Zack, 35, says: “I got pretty disillusioned after I found myself consistently matching with anti-Zionists, even when I set it to ‘Jewish only’.”
nice
“But if they’re saying ‘no Zionists’ that doesn’t leave much room for me.”
Good. He got the message.
“It’s like the signs that used to read: ‘No Blacks. No Jews. No Dogs. No Irish.’”
Because actively deciding to support an ongoing imperialist genocide is exactly the same as being born with dark skin.
people can share whatever flag they like, but the people who post ‘no Zionists’ are basically saying ‘no Jews’.
Fuck you. Implying that all (or 99%) of Jews are Zionists erases anticolonial Jews, a few of whom I know, and many of us are tired of Zionists trying repeatedly to erase them from the narrative. Can you imagine what impression a Palestinian gentile would get from never encountering any anti‐Zionist Jews? What would she think?
Zack, 35, says: “I got pretty disillusioned after I found myself consistently matching with anti-Zionists, even when I set it to ‘Jewish only’.”
Is this article seriously conceding the existence of anti‐Zionist Jews while also equating Jews with Zionists? Am I reading this correctly?
Jacob says: “I didn’t care before, but now I’ll make a bit more effort to try and find someone Jewish.” Like Zack, however, he has encountered anti-Zionist Jews.
I am. Good. I’m glad that it is becoming increasingly difficult for the capitalist media to ignore anticolonial Jews, since that indicates that they’re growing in prominence.
Zack put an [apartheid] flag emoji on his profile to rectify the situation. “It’s annoying because the more creative personalities I normally go for tend to be more anti-Israel.” Now he’s having fewer awkward conversations about the conflict, but the people he’s matching with are “less interesting”.
This is my favorite part of the article.
I have to admit, after reading this I am tempted to try Hinge. My previous attempts at using the Internet to find nearby love or friendship have been mostly unsuccessful, though, so I’m reluctant.
I'm sure it's different everywhere, and I'm more or less a cishet man, but I used Tinder, Bumble, Okcupid, Hinge, Plenty of Fish, Taimi, Tumblr (not a dating app but hey I love crazy women so), and briefly Grindr, all in 2023, and I will say, Hinge at a glance seemed interesting and different, but it quickly became my absolute least favorite app--INCLUDING cesspools like Grindr or scam-filled PoF. It had the most incessant stream of painfully personality-less daddy's money people I have ever seen. I can't remember the specifics why but, it was also painfully difficult to match and actually talk to people because of artificial barriers and horrible location matches (recommending me people 500 miles away even when I try to set otherwise).
Enshittification of everything, paywalls, and our toxic social/dating culture ensures all these apps suck to find love or friendship, but if I had to say the best, my personal recommendation would be Tumblr, Taimi, Okcupid, and Bumble in that order.
Tumblr is not built to be a dating site but you meet all sorts of amazing people on there consistently. It would take a long time to get the ball rolling and actually finding people though.
Taimi is touted as a queer website but is very straight friendly too. Many cool people on there. There's also an actual POC presence as opposed to most other dating apps.
Okcupid is kind of libby and filled with 30+ year old white artisan hipsters into therapyspeak and ethical non monogamy, but people actually have reading attention spans on there.
Bumble doesn't have a distinct flavor but it feels like the least-worst-of-all-worlds.
Nothing beats vibes and happenstance, but sometimes it happens online, even in these sundowning days, I can attest to that several times over. Best of luck friend.
Similar energy as: no women on conservative dating apps
honestly this gives me the good idea about dating zionists to scam free drinks off them. that's not a bad idea at all like, i can totally be into "isreal" for like an hour, and then once he's spent like $200 on my drinks be like.........
after that he will wanna not talk to me anymore, which is honestly perfect. free drinks
Now this is what I call praxis.
anti Israel dates
No Blacks. No Jews. No Dogs. No Irish.
No dogs??? Someone who doesn't like being around dogs and wouldn't want the burden to take care of one are the same as nazis now??
People with allergies or asthma= racists
This is telling us more about his beliefs and character tho.
What he essentially told people is that believes signs that prohibit POC from establishments hold the same gravity and moral depravity as "no pets" signs.
signs that prohibit POC from establishments hold the same gravity and moral depravity as “no pets” signs.
Haven't seen it under that angle, and it makes it so much worse
Not to defend the Zionist, but he's referring to a single sign, not separate ones.
I thought they were real because I had seen similar images before, but when I went to look it up this article is saying that they were a popular myth so maybe not.
Fuck Zionists, free Palestine! 🇵🇸🇵🇸
I googled the same and got a bunch of replies discrediting that letter - that specific sign seems to be real, and there were plenty of variants (eg "no Irish no Coloureds").
Sorry friend.
You don't understand, 59-year-old Stephen has a right to pussy. Or cock. Or both.
Time to start gold digging all the Zionist incels on dating apps ladies. Wave a blue and white flag l, get them to pay for an expensive meal, etc, then bail.
PRAXIS
Oh shit, this is a market that would actually pay out. Keen insight on a potential grift! Too bad fanning the flames would cause real-world harm. Someone's definitely doing it, though.
Man, I wish I was still on the market just to tell Zionists to go fuck themselves
You don't need to be single to tell Zionists to go fuck themselves.
You could create a profile to a burner gmail address and get the satisfaction, then delete the app.
also from that site: TIL Matisyaho is a Zionazi. I was told he was based once.
No dogs, certainly.
