There’s a fundamental Christian belief that ends up glossed over because it’s mostly there implicitly, to create the sin and salvation narrative: We are put here, on Earth, as a punishment. I’m sorry, but as a Jewish person, that’s antithetical to everything I ever learned.

@jjosephmiller Because a white rural person with a Confederate flag is making a specific ideological statement.

It’s assumed that everyone who dies, perhaps unless they were utterly reprehensible, will have a place in Olam Ha’Ba, the World to Come, that they won’t be separated from Hashem.

@tearoeprice @FemboyLifestyle Yes, I have Reddit. I have never encountered anything like what you’re claiming, but I can’t outright prove it doesn’t exist. Since you’re so certain it does, though, I’m sure you’ll provide direct links presently.

I await the day all Christians realize they can fully Christian without trying to Christian up Judaism. Ideally without ever referencing us or any of our thought movements ever again, thanks.

@BBonkBonkBen @hilaryagro @kate__said She said “for most of human history”, to be fair. Given the age of our species, industrialization and even agricultural revolution are relatively recent. So if those factor in, it’s only going to have been for less than 10% of human history.

@VazquezMusings @alybunny @JustSayXtian @C_Stroop You have neither been defamed nor bullied. You made false accusations about Judaism, were corrected about them, and have consistently doubled down in your ignorance. Calling that out is not bullying and it’s not defamatory, not least of all because the latter requires falsehood.

@BiologyLost @Ahava_Makuta When a group feels unsafe engaging in their own practices, doing those practices instead of them isn’t allyship. It’s self-indulgence, and a means of twisting the knife. Instead, find a way to change the environment so they feel safe performing their practice. This does not.

No Jew, literally not one, is calling on your privileged, antisemitic and Islamophobic ass to comment on this situation. And if they are, they’re a schande fur di goyim. You? You’re a gormless opportunist. Fuck back off into irrelevance.

Just a heads up that @ISASaxonists is blocking and hiding replies from people who question their use of “zio,” a word with, at best, a problematic history.

@Arielle_Ivy Ever seen the kind of braces with an extra hook to they can be connected with a rubber band? One of those hooks got impaled in my cheek. That wasn’t the painful part. It just felt weird. My dad decided the best way to deal with it was to just rip it through my inner cheek.

@LexiAlex “Cherem” is effectively a form of expulsion (see: Spinoza), but good luck getting anyone of any authority in a Jewish community to initiate it over protesting for a ceasefire.

Advocating against that displacement is easy enough to do on moral and ethical grounds. The moment you bring race science into it, you’re just distracting from that advocacy and engaging in bigotry.

@cherriesandgin @Delafina777 I remember it was asked “why not cover it up?” Apparently there was a provision in renting the space that they couldn’t cover the symbol. Which is both weirdly specific and… Indicates that they had to know it was a bad enough look that they asked.

In my freshman year of college, the others in my hall draw and scratched Stars of David on and into my door once they found out I was Jewish, as one of multiple ways they made it clear I was unwelcome. That the IOF is now trying to do similar to weaponize Judaism is fucked.

The use of religious symbols to terrorize people is below our dignity as Jews and an insult to those who gave their lives for them.

Jewish "overrepresentation" is at least partially a Streisand effect of Western Christians making concerted efforts throughout their history to make us highly visible and relevant. Just a consequence of their Judenhass coming home to roost.
