Being a Jewish person on the Left who is also part of a traditional Jewish community this week reminds me of much of my life as an #ActuallyAutistic person.
I’m trying to make myself clear, that I value all life. All lives are divine and valuable. It doesn’t excuse people for their violent behavior. It doesn’t excuse us to wish the other to be obliterated.
I’m screaming. Begging. Pleading. Crying.
From my comrades on the Left I beg you to see that Jewish people are being attacked all over the world now. We are scared to go outside. Not only in Israel. See our humanity.
From my Jewish brothers & sisters I beg that we can see the humanity of the Palestinian people and the desires of so many around the world for their wellbeing and freedom from oppression.
No one hears. No one wants to listen. Me and others like me are doubted. Gaslit. People tell us we are exaggerating. That we are wrong. That it’s all fake.
Just like trying to explain to neurotypicals the experience of being autistic.
It’s exhausting.
@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @mazeldon Conflating Zionism and Judaism is anti-Semitism.
@omegahaxors @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @mazeldon Rejecting Jews who refuse to disavow Zionism is also antisemitism.
@emilyk @theautisticcoach@neurodifferent.me @actuallyautistic @mazeldon No it fucking isn't. Nothing about Zionism has anything to do with Judaism. Jesus fucking Christ I am getting so put up with this fucking libshit website.
@omegahaxors @emilyk @actuallyautistic @mazeldon Depends what you mean by Zionism?
