If you didn’t speak the fuck up when...

Michael Lumish

{Written and published at Fallen From Grace.}

"If you didn’t speak the fuck up when Ethiopian Jews were being persecuted in Ethiopia and you didn’t speak the fuck up when Jews in France were getting beaten up and you aren’t speaking the fuck up about how Yemen is forcing Jews to convert or leave right now, you do not get to tell us we have no place in Israel. You do not get to critique our means of survival. You do not get to tell us we have no right to the only place that gives a shit about our safety. You do not get to tell a group of oppressed, persecuted people how to handle our survival when you never gave a shit about us in the first place."

  5. “Whatever words you speak, know that: vulgar language, bad grammar, ethnic slurs, and suggestive tones will only work against you. Most people are embarrassed by such behavior and judge you negatively, yet do not know how to handle it, so they appear to go along. Make no mistake: you are shooting yourself…”

    Buying or reading anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, anti-Judaism newspapers, like The New York Times, is worse than reading pornography. I never get tired of attacking The New York Times because The New York Times never gets tired of attacking the Jewish State and the Jewish People and the Jewish Faith.
