weird... yiddishculturaldictionary.org uses the term טומטום and abbreviation ט″ט for the neuter gender; i can't find any other instances of anyone doing this though

watch, this election you'll see attempts to portray Bernie Sanders' attacks on Donald Trump as antisemitic

also, you can just start calling Christian Zionists Jews while delegitimizing the Jewishness of Jewish non-Zionists

the new Jews are Zionists of all peoples and religions; the new antisemites are non-Zionists of all peoples and religions

if you make enough spurious arguments calling someone antisemitic enough times (like Linda Sarsour), you can then discredit anyone you don't like who associates with them (like Bernie Sanders)

then you have an entire self-referential system of far-right bullshit that doesn't even come close to reflecting Jewish opinion or priorities or concerns

Yeah we had fuckers like Bakunin too, but antisemetism is 100% a right-wing talking point that no self-respecting modern leftist would even entertain, never mind trying to use it to gain power.

me: fuck you, cold, you piece of shit, i hate you

cold: well actually, i don't exist, i'm just the absence of heat and you perceive that as--

me: and this is why i hate you

and yiddish too

fucking right i'm going to keep learning and studying Hebrew

this was at the camp my Hebrew teacher was at, Auschwitz-Berkenau

the camp my cousin's family would've been destined for if they hadn't found a way to hide

that my grandma's family would've been destined for if they hadn't left before the war

Jews had to drag other Jews out of the gas chamber and put them in the crematoria

sometimes their own family members

sometimes their predecessors

every three months the people doing this would be gassed

some of them managed to hide notes that were discovered, and i was reading one

absolutely fucked up inside from reading about the shoah for whatever reason i decided to do it

dunno why when i've been learning about this from a young age

heard from people first-hand

why anything can still get to me like this

i don't care why people are nazis, or why they go to the alt-right, or why they enable the alt-right

i don't care that germans believed that Jews were the reason they lost World War I, and i don't care that white goyish americans think Jews are why they didn't grow up to be special and why their childhood vision of their country didn't turn out to match their adult reality

i am done with the abusive people who say, "don't you see their point of view?" fuck you.

The news have reached us yesterday that the german government has decided that the Hambacher Forest should not be cut down. This is a statement of the Hambacher Forest Press Team:

This news brings us neither joy nor despair. We interpret this as part of a political strategy aimed at delegitimising the Hambacher forest occupation. In the following points we clarify this as an attack on the climate justice movement:

@derpayatz but Eliyahu Bakshi-Doron and Ovadia Yosef, both Sephardi Chief Rabbis, encouraged Karaite and Rabbinic intermarriage on the grounds that it would encourage the Karaites to assimilate into Rabbinic Judaism
