Zionism is the belief that Jews have a right to exist safely in our homeland - Israel - to self-determination, and to defend ourselves. Put simply, it’s an indigenous rights movement.

Zionism is literally the right of return for the Jewish people in our ancestral homeland, Israel. And it’s one of the most successful examples of DEcolonization in history.

Zionism IS Land Back.

Jews are indigenous to Judea — the same land that today makes up the heart of modern-day Israel.

Our story didn’t begin with this modern state or a political movement or in 1948.

It began thousands of years ago. In the Judean hills, the temples we built, with the holidays we still celebrate, the Hebrew language, and in the unbroken chain of Jewish peoplehood that survived every attempt to erase us.

In short, Indigeneity is when a people whose ancestral, cultural, religious and/ or spiritual roots are native and unique to a specific land, and who have had a continuous presence and identity tied to that land long before modern states or outside settlers arrived.

This is 1000% true for Jews.

Our Jewish identity is rooted in this very land - Israel.

We have been here for 3000+ years.
Our prophets walked here.
Our ancestors farmed here.
Our spiritual, cultural, and historical DNA is tied to this soil.
And our future is here, in Eretz Israel.

Just because you hear something more often doesn’t make it trues.

Arab Palestinians are not indigenous to this land. Do they have a right to live here? Yes, due to them having longstanding presence in the land, but that is not the same as being indigenous to the land, which they are not.

Don’t believe me?

Look it up on reliable resources or shut up.

Because if not us, who?!?

Never again is now. And unfortunately, we need to be the ones to ensure it, because we have seen that too many people are willing to turn a blind eye to the insanely concerning worldwide rise in Jew hate (antisemitism).

You aren’t “woke” or “progressive” if you are an antizionist Jew. You’re a lost sheep and a massive traitor. And you’re dumb because you genuinely think racists will care about your views and take time to find out before assaulting you, or worse? … delusional, bro.

I refuse to look the other way and I refuse to be silent.

Are you with me?

Picking up and moving to a different place is always hard. Especially when moving almost 6000 miles away from everything you know and most people you love.

I have dreamed about moving to Israel and starting a life here since I was 20 years old, when I first came Israel on birthright.

And it’s still my dream.

But making this dream a reality is a lot harder than I expected.

I thought because I already have friends and family here that I’d be all set.

Boy was I wrong.

The feelings of loneliness are what I struggle with most. The war, sirens, and rockets were oddly the least of my concerns.

Not having a big community yet, being single, and not really knowing where I belong or where I fit in… it’s rough.

Not speaking the language also makes things harder. And while you do not need to speak Hebrew to survive in Tel Aviv, I highly recommend learning because Hebrew is a huge part of the culture, and without it, you absolutely miss out on certain aspects of life.

I’m struggling and I still choose this.
I still choose to live in my homeland, and to make Aliyah and formally become Israeli (*I’m on the last step of the process).

Fulfilling dreams isn’t always easy. But I have trust that it will be so worth it and that this will be one of the best decisions of my life. It just might take longer than I hoped, as well as some serious adjusting.

Sooo, if you’re wanting to make Aliyah but are scared…. I get it. And I won’t lie to you - it will be hard. It will challenge you and it will push your limits. But can you do it? Can you survive it? …Absolutely.

Don’t let fear hold you back like I have for 15 years.

Yalla! We’re waiting for you.

Ya, so the UN has an antisemitism problem.

And the information is publicly available to you so if you don’t believe me, do your own research.

And yes, when a person or organization disproportionately targets Israel — the one Jewish country in the world compared to literally every other country…. That is absolutely an example of antisemitism - Jew hatred.

The UN is a fu***ng sham and should be dismantled, as it is not reliable, accurate, fair, effective, helpful, informed and a lot of other things.

Why are the people who wave the flags of terrorist groups the same ones who wave the Palestinian flag???

Have you genuinely not realized how the “pro-Palestinian” movement has nothing to do with helping Palestinians and has everything to do with hating Israel and Jews and poisoning young minds to also hate Israel and Jews?

They are not pro-Palestine. These people are literally pro-terror and they show you and tell you but you choose to not look or listen.

Wake the f**k up.

There is no place for terrorism in our society if you value safety.

And if you are one of this psychos who wave the flag of literal terrorist groups… bro, go join your heroes and leave the rest of us to our sane and non-murderous ways.

Tootles.

Safe travels!

Antisemitism - hatred against Jewish people - comes in many shapes, sizes, and forms.

All forms of antisemitism = racism.

Maybe one day you’ll listen to us and learn rather than continuously defending your racism against the Jewish people? Unlikely, I know.

Don’t be racist.
Toward anyone.
Including Jews.

Intention: to illustrate the level of hypocrisy of the “pro-Palestinian” movement: where they chant about freeing Palestine (from Hamas and the PA), but want Jews and Zionists killed and Israel destroyed.

Them: “Human rights for all”
Also them: “just not for Jews.”

Them: “children deserve safety!”
Also them: “ but the brutal murder of Jewish and Israeli kids is justified resistance.”

“Human rights activists” my ass. 🤦‍♀️

More like antisemitic, Hamas-loving, whack jobs.

Am yisrael chai and free Palestine from Hamas and the PA.

It is not acceptable.

And being Jewish and Zionist does not give you a free pass to spew hate and antisemitic rhetoric. In fact, being Jewish and Zionist are two big reasons to not be an antisemitic as***le.

If you are anti-Ashkenazi, anti-Sephardi, anti-Mizrahi, you are antisemitic, and I think it’s gross. Not to mention dangerous, antisemitic, and is something I completely do not agree with or respect.

It’s a no for me, dawg.

Also, to call our own people c***s and other rude names, or to body shame, or to be anti-Ashkenazi (or anti any Jew), and throw a temper tantrum because you disagree with a comment someone made is absolutely ridiculous. Grow up.

It’s despicable and beyond harmful to our community… we are supposed to be a team. Am ehad, remember?

I won’t tolerate it and I won’t look the other way. And I’ll likely call it out because I think if we expect people to learn and do better, we have to hold each other accountable.

Check your damn selves and maybe BEFORE you leave a hateful comment on a fellow Zionist Jewish persons post, consider asking yourself: “is this necessary,” “is this comment effective,” and “am I adding anything of value to the conversation.” Oh ya - and maybe also “is this antisemitic?”

Being anti-Ashkenazi isn’t a hot little trend… it’s internalized hate (internalized antisemitism).

Ashkenazi Jews aren’t your punchline.

We are part of the same people… the Jewish people.

Jewish is Jewish.

Ashkenazi Jews are also bad ass — we are the descendants of Jews - who originate from Judea but were forced into the diaspora in Central and Eastern Europe due to exile, discrimination, and hate.

We survived through exile, pogroms, genocide, and every attempt to erase us.

We built communities, families, wrote prayers, and created our own language — Yiddish — to keep our stories, humour, culture, religion, and spirit alive.

We are survivors.

There is nothing shameful about being Ashkenazi. In fact, I’m proud of it.

So, please cool it with the Ashki-bashing.

We are one nation, one people — עם אחד - am ehad.

Am yisrael chai! And stop being an as***le.
