a zionist (who is related to the fascist zionist leader meir kahane) drove a car into a crowd of protesters in nyc today, and the police arrested the protester who was hit by the car and handcuffed them to their hospital bed

im seeing people on the tags like "fuck the kendrick lamar drake drama talk about palestine" like.

I've not seen ppl as mad about people blogging about other fandoms or hell, TADC (no hate! just wrong place at wrong time) which was trending here on tumblr at the same time as kendrick.

why are you specifically singling out people talking about a real life black man who constantly incorporates discussions of political issues, discrimination, and history of racism into his art.

this whole drama is about drake, who profits and the image of being black while being severely disconnected from the culture and history. (this didnt feel like a good explanation, many others in the tag have talked about it please check that out)

like think to yourself why are you mad at people talking about specifically kendrick over other fanbases

Swifties can't think bc I'm seeing them out here calling Taylor the music industry

Babe the only reason that album is even in the top 100 is bc of the cult streaming it 24h long and blocking other artists to succeed

I promise you no one gives a shit about ttpd

Sorry but I do think giving your lover a lock of your hair or a vial of your blood is incredibly romantic

Lmao how is this real, "the ambient sounds of the world were wrong, sir"

i think after you become a billionaire, a peak of being rich, your brain changes. you become so desperate and and scared that you're gonna lose this money that you'll do ANYTHING to keep it. even find ways to con people out of their money and ignore when they say they want none of it. she's a billionaire who's so greedy that she can't fathom NOT being a billionaire. eat the rich people, they're all the same.

Ok gotta talk about it.

As a Jewish historian, I fucking hate Israel in ways most probably will never be able to comprehend. I'm going to try and explain it anyways. The central creation myth of Israel is that it is Jewish, and then consequently, that Israel is a part of Jewishness. Its easy to simply state this is false, but fully comprehending this and putting it into practice in thought and deed seems rare to me.

The evil at the heart of this violence predates the recent acceleration of genocide. Israel is a colony, and more than that, an antisemitic fraud itself. After WW2, when Israel was being founded, the Jews of Europe generally did not wave goodbye to their neighbors and head to the promised land. Many were expelled from their homes. Zionism itself, as an action, was a false choice at the time. A mere excuse to place an ally in the middle east, and an excuse to complete the expulsion and destruction of the European Jew. The Zionist Jew is more than complicit in this, they actively seek the destruction and assimilation of all other Jews.

Many fail to realize, and largely because of Israel, that Jews are not inherently white, Ashkenazi, European-descended people. Our faith and culture has an immense variety that is spread all across the globe. Jewishness, in population and volume of culture, exists more so outside of Israel than within it. Israel is for a very specific kind of Jew. The kind that lets Yiddish die, that attaches themselves to European things, that makes themselves and their practices as white as possible.

And they have the nerve, the fucking belligerent GALL, to frame themselves as the necessary saviors of our people. To the Zionist, questioning Israel is to question Jewishness itself. They bake adoration for the colonial machine into their very prayers, and push them on us even as children. To *not* oppress, to *not* kill, to *not* genocide, is to invite death. This is the core of fascistic thought, of course. "Kill them before they kill us." And they KNOW this too, they really do. The truth of that irony does not matter, because as is true for all fascists, the truth itself does not matter to them. They wanted this, they wanted this even before the British saw it in their best interest to give them the land. Any excuse to RETVRN, as the neo-nazis say of Rome, or the German Empire, or whatever the fuck stupid country they want to poorly animate the corpse of. Some select Zionists even *sided with the fucking Nazis* in agreement they should abandon Europe to colonize Palestine. (Haavara Agreement)

My people have proved time and time and time again you don't need a nation state to have an enduring culture. We have protected ourselves for thousands of years without the help of these spiteful, doom-saying maniacs. I was going to post something like this on Passover, but that would be hypocritical. The state of Israel doesn't actually have shit to do with Jewishness. שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְה Vi tsu derleb ikh im shoyn tsu bagrobn. [my best translation] Hear Israel (beginning of a prayer in Hebrew) I should outlive him long enough to bury him. (an old Yiddish curse)

Free Palestine. Donate what you can, they need it right now.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how absurd it is that there are people on here arguing that it's unfair to judge people's character by how they react to genocide (if they're rich and famous)? No, we should judge their character by how they act when the stakes are lower and it's easy for them, apparently.

Israel doing well in Eurovision is a completely predictable result of the boycott. The people who are watching & voting in Eurovision are now at best willfully ignorant and apathetic and at worst actively pro-Israel, meaning there will be a disproportionate amount of people willing to vote for Israel and even people voting for them because of the boycott.

But saying that means that boycotting Eurovision was the wrong call completely misses the point of the boycott. The point is not "Israel should not win Eurovision", it is "Israel should not be allowed to compete in the first place". The point of the boycott is not to give the EBU views or money, so if you've been boycotting... don't give them money or legitimacy by voting for someone tomorrow to prevent Israel from winning. If Israel does win, that does not mean boycotting failed; it only further delegitimizes the competition and confirms we should burn the whole thing down.
