this gets funnier every year 

The year is 2042. Your daughter is awkwardly silent as she eats her dinner. “Something wrong sweetie?” She sighs and puts down her fork. “I was digging really deep in AO3 last night…Why didn’t you finish that coffee shop au?” It happened. Your past has come back to haunt you. Nay, it never truly left.

U CANNOT OUTRUN UR CRIME

OKAY BUT WAIT. This has happened to me. Recently. Because I am old and I have things out there from previous fandoms with previous pseuds and one day my teenager begins a rant at me about people never finishing any WIPs on the pit of voles (which he does not call the pit of voles because he has No Knowledge of such a thing but yet he still reads on which I didn’t think anyone did any longer) and he points out an example to me of something I WROTE AND LEFT WIPing for ages and he has NO IDEA #1 that his mom wrote this and #2 How much it still haunts me to this day that it will. sit. there. for. eternity. because I am too lazy to pull it down.

oh my god

#why didn’t you finish cleaning your room?#IDK MOM WHY DIDN’T YOU FINISH THE RON/DRACO MERMAID AU?

Every year, this becomes both more funny, and more painful, and for both of those reasons, it should never be lost or forgotten.

all pro palestinian arguments FOR THIS POGROM (and in general) boil down to: “everything we do to you, no matter how horrific, is justifiable. everything you do is condemnable.”

you would all make the SS proud.

You just know hitler's smiling from hell right now

Just saw a post that was basically "Hey off of the internet people usually aren't so crazy antisemitic and most of my day to day interactions as a visible Jew are normal, everything is gonna be ok" and I'm making a new post to not derail, but...

I'm super glad, obviously, that this is the case for many of you. But I do think we should be ringing the alarm bells. Because while you enjoy your grocery trips and post office in relative peace (as you ought to), here is a VERY incomplete list of things I have dealt with in the last 11 months.

-assaulted on my way to class, followed, spit on repeatedly (magen David necklace)

-professor took me outside of class and told me I needed to denounce my Judaism (I mentioned in passing my dad's family in an anthropology class)

-same professor refused to accept my final paper for reasons that did not match up with paper, email full of dogwhistles

-same professor told everyone to attend the protests and "teach those zionists to know their place" she is a Black Latina young professor. Yep.

-another professor straight up refused to accept any assignments that mentioned Jewishness (they were assignments about our families). Gave a student who submitted nothing except a picture of a Palestinian flag full marks. Failed me. I am an all As student, btw. Forced to drop.

-the chair of the anthropology department threw my complaints wabout said professors away without due process. His social media is full of blood libel.

-had to miss my finals as I could not physically get to them due to the protests

-followed and harassed in stores

-synagogue was vandalized multiple times

-called a kike while things were thrown at me

-protestors stood outside of my apartment patio with final solution signs

-new apartment, away from campus: friends of roommates harassed me constantly, to the point I could not use common spaces. Roommates told me that's his right because it's his "political view." He didn't even live there.

-new roommate moved in, less than 48 hours before she attempts to stab me, after learning I eat kosher style. "...kosher? kosher?! FUCK YOU" stab stab, etc. Bitch that was my good knife.

-the other roommates tell me to gtfo of the home I'm renting, keeping my rent ("you people can afford to lose money") and destroy a good portion of my belongings while cursing to me random nonsense about Israel. The police took 25 minutes to get there. We live in the middle of the city.

-fun fact: I had never mentioned my political stance to these people and it's not on my face-out social media (very bare bones profiles)

-been disbelieved by everyone I told this to including the police, my school, the leasing company, and my now ex best friend of 7 years

-cursed at in a store when I asked if there was a kosher section

-told nobody likes Jews because we bring down the vibe and have a victim complex. My knuckles are healing just fine after that, btw, thank you for asking! She is not.

I don't know how to request the 7th off from my school without basically incriminating myself with a threat of violence. There is no world where I just sit there when a classmate says "happy October 7th."

Hope this helps.

Note: None of this is uncommon, is the thing non-Jews and safe Jews need to understand. Also, the fact that universities and big cities are traditionally thought of as safer for us is what drew us to them. Like this person, I was also faced with the reality that life in the liberal city I fled to was now unlivable and that the people I thought I could trust to care were the ones most likely to hurt me. I hope this person documented and continues to document every single thing that happened and continues to happen to them and doesn’t shut up about it ever.

Clarification on a common misconception about Israel.

(pasted from my reboot of an antisemite’s post because this needs to be said)

Israel is by definition NOT an ethnostate.

The definition of ethnostate is:

"a sovereign state of which citizenship is restricted to members of a particular racial or ethnic group."

As of 2022, the religious population makeup of Israel is:

"Jewish 73.5%, Muslim 18.1%, Christian 1.9%, Druze 1.6%, other 4.9%"

Clearly, citizenship and residency is not denied based on religion. How about race?

"73.2% (about 7,208,000 people) are Jews. 21.1% (around 2,080,000 people) are Israeli citizens classified as Arab, some identifying as Palestinian, and including Druze, Circassians, all other Muslims, Christian Arabs, Armenians (which Israel considers "Arab") An additional 5.7% (roughly 554,000 people) are classified as "others". (various ethnic/racial backgrounds.)

A quick google search shows that while Jews are the majority, many people of different races reside in Israel. White Christians are the majority in America and many European countries, and yet I have never heard them called ethnostates. Is this only because Jews are the majority? Hmmmm....

In contrast, Gaza WOULD fit the definition of an ethnostate. It has specific ethnic requirements not only to gain citizenship, but also to even enter the territory legally.

Also, to be clear. THERE IS NO RACIAL, RELIGIOUS OR ETHNIC APARTHEID IN THE STATE OF ISRAEL.

There are no apartheid laws against Arabs, Muslims, or Palestinians.

The situation in Gaza is called a NATIONAL BORDER.

Third: Here is the definition of "ethnic cleansing":

"Ethnic cleansing, the attempt to create ethnically homogeneous geographic areas through the deportation or forcible displacement of persons"

Israel has never made an attempt to create an ethnically homogenous area.

You have been fed propaganda. Cope.

people heard "jesus and mary were middle eastern" and took that to mean "jesus and mary were arab" and its because they're historically illiterate 👍

BEGGING and PLEADING everyone to recognize that Middle Eastern does not automatically mean "Arab," that Arabs are only ONE of MANY ethnic and cultural groups indigenous to the Middle East, and that the only reason Arab culture, Arab ethnic identity, the Arabic language, and Islam are so widely spread throughout the Middle East and North Africa is because Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula VIOLENTLY COLONIZED the region in the sixth and seventh centuries and ethnically cleansed the indigenous populations through a combination of mass killings and displacement and forced Arabization and conversions to Islam.

If you REALLY care about the Middle East, please, please, PLEASE learn about some of the non-Arab/non-Muslim ethnic and cultural groups indigenous to the region and their fight to maintain their heritage against the forces of Arab/Islamic supremacy, pan-Arab nationalism, and Islamic fundamentalism.

Here are just a few for people to educate themselves about:
