You Are Jewish Enough Just As You Are.

Can I say I think it's insane how "xenophobia is fine if their government is bad enough" is like a mainstream liberal opinion to have. Also just deeply funny to think that way as an american. You think random people should be hated for where they're from except for you? War crimes capital of the world? Please be serious. Or is it like a guilt thing. Idk

I’m slowly realising that almost nobody thinks that antisemitism is a real problem. They only think nazis are a problem (if that even), because they were conditioned to hate them.

But they don’t consider their own antisemitism to be antisemitism - they just consider it to be common sense, or justified political activism!

saw this in tel-aviv yesterday

Yes, today is the seventh day of Sukkot, Hoshana Raba! Hoshana Raba is the day on which it is said that the divine judgement which was “sealed” on Yom Kippur is delivered. Outside of Israel, Shemini Atzeret begins at sundown. In Israel, Simchat Torah begins at sundown. Please note timing and observances of these holidays may vary by congregation.

im not an orthodox jew (im conservative/masorti) nor am I a woman, but it is wild to me how often ill see an orthodox woman explain why she chooses to do something and why it brings her joy/comfort/empowerment, and literally every goy is like "ummm that sounds sooo horrible i could never do that you must be suffering so much". no she literally just said she liked it why are you convinced that every woman who is willingly part of a religion must be trapped.

like yall claim to be feminists but dont actually support women making their own choices, especially when those choices can impact men. so what if that orthodox woman isn't gonna have sex with her husband for a bit? so what if she likes to cover her hair a wig instead of a tichel? is it your place to judge her at all? the answer is no!! leave her the fuck alone. if you truly care about autonomy then learn to support it even when it's not a choice you'd personally made. do it without snarky comments about how you can't imagine how she does it, and actually try to respect the real person that she is

also please listen to actual orthodox women on this more than you listen to me. they are the ones with front row seats to this antisemitic misogyny, and they should be taken seriously when they talk about their issues
