You’re lying on the sofa under a blanket, lights dimmed, watching your favourite TV show. Your cat is laid across you, sleeping but purring quietly. All is calm. All is good.

me: progressives should be more accepting of religious people.
conservative christians: i agree. american christians are severely persecuted by liberals.
conservative christians: i can’t even leave my house without fearing constant humiliation and persecution 😔 2 timothy 3:12
me: man, it sure is difficult to be a religious minority in america. for example, musl-
conservative christians: i know what you mean. not being allowed to turn gay people away from my restaurant basically makes me saint peter
Worldwide, withstanding that Christianity is the most populous religious group, Christians are the most persecuted religious group. Obviously, this is not so in the USA, but in some countries, including Islamic ones, Christians are regularly killed for their faith. This might give you some perspective on why American Christians think the way they do.
Trust me when I say that deep down that the vast majority of White Conservative Christians do not give two shits about Christians in the Middle East or around the world. They care about using the suffering of PoC Christians to justify their awful rhetoric, and would be willing to discard them without a second thought.
White Conservative Christians were pretty damn silent when ICE rounded up Chaldean Catholics to be deported right back into Iraq.
I didn’t even know? Then again I’m not conservative. And barely Christian. What’s a Chaldean?
A ethnic group of Iraq. They are mostly Catholic.
And like…. the whole “I didn’t know!!!!” is literally the entire point!!! The conservative Christian outrage machine literally doesn’t care abt non-“Western” Christians when it cant use them as an islamophobic prop. There’s a reason you didn’t hear about the Chaldean Christians and you prolly heard a fuck ton about the plight of poor oppressed Christian bakery owners being crushed under the thumb of the Gays. The fact that you didn’t know about it is not neutral.
I’m so fucking tired of goyim ignoring antisemitism. They ignore everything until something so extreme happens, like the recent shooting. How about you start caring about us BEFORE WE FUCKING DIE. Just fucking LISTEN for ONCE when we say we’re angry or scared or sad about the injustices we as a people have faced OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I don’t know one single Jewish person who hasnt been touched by antisemitism. I’ve been called a kike more times than I can count. I went to elementary school with a boy who told me he wished Hitler had won the war. I was shouted at and threatened by a stranger for wearing a Magen David. My grandpa has had to respond to bomb threats at our synagogue. My grandma had to switch roommates in college because her roommate was violently antisemitic. My fucking Jewish PRESCHOOL had to have ARMED GUARDS to keep people from fucking MURDERING PRESCHOOL AGED JEWISH CHILDREN. I thought all preschools had armed guards until I was like 12. Just fucking LISTEN when we say things. Here, I’ll give you a list of things you NEED to listen to us about.
Holocaust deniers are violent antisemites, no exceptions. They are dangerous and do not deserve a platform to speak.
Jewish people cannot be nazis, no matter how much you disagree with them. Ben Shapiro is a piece of transphobic racist shit, but he’s not and will never be a Nazi.
Trump and many people in his cabinet have repeatedly used antisemitic dog whistles, most recently calling himself a nationalist.
We. Are not. All. White. Stop being dicks to Jewish people of color.
And we’re not all ashkenazi!!! Google is your friend if you don’t know what that means.
Don’t do that “Nazi puncher” bullshit if you don’t actively uplift and defend Jewish people. Punching nazis is a great thing but you need to uplift and support jews at the same time.
Stop pinning Israeli war crimes on random Jewish people. And stop demanding we tell you our opinions on Israel before you treat us with basic human decency.
GOY IS NOT A SLUR
Judaism is an ETHNORELIGION. I am both religiously AND ethnically Jewish. It’s not that hard to understand.
