Goyische leftists will be like "why am I getting recommended Nazi content. I'm not antisemitic im anti zionist"

Except they're pushing nazi rhetoric themselves.

ZOG aka zionist occupied government is a neo nazi dogwhistle. Nazis learnt YONKS ago that if they use dogwhistles instead of saying "jews" their content can fly under the radar. ZOG literally means "da joos control da government"

Every time you use a well known nazi dogwhistle and go "but I mean it in a leftist way not a nazi way", a neo nazi creams their pants. You cannot use a neo nazi dogwhistle in a leftist way, because its a neo nazi dogwhistle.

Like the whole point of a dogwhistle is, so the true meaning isn't immediately obvious. If you think neo nazis haven't already been all over "zionist" to use as a dogwhistle, then you are stupider than a neo nazi which is a hard thing to achieve.

My friend today said vegan mac and cheese seems treif. It's literally not. They said it's conceptually treif. The ingredients are flour, oil, nutritional yeast, water, turmeric, garlic, and paprika. All of which have hechsher. But my friend insists it's "spiritually harmful"

reminds me of that dude who wont put oat milk in oatmeal

You know I hadn’t made this exact connection at first but something in my gut told me that people comparing ice to the gestapo didn’t quite feel right. This comparison does fit a lot better.

Historically, slave catchers would tear up freedom papers held by freedmen in order to destroy the facade of legal protection they had. Similarly, ICE have been repeatedly documented confiscating people’s birth certificates, passports, visas, etc, and throwing them away. This white supremacist state will always eschew the fictive legal protections it claims to have once it gets the chance, and it always has

sorry im not giving into the cutting out sweet treats propaganda. life is hard enough

Can my Indigenous ass say the progressive christian impulse to no-true-scotsman their entire religion, appealing to "what jesus actually taught", *specifically* in a way that points to "modern" christianity as deviating from this, implying it used to be better, is completely fucking bonkers. You can't RETVRN your way out of genocide. Christianity has been about pillaging for the last 2000 years & if you sincerely want to change this I can respect that but be so fucking fr when you talk about how "modern christianity" isn't what jesus taught. Neither was the roman empire innit

I've said this before but it's all so....... "this isn't what jesus taught" is like, step 1 of recognizing the hypocrisy. But then nobody wants to keep thinking about it past that point. It's been lies justifying unfathomable violence this whole time

& if you want to play that game the christian bible also says to convert the entire world so. It's not looking great. The pillaging is kind of a central pillar of the ideology. Or did you just think the problem with christianity was homophobia, or some nebulous concept of racism that's simply "hate" and doesn't include robbing people of their cultures

"Why are all these white christians racist all of a sudden? :(" I have terrible news about how the last 2000 years have been going

How to recite Modeh Ani?

Question for religious Jews or anyone who knows! For art, I need to know what pose you recite Modeh Ani in as the character is chozer b'teshuva. I only found tutorials on the text etc but not the gestures/visuals. I'm raised secular, so I have no idea. What do you do with your hands? Are you sitting or lying down? Etc. If it matters, he's male. Thanks so much!

There isnt a pose

Technically, you are supposed to say it literally the first thing in the morning; when you become conscious that you are awake, so theoretically most people say it lying down

sprawled, face down into the bed

Why do you sleep face INTO your bed ?? are you trying to suffocate

;)

People feel extremely entitled to the Holocaust

I have a lot of issues with the way "Holocaust envy" as a term is used but it is absolutely fucking bizarre the way non-Jewish and non-Roma people want to center themselves in the Holocaust and act like anyone pointing out that Nazi ideology was centered on antisemitism at its core are like, gatekeeping??

I love having friends who reject diet culture. I love going out when everyone buys food and drinks that they enjoy. I love people who will pipe up and suggest we stop for a snack or grab a meal. I love ordering what I want and no one making comments other than how good it looks (and maybe asking to steal a bite off my plate). I love revelling in how full we are after a good meal and taking a break to appreciate how fortunate we are. I love sharing snack from our bags with one another. I love enjoying the pleasure of food and drinks and good company.

I appreciate that Jewish kosher snack food brands often tell you on the label if the product is kosher for Pesach or not, but they should also tell you what Bracha you should say on the product, because sometimes I really don't want to have to read through the ingredient list and manufacturing process to figure out if a quick snack is HaAdama, Mezonot, or SheHakol.

I think I also saw (through a video) that the Manischewitz food truck has a sign saying something like “buns are ha’motzi.” Loved that.

A few years ago, I was explaining to some non-Jewish friends why there are kosher rules specifically for milk. Not milk products, but just "milk".

"But it's just milk from a cow? Why would that be unkosher?" they asked.

"Well, it's simple but really disgusting. You see, the reason that kosher milk standards explicitly state that there needs to be a Jew present for every step of the process--from milking the cow to drinking the milk, ideally--is because of contamination fears."

"What kind of contamination fears?"

"The kind where Medieval Christians would milk pigs and try to sneak the sow's milk into cow's milk, just out of Jew-hating spite."

"..."

"Yeah. People would go to the trouble of milking a pig and wait for their chance to try to pour that milk into a bucket of cow's milk, just because they hated Jews so much that they wanted us to accidentally break kosher rules. So the kosher rules evolved because of that sort of environment of active spite."

In the last year, pretty much everyone who was involved in that conversation and who hasn't hopped onto the Jew-hating bandwagon themselves has admitted to me that at the time, they didn't believe it, not fully, and now they do.

Because, being blunt, that environment of active spite is in the process of returning after a seventy year absence.

So much of kashrut makes so much more load bearing sense when you consider a community having to survive but being unable to trust the authorities who process their food. If this didn't keep people alive over generations, it would've died out by now.

It's worth thinking about if we lose any of our safeguards over our food supply.

How is it hard to believe, when every vegetarian has a story about people trying to sneak meat?

With the FDA being what it is now (going down the toilet), I believe that we'll see a resurgence of food borne illnesses. We've already seen botulism in baby food, ffs. And since Jews follow incredibly strict laws, we're less likely to be affected. Not totally free, because we're obviously going to be affected by things like E. coli or Salmonella on produce. But we won't be affected by tainted meat and dairy as much.

And I think, unfortunately, this will further antisemitism. "Why aren't the Jews sick? They must be contaminating our food!"

Alberta, Canada, has already tried to pass a law banning halal and kosher school lunches. (So they're putting pork into all school lunches? I don't understand how they thought this would work.) It won't be long until someone tries to do that in the US, too.
