This morning I received a text from a parent of a student at Columbia University. A friend of her daughter’s was told that she wasn’t allowed to attend a lesbian Black cinema night because she was a “friend of the Zionists”. She then received this letter:
First they came for the Black people
And I did not speak out
Because I am not Black.
Then they came for the Indigenous people
And I did not speak out
Because I am not Indigenous.
Then they came for the Asian people
And I did not speak out
Because I am not Asian.
Then they came for the Jews
And there was no one left
To speak out for us.Can you read between the lines of this poem? white Jewish people are today and always have been the oppressors of all brown people, just like every other white subgroup. white supremacy is so extreme that even AFTER they (white Jews included) violently went after ALL brown people, they then looked around the room of just thempastyselves and said hmm who is the most different looking here…? And it was the Jewish people! So that means {Took our name if girl here for her protection} and I’m gonna touch your hand when I say this, WHEN I SAY THE HOLOCAUST WASN’T SPECIAL, I MEAN THAT. You got a lot of nerve coming into a Black person’s inbox talkin bout "I’m afraid of brown people as a white Jew"
With all the information available to us, the only people who support "Israel" are very stupid and/or very racist. Stop looking at the news' interpretation of primary sources and look at the primary sources themselves. C'mon aren't we scholars? Look at eye.on.palestine on Instagram. Look at social media from people actually on the ground (that includes 0 Zionists, they in the air dropping bombs). No, white Jewish people in Palestine are not dying on a large scale. No, none of the white Jewish people you're referring to are from "Israel," colonizer settlers don't just suddenly "come from" where they forced their way into. No, no one cares how much a white girl cries anti-semitism when we say stop the genocide.
Did you know that only white Jews are allowed to live in "Israel"? So if you had/have a cousin that shared your Jewish grandma and grandpa, but their other parent was Black, that cousin wouldn’t be able to go to Israel with you? LionLez is run by people of color. For it to be a safe space for people of color, Zionists (all of whom are white supremacists) are not invited. Ever.
Germany, the government who recently orchestrated the Holocaust and is still anti-semitic to this day, supports Israel. Have you thought about why? Could it be that if Jewish people have a new enemy (the Palestinians), Germans might no longer be held responsible for reparations to Jewish people? Could it be that Israel supports both their white supremacist agenda of ethnic cleansing of brown people AND their anti-semitic agenda of making Jewish people look bad?
Britain and the US have admitted to manipulating white Jews' trauma to get a foothold in the Middle East for political and economic gain.
Hamas only exists because of Zionists' cruelty. Zionists have taken Palestinian hostages for 75 years, so Hamas took hostages for a prisoner exchange to get their family members back. They fought back and killed a handful of people after a 75-year ongoing genocide that's killed hundreds of thousands. This is not a war. "Israel" is the sole aggressor. Israelites are the Nazis.
Every religion has religious extremists. Christian religious extremists are called fundamentalists. Muslim religious extremists are called al qaeda. Jewish religious extremists are called Israelis and Zionists.
You and your white supremacy are also not invited.
STOP THE GENOCIDE! FREE PALESTINE! FUCK ISRAEL,
Lizzy George-Griffin
The Holocaust was not special, everyone. Israel is Al Qaeda. Jews are Nazis. I just learned so much, you know? What an education I just received.
Apologies to all that I felt the need to print that letter in full, and mazel tov if you made it all the way through. I needed to print that in full for a few reasons. First off: how are we educating our children, and why are they incapable of writing a letter? Second: “thempastyselves”? I am Ashkenazi as they come and having lived in Los Angeles working on my tan for nine years, I resent that. Third: When I was at university, this type of holier-than-thou antisemitic rhetoric was often used, but it was lacking the fascist confidence and bravado of this generation. How are we this far gone? Fourth: I wanted you all to see who Lizzy is, because Lizzy is not alone. And hey Lizzy, founder and CEO of Lezbollah (you’re welcome for this). Girl, you’re named so you can receive an education in the Holocaust, Israel and Jewish history. Feel free to reach out. I’m being generous.
The question I received this morning – and often receive – was: what can we do about this? I have worked in this specific space now for three years, helping students all over America on campus. Our students are the first line of defense against this insanity. My response is three-fold:
1: Tell them to fuck off, but don’t engage further. Abusers want attention. The more you give them, the more they crave.
2: Disengage, and empower yourselves to start your own queer/feminist/whatever-it-is night, where everyone is welcome. Be better than them. Put on better parties, with better movies, and tastier snacks.
3: Expose, name, shame, punish. If the on-campus paper won’t take the story, go bigger. I have connections to mainstream media. Hit me up.
And on this third point. Don’t be scared to name all of their names. We want to know who the people are who don’t value our humanity. They’ve spent too long trying to tear down our good names for simply standing up for ourselves. And our names are all we have.
The displays on college campuses during the past 17 days have been dire. Tonight I caught this on Twitter from George Washington University in DC, who have a pretty good track record in recent years of antisemitic incidents.
Glory to our martyrs? So we have fundamentalist Islam projected onto the sides of Western universities? Where are the adults? Who is in charge? I only have two hands to throw up in the air but I wish I had more?!
Further to this, in the video below is a display of cowardice at another American university building, where students are ripping the posters of hostages held in Gaza from the common areas. They seem to think they’re participating in an act of dEcOloNiZaTion. One delightful Jewish student was caught on camera, participating in this fad; one that has taken over the entire world for the past few weeks.
“Dude, you literally know I’m Jewish.” I’m embarrassed for her. Who are her parents?
Some of the hostage posters went up in my local area. I saw them one morning and wondered if they’d be there come the afternoon. They had been taken down within a matter of hours. This defacing and ripping down of posters showing the faces of victim hostages from October 7th is one of the most demonic, barbaric, disgusting and shameful acts of “resistance” I have ever witnessed. And it’s global. Below is more footage from London last night. Note: most of the videos of protestors engaging in this vandalism around the world are women. Women ripping down posters of children, young girls and the elderly, just so that Hamas terrorists can pick them. Gross.
Look at these brave soldiers of liberation. Aka scum of the earth.
Anyway, Hollywood is fighting back. Last night, an eye-watering list of celebrities signed a letter demanding release of the hostages. I don’t know who the plebs in these videos above are, but those who will continue to post pictures of the innocent civilians we seek to have returned to their families include: Madonna, Gal Gadot, Aaron Sorkin, Ben Stiller, Amy Schumer, Kirsten Dunst, Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel, Bradley Cooper, Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Goldblum, Sacha Baron Cohen, Jack Black, James Brolin, Judd Apatow, Jon Hamm, Katy Perry, Laura Dern, Lana Del Rey, Olivia Wilde, Stephen Fry, Rosie O’Donnell, Mila Kunis, Will Ferrell, Chelsea Handler, Brooke frickin’ Shields, to name but a few. You’re probably more accustomed to seeing these people on your screens. They don’t believe in ripping down posters. They want to put more of them up. Here is a LINK to the full list of amazing names of support.
So ya. Keep ripping the posters down, losers.
Yesterday we saw newly freed hostage Yocheved Lifschitz, 85, speak to the press, her voice barely able to rise above a whisper. She is wheelchair-bound and recalled how Hamas terrorists kidnapped her on the back of a motorcycle: “I was taken, with my legs on one side and my head on the other.” She was beaten with sticks and forced to walk through fields before reaching the tunnels beneath Gaza. In an underground hall she was kept with around 25 other hostages. Her husband Oded, 83, is still there.
Yesterday too, 100+ journalists were shown footage of the October 7th massacre. There are images of these reporters being actively traumatized in a theatre room. Don’t look away now.
I have attempted to cull the gruesome details for these posts, given in many cases I am preaching to the choir, and we have all read and watched so many unthinkable and unforgettable things by this point. There is however one thing I will mention. And that is the audio of a phone call from one exhilarated Hamas terrorist who called his parents to brag about how he had murdered ten Jews. He made the phonecall from the cell phone of an Israeli who he had just murdered. Ten Jews. Like we were rats.
So let’s just be clear. When Hamas is begging the Western world to interfere and stop Israel from proceeding with its ground invasion in Gaza, pleading for a ceasefire, let’s think on a few things. 1/ The above on-campus terrorism as a result of a collective addiction to mind-numbing social justice campaigning, in which Hamas-loving students are now free to hunt down “friends of Jews/Zionists” in America’s free-thinking institutions, regardless of whether the invasion goes ahead or not. 2/ The removal of posters of hostages, which is Holocaust denial happening before our very eyes, and what that means for the erasure of the events of October 7th worldwide, and the future security of Jewish people both in the Diaspora and in Israel itself. 3/ The clear non-trustworthiness of an organization like Hamas who could release all hostages today and surrender unconditionally for this all to go away, but refuse to do so, instead prolonging this process in order to generate as much antisemitic sentiment worldwide as possible in their current moment under the spotlight. No, a ceasefire doesn’t sound wise.
It’s the academic betrayal that I find so relentlessly vile. Today 1700 sociology professors signed an open letter in solidarity with Gaza. In the letter, they effectively give “context” for rape and murder. Sociology professors! Real Nazis.
A few years ago I coined a word “Misojewny”: it’s a specific brand of misogyny exclusive to Jews, and apparently feminists are employing it. At the moment supposed feminists justify rape, sexual assault and violence against women and girls committed by terrorists (ie Hamas) against Israeli and Jewish women, by claiming that Palestinians are in an abusive relationship with Israel. "Mutual abuse is a myth" they say, effectively arguing that Hamas justifiably brutalized Jewish women. Well I have news for you. You can’t apply intimate partner violence dynamics to war, or to terrorism. The evidence shows - and it is extensive - that the victims of October 7th were – and I apologize for the grimness of this detail – so violently raped that their pelvises broke. These “intellectual” arguments are so obscene. I don’t have words for how perverse they are. They also do undue damage to genuine victims of IPV, who need real advocacy, at a time when everyone would apparently rather just beat Jews to a pulp (sorry, I meant Israelis!) instead of doing their actual jobs. But oh no. Proliferating antisemitism around the world by employing every cause, idea, theory, or slogan imaginable is the priority. And it’s working. In America there is a reported 10000% increase in antisemitic incidents in some areas. Excellent humanitarian work everyone.
Some more idiots:
I’ll leave off tonight with my dear friend Rachel Riley, a courageous British Jew, who has been in the fight forever and never relents. Rachel ripped the BBC a new one this evening. Tonight Rachel’s my hero.
Again, stay sane, friends. Stay sane.
I don’t know how you are finding the strength to write. But please keep writing
BTW, my mom was in Israel to welcome the Ethiopian Jews. Fuck those lezbollah cunts.
