Wild how every Western leader is like "The world is dangerous for Jewish people and that place way over there will be the only safe place for them" rather than making their own countries a materially safe place for Jewish people to exist.
the library creates children's spaces, that are safe and educational and fun, in a world that increasingly wants kids to grow up and engage with work and adult activity. Not to mention all the other resources that the bkpl and the nypl offer!
if imma be actually political ill say New york city is fucking evil for cutting library budgets Especially now in the winter. Libraries are some of the only safe and warm spaces accessable to the homeless and so many working adults need the resources provided there too

the nyc library system is one of the only reasons why I became the person I am today, I spent all of the pandemic running online youth programs there, I spent my whole childhood sitting in the library while my parents were at work, it's such a safe haven for so many people

Falsely stating that anti-Zionism is antisemitism conflates all Jews with the Israeli state and endangers our communities. It fuels deadly violence and censorship campaigns against Palestinians.
We are proud anti-Zionists Jews. We refuse to pit communities against one another.
I literally learned *in hebrew school* that anti-zionism should not be conflated with antisemitism, and to believe so is to play into the antisemitic stereotype that jewish people have a double loyalty to israel
A new House resolution, which may be voted on as early as tonight, "clearly and firmly states that anti-Zionism is antisemitism." This comes after a previous resolution hinted at that claim, but did not fully state it. So now Congress wants to leave no question.
But there's an additional trap: Anybody who votes against this resolution will be said to have voted against condemning antisemitism.

Among other things, by codifying ethno-nationalism as the only acceptable expression of Judaism in America, this is the most antisemitic resolution to be considered in generations:

i'm learning yiddish rn and have wanted to for years, my dad insisted on yiddish being "useless" and dead, and he refused to teach me it!! I'm trying to be connected to my culture and there's such an abandonment of it that's connected to zionism and a desire to forget our roots

the way well-off white jews in the west have managed to monopolize claims to antisemitism, grief, and victimhood, while black and other nonwhite (incl., palestinian) jewish persons are rendered entirely invisible from public memory, has been fascinating to witness recently!

And to see it reinforced in fiction like “this is the natural order of things, our hierarchies are the only thing keeping us from committing atrocities” no this is a you problem
it’s all preemptive justification to institutional violence

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.
There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.
I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then.
It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit!
So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.
And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

You don’t need to be a military expert to know that killing thousands of people with nowhere to go will leave entire generations scarred, will harden hearts and will breed more hate and violence.

⚠️ HAPPENING NOW AT NYC'S GRAND CENTRAL STATION: THOUSANDS OF JEWS AND ALLIES HOLD AN EMERGENCY SIT-IN, DEMANDING A CEASEFIRE IN GAZA. WE'RE TAKING OVER THE GRAND CONCOURSE. WE'RE REFUSING TO ALLOW A GENOCIDE BE CARRIED OUT IN OUR NAMES. CEASEFIRE NOW! NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE! ⚠️

I don’t think anyone is grasping the dystopia of this all
Hundreds of Jewish-Americans calling for ceasefire with @jvplive are getting arrested at Grand Central Station

By identifying pro-Palestine student groups as “pro-Hamas” (an organization classified as a terrorist organization by the US government), the US Senate (including Bernie Sanders) has just robbed thousands of students of their freedom of speech and criminalized them en masse.

this is why it’s so important to emphasise that it is NOT a religious conflict but an ethnic cleansing and genocide. Palestinians of all backgrounds are affected
