This Is Not Jewish

Today a clerk in town had me wanting to bang my head against the wall due to his anti-Semitic attitude.

He made a comment about trying to sell his truck and there was a man who quote, “wanted to Jew the price down.”

I told him saying that was entirely inappropriate thing to say and it was anti-Semitic.

He snarled at me that there wasn’t anything wrong with it, and as I am not Jewish, it shouldn’t matter or bother me.  It doesn’t matter what religion the man is or isn’t, it’s an entirely inappropriate thing to say!

Sometimes I really wonder about humanity in general.

This-Is-Not-Jewish: Gee, if there wasn’t anything wrong with it, why would the ethnoreligious status of his listener matter? Sigh. I never cease to marvel at antisemite “logic.”

clarinet-oswald asked: My family is not Jewish. My grandma, however, enjoy the Star of David on an aesthetic level and insists on keeping one in our window. I've explained that this is called appropriation and that it is offensive, but she doesn't give a shit. Advice?

If you’ve already told her why that’s problematic, sad to say, there’s probably little else that you can do. (Except steal the damn thing, I guess, but I would very highly not recommend that!) You can lead grandma to water, but you can’t make her drink.

moonshoesmegan asked: Hi (: Do you have any advice for an Ashkenazi Jew wanting to track her ancestry & get in touch with her lost culture? My mother's side of the family came over during the holocaust but I know very little b/c it was too painful to talk about, only stories here & there. It feels like something important is missing from my life. I have my family's records from when they came over, our old address/family business name & I know my Opa was in Dachau for a while shortly after Kristallnacht. Any advice?

There are some geneaology websites, such as Ancestry.com, which might have information of use to you. Unfortunately, I’m not the geneaology buff in my family, so I’m not much use on this!

Followers, any suggestions?

Rebloggable by request.

glacialfire asked: Oooh, a crappy pop song in place of a sassy gif. Hmm, slightly more creative, but nope. 2/10.

I thought that I should never see

An ask as brainless as a tree.

An ask entirely bereft

Of wit or substance, truth or heft;

An ask so factually unbased,

Historians have laid it waste;

An ask so asinine, in fact,

With song alone could I react.

But since you were so unimpressed,

This poem is to you addressed:

Though “poems are made by fools like me,”

At least I’m smarter than a tree.

totentanzlied-deactivated201305 asked: It's funny when kikes cry, isn't it?

Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss.
The sweat of your body covers me.
Can you my darling,
Can you picture this?

Dream if you can a courtyard,
An ocean of violets in bloom.
Animals strike curious poses.
They feel the heat,
The heat between me and you.

How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that’s so cold?
Maybe I’m just too demanding,
Maybe I’m just like my father, too bold.
Maybe you’re just like my mother:
She’s never satisfied.
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When kikes cry.

glacialfire asked: Before you spread any more blatant lies about Hitler/the Holocaust, I suggest you look at this: national-conservative(.)tumblr(.)com/post/44700997173

Fun fact: Alanis Morisette really wanted to use the line “it’s like a Holocaust denier telling you to check your facts,” but it didn’t fit the meter.

Alas.

fucking j4js have no understanding of the bible. Let’s look at the quote in context:

What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou thinkest of him? Yet Thou hast made him but little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet: Sheep and oxen, all of them, yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea; whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. - Psalms 8:5-9

1) I assume they think this is a reference to Jesus because of the use of “Son of Man,” apparently ignoring the fact that the phrase appears throughout the hebrew bible and clearly means normal, non-supernatural people. This is even more clear since the first part of the verse is clearly talking about people and the poetic style common throughout the hebrew bible, particularly the psalms, is to doubly repeat sentiments (aka “parallelism”). (This is actually a form borrowed from earlier Ugaritic poetry.)

2) But even if “son of man” meant jesus, this makes no sense. Why would the psalmist ask why god cares about him? Shouldn’t he care about his “only begotten son”?

3) Jesus’ big reward is that he can have all the animals he wants? If anything, this seems like a clear reference to humanity as discussed in Genesis 1:26: “And God said: ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.’”

4) “Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.” - Psalms 146:3

Today a guy on the bus was making fun of a girl that tried to commit suicide and saying how he wish she had died. I told him he was “heartless trash” and flipped him off. He saw my necklaces and said “you’re on the wrong bus bitch the crematorium is that way” I lost faith in humanity today :P

Ableism AND antisemitism. Wow. Fuck that guy.

Good on you for calling him out.
