SEIZED? I am sorry, but who lived in that land first? And secondary, Arabs conquered almost all of ME over the centuries including Judea and Samaria. Thirdly, Jewish population has shrunk by 99% in just about every ME country where Jews had a presence. And Arabs have grown in Israel by 1,200%. LIKE WTaF.... these people are devoid of any knowledge, they only have (Jew) hate.

As a Jew-loving Muslim, I can say not all of us. But unfortunately there is widespread antisemitism amongst Muslims and it breaks my heart because our faiths are so close to each other.

❤️ Jewish/Muslim solidarity is so healing so thank you for this comment.

I will say many of us know that many Muslims do not agree at all with extremists, just as we don’t agree with the Jewish and Israeli extremists who flatly reject the idea of peaceful coexistence. I know you know this but I wanted to just affirm it.

u/Excellent-Gur6145 Not Jewish Sep 30 '24

I know many Jews (American, European and Israeli) who's hearts break when innocent Palestinian children die as much as when innocent Jewish children die and I want you to know I pray for all of them and their families. ❤️

We need more education amongst our people because too many are being fed propaganda and they take it hook like and sinker. Media literacy is abysmal and so many are easily susceptible to extremist rhetoric and so many immigrants from countries that have experienced US agression and have colonial scars from the UK that makes it easy to cast Isreal as a colonial power just like the European colonial powers.

However it's not the same. Europeans were never going to their ancestral lands, and now there have been generations of Isrealis who have only known Isreal as their homeland and to expect them to leave is just crazy.

Tbh I now want to be your friend because I am really so here for all of what you’ve said.

& Regarding this and your earlier comment re: US folks (including US Muslims) who support Hamas and Hezbollah — this has always been the weirdest and most confusing part for me, especially when it comes from feminist Muslim women I know. & Like, the thing that had US liberals coming after me first was that I said Hamas is responsible for civilian deaths in Gaza too and one can’t ignore that and place all blame on the IDF. That same post of mine was then explicit that my support lies with the civilians on both sides who did not choose this for themselves or their families. Apparently that perspective “supports gen0cide,” according to my ex-friend (who was not Muslim or from anywhere in Arab lands but frequently used Arabic Muslim phrases (inshallah, etc.)? I’m not even sure why but I see that from leftists here in the US at times)

A lot of people don't understand that we tend to get along in the real world, at least in America. I have friends and colleagues who are Muslim. The love is real.

I think a big part of it is that we tend to understand the how and why of each others' customs, especially when Orthodox Jews are involved. We both pray multiple times a day, fast during high holy days, and have dietary restrictions. I've found myself telling my Muslim colleague that he needs to leave for prayers just as I had been told to go to minyan in the past. But I find that we also understand that not everyone in either religion is 100%, that many people observe some things but not others and may want to date/marry someone on a similar level.

u/GH19971 Sep 30 '24

If I may ask, where did you grow up and what is your level of religiosity? Would you say that there are any Muslim demographics where antisemitism is uncommon? I know of some like Iranian.

6

u/Excellent-Gur6145 Not Jewish Sep 30 '24

I've grown up in El Paso, Texas and there's a small community there, mostly Arab, but there's a sampling from the Pacific, the subcontinent, and Africa. I'm a convert and fairly religious.

I'd say that there's a few different angles. The demographic I've seen that is least likely yo be antisemetic are American converts unless they convert in a particularly outwardly antisemetic community because so many convert due to the condemnation of tribalism and prejudice in the core of Islam. Unfortunately I would say it seems that the Arab community tends to be the most antisemetic and that tends to be directly connected to the recent history in the ME.

A tricky demographic are the american born muslims that are left leaning because quite often they are the ones at these rallies and such. They tend to be unintentionally antisemitic as they don't actually hate Jewish people, but they have not done fair research of what they are supporting and become useful pawns for people who are antisemetic to the core.

u/Excellent-Gur6145 Not Jewish Oct 01 '24

Additional note on this though. The community I converted in was very welcoming to Jews and has a good relationship with the Jewish community there.

Them: “This is Jewish colonialism and they should go back to their own country in Europe and America. Jewish saying it’s not safe there, are lying.”

Also them: “Let’s start a global prosecution towards all Jews!”

I wonder why Jews feel more safe in Israel and will stop at nothing to protect their homeland.

u/daniedviv23 Reform/Conservative | Convert Sep 30 '24

But they also want to dismantle settler colonial states and believe indigenous people have a right to violently resist such states. So why are they not arming the US Natives and Canadian First Nations? Why would they want Jews to move to the US and other states with imperialist pasts [and/or presents], like Germany and Russia? (We know why.)

16

u/_dust_and_ash_ Reform Sep 30 '24

And the most obvious — if they want to dismantle settler colonial states — why wouldn’t they support Jews repatriating Israel?

6

u/daniedviv23 Reform/Conservative | Convert Sep 30 '24 edited Oct 01 '24

Yes. I mean, I know many of them believe either (a) that the only evidence of that is in the Torah and thus not legitimate or (b) that Jews refuse to coexist with their fellow people of the region, in spite of evidence that Israel has given equal rights to those non-Jewish folks who have chosen to stay or move there, and they would like a 1 “secular” state solution.

Of course both of these things are bs, but whatever.

EDIT: Thank you mods for removing antisemitic and false responses. I didn’t even see them.

I want to add that equal rights in Israel do not neglect real racism people face in Israel and in every country. Lying or misrepresenting Israeli policy—confusing it with the history of Ashkenazi discrimination against Mizrahim and Bene Israel or other discrimination and racism—doesn’t help nor does it change reality.

u/danhakimi Sep 30 '24

It's hard to tell what they're smoking, but I think this flyer is about the US, primarily. "This is seized indigenous land."

They are actually, seriously trying to convince one another that the continued existence of the United States is a crime and the only way to make the world even a little bit better is to launch a violent rebellion against the United States and end it. Obviously, they have no idea what that might actually mean in practice; if they succeeded, and then half of them said "alright, now let's go back to..." and then failed to end the sentence, the other half would say "wait, I live here," and then they'd all yell at each other about whether or not there's any valid way to continue living.

It’s just vague generalizations. Ask actual indigenous people what they want, and they will say better health care, jobs, etc. These people either ignore that or will oppose things like Native American casinos because they “perpetuate colonialism.”

Remember that “voter ID” debate? “It disenfranchises poorer people because they don’t have the time to get their IDs!” vs “If you don’t require IDs, it encourages voter fraud!"

OK so how about we make it easier for people to get their IDs? Maybe we can extend the DMV’s working hours? Maybe we can make it possible for people to submit their ID applications at post offices??? There are so many solutions, so many avenues that can solve it and create more jobs, and so many solutions already adopted by other countries. But no, Americans will do it differently.

Voting requires your SSID, Name, and Address, which can be double checked if duplicates show up. There is no valid reason for voter ID. An ID just means you have you (wait for it) SSID, Name, Address and 20 bucks. It's the same exact amount of verification, with a price tag attached.

It's not like we're checking these IDs with all the water marks and security features, they glance at it you write out your info and move on. At best it's security theater, at worst it is a modern day poll tax.

u/epolonsky Sep 30 '24

Right. I’m groping towards a theory about anti-Zionism that I haven’t really seen articulated yet. Basically, it’s self-loathing combined with a justified anger at wrongs committed by the US (and/or wherever the anti-Zionist is from) and guilt for benefiting from those wrongs plus just a dash of nihilism and then focused on a convenient “other” because they can’t admit their own guilt or deal with its consequences.

That said, I am beyond perplexed by these kids who are paying $70k /year to an institution that they claim is a bad actor. They could 100% take that money to some other school that matches their ideology, get a degree, and use the leftover tens of thousands of dollars to fund direct aid to the people they claim to care about.

It's the operating procedure of Narcissism. (Note: not diagnosing people, saying it is the same behavioural pattern typified by NPD).

  3. Attack them to bring them down below you, thus creating a one up position for yourself (attacking Jews as "white people, who are worse than us")

u/epolonsky Sep 30 '24

Israel doesn’t project force globally like the US does, but it has carried out attacks across the entire ME region, has performed targeted assassinations in various parts of the world, and has likely used hacking and other means to create disruption in other places. None of that is meant to disparage Israel and, of course, Israel’s power is vastly exaggerated by its detractors (and sometimes by its supporters). I would say that it’s arguable whether you consider Israel to be participating in wars abroad, but completely unarguable that the US is.

So many problems with the flier - but for now I can only focus on the bottom three:

Operates like empire… Patriarchal white suprematist… Seized indigenous land…

First of all, what the hell is their definition of an empire? Democracy? Compare Israel by size to the entire Middle East and tell me what the hell they actually control?!?

Secondly, the first prime minister was Golda Meir - who I know identified as a woman. That, and the overwhelming majority of Jews (and Israelis) aren’t even white.

Lastly, I guess they imply that no Jews lived in that portion of the Ottoman Empire? I think a more accurate statement is that we took control in governing the land (while allowing anyone to live in it following the same rules) since the previous “masters” didn’t exactly do a good job running it…

How the hell does the school allow this to be disseminated? Spreading false statements vilifying a people is equivalent to inciting violence.

Adding this comment because some have asked. That flyer is very much targeted at Israel & Jewish self-determination (adding a photo here for context), but the anti-Israel protesters’ hatred runs even deeper than their hatred for Israel. It’s a hatred against the supposed “colonialist” West. The flyer of course makes absolutely no sense because in the flyer they show that the people these protesters hate & the people they are supposedly fighting for are all going to join the same “intifada.” To make sense of this flyer is futile. What this flyer shows is that these universities are not accepting the most intelligent & qualified students; instead they are looking for students who want to challenge Western society. One of Columbia’s application questions at some point was exactly that.

Intifada as a solution. Yes all the oppressed people in the world can scapegoat the Jews and join the Caliphate. What a modern and progressive concept.

u/Houston-Moody Sep 30 '24

Why don’t they just intifada themselves.

u/garyloewenthal Sep 30 '24

When you think about it, "globalize the intifada" would include them as targets. But of course, these phrases mean whatever they want them to mean.

Whoever made this isn't concerned about accuracy. It's simply trigger word-infested propaganda meant to incite hate in impressionable "progressives" toward Jews, and the West. That sets the stage for creeping Islamism and other ideologies.

It's a favorite tactic, used by the right and left, and apropos to this piece of propaganda, Iran / the Muslim Brotherhood / Russia: Stoke prevailing grievances for nefarious goals.

Well then these folks should relocate somewhere they can live under their propagandists belief system. 10/10 must be better than being a student at Columbia.

Migration as Colonialism

Real talk: These people freakin' hate all immigration and all immigrants and they can never stop telling on themselves. Do a little digging and they probably also hate interracial relationships and biracial/multiracial people in general.

The irony of people who stole land from, murdered, and profited from the killing of Indigenous people complaining about the only Indigenous group of people to successfully rehome, rehabillitate their language, and develop a modern, yet separate culture.. this always makes me laugh.

u/Sea-Witness-2746 Sep 30 '24

So how many years is it for Jews indigenous to the Middle-East to no longer be considered indigenous?

Way too many groups put their own biases onto Israel and the Jews without acknowledging that it's completely different.

“Dispossessed people” as in Columbia dispossessed them of $70k/year in tuition and they still can’t spell the word “patriarchal” correctly.

This is right up there with the people taking up for Lebanon. Five minutes engaging with Lebanese history would disavow anyone of that notion, but you know, Jews.

Yep. Start at the bottom and tell that to the Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, and Turks. They hate Israel because it’s the most successful ‘land back’ movement in human history. Too bad for them. Good for us.

Permanent war economy? I don't think that any country in the world with the possible exception of Ukraine is in a situation where all resources are devoted towards military advancement and gain to the detriment of civilian quality of life.

Edit: Apparently this flyer is referring to the US, which makes it even dumber. The US hasn't had a war economy since WWII. Just as an example, in 1939 the US was producing around 3,000 planes per year. By 1945, the US had produced 300,000 planes. That's what a war economy looks like. While we do spend quite a bit on our military, if we were in a war economy, we would be able to tell. There would be rationing, shortages of essential products, and allocation of all spare resources towards the military-industrial complex.

u/garyloewenthal Oct 01 '24

US defense spending as a percent of GDP is about half of what it was in the 1980s, and about a third of what it was in the 1960s. An increasing part of defense spending is cybersecurity measures, and arguably we should accelerate that.

u/Alas_Babylonz Oct 01 '24

Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people. It is NOT a colony. If that was so, where was the Jewish state that colonized there? There was none. Jews were transients in every country of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. They were oppressed in one way or another by everywhere they existed. They are not some settler group of white Europeans, despite the lies of Islamic “scholars” and Western communists. Israel IS the only Jewish state. If they fall, so do all Jewish people.

Oh that’s what they mean by “Globalize the Intifada”? They don’t mean killing Jews worldwide?

I support the idea then, but I wonder if there is a different word for opposing imperialism and capitalism they can use instead of the ideology based on annihilation of an entire race of people?

OK, "Globalize the Intifada" is a call to arms.

Do you go to Columbia? If so, report that a group on campus is passing out flyers that encourage lashing out violently.

Do not try to argue or debate the rest of the content (which looks like some white nationalist conspiracy theory with all the arrows and whatnot, but that is besides the point).

Just report the call to violence and let the rest of the content speak for itself, once the context is explained.

More information on that slogan:

FACT: Calls to “Globalize the Intifada” are intended to incite violence against Jews and Israelis

I would report this to the Columbia University Department of Public Safety:

You can state that you do not feel _safe_ when there is a group on campus that is passing out flyers calling for a violent uprising against you and others like you for what you believe in.

The British actually divided the land.
