Oscar Wilde was antisemitic and he also a pedophile who preyed upon North African and Arab boys (engaged in “sex tourism” – and btw, sex tourism is still a thriving industry that white people and westerners use to exploit nonwestern people and nonwhite people, including underage people). Every time I see someone hype him up I feel sick.
Wow. I did not know this.

Teens hurl pole through synagogue window as Jews are praying
A group of teens launched a metal pole through a glass window of a Brooklyn synagogue as members of the congregation observed the Sabbath on Saturday evening, authorities said.
“People were praying inside at the time,” a man who was at the temple on Franklin Avenue near Myrtle Avenue in Williamsburg said on Sunday. “Everyone is upset already. So, this we don’t need this now.”
The man, who did not give his name, lives in the largely Hasidic apartment complex above the first-floor synagogue, where one of the lower-floor windows was shattered by the pole.
Police are looking for four boys around the age of 16 after a witness reported the attack at about 5:45 p.m. Saturday.
The youths ran south on Franklin Avenue after smashing the window, police said. Officials estimated that the property damage exceeded $250.
Congregants on Sunday covered up the gaping hole in the synagogue window with a piece of black plastic.
It’s the latest in a spate of anti-Semitic attacks in New York City. Police on Saturday also released footage of a vandal who scrawled swastikas on a Brooklyn Heights wall.
This is an act of terrorism. Period.
Teens hurl pole through synagogue window as Jews are praying
here’s a free no-effort thing goyim can do starting today: stop saying antisemitism is over. stop saying antisemitism is justified because of Israel. stop saying antisemitism is negligible because you believe the myth that most Jews are rich and successful. stop saying Jews are powerful or in control. stop laughing at antisemitism, even when your favorite TV shows do it. and stop hating us
It really sucks being a Jewish person in fandom spaces because even with things I like and enjoy there’s virulent antisemitism. Sometimes it’s huge and big and in your face and sometimes it’s something subtle, that people don’t even realize is antisemitic but causes actual harm.
And I wish people would actually listen when we talk about this stuff. A lot of goyim think they’re listening, but they’ll still do shit like make content for a blatantly antisemitic source, or make content of Jewish characters celebrating Christian holidays.
Sometimes it’s something as simple as refusing to accept that a character or race is an antisemitic caricature.
It fucking sucks, and you can reblog all the posts about supporting and protecting Jewish people all you want, but until you start calling that shit out, you can’t say you support us.
Goyim can and should reblog this.
I hate it when white women like to act like they’re not white when they claim to be Jewish. Ummm, you’re white, and being Jewish doesn’t hide your white privilege, it actually makes you more privilege. Being Jewish doesn’t make you a Women of Colour when most Jews are BEYOND white passing.
Jews in the United States and Europe are FAR overrepresented in banking, the media, the justice system, government, ect. Jews also played a huge role in the slave trade where most of the slave ships were Jewish owned. If anything being Jewish is a privilege which has historically and still is favoring their own and benefiting off the struggles of People of Colour which has aided white supremacy. If you’re jewish and want to aid people of colour in their struggles and rape, check your privilege and call out people you know for their racism, sexism, misogyny, ect.Sit. Your. Sorry. Ass. Down.
As a blonde, blue-eyed Jew with an Anglo last name living in metropolitan America I have undeniable white passing/white privilege. But my Jewish friends with dark curly hair, “swarthy” skin, and “Semitic” noses? My friends with last names like Weber and Katz and Rosen? They don’t pass in America, let alone in Europe (and I feel 100% confident in stating that you know jack-all about how Europeans view race, but spoiler alert: Jews definitely don’t make the white people shortlist there, light skinned or not). Ever notice how white supremacist groups always include Jews on their list of “enemies of the white race?” Or how the place where Jews are really overrepresented is in hate crime victim statistics? Millennia of rape and forced assimilation in diaspora may have lightened some of our skins (fun fact: many Jews, including many Ashkenazim, are people of color), but neither we nor white Gentiles have forgotten that our ethnicity and culture stem from the Levant.
It is absolutely mindblowing that you are using antisemitic falsehoods to deny that antisemitism exists. Far from controlling the slave trade, Jews were in fact barred by law from even entering many of the countries involved in the trade and were barred from or limited in engaging in international trade venues by several others. That is a canard heavily promoted in the black community by black antisemitic groups in the 90s, and has been utterly discredited by historians. And you’re going to pull out that antisemitic “Jews control the media, banks, and government!!!!!11!” bullshit, too? Really? Put down the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and read up on the “model minority” myth–and while you’re at it, take a look at how well financial success has shielded Jews from marginalization and violence in the past.
Were Jews often used post-Civil War as racial go-betweens and tools of white oppression against the black community? Yes, and it’s fucking shameful…but when those Jewish minstrel performers, shop owners, and slumlords went home in the evenings, it was to Jewish-only communities. Not because we chose to live there, but because white Gentiles didn’t accept us in their neighborhoods. We were “white” enough to do the jobs white people didn’t want to dirty their hands with, but not white enough to live with or go to social clubs with, God forbid. The entire reason colleges began requiring interviews and essays from admission applicants was to limit the number of Jews on campus, because we’re just so fucking privileged to be Jewish. The U.S. sent Jewish asylum-seekers and refugees fleeing the Holocaust back to Europe and refused to lift the immigration quota on Jews during WWII because it didn’t want any more white people.
Whiteness/white-passingness is a privilege (and yes, we Jews who have it need to be conscious of it). But Jewishness is NOT A PRIVILEGE, least of all “historically.” We look out for “our own” because Gentiles–white or otherwise–sure as fuck won’t.
Kiss my diasporic ass.
I’m Not Okay with Felicity Jones Playing Ruth Bader Ginsburg in Her New Biopic
…Imagine my reaction when I opened up the trailer for On the Basis of Sex last week and saw Felicity Jones grace the screen. British Felicity Jones, with her fine features and her awkward American accent, beautiful, perfectly manicured, and erasing any trace of Ginsburg’s roots.
…But I think what hurts more about watching Jones portray the first female, Jewish Supreme Court Justice is how little they physically look alike. Justice Ginsburg has strong, identifiably Ashkenazi Jewish features. She looks Jewish. Missing from Felicity Jones is any trace of RBG’s large Jewish nose. In its place is a delicate, slightly upturned nose. One that conforms more closely with White Western Christian standards of beauty. Frankly, the absence of RBG’s schnoz is bumming me out.
…This issue is more than skin deep. Judaism is a huge part of Justice Ginsburg’s identity now, but it also provides another dimension to her early career. While it’s definitely true that when RBG went to law school, it was uncommon for women to attend, and when she challenged legal precedent she was a young woman disrupting what has historically been a boys’ club, it was also unusual to be a Jew in these contexts at the time.
When Ruth Bader Ginsburg entered law school, many top universities still had “Jewish quotas.” Not many Jews were practicing law, and not many historically had done so. So it was not just that she was a woman disrupting these norms and defying conventions in the legal field, she was a Jewish woman in a professional field that did not have many Jews or women. She was a double anomaly. She is doubly impressive.
And yet, any trace of her Jewish identity — from her accent to her face — is erased in the casting of Felicity Jones in the role. This should be pissing people off. Prosthetic makeup is used all the time to transform actors into their roles in biopics. Prosthetics were used to make Nicole Kidman into Virginia Woolf in The Hours and Meryl Streep into Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady. So why is it missing here? Why are we allowing a key component of this icon’s identity to be erased? Why do we need a young Ruth Bader Ginsburg — who, it should be noted, was a total babe but really that’s beside the point — to be conventionally beautiful?
The way I see it, this is really problematic for two reasons. First of all, the irony of altering the appearance of a historic figure in order to make her more conventionally attractive in a movie about her combating sexual discrimination is almost too rich to put into words.
Second of all, representation is important.
…Ruth Bader Ginsburg grew up with identifiably Ashkenazi Jewish features at a time when it was not easy being Jewish in her professional field or in society in general. When RBG’s character is robbed of these features, the story loses something. We all lose something. Something important and integral to Ginsburg’s, and America’s, struggle.
And beyond the story, we lose something else. As a girl growing up with a big Jewish nose, I hated my nose because I thought that was what I was supposed to do. I thought my nose was actually incompatible with delicate femininity. How wonderful it would have been to have more examples of that in popular media, to know that it could be otherwise. And how wonderful it would be now to see the story of a young Ruth Bader Ginsburg: hard-headed, trail-blazing, beautiful, and Jewish.

when y’all post jewish conspiracy theory posts
you think no one can see the blood libel but you’d be wrong
you are boring and exactly like who you say you hate
““Anti-semitism is a primitive critique of the world, of capitalist modernity. The reason I regard it as being particularly dangerous for the left is precisely because anti-semitism has a pseudo-emancipatory dimension that other forms of racism rarely have”
Also this week in Goyim Be Goyin’, Teen Vogue has posted yet another antisemitic dog-whistle article (after last week’s “Is Justin Bieber Secretly Controlled By Lizard-People?”), only this time it’s far more insidious: blaming American Jews for police brutality against Black Americans… because Israel… because of course, somehow, Jews are the problem, not white goyishe cops literally in the KKK.
If you’re taking about Lincoln Anthony Blades opinion piece , I genuinely stopped reading when I saw he was essentially blaming Israel for the police brutality at Ferguson in 2014. His blatant ignoring of responses on twitter by implying they’re nothing more than people saying “"stick to make-up"“ was also infuriating.
Saying that Israel is to blame for police brutality against people of color (mainly Black Americans if we’re being honest) in the US isn’t a new form of blood libel, by the way. It’s a white supremacist conspiracy theory.
Oh and it was retweeted by JVP. I, for one, am shocked.
Antisemites in my experience are profoundly ignorant and at the same time incredibly sure of themselves. This combination makes it so that whenever anyone tries to correct them, no matter how well-meaning and polite they are, the antisemite rejects it because they already consider themselves as having all the answers.
So, in that sense, the following Twitter thread makes perfect sense:
