the punk scene is incredibly unwelcoming to jewish people because everyone is either a nazi, or puts their hatred of nazis above the safety of jewish people. in fact, most of these anti-nazi punks don’t know anything about jews and hating nazis is just a convenient target of their anger. in this essay i will

here’s the essay. most anti-nazi punks do not give a single fuck about jewish/roma people. in fact, they threaten us when we speak up about how the way theyre handling being anti-nazi actually hurts us. they are not anti-nazi for us.

for example: the crossed out swastika patch. widely used by goyim, widely hated by jewish/roma punks. super triggering for jewish/roma people! i don’t want to see a hate symbol widely used in my spaces!!

and here’s the thing: white punks do not care. they dont give a fuck. ive literally been told “this patch isnt for you” and “if it triggers you the punk scene isnt for jews.” NOT FOR ME? WHY ARE YOU ANTI NAZI THEN? if your hatred of nazis isnt out of love and support for jews and roma its coming from the wrong place!!

support and protection for minorities ALWAYS has to come before hatred for and antagonizing our oppressors!! ive literally been threatened by white/goy punks for saying they dont get a say in how a hate symbol targeted at jewish/romani people is handled.

white/goy punks do not care about us. they do not support us. they do not listen to us. we are not protected by them.

please listen to this ^^^ queer jewish women raised me in the punk scene and this was one of the first lessons they taught me. don’t trust anyone with ANY kind of nazi imagery, even if it is crossed out. those people either don’t care about the safety and well-being of jewish and roma people, or if they do care then they have been sorely misled about how to show it. educate your peers and avoid the ones actively refusing to understand

which symbol would be appropriate to replace the crossed out swastika?

Here are a couple of symbols to use. The three arrows is a symbol from the Iron Front, an anti-fascist group created by the Social Democratic Party of Germany (or “SPD”). The “Antifaschistische Aktion” flag was created by the Communist Party of Germany (KPD); although this version, with the red flag and black flag (and sometimes the black flag is in the foreground with the red flag in the background; it varies), is unlike the original version with the two red flags, as the modern version symbolizes solidarity between anarchists and communists against the fascists.

There’s a bit of murky history regarding the rivalry the social democrats and communists had back then, but today these symbols are less associated with those specific parties, and much more so with general anti-fascist intent.
