I thought I understood hatred from the Gamergate era. But it is truly overwhelming to understand the scope and ferocity by which people hate Jews and through Jews, Israel. There’s not this level of disinformation about women. There’s not an alternative, selective history of LGBT people in the same way to dehumanize us. There’s not an open desire to slaughter and erase a marginalized population in America in the same way. And it’s discouraging to know nothing I can say or do will make any difference. I’ve talked about this so much because I have not seen people on the left speaking up for our Jewish brothers and sisters. I wanted to share the historical nuance I’ve learned since October 7th about the diaspora and the cycle of violence that makes Israel’s actions have their own logic. But I can’t make people see who would rather remain ignorant. And a certain point, I have to look out for my mental health. At least five or six times a day for months now, I’ve gotten death threats and rape threats. I’m largely numb to these, but they do take a toll. I am moving on, at least until I can figure out what I can do to help that’s productive.
This is a good view of how we got here. WW2 ended when Hitler died and Germany was obliterated to shreds by allies forces. That Nazi ideology was mostly eradicated in Europe through re-education programs. That ideology never ended in MENA. In fact on the heels of WW2 ending and Britain withdrawing and splitting their Mandate into two states - Muslim Palestine east of the Jordan and Jewish Palestine west of the jordan.. it was all Arab nations that swore to eradicate Jews from the Levant. Attacking in 1948. That’s how we got here. It never ended. x.com/marinamedvin/s…

@rekatz @BriannaWu Antisemitism was a European construct and did not exist in the Arab world. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
@JotyDhaliwal @rekatz @BriannaWu You're either an idiot or an asshole.
@LiveSimulator @JotyDhaliwal @BriannaWu She’s in Oakland… and this is her example and who she’s learning from. Ethnic studies brain rot from a “Historian” rewriting history to fit a natrative
