Idk I just feel like the liberal / leftist stance of “don’t be a dick about people’s disabilities” should extend universally. Like it would be cool if we could extend that to people with lifelong speech impediments. We could even extend it to politicians who have lifelong speech impediments. Or, and hear me out, because this is crazy. We could try not being dicks about the lifelong speech impediment that the President of the United States of America has. That doesn’t seem like too much to ask does it
saw this in tel-aviv yesterday
Also, I really wish I didn't have to say this, but antisemitism against Zionists isn't okay either. The problem with being antisemitic isn't that you might be harassing a "good" Jew, it's that antisemitism is wrong no matter who it's aimed at.
You cannot justify bigotry as long as it's aimed at "bad" people. The fact that many of the people I see arguing against this simple statement are the same ones who call out transphobes for misgendering "bad" trans people just shows how little society as a whole actually sees Jews as people.
do you ever just sit in the Sukkah and stare at the stars and think “Wow, this is what my ancestors did?” do you ever say a prayer and think about the generations before who said the same words that have just left your lips? do you ever shake the Lulav and Etrog and think about how even when the Etrog dries up and the leaves on the Lulav fall off of their stem, there will be new ones year after year after year?
because I just did. our religion is ancient and our religion is not going away. goyim will not erase us and antisemites will not disgrace us.
we are here. we will always be here.
people think they shouldn't vote as a protest or whatever because they've been raised on boycotts. which do sometimes work.
boycotts deprive the target of money.
not voting does not deprive the government of money.
it does, however, deprive you of power.
it's not like a boycott.
No, today is not a Jewish holiday. Shabbat begins at sundown.
If your first reaction to learning a Jew is a zionist is to start being antisemitic, you were antisemitic in the first place.
