Next year in Jerusalem? HELLZ NAH
As a #ExJew , they claim on #passover to #pray & glorify moving back to #Jerusalem , which is basically an excuse to gentrify the hell out of the #Palestinians ! With the ongoing wars, I don’t feel anywhere safe in I/P as the news of the conflicts causes so much trauma, and the Capitol of 🇮🇱 has been hijacked by the orthodox Jewish population and their fanatics. I don’t feel Jerusalem is holy to me anymore, i studied for two years in the old city and was subjugated into conversion abuse torture methods which they call “therapy” and forcing me into a loveless marriage and dogmatic faith. Zionism is Ashkenazi supremacy and as a Yemen 🇾🇪 with many intersections, I am oppressed in 🇮🇱/ 🇵🇸 as well by its supporters 🇺🇸 in the diaspora. More holiness in nyc, accepting diversity, inclusion and investing in our growth than the segregation of the unholy land ruled by West Bank settlers, as I evaded the IDF. May there be peace ☮️ stability, coexistence & love 💕 for all beyond Jerusalem as that region won’t change and stop fighting for over 3000 years.
Living through the intense political and social turmoil in Jerusalem and the broader Israeli-Palestinian context profoundly impacts not only personal identity but also community relationships. Many individuals like me, who come from diverse backgrounds—including Yemeni heritage—find themselves caught between overlapping narratives of oppression and resilience. The historical and religious significance of Jerusalem does not always translate to personal safety or spiritual fulfillment, especially when extremist forces dominate the landscape. The trauma from ongoing violence often manifests in profound psychological distress, which unfortunately sometimes leads to harmful practices disguised as 'therapy.' Personal stories of forced conversions and loveless marriages highlight systemic issues within communities on all sides. These experiences underscore how political ideologies such as Zionism, particularly its Ashkenazi supremacist aspects, contribute to exclusion and suffering rather than peace or unity. In contrast, cities like New York offer spaces where diversity and inclusion are more than slogans—they are lived realities. Investing in social growth and embracing intersectionality provide a glimmer of hope for coexistence and healing, values desperately needed in areas rife with sustained conflict. Importantly, hope lies beyond territorial disputes and protracted battles that have plagued the region for millennia. Ultimately, a future of peace, stability, and mutual respect requires acknowledging painful truths and rejecting simplistic narratives. It is about recognizing the humanity behind every hashtag—#ExJew, #Passover, #Jerusalem, and #Palestinians—and working toward a world where love and understanding replace fanaticism and division.
