Not Jewish but I get this a lot as a brown person.
I can go, “Ah yeah this racist thing happen” and some knuckle dragger goes, “No it didn’t. They would be breaking the law.”
Like okay?
It’s just gaslighting plain and simple.
Like we don’t remember what happened in school, in college or fucking last week.
Jewish, not brown, for what it’s worth, but it sounds like we may have had similar experiences here.
Friendly reminder that a lot of heinous stuff is now legal because the Supreme Court gutted the VRA on the grounds that racism isn’t real anymore.
The more I find out about other minorities, their struggles, issues and history, the more I realize that we have way more that unites us than divides us.
Having long chats with Szekler and Roma people helped open my eyes to the fact that discrimination is incredibly similar no matter who the target is. I don’t speak their native languages or fully understand the culture, but the history and treatment by the majority is very similar as a Jew.

Fucking Onion makes me exhale loudly in a public place once again!
Palestinian Man Reassured After Being Told “God Said Eye For An Eye”
Palestinian Man reassured after being told Israel are actually the good guys as he inhales freshly deployed white phosperous next to a leveled hospital.
Hippie Israeli farmer reassured while being raped to death.
IDF reassured that all hospitals and schools inside Gaza are in fact Hamas FOBs and are safe targets to be blown into rubble.
Doesn’t take away from my previous comment but good Lord, is that fact checked? I turned my back on their govt years ago (I love my Muslim brothers as much as my Jews) but jfc that’s a new low if you’re correct. I thought they were doing the opposite after the Biden visit. Can you link me to your source please?
Unfortunately, finding solid sources is becoming extraordinarily difficult as the ‘fog of war’ clears, things get retracted or edited. One of the reasons the IDF gave for striking places like schools or hospitals is that it was their belief Hamas was using it to store supplies or personnel but tracking that specific comment down in this flurry of articles is becoming… an ordeal.
I did however find articles that they are indeed striking schools but as of the moment it seems Hamas is going to be coming forward with evidence Israel hit the hospital as well.
It’s really hard to confirm anything right now so we have to wait. Israel is going to be invading on ground shortly which I’m sure will cause another round of mass confusion and finger pointing.
