I literally can't stay here I'm losing my fucking mind. DM if you want, maybe I'll reach out if I feel like it. Other than that, consider me gone.
רגע אז כל החרא הזה היה מהיירוטים של טילים בליסטיים?? זה עדיין לא הכטב"מים???
ועוד יש טילי שיוט בדרך??
השקיעו בנו הנבלות.
רק רבע לשתיים הקדימו אני רואה
אני לא מפחדת מההתקפה האיראנית כמו שאני מפחדת להפסיד משהו חשוב.
My fomo is too strong.
מחכה למתקפה של איראן כדי לדעת אם כדאי לעשות שבת אצל משפחה נטולת ממ"ד
מחכה לכטב"מים שיצאו מאיראן
מחכה למתקפה של איראן כדי לדעת אם כדאי לעשות שבת אצל משפחה נטולת ממ"ד
יכולתי לכתוב מגילות על מה שאני מרגישה שישה חודשים אל תוך המלחמה. חצי שנה לטבח של השבעה באוקטובר.
אבל גם אני עייפתי. פשוט תחזירו את החטופים.
Six months have irreversibly altered so many of our lives.
Six months since innocent Israelis faced brutal attacks, their lives cut short or irrevocably changed through acts of terror, rape and/or abduction.
Six months that have served as a harrowing reminder of the depths of hatred faced by Jews; the persistent shadow that looms large, regardless of time or progress.
Six months that have witnessed the disintegration of friendships, as ideological chasms widened, revealing the unsettling alliances between extremists on both ends of the political spectrum. Wokeism and terror, unlikely bedfellows.
Six months of witnessing an alarming medical chorus amplify Hamas’ narratives, echoing through the halls of social media, academic circles, and street protests, decimating any lines between advocacy and propaganda.
Six months of coming to understand how doctors joined the Nazi party in droves.
Six months of the war that Israel didn’t ask for.
Six months of the world forgetting to put pressure on Hamas to return the hostages, lay down their weapons, and END. THIS. WAR.
The people of Catalonia seeing how easy the Spanish government recognizes the "independence" of terrorists thousands of miles away while their desire for an independent state is being crushed constantly:
מרגיש לי שלא ראיתי עדיין מספיק וריאציות של שניצל
כאילו שניצל זה לא מאכל ישראלי במקור שלו אבל הוא כל כך אינטגרלי למטבח שלנו שהוא כבר נהיה מאכל לאומי
יש כל כך הרבה אופציות לדבר הזה
שניצל בחלה
שניצל תירס
שניצל א
שניצלונים
שניצל כשלפ
שניצל עם ספגטי
שניצל מאמא עוף
סתם שניצל
שניצל שניצל שניצל שניצל שניצל שניצל שניצל
קיצר תציעו עוד מנות שניצלים לפני שאני עושה את זה בעצמי
שניצל בבגט אהבת חיי!!!!!
אבל חוץ מזה, השאלה היא מה נכנס בקטגוריה של שניצלים. כאילו רק הבשר השטוח/מרודד, יעני כתיתה, או שכל נתח עם פירורי לחם נחשב, כמו נגיסי עוף.
נקודה לדיון.
Sometimes I see the most fucked up takes here and I know, I just know, it was by a 20 something years old they/them tiktok user with a dni list longer than it should be and a weird sexual identity that requires urban dictionary to decipher.
Like go outside for real. Change your sheets and go bask in the sweet vitamin D.
I have thoughts in regards to That Photo of Shani Louk receiving an award.
But first, I'd like to address something I've seen in our community about how the situation has been handled.
Many people I've seen have been sharing their anger and pain in regards to the photo and the award, rightfully so. However, many of these people have shared those thoughts alongside That Photo. While I understand the intent of this, I'd like to just ask for people to not do that.
Do not distribute That Photo in any way, please.
Shani Louk's family has asked for that photo not to be shared. Her family has asked for her to be remembered for her life, not her death.
Instead, I encourage you to share your views alongside a photo of Shani from her life. Share her as she lived, not as she died.
Let Shani's memory be who she was, not what was done to her.
Now, I know there's little I can say about the photo and award that hadn't already been said. I'd like to talk about it anyway.
First and foremost, receiving an award for photographing a woman being subjected to the worst a person can endure is disgusting. That award was given for taking a picture of a woman who has been raped and killed, and of her body continuing to be violated and paraded around. Not for protecting her, not for intervening, not for doing anything to help anyone.
Additionally, as I mentioned before, Shani's family has asked for that photo not to be spread around, and the resurgence in publicity that this photo is getting as a result is a direct blow to the family's wishes.
In that photo, for the purpose of that photo, Shani is used as little more than a prop. It is dehumanizing and violating. It is beyond that, but I cannot even come up with words to articulate how horrible it is.
I'm sure we've all heard the phrase, "people love dead Jews" at this point. This photo receiving a major award is simply confirmation of this. This photo, a photo of a dead Jewish woman, receiving such a highly esteemed award, proves this. I am sick to my stomach just writing about it.
There is nothing about that photo that would merit an award and it tramples upon Shani's memory and dehumanizes her even further than she already has been.
In protest of that award, I encourage you to share photos of her that aren't of her lowest moment.
Share photos of her life, share photos of her art. Do not share photos of her death.
Here are some photos I am choosing to share:
You can find these photos online, there's a whole Instagram account dedicated to sharing photos of her life. The first and last photos are from an article about her art being put up in an exhibition. These photos are out there, just find and share them please.
May her memory be a blessing and may it be protected from further desecration.
I would also like to add that this horrible photo, and other videos of that event, were the first thing I think most Israelis saw of the massacre. It circled around the web for hours that day, and for people like me it literally was the first evident of what had happened when news channels still tried to gather information.
Everyone knew Shani's name and face that awful morning. Everyone knew what was done to her.
For a while, Shani was the most famous person in Israel, maybe even the world. She became a symbol in the most tragic and horrible of ways.
So to me, that photo is more than "journalism" or whatever excuse was given by the organization that gives out these awards.
It's just fucking disgusting.
Why does Tumblr recommend I follow a blog that has "death to all Israelis" as their most popular post?
And why is their icon one of the most wholesome characters in a fandom I was active in few years back?
Like how can you mentally go from "Jews need to die!!!!" to "lol look at this cute puppy being all silly uwu" I mean what the fuck is wrong with you?
אני חושבת שיותר חשוב לשדר את ההפגנות שיש הערב בטלוויזיה מאשר......
מאסטר שף - סערת הלימון
שנות התשעים - הסוד של גידי
והראיון שיש עם צרת ההסברה לשעבר (למרות שהרגע עדכנו שבסוף הראיון איתה יעברו לשדר את מה שקורה בתל אביב)
על ערוץ 14 אני בכלל לא רוצה לדבר.
Wow, so you're an anti Zionists Jew? You're such a brave and unique individual! Please tell me more!
