the comic book industry was built on the back of jewish creators, superhero comics were pioneered by jewish creators. everything we have today from superman to captain america, is down to the creativity of jewish artists and writers. and todays comics do nothing but spit on that legacy
Our culture and experiences shaped these characters. Shaped this legacy.
Superman is living embodiment of tikkun olam. Kal-El is literally Hebrew, he is given a gentile name (Clark Kent) on Earth because he is based on the Jewish immigrant experience. The hope of two Jewish boys during the depression.
Captain America is literally Erskine’s golem. Erskine is a Jewish man who was forced out Germany, and he gave a good man the ability to become a super soldier. Because Jews needed hope.
Ripping characters away from their Jewish roots is an incredible disrespect to the people who built the universes we’ve grown to love.
Erik Lehnsherr is a jewish man. He was created by Jewish people. He’s the survivor of the holocaust. Nazis killed our people. They murdered us. They murdered his family, they murdered his wife’s family. He’s a jewish man created by jewish people. He’s jewish rage incarnate. Making him work for Hydra is incredibly disrespectful to us and everything he stands for.

New string of JCC bomb threats. As of Monday, February 27 at 12:35 Eastern time, Peter Alexander from NBC is reporting bomb threats at Jewish community centers and day schools in North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Indiana, Michigan, and New York. This is the fifth wave of targeted bomb threats against Jewish community centers and schools this year.
I’ll try to update this post throughout the day as more information comes in.
Updated information from Reuters:
At least 16 Jewish community centers and schools around the United States reported receiving bomb threats on Monday, NBC News reported, the fifth wave of such threats this year that have stoked fears of a resurgence of anti-Semitism.
The threats, all of which appeared to be hoaxes, were received at centers in North Carolina, Delaware, Alabama, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Florida and Indiana, according to NBC News. For some centers, it was the second or third time this year that they have been targeted.
The JCC Association, an umbrella group for U.S. Jewish community centers, confirmed there had been a number of threats, but was still compiling details.
Donations for desecrated Jewish cemetery
Some of you may have already heard about the vandalism and desecration of one of the oldest Midwest Jewish cemeteries.
What I have not heard or seen yet is any links to where you can donate to repair the headstones, and thus, this post, link above.
For further context on why this is especially horrific, see this Twitter thread and you know what, fuckit, I don’t have the energy to find The One Right Site to explain Jewish funerary customs and rites. Y’all have fucking Google you can deal with it. Besides which I’m pretty sure I don’t need to explain to my mutuals why desecration of the beloved dead is UPSETTING.
And that said, please do reblog.
more than 100 headstones were vandalized and damaged at chesed shel emeth cemetary in university city, mo on the same day jewish community centers around the country received bomb threats, and officials are still wondering whether to call it a hate crime 🤔🤔
“The cemetery would like to pay for us much of the cleanup and repairs as possible, but they’re still assessing the damage.”
The headstones were broken and toppled to the ground, and repairing them will likely be very expensive. Donate to Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetary directly here, or through All Nations Church, which is matching donations up to 500 dollars, here.
idk why but it seems all the opposition to nazis from goyim seems so…….performative.
like y’all will go on and on about punching nazis, but you won’t even mention how jcc’s are getting bomb threats, or critically examine the rise of antisemitism on the left. hell, most of the gentile blogs that i follow that talk about “i hate nazis i wanna punch them” say almost jack shit about actual antisemitism…..
it just gives me a really bad feeling overall. kinda seems like you care about seeming progressive, but don’t actually care about our lives.
(I really want gentiles to reblog this btw)
this is literally the history of the left
I don’t know how else to make you see..
The sharp rise in anti-Romani and Antisemitic attacks in Europe is appalling. The numbers of incidents are even more shocking considering just how small of a minority both ethnic groups are, respectively.
Many of these attacks are not perpetrated by your average racist or xenophobe, these are calculated and orchestrated acts of violence by neo-Nazis designed to instill fear in both Jewish and Romani communities. It is evidenced that violence is steadily increasing in frequency and intensity.
What is even more frightening, is that fact that these are only reported attacks by OSCE reporting nations. The true scope of anti-Romani and Antisemitic crimes is unknown because many go unreported.

I don’t know how else to make you see what we’ve been trying to tell you for over 5 years, other than forcing you to look.
It’s International Holocaust Remembrance Day
Never forget the Porjamos–the genocide of over a million Romani people by the Nazis.
Never forget the Farhud, a Nazi-inspired pogrom in Iraq, 1941.
Never forget the Nazis also killed Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews.
Never forget Aktion T4, a the so-called “mercy killings” (genocide) of those called “useless eaters” (disabled people).
Never forget the hundreds of Black Germans who were forcibly sterilized by the Nazis.
Never forget the “inverts” and “homosexuals” who were rounded up and sent to their deaths because they were deemed a threat to the “Aryan Race.”
Never forget the “nice Germans” who didn’t “care about politics” and silently watched their neighbors be taken away to be tortured and killed.
Never forget the anti-fascists and the Partisans who were of many nations, including Jews, who fought the Nazis and rescued concentration camp survivors.
Never forget the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, an armed resistance of Jewish people that saved thousands of lives from the concentration camps.
Never forget the smaller acts of resistance like industrial sabotage practiced by those in the concentration camps to reduce their contribution to the Nazi war machine.
Never forget that the United States of America’s xenophobic, racist, eugenicist, antisemitic, ableist, and anti-Romani immigration quotas policy condemned millions of people to death.
Never forget the fate of the M.S. St. Louis.
Never forget that Nazism was fairly popular in the USA until Germany declared war on it.
Never forget that antisemitism persisted during that time and was heightened during the McCarthyism.
Never forget the Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (Social Democratic Party of Germany) who violently suppressed political radicals (including killing the Jewish communist Rosa Luxemberg and other members of the KPD) during the Wiemar Republic, inadvertently aiding the Nazis.
Never forget Magnus Hirschfeld, a sexologist, Homosexual Transvestite*, and German Jew–and his Institut für Sexualwissenschaft
(Institute for Sexual Science). *his own terms
Never forget that the Nazis burned it and all the works in his library.
Willem Arondeus, a Dutch Homosexual gentile artist, writer, and resistance leader who led a group in bombing the Amsterdam Public Records Office on July 1st 1943 in order to hinder the Nazi round-up of Jews.
Never forget his final words: “Let it be known that homosexuals are not cowards.”
Never forget that the city of Shanghai brought in tens of thousands of Jews, more than any USA city.
Never forget the USSR, not the USA or Britain, liberated most of the concentration camps and captured Berlin, ending the war.
Never forget the Japanese-Americans who liberated Dachau that USA textbooks never mention.
Never forget that the world knew.
Never forget all the Holocaust survivors who escaped the concentration camps and arrived in Britain, the USA, and the USSR and told the world their stories.
Never forget the silence.
Never forget that the entire chain of command for the USA, including President Roosevelt, ordered the air force not to bomb the railways leading to Auschwitz and the gas chambers which would have saved thousands.
Never forget Henry Ford and all the other American Nazi-collaborators.
Never forget the pogroms just after the Holocaust officially ended.
Never forget that never again means never again to anyone.
Never forget the betrayal.
Never forget the solidarity.
Never forget that “first they came for the Socialists.”
Never forget that an injury to one is an injury to all.

Richard Spencer being an antisemitic fuck just hours before getting punched in the face on camera
mmmm the good ol’ “Jews Are Too Shady And Disloyal And Cannot Be Full Citizens” trope, truly a Classic Nazi™ move
Reminder that regardless of what Jews look like, white supremacists will always consider us foreign Semites.
…..chuck schumer was born in NY. we’re saying the tweet is making use of an antisemitic trope? sorry, my brain is fuzzy, i don’t want to misunderstand this
The idea is that because Chuck Schumer is Jewish, he is representing a “foreign nation” (Jews) who aren’t truly American (despite citizenship). The antisemitic trope is an old one claiming that Jews are disloyal outsiders and cannot be trusted not to serve their own interests first. This argument has been used to justify stripping Jews of citizenship (especially after the creation of Israel) on numerous occasions in the past. It’s especially pervasive in white supremacist ideology that views Jewish people as infiltrators of the white race.
Gentiles reblog this.
Hey so now we’re paying attention to Captain America
I’d like to draw more attention to antisemitism that affects real Jewish people, because honestly? I have not seen as much outrage over the lives of actual people than I have over a fictional white gentile. So I’ve compiled a list of posts and blogs for my fellow gentiles to read.
Here is a post discussing why tumblr’s social justice community often forgets or dismisses antisemitism
Here is a post about antisemitic microaggressions
Here is a post detailing recent antisemitism in Europe
Here is a post regarding the girl who took selfies at an anti-Muslim protest, and her antisemitism
Here is a post about Jewish coded characters and using Jewish history (among others) for tragedy points
And here are some Jumblr blogs I highly recommend reading and following:
And some more blogs for learning:
Please support Jewish people, not just on Tumblr, but in real life. Please educate yourself on antisemitism so you can fight it, not just when it affects your fictional faves but when it affects real people.
