arab society as they had known it - an Arab world in which they held all the power - was at stake.
The Maronites wanted to be the majority in their homeland, where they'd lived continuously for thousands of years, in the region of Mount Lebanon. Not because they were secretly white supremacists, but because they had already faced repeated slaughter there. They had no reason to believe that continuing to be in the minority would not mean continuing to be subjugated again.
The Jews wanted to be the majority in their homeland, where they'd lived continuously for thousands of years, like Tiberias, Hebron, Jerusalem, and Safed. Not because they were secretly white supremacists, but because they had already faced repeated slaughter there. (And everywhere else.) They had no reason to believe that continuing to be in the minority would not mean continuing to be subjugated again.
The pushback was done in the name of returning to a pan-Arab empire. Throughout the Mandate years, Arab leaders would demand the end of Jewish immigration to Mandatory Palestine, and insist that all these lands were Arab-owned - by right of conquest 1,300 years before.
For real, the fucking imperialism of it all: Really, the problem was that the goal wasn't Muslim rule, it was specifically Arab Muslim rule, with the same legal and social frameworks that past caliphates had used.
Really, the problem was that the Ottoman Empire was starting to eliminate several axes of oppression. It was doing this in the name of "modernization," along with investing in education and public works.
But it was also doing this to gain power internally: to "Turkify" its lands. To try to get people to be loyal to it as a Muslim empire, and identify as Turks. Because it had already lost a bunch of lands to nation-state uprisings in Egypt, Sudan, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Tunisia, and Thessaly.
And guess what? People in Syria and Greece and Algeria?
Not Turks. Never been Turks. Don't want to be Turks.
Also, despite how nice and progressive all that sounded at first, it was happening alongside increasingly paranoid authoritarian control. Censorship, secret police, and tyranny that led to massacres, pogroms, and the Armenian Genocide.
No, wait, I also wanna tell you more about the Ottoman Empire thing:
Sharif Hussain led the Arab Revolt against the Ottomans. (And then declared himself "King of the Arab Countries," which the Brits quietly ignored.)
The Sharif accused the Ottoman government of violating the sacred tenets of Islam through its reforms. He called Arab Muslims to "sacred rebellion" against the Ottoman government. It responded by accusing them of betrayal, and claiming the Allies were imperialist powers (IT WAS LITERALLY AN EMPIRE ITSELF OMG) attempting to divide and govern Muslim lands.
But Western Imperialism!: I cannot emphasize enough that the whole "Western imperialism colonized the Middle East" thing is a refrigerator-cold take. It's century-old propaganda from fallen empires.
Two. Fucking. Empires. Fell. Their lands and their peoples had enormous say in what happened to them. None of them became colonies.
Some of them had been neglected for so many centuries of colonization that they didn't have the infrastructure to function as independent countries. England and France were tasked with helping those places become independent countries.
They didn't do a great fuckin job with that, because they only knew how to run colonies, not how to, like, respect people's autonomy.
But they also didn't send their citizens to take the land, pillage it, send its resources back home, and enslave a bunch of people.
Nazism in the Arab World: "Parts of" is kinda fuckin generous.
I didn't realize until recently how hard the Nazis worked to spread anti-Jewish propaganda globally.
I feel like we're taught history and politics in a way that implies there's no connection between, say, Africa and Europe. Europe and West Asia. West Asia and Southeast Asia. Etc. Like there are impenetrable barriers all over the place. Like the Nazis were a European phenomenon, and nobody else had this problem - and we defeated them and Learned From Our Mistakes.
I read Mein Kampf last year. Hitler talks about how eventually, we're going to run out of natural resources, and he wants to take as much land as possible for the (Aryan) German people ahead of time. To ensure its longevity or whatever.
He did not, to the best of my knowledge, have any kind of stopping point in mind. He was just going for as much of the world as he could take over. Seeding the ground with Nazi propaganda first was the key to his potential success. (Also, if you can convince enough countries to get on board with you, you have lots of allies fighting against
The Allies.)
I have copies of at least two books on the topic!
Nazi Propaganda for the Arab World, by Jeffrey Herf:
In postwar Europe, on the whole, anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and equally absurd hatreds rooted in ancient religious texts became a disgraced and dead relic buried in the ruins of the Third Reich. But in the postwar Middle East, these notions persisted in elements of radical nationalist and Islamist politics.... Here I offer readers the most extensive record to date of what Nazi Germany was communicating to Arabs and the Muslims of North Africa and the Middle East during World War II.
In an earlier paper on the same topic (it's shorter! only 43 pages!) Herf addresses the elephant in the room:
How could an explicitly racist regime find any allies [in the Arab world]? How could Nazi Germany, in contrast to the universalism of liberal democrats or the Communists make any successful appeals beyond Germans whom it considered racially superior to others? In fact, a look at the efforts of Nazi Germany’s diplomats and propagandists to find support among these non-European “Semites,” calls for revising the sharp distinction between universalism and particularism that we are accustomed to apply to Nazi Germany and its enemies.
In other words, when the Nazis figured out that Arabs identifed with the Aryans instead of seeing themselves as a separate race, and that there were powerful figures in the Arab world actively asking to help, they marketed to them directly.
Nazis, Islamists, and the Making of the Modern Middle East, by Barry Rubin and Wolfgang G. Schwanitz:
Hitler's propaganda campaign was so successful, he almost got Iraq handed to him on a silver platter.
Amin al-Husseini (or al-Husaini, in this book's transliteration) convinced Hitler that "the Palestine question" united them in their joint hatred against the British and the Jews.
He promised to bring Arab countries into the war by overthrowing and winning over governments. He got the Nazis to promise that the Arab world would remain independent from its rule. And he longed to become its dictator.
Al-Husseini proposed to make Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Transjordan - he kept adding more countries - Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the Gulf emirates, Egypt, North Africa, and Sudan a single federated state with a Nazi-style system.
Gosh, that sure does sound a lot like exactly what the Ottoman Empire had held before it started losing countries.
Minus the non-Arab ones, like Greece, Armenia, and Turkey.
Al-Husseini wanted to "extend the mass murder of Jews to Muslim-populated areas, a genocide that the Nazis considered an integral part of the war effort. This was indeed implemented where German rule extended in the Caucasus, North Africa, and the Balkans."
Al-Husseini helped organize a brief pro-Nazi takeover of Iraq. Britain soon defeated it; Hitler later apologized for not being able to help more. But
Before the British could gain full control of Baghdad, pro-German forces launched a pogrom in its Jewish quarter, killing at least 180 people, injuring 1,000 more, and looting thousands of homes and businesses. In honor of this riot, as-Sabawi later took the name by which the massacre was called, the Farhud, as his personal codename.
This is dramatically downplaying the Farhud, honestly. In the words of one survivor's daughter:
The shock was palpable years later as she told me what she remembered..the slaughter, the untold numbers of girls and women raped, the mutilations, the survivors in rags begging at her door. In Baghdad’s business district, Jewish businesses were destroyed to the tune of millions.
When she went to the Jewish Quarter to see relatives who lived there, “it was as if locusts came in and wiped out everything, not even a grain of rice was left.”
Naw, this is all just racist against Palestinians:
People still talk a lot about that time that Netanyahu said Amin al-Husseini, the first Palestinian leader, was the one to tell Hitler he should exterminate the Jews.
There was one guy who said as much at the Nuremberg Trials. But historians agree that Hitler clearly always intended to exterminate the Jews. The entire world was clear by at least 1938 that if no country stepped up to take Jewish refugees, Hitler was going to kill them all. (And yet, almost no country did.)
The reason people still talk about it is that they like to portray it as "Netanyahu blamed Palestinians for the Holocaust!" As if doing so doesn't make them the ones blaming all Palestinians for the actions of one man.
Just to tie this all together with its conclusion: Historian Robert Satloff described how determined the Nazis were to get to the million Jews in the Arab world and how much more successful they were in North Africa than in the Mandate countries:
The Buchenwald concentration camp memorial in eastern Germany has long faced vandalism and disruptions, largely attributed to far-right extremists. Now, according to a report in the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung, pro-Palestinian activists from Germany’s radical left are planning a demonstration at the site during commemorations marking its liberation.
Buchenwald, located in the state of Thuringia, was liberated by U.S. forces in April 1945. About 56,000 prisoners were killed there, including many Jews.
For years, the memorial has reported incidents including graffiti, verbal abuse, visitors wearing clothing with Nazi symbols and individuals performing Nazi salutes. Those incidents have typically been linked to far-right groups that enjoy significant political and social support in parts of the region and seek to downplay Germany’s responsibility for World War II and the Holocaust.
The new planned protest is expected to take place during the second week of April, when Germany marks the anniversary of the camp’s liberation. According to the report, organizers intend to hold demonstrations and lectures at the memorial under the slogan “Keffiyehs in Buchenwald.”
Participants are expected to include the German Communist Party, the student wing of the Left Party and “Jewish Voice,” a group of anti-Zionist Jews.
Organizers accuse the memorial’s management of failing to take a stronger stance against Israel and allege discrimination against pro-Palestinian activists. The dispute follows an incident in April last year in which a visitor was barred from entering the memorial while wearing a keffiyeh in protest of Israel’s policies in Gaza. A court later upheld the ban.
It later emerged that the visitor was affiliated with a communist organization that had praised the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, stating it could “only admire the completely legitimate uprising.”
A spokesperson for the Buchenwald memorial said officials are “concerned about attempts to misuse the memorial site.” Felix Klein, the federal commissioner for combating antisemitism, called the planned protest “a new low in the reversal of victim and perpetrator roles.”
“I strongly condemn this frontal attack on the dignity of the memory of the victims of the Holocaust,” Klein said.
there’s some confusion in the notes, so I want to point out that Germany’s version of “Jewish Voice” is distinct from JVP and part of a branch of “European Jews for a Just Peace.” they were founded separately from JVP, though they may be affiliated in some way now? (maybe just on the basis of having the exact same ideology and talking points), but initially they were not the same organization. that doesn’t grant them any more legitimacy, it’s just a clarification.
if you look at their following list, you’ll see all the US branches of JVP plus notable (said with extreme derision) figures like Susan Abulhawa, Jeremy Corbyn, Owen Jones, the usual.
this is what Susan’s up to lately btw:
more information on the German organization:
(apologies for wiki link but):
https://www.juedische-stimme.de/
this is their Instagram page:
posts about this “protest” are here:
this is primarily performative (in the most negative sense), Buchenwald has keffiyehs banned, and they know that.
the fact that this likely won’t amount to much isn’t the point, the point is their confident cruelty in planning it to begin with, and the desired effect of causing outrage and diminishing the Holocaust.
I will reiterate once again, this is not a movement that cares about Palestinians. This is not a movement that has done anything to change the life of a single person in Gaza. Palestinians are the pretext for a movement about hating Jews.
People who cared about Palestinians would be taking their protests to the Israeli government, promoting and supporting the organizations that are trying desperately to help on the ground, and doing something material, not just making anti-Jew noise.
Fun times, now to figure out if they're talking about Venezuelans, Iranians (Persians), or some other population that's happy the regime back home that forced them to flee for their lives is the subject of this one.
Could also be Jews. Lots of gentiles think the diaspora Jewish population is evil, but they also think this about Israelis.
I would also nominate Cubans, Chinese, and Russians for "potential diaspora population that disagrees with the regime of their original state."
"evil" just say "doesn't hold the opinion about their countries and histories that I think they should hold"
the mere concept of “normalizing israelis” is so fucking crazily evil i have no idea how anyone could say that and think they are “just antizionist not antisemitic” like that’s actual fucking nazi shit upgraded with tik tok buzz words. like since when do we talk about “normalizing” actual groups of real life people??? it’s fucking vile they want to strip us of humanity and totally shun us from society and then they attack us for wanting self determination and community
(hope its ok im reblogging with this) THANK YOU. this original post could have been worded better i admit but in case anyone has no idea what i was talking about, ive seen a bunch of antisemites say things like "talking to an israeli person normalizes israelis and israel as a country" and people basically saying that if you even acknowledge an israeli person who exists you are "normalizing israelis and support genocide" its crazy shit. its literally the kind of thing hasan piker has been saying (link to post with screenshot) - actual quote: “All jokes aside, Gal Gadot serves an important role in normalizing Israel as not a fascist ethno-state, but instead a place where a lot of beautiful women come from. And those beautiful women happen to serve in the IDF, because there’s also this weird sexualization of the forces as well that takes place, and it plays another role in normalizing Israel and its activities and actions, and whitewashing it.” (source)
like literally weve gotten to the point where an actress' nationality means she is sexualizing her country's military and everything they have ever done wrong???????? theres like ten layers of misogyny and xenophobia wrapped up in this one.
its so ass backwards that we now see people who proclaim themselves to be progressive people who care about humanity to suddenly decide that extreme xenophobia, sexual harassment, and straight up text book nazism is now justified as long as its against someone from a country they dislike. imagine for a moment that someone said having a conversation with a mexican person is "normalizing mexicans". imagine saying that being friends with a gay person is "normalizing the gays". arent we supposed to be against extreme social isolation based on a persons identity??????
now to bring up the BDS thing. this is so fucking frustrating to me. again, they want to fully isolate israelis and by extension literally any jew anywhere as we have seen time and time again. the thing about BDS is that its literally ALL PERFORMATIVE!!!!!!! they boycott any business that they even THINK might POSSIBLY be (((zionist))) and yet that energy is completely gone the moment the israeli product in question is life saving medical technology and medications. these people will say that israeli doctors finding an affective treatment for lymphoma is pinkwashing whitewashing sciencewashing whatever the hell washing israel. they hate israeli people so fucking much that they think theres an evil plan by (((them))) behind curing fucking cancer. and yet i fully believe that if they were in the emergency room with a life threatening medical issue, they wouldnt be asking the doctor if the technology used to keep them alive "supports genocide" or not.
and i also want to bring up the mapping project. this is something i cant believe we dont talk about very much. i am not going to link their official site here but i have read through it. instead, heres the overview from the ADL:
FAQs on the Boston Mapping Project | ADL
it is literally a map of every single "zionist" institution in Massachusetts. this includes jewish nonprofit orgs, jewish schools (yes, including ones for actual kids), medical schools & medical institutions. the language used on the site is straight out of the protocols and mein kampf. they literally say an education program for teenagers contributes to "ecological apartheid". the funniest part is that they have a ton of land acknowledgements on the site and keep comparing palestine to native tribes in their area. and idk any native ppl reading this are free to correct me, but somethings telling me that the people in those groups probably dont want their names attached to an organization that literally wants to purge the country of anything remotely jewish. i am not going to get into jewish indigeneity here because im sick of explaining it. jews are indigenous. we did not colonize our own ancestral homeland.
anyway, suggested reading:
List of Israeli inventions and discoveries - Wikipedia
The top 64 innovations developed in Israel - Unpacked
(i better see the bds people boycott cherry tomatoes.)

If you have converted under the supervision of an ordained rabbi, been approved by a bet din and been to the mikvah, you ARE Jewish. There is no "larping" involved. The colour of your skin or the ethnicity of your birth are irrelevant. How the fuck can you "convert to Judaism to live out your white supremacist fantasies" that literally makes no fucking sense.
Who is "they" and why are you going along with the conspiracy theory shit that "actually a significant amount of Jews are converts and they're lying about their ethnicity." That's some Khazar theory bullshit.
There is a DEEP irony in the known racefaker STA whining about white converts.
Anyway.
This is your reminder that Jews get to define who is one of us and who isn't. It is not up to non-Jews.
And that this "white people become Jews to oppress people" bullshit is literally the same level of conspiracy as people who think men transition into women to gain access to women's spaces and prey on cis women.
Unless you think both claims are true, I wouldn't equate those claims; since we have a case like this that already happened.
To be specific, the claim is that cis men will lie about being trans to weaponize trans protections against women. So a cis main who claims to be trans could go into a bathroom, creep on women, and then if accused, counter-accuse the victim of lying to deny trans women bathroom access.
Oooooh Terf alert
Karen is not a man. Plenty of trans women commit horrible crimes they do transition to commit them
The modern transphobia is directly adapted from homophobia and antisemitic csa libels you are direvtly contributing a culture of to getting jewish men lynched lunder false charges of csa when you claim that trans women transition to rape little girls
"vast harm to diaspora jews is being caused by israel" no actually its being caused by antisemites. its caused by the regular ordinary people who decide to stab and shoot and beat and injure jews. its caused by regular people who decide to ram their cars into synagogues and set fire to jewish preschools. israel isnt boycotting jewish businesses and vandalizing them. israel isnt firebombing synagogues and throwing elderly jewish women off balconies. fuck you.
it's just the fuckin. gay panic defense all over again.
"but judge you see I simply couldn't help myself! I saw this israeli jew homosexual minding his own business on a street corner and his israeli nationality jewish identity homosexuality caused me to attack him! he shouldn't have been born an israeli a jew a homosexual. I just lost control when I saw an israeli a jew a homosexual in my space."
alternatively: “well what was she wearing? she must have been asking for it. she was flirting. she was drunk. i deserve the love of a woman.”

Lol. So does this nincompoop just not believe converts are real Jews?
White supremacists hate Jews. If I wanted to live out white supremacist fantasies, I'd register to vote as a Republican, become a born again Baptist Christian, and move to Texas.
Also, not sure how they know anything recent about me considering I have them blocked right now. Which I guess means they're stalking my blog while logged out, or have other creepozoids doing their dirty work.
Hey @stoptheantisemitism stop stalking me, weirdo. We have each other mutually blocked, so you're clearly block-evading to stalk my blog. You do know that's against Tumblr's TOS, right? It's called harassment.
Could someone else who isn't blocked by them please report them for harassment? Their blog is locked to people who aren't logged in, and they currently have me blocked. This lets them stalk ME, but I can't even report them.
especially funny since stoptheantisemitism is from ankara, turkey, which has a jewish community of mayyyybe 20 or so, and thus is almost certainly not jewish. methinks stoptheantisemitism might be projecting a little.
I doubt they racefake as an Israeli jew to live out their white supremacist dreams, turk supremacist dreams maybe
hey how many genocides did your REAL birth country commit? Like three seperate ones, yeah
"vast harm to diaspora jews is being caused by israel" no actually its being caused by antisemites. its caused by the regular ordinary people who decide to stab and shoot and beat and injure jews. its caused by regular people who decide to ram their cars into synagogues and set fire to jewish preschools. israel isnt boycotting jewish businesses and vandalizing them. israel isnt firebombing synagogues and throwing elderly jewish women off balconies. fuck you.
ok well i was gonna ignore this but it's irritating me from my activity tab.
i didn't say jews are not indigenous to the levant. i didn't say jewish people shouldn't return to and live in their ancestral homeland (nor that current israeli citizens should be removed). i said israel, not as in the ancient kingdom of israel that fell in the 8th century bce or judah that fell in the 6th century bce, but to the modern state of israel founded in 1948 after the british mandate for palestine effected in 1923 ended.
"That isn't what i said" it's a screenshot of what you said exactly. calling it an "illegal settler state" is offensive and incorrect.
the modern state of Israel is on the same land that Jews have called the land of Israel for millennia.
most of the people who moved to Israel during the British mandate and after 1948 were refugees. there were Jews escaping pogroms in eastern europe, Jews escaping from increasing levels of antisemitism while the nazis were coming into power, Jews escaping from nazi germany, Jews escaping from pogroms in surrounding middle eastern countries, Jews escaping persecution and travel bans and genocide. Jews denied admission to the United States and Canada and the UK during the holocaust. 6 million Jews murdered in the holocaust. Jews, recently liberated from concentration camps, murdered by their neighbors for trying to return to their homes. nearly 900,000 Jews purged from Islamic countries. racist violence towards Jews in western countries. Soviet refuseniks. Religious discrimination in Ethiopia. jews escaping racist laws and having their possessions stolen by the state and having their synagogues and neighborhoods burnt down and mass rapes and having their cemeteries and community centers and businesses and religious buildings vandalized and desecrated.
you don't get to call that settler colonialism. you had thousands of years to make the world a safer place for jews. the world proved over and over again that we as a people needed solidarity and self-determination, so we made it safer for ourselves.
the modern state of israel is the repatriation of an indigenous people who were persecuted everywhere we were displaced to. that isn't your call to make.
all of that aside:
seeing a post about antisemitism, *explicitly* about antisemitism in the diaspora, and still making it about how "israel bad", is in fact, antisemitism. you didn't mention any other country. you didn't bring up how any other country is bad.
you saw a chance to say "antisemitism is bad but so is israel". that is antisemitism. that is the point of this. it doesnt matter whether israel is bad or not. it matters that, either way, antisemites are using it as an excuse to express the antisemitic opinions they already held.
Oh someone so big mad Lebanon wants self determination and not to be an Iranian or PLO puppet who sends all their kids into the endless I/P meatgrinder they added them twice huh?
A lot of people use “war crimes” just to mean “war things i don’t like”
Or "War things that hurt my personal feelings."

Even if STA was Jewish (they're not) this would immediately discredit them as any kind of authority on the Jewish people and Jewish culture and halacha. This is really not okay.
You do not fuck around with ostracizing converts. You cannot treat them differently. Gerim are Jews. Gerim are Jews!!!
Honest question here, as we know that STA is a Turkish racefaker pretending to be Jewish:
How does the Turkish ethnic identity define itself? Is it patrilineal, matrilineal, both-lines...? Does it allow for adoption/naturalization, or is it an exclusive natal ("from birth") structure?
I'm asking because I don't know, and my speculation based on STA's clear projection is making me assume that it's a patrilineal and natal structure--i.e. you're born a Turk if your father was a Turk, and that's the only way to become one. But I would like confirmation or correction, as appropriate.
Not to be a bitch about a meme but. My Transfemme Jewish ass is not your “brother in christ”, has never been, and will never be. I would love it if we could stop throwing around a term with such sketchy racial, religious and gendered connotations like it’s nothing. I understand it’s supposed to be a joke or whatever but I’m not laughing

No love,
The Jews
"I'm not antisemitic, I love Jews! It just happens to be that every time a Jewish athlete or actor is winning, I pull out my soviet interrogation kit and start my investigation 🕵♂️🕵♀️
He wore a bracelet with a 🎗...
It better not be about the hostages that were kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists on October 7...because these hostages were zionist dogs who deserve to be kidnapped, raped, tortured and murdered! And only an evil colonialist genocidal demon would want to show support for these hostages and their families!
Did he watch the hamas gopro footage from October 7? Was he horrified? Did he cry? Was he angry? Was he worried about family he might have in Israel? Did he post about the massacre? About Kfir and Ariel and Shiri Bibas? About Evyatar David? About Shani Louk?
If yes, than thats a big no no - he is a filthy, conniving, greedy, bloodthirsty zionist vermin that must be excommunicated and exterminated.
But if he was screaming "globalize the intifada" and "death to israel" with us on October 8, tearing up posters of the hostages and drawing 🔻 and other nazi symbols and slogans on synagogues...this means he is a ✨️good jew✨️ and we can treat him like an actual human...unless he steps out of line, of course.
Anyway shabbat shalom to my good jews (and death to most of them), happy chanukah everyone! 😇 #from water to water palestine will be arab #anti-colonism #jewish voice for peace #antizionism is not antisemitism #im a good person #just asking questions"
it really says something that gerim get nowhere near as much vitriol from other jews as we do from goyim
by this i mean like next to none by the way. there are a handful of individual jews who like being assholes to converts but they're such a minority that i've never met one in real life. the consensus of both jewish law and the jewish people is that converts are jews, through and through. it is against jewish law to discriminate against us or to treat us differently than other jews and it's a commandment to love the convert.
it just cements that goyim consider us race traitors. because if it was actually about social justice or progressive values then they'd listen to jews about who is a jew and what exactly that means to us. they hate us for finding a home in a culture they want eradicated.
to them i say fuck you. you will never sever me from my people.

You're right and you should say it.
I think it does still fit together with the idea of what makes white supremacists so angry, too. In both cases, a person is no longer "white" - but while white supremacists are more than happy to admit that, white leftists want to deny it.
And it's still rooted in white supremacy, even among leftists. The idea that whiteness is something genetic based on where your ancestors are from and is determined largely by your skin color is white supremacy.
Both groups love to scream about blood quantum, just in opposite directions. Both groups (white supremacists and leftists) do, whether consciously or unconsciously, realize that whiteness isn't just skin color. It's culture and ethnicity too. I think white supremacists are actually MORE aware of this than leftists.
In white supremacists, whiteness is a form of purity than can be easily contaminated. For a white supremacist, any non-whiteness, whether cultural or through interracial marriage etc, "fouls" and destroys the whiteness of a person and their descendants. Whiteness can be expanded to include certain groups (Irish, Italians) but it can be revoked again. At one point, American Jews were kind of on the cusp of maybe being considered white by some groups... but that ship has long since sailed away.
For a leftist, it's the opposite direction. For leftists, skin color is something that marks you with the "original sin" of white privilege, and this status (in their minds) should be immutable. Once mainstream white supremacy labels a group as "white", that label is permanent for the leftists, even though for the white supremacists it's always conditional. In leftists, whiteness is an evil mark you can never erase, and in fact whiteness can contaminate others. This is why a single white ger means ALL Jews are "white".
It's wild how much they mirror each other.
it really just comes down to the fact that these people do not see jewish identity as legitimate and they are committed to continuing to not see jewish identity as legitimate
”how’d you feel if I started MY white ethnostate with gambling and my harem of much younger transfem lesbians”
estatic because you’d be so busy stopping shisms in your ‘commune’ and fuckimg you’d leave jews alone
“how’d you feel if I joined hamas rn, zio?”
Happy but in schaudenfriede way because you’d be cannon fodder very very soon
Weak. Its like screenshotting my bio and pointing and laughing at the jokes. Guys you’re playing strsight into my sinister joo agenda thinking you’re winning
oooh hahaha i understand nothing about judaism lets all laugh at the weird religion
Indigenous peoples are the stewards of their own communities and implement the rituals of adoption and initiation into those communities.
When the Jewish people adopt someone into the tribe of Judah they are family and have a right to Jewish heritage back to the dawn of our civilisation.
Just because you can't imagine holding on to the culture of your ancestors beyond 3 generations and your ancestral culture is meaningless to you.
Guess who gets to decide who’s Jewish? Jews. Guess who gets to decide who’s indigenous to the Jewish homeland? Jews.
Hey @deadgenerations. Are you Jewish? Is this your place? Or are you speaking over minorities?
And to be explicitly clear, converts are less than 1% of all Jews. The overwhelming majority of Jews are in fact “biological” Jews who can directly prove their blood and ancestry comes from the Levant.
You are making a big deal out of nothing. And for the record “American” isn’t an ethnicity. There are people in the USA who are citizens of America who are indigenous to MANY countries around the world. Being American doesn’t erase their ethnicity. Being indigenous to somewhere else doesn’t make them less American.
you should eat an olive and calm down.
Answer the question. Are you Jewish? Or was whitager's post actually none of your business?
are you mad at me?
I'm not mad, I'm asking you a question you have yet to answer. Are you Jewish?
im as Jewish as you were on February 25th 2026. Can I get my own ethnostate and decide who belongs there and who doesn't now
As long as I am permanetly banbed from seeing or hearing you agsin cause you forbade me to? Abso fucking lutely.
"Vegan leather" replacing "pleather" as the most frequent term for the material, as the greater populace began thinking that anything vegan is good and anything plastic is bad, is another good example if you want something specific.
“Replacement Theory” -> “Settler Colonialism”
Having blocked and mocked every Jew that dares disagree with her gingerswagfreckles has now descended to 2017 era piss on the poor reading of a text to crash out over literally nothing
it would be funny if the level of brainrot wasnt concerning. Its giving radfem. and not the fun Angela Carter type
this is the ‘deport all terrorists without due process now’ person btw
Wait they said what?
I mean they aren’t entirely wrong at least in the post shown.
jesus fucking christ you also think all fairy tales are a christofastic weapon to keep women in check?
*cocks gun* its on sight
No I’m saying that sexism is common in older morality tales because they reflected the sexist society they where written in where women where considered property and they subverting those sexist tropes and showing girls that they are capable of saving themselves is not “missing the point”
And I say it is and to lump in tales of all sort of places and times european medieval christofascism is deliberately missing the point
For every tale when the author turns to the audeince and says ‘marital rape is good actually’ you have all the tales where the girl uses her wits and magical objects to save the day (but yes usually settle down and have babies with a rich man). I read the woman with a thousand faces do not feed me your lies.
I also feel like ‘fixing fairytales’ is deeply disrespectful. Like. If you do not like the THING. Make new thing dont try to wrench old thing out of alingment. Its why most goth lit modernizarions drive me up the wall
and sadly for you this is my blog and I expect caution and good faith in your next reply lest you be blocked
I mean, I don’t have much more to say really? I’ve made my point of older stories often reflecting the not so great politics of their time, to me the post they responded to seemed akin to those “mediaeval peasants actually worked less hours l posts that tries to act as if the past was somehow better then modern day.
Evidently you disagree which is entirely fair. I will say that having enjoyed Terry pratchet’s “witches abroad”, films like shrek, etc, I’m not against fairy tale deconstructions in general.
You know…. You bring up a very good counterargument in shrek. I must think on this and write an essay on it
good discourse
no actually I know many of you are culturally Jewish athiests who dont analyze the tanach at all
but I think that fixing myths to be more feminist is often done with disrespect to the text where the only woman who gets uplifted is the protagonist snd the other woman are reduced to basic bitches who deserve their fates
snd for every Angela Carter’s bloody chamber (excellent) you get Nina Paley’s sedermasochism (an exercise in terfy self hatred and angst at being born a jew)
