Beautiful Post. Beautiful. Unrelated, The Author Of The Book People Love Dead Jews Goes To My Shul And

beautiful post. Beautiful. Unrelated, the author of the book people love dead Jews goes to my shul and she liked my Purim costume

I saw a production of Fiddler on the Roof in my city tonight that tried to make the story about the contemporary Russia-Ukraine war by having the characters be played by actors who are escaping into the world of Fiddler to get away from the war. It was really infuriating and maybe it’s because I spent my week rereading People Love Dead Jews for my xf meta but I can’t help but be pissed at the decontextualization and dejudaizing of such a famous piece of musical theater. It feels like the non Jewish director didn’t care about telling a story about Jews. She had to make it secretly about people she sees as worthwhile to tell the story. All we are to them is these fictional creatures to puppet around and learn something from, not flesh and blood human beings

EDIT: To clarify based on an ask I got, I know it’s already Americanized and historically inaccurate. This was adding insult to injury.

When I was little, I thought that the language of English was a conspiracy. That the government was like: "OK, it's like 1700 and in a few hundred years this girl is gonna be born. Let's make a new language and then eventually someone's gonna tell her ity was all fake." My reasoning for people having accents/people not speaking English was that they just didn't want to comply. I genuinely believed that my parents and siblings all spoke another secret language that I didnt know about. I thought this till I was like nine

Could y'all fucking IMAGINE if Leftists treated other groups the way they treat Jews?

If, because of what's happening in Syria with the Druze, they started harassing every Muslim they came across and chanting- "Muslims are shit" -and saying that they should all be killed for the actions of a government they have zero control over.

If, because of what's going on in the Congo, they started using KKK uniforms, symbols, chants, and slogans and then, when black people said- "hey, the KKK actually wants to kill all black people and is incredibly racist, you using these things is making us uncomfortable and it's normalizing racism, could you please stop?" -Leftists replied by calling them slurs, saying that they're wrong and that the KKK was just a "resistance group," and that black people are just using racism to excuse genocide.

If, because of China putting Uyghurs in internment camps, Leftists starting spreading conspiracy theories about how Chinese people actually started COVID-19 to kill everyone and spread it on purpose, said they eat dogs and cats, said they control the media/hollywood/politicians/etc. and then---when some actor says something racist about Chinese people and gets kicked off a show/film, or gets kicked off for something COMPLETELY UNRELATED to their racist views but they're known for expressing said racist views---they start talking about how those "dirty Chinese" are controlling the media and "silencing" people.

If Leftists took the word "transition" and changed the definition to mean "I support pedophilia" and then started saying- "90% of trans people want to transition! They want transitioning to be more easily accessed! See, what did I tell you? They're all a bunch of pedos! Kill them all!" -and when trans people tried to explain that that's actually NOT what transitioning means and give you the ACTUAL definition, Leftists proceeded to tell them that THEY actually know more about transness than actual trans people and that trans people are lying about the definition and that anyone that uses the word "transition" is clearly a pedophile who should be murdered.

Like...it's literally fucking insane.

None of this shit would ever fly if it happened to another community, but because it's happening to Jews it's condoned and even DEFENDED.
