recently, i’ve been tracing the origin of the blood libel smear against israel— this will be one of the main things i cover in my directed reading/senior project, but it dates back to at least the 1990s. here, here, here, and here are examples from that period. this claim has shifted from a conspiracy touted by extremist fringe academics to being assimilated into mainstream discourse.

keywords used in these texts and those like it revolve around rededicating/redefining/reforming the definition of a genocide, specifically with regard to what are touted as unprecedented human rights violations by israel. holocaust inversion and the sense of almost parental disappointment that we jews did not “learn” anything from it abound.

i keep seeing the same names and circular arguments pop up, namely illan pappé and edward said, among others. pappé, in his own words, does not believe that historical truth exists, and feels thusly entitled to revise and completely rewrite historical narratives as he sees fit.

words like incremental, gradual, silent, and hidden have been evoked to accuse israel of genocidal intent for upwards of thirty years. these texts vehemently accuse israel of inhuman cruelty and exacting violence to the point of genocide— how can this narrative be sustained for decades? how is it possible that a nation regularly vilified for its military strength and capabilities would be so ham-fisted as to be unsuccessfully committing a “silent” genocide for decades?

these arguments do not make any sense and have not made any sense for the 30+ years they have been circulating.

In a memo to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem regarding tribal members recently detained by ICE, Frank Star Comes Out, president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, said:

“This is a treaty violation. Treaties are not optional. Sovereignty is not conditional. Our citizens are not negotiable.”

He added:

“The irony is not lost on us.”

Just saw someone refer to a wider bridge as "Israeli pinkwashing"

HELLO???

ITS A JEWISH FOUNDATION FOR HELPING QUEER PEOPLE

I hate people

Don't you know that just existing as Jews is Israeli propaganda.

And like as much as say that with sarcasm for many goyim that is not a sarcastic statement, but rather a matter of fact. That is just something that is just factual and obvious statement that can be proven.

Which is exhausting, disgusting, and also not new.

That our mere existence is some propaganda, is the very proof of the evil is a really old antisemitic tactic.

This is just the new "spin" on it.

Not surprised at all

Anyone who's been paying attention has already been saying it but you'll hear it again, it's becoming more and more of a problem that unnamed and completely unaccountable staffers have the degree of sway they do in politics and face zero consequences for alienating candidates and voters alike.

The person who asked this is Dana Remus, former White House Counsel, someone who is experienced enough to know fucking better. In 2026, Cody Balmer lit Josh Shapiro's residence on fire, DURING PASSOVER with his family inside.

Why did Dana Remus "Have to Ask"? I like Harris. I do. But her staffing even in the 2020 primary was EGREGIOUSLY Bad, and her and Biden's and faults extend to naivete about their staffs who said lots of nice things and then turned around and acted like they were doing Ivy League Admissions in the 20s-50s where Jewish students were concerned and left HUGE blind spots in terms of what actually motivates voters. Or what message they were sending to a party base of Black and Jewish voters largely taken for granted.

Honestly this where you start fucking firing anyone who like, DIDNT go to a state school and who ONLY worked at nonprofits or some shit. The 5% of "Dems" who make it to staffer levels are so racist and radically out of touch with the party base they are a liability.

This is the same shit the Republicans do with Jews. The exact same shit. They just message it differently.

Did any member of a Democratic presidential campaign staff ask Joe Biden, only our SECOND Catholic president if he was in league with the plots and perils of Popery? Do we want Democrats to apply the same scrutiny to Representative Omar, given her own history of Jew-Hatred and possible foreign propaganda connections? Is this something where Democratic politicians ask everyone and hold them to the exact same standards, or is there a carve-out for Jews? Why is there a carve out for Jews? Behold, a sampling of perfectly normal reactions:

Should a fucking Harvard-educated former WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL know fucking better?

that post about negotiation with hoas by threatening to set up a ham radio tower bc the fcc would back you up will not work at all even slightly but i will say that the blood feud between hoas and ham radio ppl is real & eternal. like if you want to get around hoa rules a ham radio person will probably have ideas

once again thinking about this guys “birdhouse” bc his hoa banned antennas but not “birdhouses”

One time I was helping a ham radio guy with his email and mentioned how I wanted to get into ham radio, but couldn’t because I lived in an apartment. That guy immediately rattled off like, five different ways I could set up a radio antenna inside my apartment, and seven different ways I could hide/disguise the antenna and still get a decent radio signal. Ham radio enthusiasts are a hybrid between boy scouts and wizards and I love them they play an important role in our ecosystem

I thought the pic was some kind of radio antenna and was related to the ham radio thing.

And I was thinking to myself I bet that the bird people and garden people would join the ham radio people in an alliance against the hoa.

and then I saw it was in fact a bird house.

if the hoa was about making sure that I don't know the potholes got fixed, streets got plowed in a timely manner, children could play and cross streets safely and like that kind of thing, you know just general up keep I think most people would cool with them.

but why does it have to be about policing the residents and how their homes look.

I think the fall of the clerical fascist regime in Iran would be good in and of itself but I really hope it won’t end up with the monarchy being restored. Imagine risking your life against one of the most oppressive states currently only for some unemployed zionist from Maryland and his comprador bourgeois buddies to take over

Hey so, as an Iranian in the diaspora who has family in Iran and keeps track of what's going on Iran, Reza Pahlavi is more than that for us. Protesters in Iran have been chanting his name overwhelmingly in the street and responded to his calls to action in large numbers. Chants include:

There is obviously diversity of thought, but he is the most popular opposition figure. In fact, he only wants to come in as the transitional leader, and as an advocate of secular democracy, believes that Iranians have the final say in what a post-IR Iran looks like. There's a sizable number of Iranians who aren't even pro-monarchy who still support him for this reason. (He's on camera saying that he wants people to have the right to vote against him.) More than that, he has a thorough, viable plan for helping Iran recover in all aspects (human rights, economy, environment) that has been made with a group of experts. He has been consistent in his views, and is far from being some unemployed person who just wants to benefit a small group of wealthy friends. And while you might find Israel controversial, there is a deep history and friendship between our people that spans millennia, and Jews and Israelis have been consistent allies of the Iranian people in their fight for freedom, which Iranians are grateful for. This all may be different than your views and expectations, but this is just a bit of the context and history for us Iranians.

Yes and I know all of that, thank you, this is precisely what got me worried in the first place. Again, I won’t take a guy who’s spent years spreading revisionist lies about the Pahlavi era at his word. Him hanging around global pro-trump far-right networks is reason enough to dislike him. If allying yourself with the genocidal fascist freaks from Israel is just “controversial” I don’t think there’s much to say really. If you’re willing to compromise with that I don’t think you’re in a position to lecture anyone about human rights.

Antisemitism has blinded you so much you are literally ignoring the voice of an Iranian on what Iranians want.

Look man you’re “converting to Judaism”, mistaking diasporoids with people living in the country, calling me an antisemite for opposing genocide and colonisation in Palestine. You should stick to fandom culture, which suits your embarrassingly limited intellectual and emotional capabilities better.

We could dig out some with better bonafides to call out your Jewhatred. But like who gives a fuck. Honestly. You hate Jews and that’s not news here. You drank the radical Islam koolaide and there’s no helping you there.

What I’m amazed! Bewildered! Staggered by? Bro what is Buck fucking Wild that you would use a slur ending in -iod in the year of the Christian Lord 2026 AD and claim to be progressive.

Do you call people of African descent n*gri0ds? Do you call people with learning disabilities m*ngoliods?

Seriously 😒 what makes you think it’s okay to speak about anyone that way? But especially to @shirzan140102 who was polite to you and shared that their family in Iran is in danger.

Do you talk like that in front of your mother? Your father?

Do you drop that term in front of the waitress at Olive Garden and the UPS guy, tell them that the d*asperiods aren’t entitled to speak on their culture?

How does that word over in mixed company? With your AAPI, Latino and Black friends?

Or…do you not have any?

And if you do? Please please film the next time you say that word in a negative context in a mixed group and put it on TikTok. I double dog dare you.

Congrats OP you have managed to shock and disgust me a brand new way.

Which is something I didn't think was possibly anymore when it came to antisemitism.

You also found way to be an asshole about everything going on with Iran that is somehow not new at all and is also shocking in a new way, to me at least, in your assholery.

Everything you written just proves how out of your depth you are on this, how little you know and understand, and how little you wish to be educated on anything.

Because you would rather stick to your false, but I guess comforting world view that has simplified rather complex situations and has turned nuance into all or nothing/black and white thinking.

And sets up a permission structure in which it is okay to ignore the lived experiences of those that are viewed as "bad" in this limiting view of the world and allows for you to feel superior and mighty via bullying and use of normally unacceptable terms i.e racist, abliest, etc. language as long as it is directed towards the "bad ones".

Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG thread from when I made these a year ago were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

Part 1: Long masc hairstyles + playing with fades

Tiny friends

It couldn't be that the UN and WHO at the highest levels held meetings to see how they could accuse Israel of famine and genocide on OCTOBER 8TH, hmmmmmmmmm? Meanwhile, Russia, North Korea, Iran, China, Afghanistan, Yemen, Sudan...........................

Trevor Dubois, an indigenous man who was in the hospital for chemo following a brain cancer diagnosis, was murdered by Saskatoon hospital security via. forceful restraint on Friday over a plastic lighter that police are publicly calling an “imitation firearm”. The cops are now trying to make it seem like Trevor had methamphetamines and drug paraphernalia in the hospital room with him after security murdered him to justify what took place.

here’s the saskatchewan health authority’s most recent statement regarding the incident. there’s a lot of talk but nothing of substance is being said. his family just wants answers and yet they haven’t even been told his time of death. his family also believes that the “imitation firearm” in question is a bright pink and green cigarette holder/lighter, but police refuse to release a photo of it.

according to those who knew him, he was a kind person who always went out of his way to help the less fortunate. he was seeking certification as a social worker and was heavily involved in his community. his family also says that he was against anything that has the potential to cause harm to people.

lastly, here is a quote from his brother, ryan (from this aptn article):

You ever see something innocuous, minding its own business on the clearance shelf at Michael’s and before you know it, it takes over your life for a few weeks?

So it was with this desktop greenhouse.

I took it home and after taking an appropriate time to “season” my idea in my mind (read: a month or two) I set to make my vision of a mini botanical garden a reality.

I started by removing the heavy glass panels and building a raised floor above the latch. I wanted to use the base as a foundation on the building.

I wrapped the foundation in plastic stone textured flooring (meant for Christmas villages) and built a pond at one end of the same. I then gave it a more realistic paint job and designed a rough layout for my plants and displays.

I also knew I wanted to make the ironwork significantly more intricate, but I wasn’t sure how just yet…

Up next - PLANTS! I went wild making all kinds of plants. Some were specific species and some were more conceptual.

I made several trees with polymer clay and moss, cacti out of beads and flocking, cattails out of raffia, hot glue and coffee grounds, and giant monstera leaves out of paper and wire.

This part should have taken me a long time, but it really came together fast. I loved finding ways to replicate natural shapes and patterns using bits of this and that.

I did make adjustments to my plans as I went like eliminating benches in favor of a simpler overall design.

Then I needed to fill my pond with water. For this I used resin. Lily pads were added to the top layer, and I wired in simple LED fairy lights. The batteries are kept in the box under the foundation.

In a weekend frenzy I added more plants, metal (paper) steps, new (plexi)glass windows, a roof, wrought-iron vines (paper again), doors that open, and a hose reel disguising the latch. Suddenly, a project I thought would take months was finished…

I love my desktop botanical garden. Right now it sits on a simple lazy Susan in my office. But I’d love to get it a proper display box to protect from dust.

Thank you for coming on this little journey with me. This piece packs a lot of joy into a tiny space. I always love building miniatures, and I’ll be doing more in the future I’m sure.

Handkerchief I. Kit Paulson. Glass.

STOP YOUR SCROLLING.

IT'S GLASS

Western leftists are so fucking stupid man. I saw that tweet about the map of the "Arab World" thats being put up in schools in NY or whatever and are people are not looking at that like, wait, this is an empire? Can you imagine the outrage if we hung up maps in classrooms labeled "the british empire" because that's exactly what that map of the "Arab world" is. Completely ignoring the non-arab Indigenous peoples of each country (Jews, Samaratins, Karaites, Persians, Assyrians, Sundanese, Amazigh, Nubians, Egyptians, Bedouin, Druze, I'm sure there are far more I can't remember off the top of my head) who have had their cultures devastated by Arab colonisation and Islamic imperialism.

Its like western leftists are so obsessed with racialising people that they see every major region of the world as a kind of monolithic culture. To western leftists, Middle East and North Africa = Arabs, so they must be indigenous. Jews so far are the only ones who have been able to muster the strength to reclaim their land and people have somehow decided this is priviledge, and that Jews must be white invaders, no matter how deeply ingrained Jerusalem and the surrounding areas are in Jewish culture, history, writings, art, religion, and so on, because of course Arabs are the indigenous people, its the middle east!

You have literally fallen for imperialist propaganda.

If they didn't use boats and most of the scholarship isn't in english and they don't at the very fucking least admit guilt years later, it can't POSSIBLY be imperialism. Just Sparkling Cultural Sharing. This is the "Everything Changed When The Fire Nation Attacked" website. The Fire Nation used BOATS. QED Libcucks.

Remember when the left was all about saying that liberals would ally with fascists against them, when it turns out that, thanks to antisemitism, they're allying with fascists against everyone?

I think these two should work with Musk (who they probably love now) and be on the first mission to mars.

And that whole "the liberals always ally with the fascists!" thing? Straight up Soviet propaganda. See the thing about the ideologies derived from Marx's writings is that Marx had a deterministic and very simplified view of history that allowed him to make predictions about how the future would play out. And the ideologies based on his writings, take his analysis of history and his predictions as truth, and see the truth of his views, and their own ideology, as confirmed or refuted by those prediction's coming true or failing to. but actually, when his predictions don't come to pass, because he did not actually have a crystal ball, instead of really seeing their ideologies as refuted, they come up with reasons why the prediction was right, and the works just got gummed up for some reason.

And one of those times was that according to the Soviet reading of Marx, the Weinmar Republic was supposed to have a glorious Communist revolution at exactly the moment it instead fell to the Nazis.

So Soviet academics after World War II came up with the justification that the German liberals used fascism to stop the revolution and therefore betrayed the revolution, and underneath their fake liberalism, they're really just fascists, and all they really care about is capitalistic greed and keeping the proletariat down. This had the lovely side effect of being very useful to paint the US led Cold War "free world" as all secretly fascist and just like Hitler.

The tragic irony is that the exact opposite happened from what the Soviet academics claimed. In the years leading up to the rise of the Nazis, the Marxist political associations had splintered into two groups, a liberal wing that was pro-democracy and sought electoral success in the new Weinmar government, and a wing that was still holding out for a glorious Communist revolution that would sweep all aside, and leave them in power. This split was deeply acrimonious, and the more radical wing especially saw the pro-liberal democracy wing as traitors and sellouts. They felt even angrier when that pro-liberal democracy wing actually did achieve quite a bit of electoral success. The revolutionary wing did not achieve electoral success, but they did have street gangs and a sense of grievance and moral purity, so who were the real winners?

But then came the depression and the resurgent Right, and a rise in street violence, and the pro-democracy faction found themselves alone, trying to hold the state together. And when pro-democracy politicians reached out to the Communists, the Communists laughed at them and refused to help. They didn't care about democracy, or preserving it, and these right wing movements, especially the Nazis, looked a lot like the proletarian revolution they were waiting for. So almost all of the communists either stood back or outright allied themselves with the Nazis, and even joined the party, in the hopes that they would guide this revolutionary movement into being the proper Communist revolution they were certain it would become.

And then once Hitler was firmly in power, he purged them from the ranks and had them arrested and/or killed, along with the liberals who tried to warn them.

And it's happening again. The same people who kept insisting that "scratch a liberal, find a fascist," and "the liberals always side with the fascists to betray the revolution", are cheerfully sitting back as the liberals try to hold a democratic government together, and falling all over themselves to welcome our new fascist overlords.

Reminder that ocasio-cortez and bernie sanders, the faces of the "progressive left" movement, launched their last speech tour (March 2025) with an interview with piker up there. He was their very first pick to speak to.

Apparently all it takes for a neonazi to pass as a leftist these days is to say he also hates Jews, cough, sorry, Zionists. Then the leftists welcome him with open arms and throw away any and all principles they claimed to stand for.

This is such a textbook case of Anti-Judaism. The whole nine yards of gentiles make up stories in order to criticise Judaism or Jeiwsh figures for stuff they themselves are guilty of.
