My inbox now: a few racists blaming all black people for the actions of one small group of assholes, and a bunch of people telling me Jews are liars who made up the holocaust blah blah to oppress other minorities and should be sent back to the camps already. People who are getting responses: neither, because I don't feed the trolls.
I just got asked to post fucking proof of the holocaust. I hate this hellsite.
Aren't the same people who "accidentally" just happened to make their event inaccessible to black Jews are those assholes already revealed as having ties to a group who claim that Jews weren't the main targets of the holocaust, and that Jews made it up to cover up the real story of nazis trying to exterminate various other groups? And you all are eating it up. Yikes.
Let’s be real,
the only reason People are going BUCK over this is because they feel like all the shit in Charleston was centering black people “too much”.
they didnt want to say it out loud. but it was obvious in alot of the overly competitive way alot of posts about it were made. there were one too many “this march was actually about US” posts floating around.
so when this march got scheduled (finally) and it happened to be on a high holy day, thats when they decided to show their ass, in a way that really felt like “ You cant have this, im sick of seeing you niggers”
Are you fucking serious? "Happened to be a high holy day" it was deliberately scheduled to exclude a group of black Jews who were seen as undesirable for their Jewishness. This is so disgusting. And some of the schedulers are fucking holocaust deniers. OP should have marched with alt right. They seem to share the same beliefs and values as them. Intersectionality or go the fuck back to Germany with your buddies. People will no longer tolerate things being deliberately set up to be non-handicap accessible or done on Jewish or Muslim holidays or set up to be unaffordable for the working class.
For half an hour, three men dressed in fatigues and armed with semi-automatic rifles stood across the street from the temple. Had they tried to enter, I don’t know what I could have done to stop them, but I couldn’t take my eyes off them, either. Perhaps the presence of our armed guard deterred them. Perhaps their presence was just a coincidence, and I’m paranoid. I don’t know.
Several times, parades of Nazis passed our building, shouting, “There’s the synagogue!” followed by chants of “Seig Heil” and other anti-Semitic language. Some carried flags with swastikas and other Nazi symbols.
Soon, we learned that Nazi websites had posted a call to burn our synagogue. I sat with one of our rabbis and wondered whether we should go back to the temple to protect the building. What could I do if I were there? Fortunately, it was just talk – but we had already deemed such an attack within the realm of possibilities, taking the precautionary step of removing our Torahs, including a Holocaust scroll, from the premises.
Again: This is in America in 2017.
So about 4 days ago my brother was working in the yard and he was getting rid of this big old plastic pot we had that was already falling apart. To fit it in the garbage bag he had to smash it into smaller pieces with a shovel.
But when he dumped out the dirt….
…eggs. Ten little eggs.
My mom brought them in to show me. Not knowing what they were or if they were dangerous or not, she asked me if I wanted to take one and open it up outside to make sure it wasn’t full of baby bugs or something. I told her that they were definitely reptile eggs but she was still giving them the ‘I-still-don’t-trust-that-they-aren’t-bugs’ look.
I knew there was no way it was full of bugs and I wouldn’t be able to get it off my mind if we cut one out and killed it. But then I remembered candling.
If you don’t know what candling is, it’s when you put a flashlight under an egg to check if it’s fertile or not.
So I told her to hold on and I ran to get a flashlight.
Lo and behold they were not bugs.
It was our first time ever candling anything so we weren’t exactly sure what to look for. The only videos I had ever seen for candling an egg was a video talking about how some geckos lay eggs without a mate but there is a rare chance they could be fertile anyway; the eggs in the video were always empty though. So we checked all the eggs and they were all alive and responsive. I managed to convince my family that I was 99% sure they were lizards of some kind.
Since we kind of accidentally destroyed their nest and a storm was coming we set out to give them somewhere safe to hatch.
We got a pot and filled it with damp dirt like the one we found them in but smaller. After candling each egg, we made a divot in the dirt and placed each egg half in and half off, careful not to turn them too much and damage them.
My mom did some research and found that the eggs needed to be kept somewhere with good humidity so we got a plastic book crate, drilled some holes in it, and filled the bottom with wet paper towels.
The mystery eggs were put in the garage where it was just as hot as outside but safe from the huge thunderstorm.
Day 2 of eggs and nothing happened. We didn’t think anything would happen just yet but we were all a little worried that we were doing the wrong thing. It was my day to go finish up cleaning up the dirt and shards from the broken pot in the yard when I found another egg.
I picked it up and it wasn’t as firm as the others. In fact it was leaking. I called my mom and candled the little guy. He was just as alive as the others were. There wasn’t much room in the new incubator with the other eggs so we got a tiny beta fish tank we haven’t used in years and fixed it up for the egg. We put it in the garage next to the others.
Now this egg had me worried. He had been out in the storm with a damaged egg. I would go out and check on him throughout the day. Not a thing happened and I was starting to worry that he didn’t make it.
Day 3 of eggs was interesting. I went out to check again on little egg 11 with my mom. She asked how the others were doing and wanted to see. It was fogged up on the inside so I shone a light through and saw it. A head! A little baby lizard head poking out of the egg!
The incubator was taken inside and everyone was gathered around the table. We would all switch from watching the eggs, to someone doing research, to checking the eggs, to setting up the empty tank we had, to checking the eggs again.
All together 4 little lizards were hatching. They’d kick for a bit in their eggs but then fall asleep because it was so tiring.
After a while my mom got concerned about one that hadn’t opened its eyes in ages. It wasn’t moving. I picked up the egg and put it in my hand. I rubbed the shell and gently gave it little tugs. Then out the baby came!
This little guy came out healthy and fast. After a brief look-around he ran out of my hand and back into the pot. Then over the edge of the pot to explore the hides we fit in.
After 4 of the babies fully hatched and we figured out what we were going to do, we put the incubators in the spare tank we had so we could keep an eye on them. At that point it was a little past 1:00am and a 5th egg started to hatch.
Day 4 of eggs and lizards we went to the local pet store to get something that these super small babies could eat. Luckily, Petco carries super small crickets and meal worms. We loaded up on reptile supplies: bus, vitamin dust, hides, heat lamps, you name it we probably bought it.
Upon getting home my mother and I readied the tank.
At that point all but two eggs had hatched. One we thought wasn’t going to make it because it didn’t react when I candled it, and the other was number 11 who was found a day late and broken. We decided to move the two into one incubator instead of two while we moved 9 of the lizards into their temporary home.
When we look for them they were hiding in the incubator all curled up together under a plant we had put in. They actually seem to do that everywhere they decide to hide which is kind of surprising to me. I thought they were going to all be really territorial with each other. But they seem to like each other more than I thought they would.
After a few hours, number 11 hatched and he was just as healthy and fast as the others despite being through the storm earlier. Not too long after that, the last egg hatched. He was much smaller than the others but equally as fast. We added them both to the tank with the others and they hid as quick as a ninja.
Day 5 of lizards was mostly setting up heat lamps and lights and worrying if they were okay. They stayed hidden under rocks and brush. We never saw them eat so we went back to researching.
Day 6 of lizards and they are alive and well! They’ve taken a liking to the new heat lamp and have been scuttling around there all day. I even saw one eat a cricket!
Even the smallest of the bunch was enjoying himself in the warmth :)
I will continue to take care of them until it comes time to release them back to their natural habitat. I’ll keep you all updated. It’s such a strange and wonderful learning experience :)
the ideas that the black community is particularly antisemitic and that the jewish community is particularly antiblack are white supremacist myths that not only ignore the existence of black jews, but are designed to drive a wedge between our respective communities and prevent us from organizing together. it’s not a coincidence that antiblackness & antisemitism are two of the most fundamental underpinnings of white supremacy and yet we have historically been pitted against each other and trained to distrust each other, more than is warranted. of course nonblack jews are no less antiblack than any other nonblack people, and black gentiles are no less antisemitic. but make no mistake that any mysterious vitriol between our two overlapping communities is the expert work of white goyim trying to redirect our hatred and suspicion away from them.
Actually, a lot of the vitriol comes from the unfortunate tendency of people being oppressed to want someone even lower to pass that violence along to, to feel superior. Let's not pretend like all minority communities are 100% innocent folks who could never do wrong unless fooled into it. Minority groups deliberately and spitefully do this shit to each other all the time and it's NOT something just coming from the outside. It comes from the same place as within-group prejudice. Like when Jewish men attack Jewish women- it's because they want to feel superior to someone to help cope with how they feel about themselves being oppressed and they don't care whose expense it comes at. Do not let perpetrators of bigoted violence off the hook by saying their actions are just from being pitted against each other. And frankly, anti-ROMANI sentiment is 100% just as much a pillar of white supremacy and yet is ignored. The Romani are being entirely erased from their own damn narrative and it's ridiculous. American dynamics of prejudice are being projected onto European and English history.
NY Haredim protest after police allegedly manhandle 3-year-old Jewish boy, community suspects Antisemitism
#EverydayAntisemitism
Jewish residents of Monson, New York, have staged a protest after police allegedly mistreated a 3-year-old Jewish boy
The boy reportedly returned to his home last Friday after Summer school to find the door locked. He waited at the front of the house and was spotted by a non-Jewish neighbour who called the police.
Another neighbour, this one also a member of the Haredi community, took the boy in. The police arrived at the neighbours house, left, and then returned to take the child to the police station. It is alleged that they manhandled the boy, throwing him into the back of a police car “like a sack of potatoes”.
The boy was apparently so scared that he wet himself in the car, and no attempt was made to calm him at all, despite the fact that he was visibly distressed and terrified about being taken by the police.
There seems to be no reason for police officers to have to apply such a level of force to a three-year-old child, even if they are resisting.
Local organisers wrote the following:
“Dear Monsey residents, we all know what happened last Friday, when two officers dragged a three-and-a-half-year-old boy to a police car with no legal right! Dragged him from the house [of a neighbor] to a police car, with the child in shock [causing him] to wet himself in the police car. That is outrageous! This is absolutely antisemitic, they had no legal right to take a person from inside a home without a warrant or a court order!”
Whilst we cannot comment on whether the police had the legal right to take the child from the neighbour’s house, if it is true that he was treated with such a disregard for his mental and physical well-being, then this report is extremely worrying, particularly when it concerns a boy so young, and particularly if an antisemitic motive is indeed found.
It is not known whether a formal complaint has been made in relation to the incident. Unfortunately, despite police mistreatment of ethnic minorities having become a major talking point in the United States, it appears that only news sources which cater to the Orthodox Community have covered the incident.
i still can’t believe nate ford wrote an angsty, parker/hardison/eliot, bad at doing their jobs au, warning:major character death, no happy ending, don’t like don’t read fic to distract an interpool agent
new rule: you’re only allowed encourage people to punch nazis if you truly and actively support Jewish people
uhh Nazis want a lot of people dead, not just the Jews. ya ain’t special.
you literally just all lives matter’d the holocaust
@tikkunolamorgtfo do your thing, love.
Listen.
Jews and Roma were the only two groups slated for total annihilation by the Nazis.
That’s not to say other people weren’t persecuted under Nazism, but when it comes to other groups, not only were they generally spared the death camps, but there were always exceptions to be made when it suited the Third Reich. There were disabled people who were never targeted (Goebbels being a prime example). Hitler only had Ernst Rohm (a high-ranking gay Nazi official) taken out because he thought he posed a threat to his leadership; prior to that point, he actually did everything he could to make sure other people didn’t discredit Rohm because of his gayness.
Other groups generally just had to denounce ideologies and declare loyalty to the Reich. Many refused and were targeted because of it, Jews and Roma? No such option.
If you were a gay or disabled or communist Jewish or Romani person, you had no option to be overlooked—because as a Jewish or Romani person, you were already on the docket for extermination.
Look, I’m mixed-race. I’m South Asian and Jewish. And sure, neo-Nazis definitely don’t love me for being Desi, but they’ll always hate me first and foremost for my Jewishness, because that is what Nazis do.
So don’t come at us with this “All Lives Matter” bullshit. When it comes to Nazism, the top targets have always been Jews and Roma.
Jews lost 1/3 of their total population in the Holocaust. Romani people lost up to a half of theirs.
“Ya ain’t special”?! Do you know how much Jews and Roma wish they hadn’t been ‘special’? Do you know what it would mean to us to have those millions of dead back? Neither of us have reached our world populations Pre-Holocaust. 70+ years later and there are still less of us in the world than their were in 1938. That’s what Nazism did to us. That’s what Nazism is to us—mass depletion on a global scale. And you don’t have the right or power to rewrite that fact.
Go fuck a lulav.
Okay, I promised friends I was going to stay out of discourse around here, but I can’t with this one.
First off, @tikkunolamorgtfo, you’re not wrong at all about your historical facts (obv). And while I will gladly line up against the whole All Lives Matter BS, I have to point out that OP is wrong, and your historical facts aren’t relevant (though still important to remember), because punching a Nazi isn’t about WWII Nazis, but Nazis today, and Nazis today? They don’t give a fuck if you’re Jewish - not anymore. All modern Nazis care about - especially American Nazis - is that you aren’t white and you aren’t Christian. They’re almost a new faction of the KKK, except instead of it just being a race thing, it’s race and religion (and sexual orientation, and political beliefs, and damn near everything ever). The modern Nazi wants to end us all.
So yeah, if you want to punch a Nazi because their core beliefs revolve around eliminating you to get rid of yours and the people you love, you go right ahead and deck that sonofabitch.
“Nazis today? They don’t give a fuck if you’re Jewish - not anymore.”
Such an interesting statement! I assume you have some documentation to back that claim up, though right?
Like, if I were to consult the online files compiled on white extremists by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the organization most widely known for tracking hate groups in the United States, and look at their page about Neo-Nazis it would specify that, as a group, they no longer care about Jew—OH WAIT
Well, now hold a minute, because it says here: “Neo-Nazi groups share a hatred for Jews and a love for Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. While they also hate other minorities, gays and lesbians and even sometimes Christians, they perceive “the Jew” as their cardinal enemy.”
Oh, and then there’s the little issue of the fact that search for the “Neo-Nazi National Alliance” in their database comes up with winners like these gentlemen:
Our first contestant, August Kreis, once told the Buffalo News, “In the beginning, I thought the blacks were the problem. I didn’t understand there was an underlying cause. … The Jew is the enemy of all races on the planet.”
What a charmer!
Contestant Number Two, John de Nugent, likes a little fantasy in his conspiracy theories. As the SLPC notes in their profile: “While maintaining racist views about numerous racial and ethnic groups, de Nugent is particularly anti-Semitic, believing that the Jews are, along with nefarious space aliens, intent on exterminating the Aryan race.”
Aliens! Exciting!
Willis Carto, our third contestant of the evening, is a good ‘ole fashioned Holocaust denier who apparently “became infamous for his pro-Nazi and rabidly anti-Jewish views.”
Who doesn’t love a station that plays classic hits from the 30s and today, amirite?
Oh, and who’s this mystery guest coming up in the search results?
Looks like it’s noted Neo-Nazi Ronald Doggett holding a sign that says “Smash Jewish…er, something! Well, gee, what a guy!
But, you know, this is just the SLPC’s website. I’m sure there’s more to it than that. Like, if I Googled some neo-Nazi page like the Daily Stormer it probably wouldn’t even mention Jews, or like, list a page about hating them as their first point of entry or anyth—Um. Hm.
Okay, but there’s that really famous neo-Nazi that got punched in the face recently. Richard Spencer, right? And his neo-Nazi buddy Andrew Anglin. Yeah, what have they been up to?
Oh. Okay. So…hating Jews, mostly. Got it.
Anyway, honestly, I kind of forgot what point I was trying to make here. Was that you and I both agree that OP was 100% right, because Neo-Nazis, like their Third Reich idols, specifically hate and target Jews as their primary ideology? That was it, right? Yeah, must be.
Good talk.
I’m wondering if after Charlottesville @stephrc79 will still argue that “WWII Nazis” are somehow different than Nazis today" as if the Holocaust was some ancient historical event. Or if they’ll argue that “Nazis today…don’t give a fuck if you’re Jewish - not anymore. All modern Nazis care about - especially American Nazis - is that you aren’t white and you aren’t Christian.” I heard “Jews won’t replace us,” “blood and soil,” kike, “the goyim know,” and “Heebs will not divide us” alongside anti Blackness and the homophobic f-slur. They didn’t say anything at all similar to “all non Christians will not divide us.”
I also looked through their archive and although I may have missed it, I found no apology or clarification. Just that they had deleted the above post.
That's cause they ARE also basically a fucking nazi and deserve just as much scorn as their blood brothers. Ship that loser off to Germany with the rest of their flock. If you deny the holocaust congrats you're now an honorary nazi, and you should be forced to go live with them forever.
Saw a comment on fb that “Any Jew or African American who voted for this man should be ashamed!”
From a white gentile
And honestly I am about ready to murder anyone else who tries to blame either of these groups for the fucking nightmare that is our government right now.
We’re 1.8% and 13% of the population, respectively. Look in the fucking mirror if you’re trying to find a group that should feel ashamed.
Also Jewish people and Black people were literally the least supportive demographics for Trump.
Right? Like, shame on all 10 of y'all who voted for him!
hi i just love sharing my fav scene from sesame street ever
‘In 1778, two Irish gentlewomen put on men’s clothing and ran away together. Lady Eleanor Butler had received several offers of marriage but was determined to share her life with her friend Sarah Ponsonby. […] They spent the rest of their lives in a black and white house called Plas Newydd outside Llangollen, cultivating their garden, improving their minds and filling the house with clocks, cabinets and “whirligigs of every shape and hue”. [They also had] a little dog called Sapho.’
One father of a marcher in Charlottesville, Virginia over the weekend is denouncing his own son after the young man was seen on national news spouting hate.
In a letter to Fargo, North Dakota’s Inforum, father Pearce Tefft wrote that his family wasn’t sure where his son Peter picked up his racist beliefs.
“I, along with all of his siblings and his entire family, wish to loudly repudiate my son’s vile, hateful, and racist rhetoric and actions,” Tefft wrote, clarifying that he certainly didn’t learn such values at home.
“I have shared my home and hearth with friends and acquaintances of every race, gender, and creed. I have taught all of my children that all men and women are created equal. That we must love each other all the same,” he continued. However, he acknowledged, that Peter chose another path.
The family has remained largely silent, but Tefft said these recent events pushed them over the edge. Remaining silent, he believed, would be a mistake.
“It was the silence of good people that allowed the Nazis to flourish the first time around, and it is the silence of good people that is allowing them to flourish now,” he wrote.
He went on to say that his son is no longer welcome in their home or at family gatherings until he renounces the hate. The beliefs of the younger Tefft has also brought hate targeted at his relatives, who are being considered guilty by association.
His father recalled a time when his son joked, “The thing about us fascists is, it’s not that we don’t believe in freedom of speech. You can say whatever you want. We’ll just throw you in an oven,” Tefft recalled.
“Peter, you will have to shovel our bodies into the oven, too. Please son, renounce the hate, accept and love all,” the father closed.
Peter’s nephew also denounced him, according to local news outlet WDAY 6.
“In brief, we reject him wholly – both him personally as a vile person who has HIMSELF made violent threats against our family, and also his hideous ideology, which we abhor,” his nephew Jacob Scott said. “We are all bleeding-heart liberals who believe in the fundamental equality of all human beings.”
“Peter is a maniac, who has turned away from all of us and gone down some insane internet rabbit-hole, and turned into a crazy nazi. He scares us all, we don’t feel safe around him, and we don’t know how he came to be this way. My grandfather feels especially grieved, as though he has failed as a father.”
These poor people deserve a better son. Can we get some kind of family exchange program for them?
Why does being a woman put you at greater risk of having anxiety? Part biology, part what we teach our kids about their place in the world.
