The Montreal Jews aren’t playing around.
THESE are the messages we need to start sending.
We will not be intimidated. We will not be driven off our land.
I have been irreversibly radicalized by all the discourse since October 7th. I honestly don't give a crap about Palestinians or their cause. Not when they all celebrated our slaughter.
Conquer all of it, and leave them stateless.
“As a Jew”, here are some facts:
1. Ashkenazi and Sefaradic Jews are closer to each other than all other groups.
2. Jews plot closer to Levantine pops than Europeans.
3. LITERALLY ALL OF JEWISH HISTORY SHOWS OUR CONNECTION TO ISRAEL
READ. A. BOOK.
As a Jew, I have no ancestorial rights to land in Palestine. If I got a DNA test, it would show European descent.
To think that a white person would have ancestorial ties to Middle Eastern land is absurd and stems from a colonizer mindset.
Here’s the thing:
If you only publicly identify as Jewish to call for Israel’s destruction, but don’t identify as Jewish in any other context…
You’re not a Jew. You’re an antisemite with identity issues.
“Jews are European settlers!”
*proceeds to tell story of how three Arabs couldn’t tell each other apart from Israelis.*
Who needs satire? This is WAY too good.
@ayaghanameh
One time I sat in a crowded eatery in Thailand and two women came and sat at my table and gave me dirty looks... I snarled back. Then they started talking Arabic... To my relief I told them "sorry I thought you were Israelis", they laughed and said they they thought I was.
“Ashkenazi” and “Sefaradi” don’t exist in any real sense anymore and should be disregarded.
I am a Jew.
Where my ancestors were exiled or what customs I keep are largely meaningless.
The Arab definition of being “Middle Eastern” is that you speak Arabic and are an Arab. All other groups are seen as deviations.
I’m not going to let this race supremacist define who I am.
Jews are a Middle Eastern group. Deal with it.
Ah yes, let’s let the Catholics teach us what piety is. The religion that “fasts” on Lent by eating a three-course meal as long as it doesn’t have meat.
Our laws are consistent, at least.
Ashkenazi Jews…
We are not Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, Germans, etc. that HAPPEN to practice Judaism.
We are a Middle Eastern ethnicity, descended from those who were forcibly expelled from ancient Judea.
This misconception needs to be corrected.
No, Jews don’t believe that Red Heifers mean the Messiah is coming.
It’s a purification ritual in order to step foot onto the Temple Mount, that’s it.
Not everything is Jewish conspiracy you lifeless weirdos.
I think it’s time we move past the Sefaradi/Ashkenazi Paradigm.
I’m not arguing to get rid of custom, if it’s time we start seeing ourselves as collective “Jews”.
Hey Palestinians of Twitter, just a little thought exercise. You accuse us Jews of being colonizers because we only started resettling the land en masse about 150 years ago.
In a TOTALLY unrelated question, what’s your family last name?
If you’re Jewish, I beg of you, learn Jewish history. We have such a rich cultural and religious heritage it’s mind-boggling.
Although, for the non and anti-Zionists among you, it is almost impossible to learn Jewish history without becoming a Zionist ;)
Orthodox Judaism will be fine.
Haredi Judaism I don’t think will survive the 21st century.
There is an absolutely massive crisis about to happen in a lot of these Haredi communities and no one realizes it yet.
This is psychotic. They will use a camp that was used to kill millions of Jews, in order to virtue signal and promote their irredentist ideology.
Demonic.
People don’t understand what at the root of the Israel-Palestine issue.
“Why doesn’t Israel negotiate with the Palestinians?!”
We can’t. They’re not speaking the same language as us. We’re offering sovereignty, their counteroffer is genocide and annihilation.
I’ve been Jewish all my life, and I have yet to get ANY check from the media, the banks, or the Elders of Zion.
Is there a number I need to call? A form I need to fill out?
My personal opinion is that in 2-3 generations, the terms “Ashkenazi”, “Sefaradi”, and “Mizrahi” will become largely irrelevant terms. We will simply be known as “Jews”, and that’s how it should be.
Thoughts?
“Ashkenazim should go back to Europe.”
No. You wanna know why? Most Ashkenazi Jews don’t remember Europe fondly at all. It was a place where we were constantly genocided. The fields of Europe are irrigated with Jewish blood.
After 2,000 years we came home. We’re not leaving.
A reminder: Mount Sinai is located in Egypt and a Greek Orthodox monastery bearing my name is located at its foot.
Zionist attempts to turn multifaith, multiethnic, and historically layered spaces located in Palestine and Egypt into 'purely' Jewish loci is colonial erasure.
“Jews are social degenerates that actively ruin every country they live in, they should go back to their desert.”
*returns to Israel*
“Jews are white supremacist invaders who are actively suppressing the indigenous population.”
What do you people want from us?
Ashkenazi Jews are as indigenous to the Levant as any group of Jews. Yes, we spent time in Europe. That does not take away from who we are or where we come from.
If you are a Jew, and you spread the lie that Ashkenazim don’t belong in Israel, just know, it won’t stop with us.
The two state solution died the minute Arafat walked out on Barak and Clinton and started the Second Intifada.
Jews are tired with negotiating with people who are interested in slaughtering us.
You’re not getting a state. Deal with it.
Arabs: *conquer their way across the Middle East and oppress the Dhimmi*
Jews, Copts, Assyrians, Kurds, etc. : “So… we want our land back. You guys can stay though.”
Arabs: OHMYGOSH. LITERAL COLONIZATION. FREE THE MIDDLE EAST.
Honestly, some Christians getting mad about the BCE/CE dating is ridiculous.
Do you want to say BC/AD? Go ahead, literally no one is stopping you.
I’m not going to say it because Jesus isn’t “lord” for me. Grow up.
The amount of Jews my age who have NO idea that we are a separate ethnicity and not just Slavs, Poles, Italians, etc. that happen to follow the Jewish religion is concerning.
Jewish education has failed young Jews, utterly and abjectly.
The Sudra, hands down, has got to be one of the most LARPy things I’ve ever seen.
“Guys, Jews are our own culture! So instead of embracing that, let’s wear an Arab head covering!”
Just wear a Talis…
I am losing so many brain cells from this tweet. Please send help.
Hebrew, in the same vain as Latin, was used as a language of prayer and scholarship for over 2,000 years. Yes, we know what the original language means, you idiot.
Very stark differences here.
When Jews commit attacks on Palestinians, there is very stark condemnation from almost all of Jewish Twitter.
When Palestinians commit attacks on Jews, Palestinian Twitter celebrates.
Very easy to see where the reasonable side is.
1. Kaparot are not practiced by all Jews, even Orthodox Jews. (I don’t do it, personally.)
2. No one believes you’re “transferring your sins”. It’s a completely symbolic act.
3. It is a tenant of YOUR religion that you can absolve your sins by doing a ritual. What projection.
I love how people are pushing the Khazarian Hypothesis again.
Y’know, the completely disproven theory claiming Jews are descended from Turkic tribes?
Ashkenazi Jews are Middle Eastern. Keep coping.
To be EXTREMELY clear:
All the evidence shows that Jim Conley murdered Mary Phagan and framed Leo Frank.
The governor of Georgia at the time ran his own investigation and found that Frank was innocent.
Sorry history doesn’t suit your narrative.
The entire Palestinian identity is based on co-opting Jewish stories and traditions, Arabizing them, and then crying bloody murder when Jews practice their culture.
Change my mind.
Hot take: If you are “Jewish”, and in any way condone and/or deny what Hamas did to 1200 civilians or don’t stand with the Jewish people during her greatest time of need:
We should completely and utterly expel you from our community. Strongest Cherem possible. You’re gone.
Because Arab “Jews” don’t exist. They are separate ethnicities.
Also, no actual Sefaradi or Mizrahi Jews identify with the term Arab. You imposing the term on them is a form of colonialism.
Jews are the sole arbiters of Jewish identity. We’ve decided that either your mother needs to be Jewish or you need to convert in order to be Jewish.
“But that’s not inclusive!”
It’s not meant to be. We’re an ethnicity, not a summer camp.
Concubinage is bad actually. There is a reason Judaism banned it over a thousand years ago.
It deprives women of their rights.
Not to mention, most of Judaism’s prophets and leaders were strictly monogamous.
Slavery is also bad.
My sleep schedule has been completely a-wreck since the Simhat Torah Massacre.
I have changed as a person, and I have never been more angry in my life.
The Far Left and Far Right are both:
- deeply racist
- hate (((Israel)))
- are misogynistic
- simp for Dictators
- “said genocide isn’t happening, but it’s also good if it does.”
- are terminally online.
For the sake of normalcy, moderates need to learn to come together.
The Christian inability to understand what the Talmud is is mind boggling to me.
No, it isn’t some vast plot of Jewish domination.
No, it wasn’t laws that were “made up”.
It’s a serious of debates about Jewish law. That’s it.
Dear Christian Fundamentalists,
No, Jews are not banned from reading Isaiah 53. We read it all the time.
The problem is that you’re reading it wrong.
Yours,
The Jews
Converts are a cherished part of the Jewish nation.
However, we do NOT, by any means, encourage conversion to Judaism nor should it be encouraged.
This is deeply anti-Jewish
Ashkenazi Jews are not European
Sefaradi Jews aren’t Spanish or Portuguese
Mizrahi Jews aren’t Iraqi or Berber or what have you.
We are all Jew from the land of Judea/Israel. We all have a shared identity and ancestry. It’s time we start identifying as such.
There is precisely one difference between Ashkenazi, Sefaradi, and Mizrahi Jews - custom.
Besides that, we are the same people. This should be remembered
Chants of "Khayber Khayber ya yahud jaish al Mohammed Sa'ar Yaud" in Trafalgar Sq, while carrying a fake dead baby.
'Khayber Khayber O Jews the army of Mohammed is coming'
This is an anti Jewish hate crime
@metpoliceuk
Yes, I’m definitely sure people named Mohammed the Kurd and Ahmad the Egyptian are completely indigenous inhabitants of the Levant.
My guy, there are Leibovitz’s who have been in Israel longer than Al-Masri’s.
Ask Israeli Jews “Where are you from?” they’ll say Russia, Poland, Iraq, Yemen, Kurdistan, anywhere but Palestine. Ask Palestinian, they say: Yafa, Haifa, Jerusalem, etc. Israeli Finance minister, the racist terrorist
@bezalelsm
Smotrich's namesake is a town in Ukraine.
To my Sefaradi and Mizrahi brothers and sisters, with as much love as possible:
When you say to people “actually over 50% of Israelis come from the Middle East” you implicitly deny Ashkenazi indigeneity, even if not knowingly.
We don’t need to justify ourselves to antisemites
Reasons I despise Kahane:
1. Set back Religious Zionism by 50 years
2. Tried to erase the long existence of Jewish Democracy from Orthodox Judaism
3. Made people think that Halacha = Sharia
4. Didn't like the Druze
5. Was effectively Fascist
Every single Jew needs to learn how to fight or use a weapon.
Both the Zionists and the Bund formed militias to defend their communities against antisemitic attacks. It’s high time we do the same.
When you show force, the antisemite cowers.
This is so ridiculously racist against Mizrahi Jews.
Mizrahi Jews didn’t leave because they were duped by Ashkenazim.
They left because they were tired of being pogromed every five minutes.
It kinda strikes me how sensual medieval Judaism was.
The great Sefaradic poets would write poems about beautiful women and compare that to their love of G-d, something scandalous today.
What happened to THAT part of Judaism?
Whenever people bring up Sefaradic or Mizrahi Jews, they talk like they have no agency.
“They were duped by the Zionists! We lived in peace before then!”
Do me a favor, actually talk to a Jew from Iraq, Syria, Iran, etc. They thank G-d every day that they’re in Israel.
There seems to be a weird correlation between the Pro-Palestine movement and serious mental illness.
Setting yourself on fire to show support isn’t normal. What’s even less normal is that people are celebrating it.
@FarisInArabia
That’s not entirely true… that’s actually mostly not true.
Yes, there are many conservative cities that high homocide rates, but it’s mostly the lax on crime liberal big cities that have their crime rate go out of control.
I mean… have you seen LA and SanFran recently?
@KeithWoodsYT
The ADL, because they are so aggressive in their demands to ban social media accounts for even minor infractions, are ironically the biggest generators of anti-Semitism on this platform!
The fact that so much of the online right is making a big deal of the fact Jews don’t believe in Jesus as the Messiah.
Believe it or not, Christianity and Judaism are separate religions.
Who knew?
Dear Christians,
No, the birth of a Red Heiffer does not automatically mean the imminent arrival of Armageddon or the Messianic Era. There is no such Biblical prophecy. It doesn’t exist.
Sincerely,
The Jews
Palestinians will say in full earnest “Go back to Poland” and have their last name be “The Egyptian” and not understand the irony.
The only foreigners here are you.
Jews have been called many things throughout the exile. Yahud, Jude, Juif, Judio, Ivrey, Ebreo, etc.
All point to our origins in, and our unceasing connection to our homeland - Judea.
Yes, NYT. Israel IS part and parcel of what it means to be Jewish.
Yiddish is not nor shouldn’t it be the purview of self-hating Jews who would love nothing to see us eternally exiled.
Zionists spoke and treasured Yiddish. Territorialists spoke and treasured it.
You don’t get to hijack it because your Morah sent you to timeout in 3rd grade.
Right wing antisemites are a lot more honest than left wing ones.
A right wing antisemite will call you a dirty Jew, name all the antisemitic stereotypes in the world, and say that your ruining the world.
The left wing antisemite does the same thing, but uses “Zionist”
Absolutely vile Jew hatred at the Berkeley City Council meeting yesterday.
They weren’t targeting Israelis, but the Jewish community at large in Berkeley:
Comparing the the Israel-Arab conflict to the Holocaust is not only disingenuous but absolutely disgusting.
In five years, the Jewish population of Europe went from 9 million to 3 million.
In more than 50 years, the population of Gaza has increased ten times over.
@SToroian
Do you want me to bring you the plethora of historical, genetic, linguistic, or cultural evidence that we’re descended from the Ancient Judeans?
