In the backlash to the antisemitic stuff that came out of this from twitter I saw people talk about knowing antizionist hasidic Jews or having their gender identity accepted in the community.

But am I going crazy or wasn't it literally like last year that the NYT published a story about how the New York hasidic community in particular has gender segregated schools that produce single digit percentages of basic English and math literacy, and employs corporal punishment?

Edit: Late 2022 it was published, turns out.

This shit is also why the fucking antisemitic abuse tunnels conspiracy stuff is so destructive, because in any other scenario it would be a completely normal conclusion to think that a deliberately closed off community that deprives children of the skills and knowledge to operate outside it, is inherently at a huge risk of any kind of abuse going unreported and victims being left with no way out.

But thats within the community, and not this fucking blood libel shit that reactionary freaks like jackson hinkle are peddling about pedo tunnels.

Normalize 👏 making 👏 tunnels 👏 under 👏 your 👏 enemies

I am always on the side of the guys with the big tunnel network.

When I first heard about the tunnels I got no context with it and thought maybe they were building an underground access to another building (and as a guy who works in the Middle East, nothing beats underground access to other buildings during Summer, let me tell ya), but then I went on twitter and I'm reading some of the weirdest blood libel stuff.

I'm not gonna shed any tears for this particular group though, as there's an anti-zionist twitter group that explained this group's ties to Israel; apparently they're both anti-zionist but pro-Israel, in that they detest that Israel is secular but still support them because they want a Jewish state (religiously Jewish that is; they don't merely want a state of Jewish people). They've held meetings with multiple Israeli prime ministers including Benjamin Netanyahu (https://twitter.com/TorahJudaism/status/1744728504829428196).

If a week ago you posted that members hasidic community were literally undermining new york infrastructure in order to build a sewer yeshiva close to their proclaimed messiah, you would have been the twitter main character of the day for your nonsensical antisemitism.

I call and the worms answer

Tunnels are so hot rn, but it's too late to really get in on the trend.

What you really should do is get in on the next big thing before it blows up: Sinking building foundations.

I still dont understand what these tunnels were supposed to be for but the memes are gold.

What strikes me is the way some people talk about Hasidism with the attitude of "those are the backwards jews". Obviously it's awful online, but that leaks through in NYC based media.

if the Hasidim want to leave behind the coercive patriarchy and abusive school system and focus on the tunnels i think that is a net win for everybody

i've seen headlines about this and i still don't know what exactly happened but whatever it is i've surmised that it's cool and funny. fuck the MTA we're extending the subway system ourselves.

I've been seeing SO much antisemitism today on other sites surrounding whatever is going on, and holy shit I want everyone who posts shit like that to go straight to the re-education camps. It's been fucking enraging

Destroying my own infrastructure in the name of freedom

Missed an opportunity to Photoshop Saddam in the tunnels.

"Dune"

Where the FUCK is a trans tunnel???
