Thinking about this part of the JVP Tisha B’Av guide:
Literally it says
“This is what the day is about”
And then openly admits that it is purposely removing this meaning from the day leaving… what? Some bullshit shell of Judaism and Jewish identity.
But it’s honestly really telling because this is what they want us to do. They want us to give up our identity “for the Liberation of Palestine” and they think this is a perfectly acceptable request and they point to antizionist Jews and say “see! They’ve made themselves acceptable to us! Why can’t you?”
And don’t get me wrong, I am 100% in support of the liberation of Palestinians from Israeli oppression. At the same time, it is always unacceptable to ask people to alter or give up their cultural identity for any reason, especially at the threat of verbal abuse and violence
I wasn’t going to post anything else today with all that has happened in Israel but evil will not win.
While my heart and prayers are with all the victims and my people, here is a simple lesson on Jewish traditions during Rosh Hashanah.
Traditional Rosh Hashanah foods are symbolic, reflecting hope, renewal, and blessings for the new year. Key examples:
Apples in honey – Wishing for a sweet new year.
Round challah – Symbolizes life’s cycle and continuity, often sweetened with raisins.
Pomegranates – Represent abundance and the 613 commandments
Fish head – Symbolizes the hope to lead and make progress.
These foods are part of the Rosh Hashanah seder, accompanied by prayers and blessings for a fruitful and positive year.

my little cousin called my kippah a helmet and i said “yeah it’s to protect me from the ayin hara” and he said “what?” and i said “the evil eye” and he said “oh like the death star” so we’ve established the following:
the death star is the ayin hara
we wear kippot to protect us from the ayin hara, i.e. the death star
What if I say that the fact people think Jews are white is exactly the proof that the holocaust isn't taken seriously or taught about correctly

Goyim you do realize that going "all zionists ahould be killed" allows people who move the goalpost on what is considered a zionist, kill jews for being jewish, right?
Like Yuval is a perfect example of moving the goalpost. He has described himself as an antizionist, helped raise money for people in Gaza - more than the average person too.
Yet he is being called a zionist online for speaking out about holocaust denial, which is antisemitism, as well as the jews control the world trope, which is also antisemitism.
To a fuck ton of people online, he is considered a zionist, despite literally not being one. Therefore, to a fuck ton of people, he deserve to die.
Whether or not you yourself, want all jews dead, if you think all zionist jews should die, you are at the very least enabling those who move the goalpost to include all jews, in who they want dead, to A) think it's okay to want all jews dead and B) to act on their thoughts.
And like, this is ignoring how zionists should not even be subject to being killed as it is low-key facist to kill someone for their political opinion + 80% - 90% of the Jewish population are self identified zionists so even wanting the majority of jews dead for virtue of political opinion is also fucked.
People need to realize how dangerous this thinking is.
