Xochi and I - Contraversal take - Pittsburgh (from two disaffected and angry Jews who are politically Anarchist/Antifa)
Hi, I am guessing that you want Xochi and I to weigh in on today's tragedy in Pittsburgh...We would rather fucking not but okay... Because if we say something we will fucking get criticism and we don't we will be seen as somehow uncaring.
We'll just have to pass on anything outside of thoughts and prayers to all of the victims families and the affected community ... We won't stand for this horrific act of violence.
That's all we -should- have.
And this really goes without saying but we will throw it out there because we are buckling up and expecting it anyhow:
We are absolutely going to shut down anyone who is going to manipulate the tragedy for political ends.
We are not going to bootlick for Israel and Zionism because all of the sudden the United States of America is not safe for Jewish people. Xochi's already getting bullshit over her anti-Zionist political views - Oh yeah, Xochi and I are effectively banned from entering the State of Israel for our pro-Palestinian and far left views.
We are definitely not going to support more fucking gun control legislation. And get the fuck out of here with calling the AR-15 an assault rifle (it's a civilian model of the M16 - you can't go full auto on it, semi-auto only) . So please kindly fuck off with more calls for gun control.
Xochi and I are to date are highly conflicted with remaining in the Jewish faith (both of us haven't made it official yet but we are going in the direction of leaving), Xochi has verbalized leaving Judaism for good after almost 39 years, I myself have had a pretty complicated relationship with Judaism and well I will be the other shoe dropping in due time when Xochi's made a decision
And no, we do not really want and care for more security at synagogues, those with too much security are inaccessible as is and we are pretty much feel excluded from such spaces. Xochi's not supportive of the idea of having either of our weaponry confiscated or checked upon entering the building - cuz fuck checkpoints.
So much feels to navigate with today's news.
TLDR - Zionist bootlickers and gun control losers - kindly fuck off. Don't manipulate the tragedy for your political ends.
Xochi and Isabel

"Xochi and I are effectively banned from entering the State of Israel"
Xochi just had a vacation in Israel this August, remember?
