I just read the names of the victims of the antisemitic channukah attack today.
May they be blessed and their families stand strong. And the injured recover.
Three of the shot ones have the the same jewish name as my birthname...

I'm so sick of other leftist telling Jews that standing in solidarity with other Jews being killed around the globe (especially in Israel) is making them zionist genocide supporters or even legitimate targets.
As if the dead are all "zionists who coincidentally are also jews" thus it was our (immoral) free choice to care.

I know there have been terrible things done in Gaza. And that some people sadly condone or support them. But most worldwide who got killed since Oct 7th didn't. Still the freepalestine movement rarely condemns these attacks or even justifies them.
They don't clearly give/withdraw their support between random jews and pro israel jews killed. But they say we don't have the right to "make" the latter scenario about us

We Jews can't even practice a fucking holiday about light and joy and celebration in peace. Fuck this shit.

When autocracy takes hold in a country, everything goes on as before—police go on policing, landlords go on collecting rent, people go on showing up to work. The transition takes place so smoothly because all the elements necessary to fascism were present under democracy.

People imagine fascism as the opposite of democratic governance. In fact, it employs the same police, courts, property rights, patriotic mythology, and habits of obedience as state democracy. Wherever there is a powerful state with a monopoly on violence, fascism is only an election away.

This is why resistance to authoritarianism must take place at all times, not simply when an army is invading under swastika flags. We must never conflate the smooth functioning of the state with freedom itself. Assuming that the "rule of law" is identical with self-determination gives aspiring despots a free hand.
