I was wondering why the olds were carrying care bears too till I figured that's prolly one way for the israelis to make sure they don't speak out of turn (by monitoring them).

I think the bears are referencing the absolutely deranged display where israelis put blindfolded bloody teddy bears around tel aviv next to pictures of child hostages.

Moshe-Mordechai van Zuiden

To dislike certain ethnicities is racist; to see Jews as equal is antisemitic

Understand the specialty of Antisemitism

We need to thank Whoopi Goldberg and the many who answered her so well with the renewed realization that Antisemitism is Racism.

Jews are not overprivileged. Just like Asians living in their Diaspora, Jews just work super hard to try and get a handle on the oppression. That’s not privilege—that’s sweat, blood, and tears.

However, there is a good reason not to just call Antisemitism only a form of Racism. It’s an animal with very specific rules since there is no culture or religion like the Jewish one. While all Peoples are unique, some are more special than others. Which doesn’t mean, as adorable as we are, that we’re more worthy than others. To be specific, when G^d calls us the Apple of His Eye, He doesn’t mean He’s going to treat us with favoritism. Instead, He means that He will hold us to a higher standard. But, to make things complicated for starters, when bigots hold Jews to a higher standard, that’s—you guessed it—bigotry. When we Jews live up to our potential we are equal to Gentiles who live up to their potential. (If the latter could live up to the Jewish standard, they are invited to join us Jews.)

‘Race’ is actually culture. We’re all homo sapience sapience: one race. Western racists (Nazis) got obsessed with genetics, build, and skin color. But non-Western racists often don’t care about lineage, only about religious practice, loyalty, and identity.

Considering one ethnicity, one culture better or worse than all others is Racism. No one is completely defined by their background or identity. And among all pastry, you have bad cookies. Don’t discriminate.

Yet, Jews are the only Nation not just based on practice, location, or beliefs. Jews are the only People based on an assignment. And their Divinely ordained task is to be exemplary to all of humanity. To be G^d’s ambassadors on earth, fighting for the good of everyone.

That means that when one says that Jews are just like everyone else, you’re a bigot. You don’t need to look down on Jews to be Antisemitic.

When our parents say they want to be our friends, that’s nice. But we better also respect them as teachers. Totally equalizing them is demeaning them and arrogant of us. When Jews say they want to be everyone’s friends and allies, that’s nice. But Gentiles better also give them respect as their teachers. Totally equalizing them is demeaning them and arrogant. NB: We are not Christians ‘Older brother.’ Too many older brothers in the Hebrew Bible were passed over by younger sibs. We are their parents.

And, the idea that Jews should be no different than Gentiles already implies opposing Jews. As if they should adjust to majority norms, integrate, and assimilate away.

Being against mixed marriages is racist. Two cultures in one couple enrich both partners. But many Jews marrying out helps Jews to die out. It also means going along with self-hatred as if anything non-Jewish would give a personal safe passage out of the Antisemitic danger zone. European and Arab Jews marrying each other is enough marrying out already. And that happens in Israel to an unprecedented degree. Outside of Israel, nowhere do we find such a percentage of Whites marrying non-Whites.

Saying the N-word is racist. It dirties your mouth. But, when discussing Antisemitism, it’s good to list all the stereotypes because part of the oppression of Jews is to deny it.

Bias against homelands can hurt minorities in the Diaspora. Prejudices against Africans (‘primitives,’ ‘hotheads’) devalue Black migrants around the world. Prejudices against Asians (‘mystical people’) dehumanize Asian migrants the world over. But propaganda against Israel hurts Jews in their Diaspora like no other minority. Zionism is to Jews what feminism is to women. Men who ‘like women but not feminists’ show they don’t like women; rather, they like being served. Jews and Gentiles who ‘like Jews but not Zionists’ show they like Jews as long as they feel scared all the time so that they can be manipulated to serve and comfort the Gentile powers to be; but not when they are independent and proud of themselves.

Judaism laid much of the foundation of all Monotheism (One G^d), Science (One Universe), and Democracy (Equality) in the world. That’s why hatred of Jews is the ultimate ungratefulness, throwing mud on Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Einstein, and Herzl. And therefore, the Holocaust doesn’t compare to any other genocide, Armenian included—though they are all horrific.

It seems that Intersectionality was designed to promote Antisemitic. It advocates comparing oppressions and seeing how they are all interwoven. Because Antisemitism is so unique, and because Jews are kept hostage by the top level of societies (and blamed for all ills), it often ends up uniting all oppressed groups against the Jews, the victims of the oldest hatred.

And so, you see there is reason not to just regard Antisemitism as one of the forms of Racism. Jews-oppression is too specific. It’s a special bigotry.

apologies if this is like onion-level satire or jonathan swift trolling and i'm just not picking it up

Not gonna lie- the Israeli hostages are bidding them farewell with such sincerity.
But of course- it’s unlikely israeli media will publish this. And instead will say bogus claims about how they were tortured and raped and abused.

Per the Guardian, here's who hamas released today:

quote:

They include four members from the same family: Shoshan Haran, 67, a charity worker, her daughter Adi Shoham, 38, a clinical psychologist, and her two children, Nave, 8, and Yael, 3. Not on the release list is Adi’s husband, Tal, father to the children.

Also included is Shiri Weiss, 53, who worked as an accountant in Kibbutz Be’eri, and her daugther Noga Weiss, 18, but not her husband, Noga’s father, Ilan. No adult men from Israel are scheduled to be released among the first 50 promised by Hamas.

Maya Regev, 21, is also included. She was captured at the Supernova music festival at Re’im, just a few hours after coming into the country from a holiday in Mexico. Her brother Itay, 18, and their friend Omer She-Tov were also taken hostage and have not been released.

Here is the full list of Israelis released tonight:

Noam Avigdori (12)

Sharon Hertzman Avigdori (52)

Emily Toni Kornberg Hand (8)

Shoshan Haran (67)

Maya Regev Jirbi (21)

Alma Or (13)

Noam Or (16)

Adi Shoham (38)

Naveh Shoham (8)

Yahel Shoham (3)

Hila Rotem Shoshani (12)

Noga Weiss (18)

Shiri Weiss (53)

I do wonder why the prisoners seemed genuinely fond of the Hamas dudes. Seems weird to think that people who were nabbed off the settlements in particular would have their opinions shifted just by being treated with dignity as a prisoner and being exposed to the realities of life inside a concentration camp. They must have seriously gone above and beyond to protect them from the IAF.

yes. they are victimizing people. with genocide.

take a close look at those people being relentlessly bombed and buried under rubble. losing limbs before they hit puberty. unable to find bread or drinking water while hospitals and refugee camps are deliberately targeted and destroyed. you can’t just accept it, you should ask, is that really true? and then when you see that it is, you should say, death to the occupation entity and its allies, and gently caress you and everyone else who defends and apologizes for it, “Ben Jensen”
