I have never once consumed any fnaf media whatsoever. at first this was due to a lack of interest in the premise and game design. then I found out the creator is directly and actively using his wealth to support right wing politicians. which made it the easiest double down ever
Those pictures of ultra-orthodox Jews with big beards, peyos (side curls), and black hats waving signs like “Real Torah Jews Against Israel” and “Real Jews Stand with Palestine”? The ones who are all over the news lately?
I am begging you to stop posting pictures of these people and tokenizing them into “good Jews” just because they’re more visibly Jewish than the rest of us. Stop giving this group attention.
Let’s get into the nitty gritty, shall we?
Neturei Karta (henceforth NK because I don’t feel like typing it out every time) does not believe in the current state of Israel. That’s fine. They believe Israel is an aberration because Israel can only be reformed by the Messiah. Without the Messiah, it’s a false state. They want it dissolved. Okay, fine. No problems so far. Lots of ultra-Orthodox people believe that, like the Satmars.
Neturei Karta are, like their compatriots, Holocaust deniers. Yes, that sounds weird coming from Jews, but here we are. They believe that G_d would not allow such a horrible thing to happen to Jews, so it didn’t happen. Occasionally, you’ll get one to admit that the Holocaust happened, but it’s always met with the caveat of “those weren’t real Jews. Real Jews wouldn’t have died. Real Jews would have been rescued by G_d,” or, even worse, “Jews deserved the Holocaust because they were trying to assimilate. If they hadn’t been sinful, it wouldn’t have happened. The Holocaust is G_d’s punishment for Jews.” I shouldn’t need to explain why that’s offensive.
That’s why they carry signs about being “real Jews.” They believe they really are the only Jews and everyone else is an imposter. Anyone who is not one of them is not considered Jewish. They actually chanted this at Netanyahu. That’s funny because Netanyahu is an evil dictator, but (as much as I loathe to admit it) he’s still Jewish.
Of course, since NK follow the Torah exactly (which isn’t possible but don’t tell them that), they don’t believe in gay marriage. They protested Israel acknowledging gay marriages that occurred in other countries and have declared all queer people abominations.
Will you see any of that on their English website? No. They do a very good job of creating a nice facade for non-Israelis to get them on board. I’m told you can find these beliefs on their Yiddish website, but I don’t speak it so I cannot verify that.
Neturei Karta is considered a terrorist group and has met with terrorists. They’re on the watchlist for Israel and the US, which doesn’t say much, but should give you an idea that this isn’t just protesting. They’re encouraging acts of terrorism by funding the Islamic Jihad and fueling radicals to hurt Israelis.
Let’s review:
Neturei Karta is a terrorist cult that hates women, gay people, and people of color. They hate other Jews and pretend that they’re the only Jews. They believe the Holocaust is the fault of Jews not being religious enough. They tokenize Palestinians and their struggle in an attempt to get rid of Israel but don’t actually see them as people.
These are not good people. These are very bad people who appear to be doing the right thing. They look like people trying to liberate Palestine, but they don’t care what happens to them. They believe all Muslims will be slaves in the next age, but for now, they’re useful for their goals. Honestly, this is what is so offensive to me. They are using a marginalized, at risk group for their own ends while still considering them subhuman. Frankly, it’s no different than Evangelical Christians funding Israel because they believe that if all Jews go to Israel, it will trigger the End Times, even though people who deny Jesus will go to hell.
Please stop posting pictures of these people. Stop furthering their message. Stop giving attention to people who do not care if you live or die. There are plenty of good Jewish organizations to support. There’s If Not Now, Jewish Voice for Peace, and Jews for Racial and Economic Justice. Your local reform or reconstructionist synagogue will probably have more information. My congregation protested the sale of arms to Israel on Monday, and will return to protest today (October 18) at the Capitol. There are plenty of other ways to help Palestinians without tokenizing them.
@tributary also added Truah.org as another group advocating for peace that isn’t Neturei Karta.
Jewish Voice for Peace actually has a history of antisemitism
they have been known to perpetuate the blood libel and dual loyalty tropes
like they’ve posted illustrations of Israelis drinking the blood of Palestinian children and it’s been a trend for them to show Israelis drinking the blood of Palestinian children. They post so many blood libel pictures it’s actually crazy
They believe that any attack on Israeli citizens is justified and equate zionism with nazism (which is something that started with the Soviets cause the way they justified antisemitism was by saying all zionism=nazism and all jews are zionists). This is very ironic cause they’ve also made posts supporting Haj Amin Al-Husseini who was a literal nazi who met with Hitler in 1941 and offered to help with the Final Solution by restricting Jewish immigration to Palestine and also just encouraging pogroms.
They also do a lot of historical revisionism by denying that Jews were ever in Israel before zionism as a political movement started and saying that Jews have no attachment to the temple (it is literally the holiest place in Judaism)
this isn’t super surprising though cause most of their chapters are started by non-Jews.
They’ve also platformed terrorists like Leila Khaled, who hijacked two flights and was part of Black September, and Rasmea Odeh, who was convicted taking part in two terrorist bombings, her conviction is disputed but they found explosives and bomb-making materials in her room. And they endorsed the Mapping Project which claimed to map all zionist organizations in Massachusetts but they ended up mapping all the Jewish organizations in Massachusetts and was used by white supremacists to hate crime Jews more easily
Anyway, these other sources are great but JVP is antisemitic
Going to reblog THIS version because I want people to stop spreading pics of NK and tokenizing the hell out of them as “uwu see THESE Jews agree with us!”.
But also JVP is shit and I wasn’t comfortable reblogging with them there so. This is a good refutation of their bullshit. Jewish Voice for Peace is not a Voice for Peace, and it isn’t even that Jewish.
what is there to say anymore when the occupier bombs a hospital and kills a thousand people, mostly children, who were already under seige for eleven days and you know nobody is going to stop them. now a thousand people are dead, hospitals are out of power, there is no food or water, and none of us can do anything. egyptian truck drivers are screaming at the border because they won’t let them in with aid and keep sending them back. what is there to say. what is there to say. what is there to say. what is there to say.
normally we do not post images so horrible but this is a direct request from palestinians not to look away. this is what they’re speaking from. this is what we’re letting happen. this will never be forgiven.
I watched the part with AOC and he was so strange about it lmao I love hbomberguy so much
IT WAS HBOMBERGUY??
he’s always on the strangest shit I love him
Look given how much sleep he was operating on and how much money he raised, he gets to be as weird as he wants
“he’s kinda fallen by the wayside” HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ROBLOX_OOF.MP3 ALREADY?
also i want to make it clear that Harris Bomberguy Brewis was fucking congratulated by the fucking Scottish Parliament for his livestream
dude isn’t even Scottish
Dude absolutely has not “fallen by the wayside”. He just doesn’t put out loads of 10-minute videos anymore.
He puts out some of the most vicious, heavily-researched videos out there that take months to put together, like his huge video on the anti-vax movement, which actually got him a shoutout from the reporter who blew the fucking lid off Andrew Wakefield, the scumbag responsible for the whole “vaccines cause autism” lie that’s done immeasurable harm to, well, humanity as a whole.
Quality over quantity.
I was lucky enough to be on that stream a couple of times. H. Bomberguy remains one of the best people in the world and that stream shows the power of collective action for a good cause with the goofiest of starting points.
Also, make sure to look every TERF like Graham Linehan straight on and ask, sincerely, without malice or recrimination, but with the mightiest need in your voice: “Do you know how to beat Beaver Bother in Donkey Kong 64?”
One of my professors told me recently “You aren’t in the drivers or passengers seat when you write a story. The characters are in the drivers seat and they’ve locked you in the trunk” and I mean he’s not wrong.
being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past ‘dresses are for women and pants are for men.’ i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we’ve made
“We’re in danger of losing what the entire second wave of feminism, what the entire second wave of women’s liberation was built on, and that was ‘Biology is not destiny’. ‘One is not born a woman,’ Simone de Beauvoir said, ‘one becomes one’. Now there’s some place where transsexual women and other women intersect. Biological determinism has been used for centuries as a weapon against women, in order to justify a second-class and oppressed status. How on Earth, then, are you going to pick up the weapon of biological determinism and use it to liberate yourself? It’s a reactionary tool.”
today’s children are gonna become teens and clown the shit out of us for ‘eepy’ and 'blorbo’ but they’ll say it in cocomelonese so we won’t understand them
today’s eepy blorbo is yesterday’s heckin doggo is last week’s smexy bishie
I hate that you’re right and that I understood all of that.
being on tumblr has taught me that girls see men’s hands the same way men see tits, therefore from now on i will be constantly covering my hands with gloves to protect them from the horny female gaze
It’s been seven months since we were in the same place
I made this comic in 2020, when it had been seven months since my partner and I had been able to see each other. It’s 2023 now and once again it’s been seven months, and I’m thinking about portals that let us hold hands.
