Never, ever listen to a dominant culture person who tries to tell you antisemitism isn’t that big a deal.
And no, we don’t care if your cousin's neighbor's dog-walker's aunt is a Jew and told you that your hot take is ok or that you stand up for “ones you like” or what other excuse you make up.
There’s a serious issue with antisemitism on the self-described left. Antisemitism on the left is more dangerous than antisemitism on the right because antisemitism on the left is being mainstreamed.
@eris @TonyStark eris please cut it out. is even mentioning antisemitism too much now? nobody even mentioned palestine
That would be the issue, yes.
>is even mentioning antisemitism too much now?
Yes I do think it's liberalism to gloss over genocide to make it seem like the struggles of white Americans are the only issue worth discussing.
make it seem like the struggles of white Americans are the only issue worth discussing.
nobody said that. accepting that antisemitism is an issue, and should not exist in no way discredits the struggle for palestinian liberation. why the fuck is it okay to act like this about antisemitism? you would never say that the genocide in palestine means its “liberalism” to talk about gay bashings in the US, or any other domestic issue. there are no grounds to be hostile with jews simply for talking about the antisemitism they experience
Maybe that's polarizing and controversial to you for people to find topics like this tonedeaf but I'm happy to be polarizing if it means pressuring people to discuss genocide instead of white issues.
@eris @TonyStark its tonedeaf for jews to discuss antisemitism? is it tonedeaf for me to discuss transphobia? what makes discussing oppression tone-deaf?
@eris @TonyStark not every post on the timeline needs to be about gaza. and there’s no reason to single out posts about antisemitism for this
@eris @TonyStark and we see posts about gaza on here every day. and you pretend like antisemitism isn’t a “real-world issue.” you know jews in the US get attacked right? and why do you single out antisemitism for this, when we see meta posts about transphobia (and even make them ourselves) daily?

people are mad at israel, and antisemites make that all jews’ problem. please stop with this dismissive attitude
@dangerdyke @eris @TonyStark Do you think that we shouldn’t talk about transphobia because of Palestine?
@eris @TonyStark @dangerdyke How exactly is this gaslighting? In what way am I trying to convince you your memory is wrong or get you to question your reality?
@eris @TonyStark @dangerdyke I didn’t say you said that, that’s why it was a question. Don’t try to trick me into being all “Am I an abuser on Mastodon?” by saying I’m gaslighting you when using examples and comparisons to clarify an argument.
@eris @TonyStark @dangerdyke I’m throwing a moral fit? You’re the one moralizing about “white issues” and “divorcing from real world issues.” It’s clear you don’t think antisemitism should be cared about or considered because you find it immoral to care about oppressors like Jews.
@TonyStark @dangerdyke @eris wow looks I have some real growing to do
