//antisemitism

All the antisemitism in the mcyt community has me thinking a lot recently. There’s so much veiled hatred towards Jewish people and it gets really tiring having no one in this community stick up for us. We aren’t j here for ur interactions and moral gold stars
So many people seem to hold the view that antisemitism doesn’t exist... it didn’t end with the Holocaust people just stopped caring about it. Everyday there’s terrible antisemitic events that I never see spoken about. Sure I can’t expect every issue to be spoken on but-
I live in one of the most Jewish areas of the UK and yet MY synagogue was defaced with Nazi symbols. So don’t tell me that it doesn’t exist anymore.
But also what happened on Holocaust Memorial Day this year was really disheartening. Not only did I see almost no recognition for the event but I saw people supporting a post made by a large insta account which promoted antisemitic propaganda and hatred
The mcyt community is where I come to escape these events and yet I only see my fellow Jewish people being attacked or cc’s making horrific jokes and no one caring. The example that bothers me the most is technoblade.
Technoblade made Holocaust and hitler jokes. Why would anyone think the systematic murder of 6 MILLION people is funny? And even if it was meant as “dark humour” dark humour is making fun of ones own trauma not someone else’s. But the fact these jokes are made so often by other-
Cc’s too? Do you really not see a problem here? It’s just so sad to see other Jewish people trying so hard to be heard and yet we have NO allies in this community. Like do I need to give you all a basic history lesson on WWII and the fallout of it on the Jewish pop.??
Also it seems like a lot of people were more upset about #kickdave then the tweets he made in the first place. I will not respect someone who doesn’t respect me. Calling him dave isn’t gonna hurt him. U know what does hurt? Jokes about 6 million of ur people dying :))
I also want to add some things in this community that bother me.+
PLEASE don’t bring up Palestine when a Jewish person is talking about antisemitism. I’m Ashkenazi I have no say in the Israeli government, and many Jewish people are against what they are doing to Palestinians. Using those issues to delegitimise antisemitism is so shitty
Also Judaism is an ethnoreligion! Not every Jewish Person is white please don’t just assume someone is white because they are Jewish! Sure Ashkenazi Jewish ppl are the majority but Sephardic and Mizrahi exist too! Judaism has a wide and beautiful culture.
This also summarises a lot of my views really well https://twitter.com/gngkenma/status/1387235500168302595
Basically what I’m saying is that the mcyt community has a lot of coded antisemitism which needs to be addressed, cc’s and stans alike. Please listen to ur Jewish moots and don’t just ignore us and our problems ! And also if u support techno ur a shitty person :)
