Please Please Please I Know We All Love Friends And Chandler Was Our Favourite Character And Matthew

there are so many posts saved on my previous blog, and that queue is just going to keep running, and seeing them feels surreal, through the looking glass somehow, very much still myself sitting right here and now, but also the ghost of something, bereft and shadowing me

i wasn’t supposed to be a person i should be a well-loved mug or a worn paperback book or a favorite hoodie or a keychain plushie or something

the thing I have been wrestling with relentlessly is the heartbreak of discovering that my entire worldview and political identity was built on a lie of intersectional solidarity. i know that this solidarity was always aspirational in many ways, and that we all fell short in reality. but to learn that the movement I have spent my entire adult life supporting doesn’t just “fall short” when it comes to jews, but that we are explicitly and insidiously excluded from the circle of progressive moral concern has been devastating. I literally don’t know where to go from here. but I know it has brought me into contact with the unbroken line of my people going back to sinai. we are still here.

fellow westerners, particularly gentiles, if you think, “this is only about (insert infographic reason) (the land) (fighting oppression) (the war)” or “this is the Middle East and Russia, not here,” you’re wrong. if you think, “I’m not causing this simply by using incendiary language on the internet,” you’re wrong. if you think, “well, I don’t have a problem with (((Jews))), but…,” you’re wrong. if you think, “tbh (((they))) deserve this,” you’re helping it spread. do you see why this is terrifying? do you see how this is not helping liberation or a plan for a ceasefire or humanitarian interests? the blood libel and the dual loyalty and the Holocaust inversion and the atrocity denial and the accusations of greed and the dehumanization and the misuse of terms and the misinformation, this is the direct consequence. this has always been the exact consequence. if you think, “it can’t happen here,” look at the college campuses having to tell their Jewish students to hide and the people assaulted verbally and physically on the streets and the graffiti and the break-ins and the chants to eradicate the Jews and the waved swastikas, and the number of people online saying that this is justice, and then attacking any Jewish person they can find, or anyone who expresses sympathy. the ones who say that this is what fighting for freedom looks like. it can’t happen here? it already is. this is the most recent incident to instill fear. it probably won’t be the last. this is not aiding liberation, this is not championing human rights or peace. call it what it is.

A pro Palestine mob has just taken over a Russian Airport because a plane landed from Tel Aviv. They are stopping every car and checking passports to tell who is Jewish. They are going door to door in nearby hotels to look for Jews. They burned down a Jewish community center. They are surrounding random people on the street who look jewish and stealing their belongings to see if they can tell if they're jewish and therefore whether they should beat them. This is happening right now.

Open your fucking eyes. This was never about Palestine. This was about killing Jews. Quit being so fucking daft.
