this gfriend thing isn’t even abt parasocial relationships between idols and fans. calling it anything other than antisemitism and a defense of antisemitism is wholly disrespectful. don’t reduce the gravity of this situation by making it sound like it’s another case of kpop stans crossing the line of healthy dynamics with idols. fans defending this are showing blatant antisemitism and nothing else.

this fish is what we should be remembering on memorial day

You know as a Jew I'm a thousand percent fed up with leftists acting like random Jews are equal to the Israeli government. Yes, even Jews living in Israel. If I walked around accusing random people of being Donald Trump ppl would think I was crazy. But a Jew exists and suddenly has to answer for Israel's crimes. Just say ur a stupid little bitch and GO

Even worse, sometimes a Jew or many will DIE and disgusting creeps decide now on a random post mourning this event, is the right time to blame Jews for everything the Israeli government has done. I can't even click on Holocaust posts without there being 27373737 fake woke comments comparing Jews to Nazis. I'm fucking. Sick of it.

Today, January 27, 2017, marks 72 years since the Soviet army liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp in Nazi occupied Poland. Today we remember the worst of humanity: genocide. Today we remember all the victims and survivors of the Holocaust. We remember the roughly 11 million people (1.1 at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp) who were slaughtered simply for who they were and those who were imprisoned, and sometimes killed, for what they believed.

The Nazi regime murdered an estimated 6 million Jewish people, 2 million Romani people, 250,000 mentally and physically disabled non-Jewish/non-Romani people, and 9,000 non-Jewish/non-Romani gay men all in the furtherance of white supremacy and “racial purity.”

Today we remember them all and continue to fight against fascism, totalitarianism, and white supremacy so that this never again happens.

Today, January 27, 2018, marks 73 years. Never again.

Today, January 27, 2020, marks 75 years. Never again.

I’m so fucking tired of goyim ignoring antisemitism. They ignore everything until something so extreme happens, like the recent shooting. How about you start caring about us BEFORE WE FUCKING DIE. Just fucking LISTEN for ONCE when we say we’re angry or scared or sad about the injustices we as a people have faced OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I don’t know one single Jewish person who hasnt been touched by antisemitism. I’ve been called a kike more times than I can count. I went to elementary school with a boy who told me he wished Hitler had won the war. I was shouted at and threatened by a stranger for wearing a Magen David. My grandpa has had to respond to bomb threats at our synagogue. My grandma had to switch roommates in college because her roommate was violently antisemitic. My fucking Jewish PRESCHOOL had to have ARMED GUARDS to keep people from fucking MURDERING PRESCHOOL AGED JEWISH CHILDREN. I thought all preschools had armed guards until I was like 12. Just fucking LISTEN when we say things. Here, I’ll give you a list of things you NEED to listen to us about.

Goyim please reblog

isn't it cool that this is another one of these things that the american public will just adjust to the shock of seeing before slowly accepting it into the realm of public discourse

remember when you could say stuff like “the earth is round” or “nazis are bad” and be absolutely certain everyone who heard you would agree

remember when you could say “we shouldn’t attack children with tear gas” and be absolutely certain everyone who heard you would agree

Eighty years ago, this month, a letter arrived in Pardes Hannah, not far from Haifa. It was very hard to read. “My darling children, with a heavy heart, I have to part from you… Darling children, don’t cry. God has decided that this should be our fate” – thus wrote Josephine Bähr from the city of Bassum in northwestern Germany, to her children Ilse and Kurt, who had immigrated to British-ruled Palestine two years earlier. “It hurts me terribly to cause you pain, we are all suffering. God will forgive me.”

On November 11, 1938, shortly after writing the letter, Bähr took her own life. She was 56 years old. Kristallnacht, the “Night of Broken Glass,” which had taken place between November 9 and 10 across Germany and Austria, proved too much for her to take. The physical violence, the desecration and destruction of synagogues, the looting of stores and property and, above all, the arrest of her beloved husband Leopold, destroyed her soul.

“Suicide is a common response to the insult and humiliation experienced by many Jews in that November pogrom. The emotional blow was in many cases harsher than the physical abuse,” says historian Prof. Moshe Zimmermann, coordinator of the heritage program at the Association of Israelis of Central European Origin. In many cases the background to the decision to commit suicide, he says, was a question that vexed many Jews: “How is it that we, who have been part of this nation, are so proud of it and have contributed to it, are becoming pariahs?”

…Leopold and Josephine Bähr (neé Ruberg) lived in Bassum, a city in lower Saxony. Leopold was a cattle merchant. He was very proud of the Iron Cross he had been given for his military service in World War I. Josephine was a housewife.

In 1933, when the Nazis came to power, only 30 Jews lived in Bassum. The Bähr’s two children went to Palestine in 1936. Ilse settled in Pardes Hannah, later moving to Kfar Warburg. By November 1938, only six Jews remained in Bassum.

On Kristallnacht – the pogrom instigated by the Nazis across Germany, following the assassination of German diplomat Ernst vom Rath by a young Jewish man named Herschel Grynszpan – the windows and doors of Jewish houses in Bassum were smashed, and apartments were ransacked. Leopold Bähr and two other Jewish men were arrested that night and sent to the Buchenwald concentration camp. Leopold was 65 at the time. His wife Josephine, left alone, took her own life.

…A few weeks after his arrest Leopold was released and returned to Bassum. Six months later only three Jews remained in the city, and he was one of them. His children, in their new homes in the Land of Israel, could not collect the money needed for an immigration certificate for him. In November 1941 he was sent to Minsk, where he was murdered.

…Only as an adult, after becoming a mother herself, did [granddaughter Ruth Leshem] learn that her grandmother had committed suicide after Kristallnacht. “It was extremely difficult for me to read her letter,” she relates. “I don’t know how I would react to receiving such a letter today. How can you go on living after something like that, with all the guilt feelings?”

…Josephine Bähr’s suicide was not an isolated incident. Studies show that dozens of Jews took their lives due to the pogrom, with researchers estimating that the total was in the hundreds. Some of them drowned themselves in rivers, some hanged themselves, and others jumped out of windows or poisoned themselves with pills.

…Prof. Zimmermann adds that in killing themselves, people like Josephine had wanted to send a message. “Some of them wore their Iron Crosses, which they’d received from the German Army, on their chests. Others left on a desk all the works of Goethe. The idea was to declare: ‘I am dead, but I was a good German no less than you were, and with that I depart this world.‘”

..The exact number of Jews who killed themselves in the wake of Kristallnacht is unknown. Eighty years on, no one knows how many Jews died during the massacre, whether by murder or suicide. Many historians cite the number 91, the official figure quoted by the Nazis. But it is clear to everyone that the true number is much higher.

“Estimates are that 300 or 400 Jews were killed, but it could be 1,000 or 1,300. The fact is that no one knows for sure, since no one has checked all the sources,” said Dr. Bastian Fleerman, a historian who is in charge of monuments in Dusseldorf, in an interview to Die Welt earlier this month.

In an unprecedented and comprehensive archival project, just completed in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, of which Dusseldorf is the capital, it was found that over 100 Jews were killed that same fateful night in just that one state. This includes people who committed suicide. Thus one can indeed surmise that the total number killed across Germany was much higher…

oppression isn’t generational and trying to frame politics as “the old people are wrong and the young people are right” erases the fact that there are old people who have been fighting the good fight for decades and the fact that there are young people who are literally nazis

Plus while there might be less old people fighting the good fight it’s usually because they were killed or were part of the minorities that have poor living conditions that kill you early

As came up recently, in fact: Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Don’t Survive to Become Seniors

I’ve spoken up about this before, and it might seem nitpicky, but it’s the difference that lets people claim that being antisemitic isn’t even about Jews.
