I haven’t reblogged any of it or looked into it myself (or believed any of it), but can you elaborate? Maybe, in case it comes up in convo (cause I have a friend I think who believes it or has mentioned it to me)? If that’s not too much to ask. (About Gal Gadot)

So, there’s this trend that happens in liberal/activist spaces, where the second gentiles find out you’re Jewish, they no longer trust you unless you immediately, completely denounce every aspect of Israel down to its very existence. 

Example: at UCLA, a Jewish woman named Rachel Beyda applied for the student council. They interrogated her about whether she would be able to be “objective” because she was Jewish. They literally asked her, “Given that you are a Jewish student and very active in the Jewish community, how do you see yourself being able to maintain an unbiased view?”

I have experienced this interrogation and distrust personally, in activist spaces at UCSC. At one point I even made a Facebook post about it because I was curious if it was just me and discovered that every other Jewish person I know at UCSC had also experienced something similar. Leftists do not welcome or trust Jews who have any qualms about disavowing Israel. 

To be clear: I’m NOT talking about acknowledging that the Israeli government is committing human rights violations against Palestinians. That should be obvious, and isn’t inherently antisemitic. What IS antisemitic is this trend that has been going on for years in liberal activist spaces, where the second a Jewish person is involved in literally anything, ie Existing While Jewish, gentiles HAVE to bring up Israel, and quiz us on it until they’re satisfied that we have completely denounced it, including its right to exist. And if we don’t denounce every aspect of it to their satisfaction, then obviously we must support the genocide of Palestinians and are cast out of activist spaces. 

That’s what’s going on with Gal Godot. The plot of Wonder Woman had NOTHING to do with Israel or Palestine but because she is Israeli, because she served in the Israeli Army (which by the way, is mandatory, and also she served as a goddamn fitness instructor) gentiles are pouring out of the woodwork to deem her “problematic.” And I’m fucking pissed. 

Gentiles are encouraged to reblog this, because I am TIRED of seeing this shit in supposedly liberal spaces. We Jews can’t be the only ones calling this out. That’s a catch-22, because our opinions of Israel and antisemitism are ‘’’untrustworthy’’’. 🙂

I just want to add on to this that, if anyone is saying Gal Gadot advocates killing babies (and yes, I have seen that on Tumblr reblogs), that is explicitly blood libel (yes, even if it comes from someone on the left), and I would really like to see goyim calling that out.

Guys, PLEASE pay attention to this. I’m seeing Jewish people report this more and more, and it is frightening. 

I think it’s even worse because, unlike earlier waves of anti-Semitism, which was common in highly insular conservative circles. it’s happening within the supposedly “diverse” multicultural left. When people who’ve established their image as open-minded to other races, POVs, cultures and religions start treading the well worn path of anti-Semitism, it starts slipping under the radar. 

It’s also harder to see when it’s being done by other oppressed groups. Not a lot of outrage in the gay community about the Jewish group tossed out of the Chicago Dyke March because the organizers thought the Star of David on their banner might offend people.

A pretty good amount of anti-Semitism shows up in Islamic groups, and it gets praised by leftist groups because they believe it shows support for Palestine. It’s either/or thinking, instead of both/and.

The idea that Jewish people are untrustworthy because of some sort of inborn divided loyalty, interrogating Jewish people about their loyalties, dividing them into “good” (those that readily denounce everything they’re told to in order to fit in) and “bad” (those that don’t denounce, or refuse to play ideological litmus tests), and penalizing the “bad” Jews…

This is how shit started almost 100 years ago, people. EXACTLY how it started. The “good Jew” was the one who assimilated perfectly into society, whose identity was subsumed, the “bad Jew” was the one who wanted to retain their Jewish identity and insisted their they could be both Jewish and a patriotic citizen of their country.

Giving “bad” Jews penalties, and encouraging the “good” Jews to lambast and guilt their brethren are what is starting to happen.

And for those that have gone ahead and made sure to denounce the “evils” of Israel in order to fit in, you should look at history and realize that the step after this is to remove the idea of the “good” Jew entirely, that all Jewish people are “irredeemable” in the ideological context in question, all are untrustworthy, and, thus, all should bear penalties. 

We all know how that one plays out. And for those of us Gentiles playing at home, you might want to take note that this mentality ALWAYS spreads. Jewish people walk point – they get hit first, and if we don’t come out and defend them, stop the advance right in its tracks, it’ll keep going.

Forget sending around the “punch a Nazi” shit. Speak up when you see this anti-Semitic shit pop up, call it what it is, and stop it dead. NO ONE deserves this. Ever.
