Ironic she uses Satan to teach him what he already knows. Anti-semitism is on the rise because Satan wants the Jewish people dead. If all Jewish people die, then Jesus Christ, God himself, the actual Messiah they denied 2000 years ago, can’t come back. Blindness is come unto the Jews until the fullness of the Gentiles. Romans chapters 9-11. The prophet Zechariah prophecies that Jerusalem during the 70th week of Daniel will be a stumbling block for all nations, that the idol shepherd from chapter 11 will persecute and kill 2/3 of the Jews, and the 1/3 of Jews who survive will look on God, whom they have pierced, from Zechariah chapter 12, every single Jew that survives will be saved by the Lord Jesus Christ, whom the Jews pierced 2000 years ago. Satan will indwell the idol shepherd at the midpoint of the 70th week and seek to kill all Jews. Every Jew on the planet will run to Israel soon because antisemitism will be the norm. The solution to this? Turn to the Lord Jesus Christ, the true Messiah, who came to wash away our sins, God who provided HIMSELF, as the spotless lamb. If you turn to him now, you will be spared from the coming Great Tribulation, the time of Jacob’s trouble.

Good on you for trying to get to the core of who you are. I love that people ribbing you about something so minor in your life inspired you to get more in touch with it thats the kind of power move i respect. Religion has been a sore topic lately and I have been feeling the antiwave with how much I spent online and its alwase good to be reminded about how lables dont make the person and judging before you get to know a person is pretty awful. However Im still pretty concerned about how quick people are to censoring opinions on this topic. If only the world had cooler heads and clearer visions we wouldnt have to fight over the silliest little things. Its really scary how much religion is used to control too instead of uplift in many cases. In the end all i really want is freedom to speak my mind and form my own opinions and find my own way. So respect on forging your own path and taking strength from your bloods past and as long as you do good may good come to you.

We are hoping that classes encouraging those languages can help bridge the gap between the lost heritage and bring us closer to it. Thank you for this spotlight on other religions and cultures.

If all Jewish people die, then Jesus Christ, God himself, the actual Messiah they denied 2000 years ago, can’t come back. Blindness is come unto the Jews until the fullness of the Gentiles. Romans chapters 9-11. The prophet Zechariah prophecies that Jerusalem during the 70th week of Daniel will be a stumbling block for all nations, that the idol shepherd from chapter 11 will persecute and kill 2/3 of the Jews, and the 1/3 of Jews who survive will look on God, whom they have pierced, from Zechariah chapter 12, every single Jew that survives will be saved by the Lord Jesus Christ, whom the Jews pierced 2000 years ago. Satan will indwell the idol shepherd at the midpoint of the 70th week and seek to kill all Jews. Every Jew on the planet will run to Israel soon because antisemitism will be the norm. The solution to this? Turn to the Lord Jesus Christ, the true Messiah, who came to wash away our sins, God who provided HIMSELF, as the spotless lamb. If you turn to him now, you will be spared from the coming Great Tribulation, the time of Jacob’s trouble.

It's crazy both how similar and how different experiences I have had to the one described in the video. My mother is Lutheran, and my father is Jewish. My paternal grandma has been (and still is) horrible to my mother for never converting. I was raised Jewish but am secular and non-spiritual. I feel a bit like an imposter even though I was raised Jewish, but am not considered Jewish by some Jewish people. Even within what I would call a very progressive and inclusive reform Jewish community in Southern California, I have seen and felt a pushback on interfaith Jewish families. This includes from the (now previous) Rabbi of the Synnogauge I would go to as a kid and teen. It makes it hard for me to want to pass on traditions to any possible future children when I myself am in an interfaith marriage, and may not have myself or family welcome into that space. It's so amazing to see a video tackling a subjects and subject matter like that. Keep up the great work!

you whipping out the animated lox and bagel made me so happy lol

As a native American who definitely does not look native American, I completely relate to you on feeling worried that trying to appreciate culture is appropriating culture. My mom tried to teach me about native heritage, but since I was so young, I didn't understand most of it, and now I wish I paid more attention. But as I got older, I grew to appreciate my heritage, and now I'm continuing to learn more about my family's heritage. Thank you for the video Illy!

I love learning about other religions and cultures. It's always been so cool to see life from lots of different perspectives.

Then I got doxxed as an adult for being Roma which was really confusing (in American culture at least) and terrifying.

The even more unfortunate part is that Jewish people aren't the only ones who get attacked/harrassed/forced to assimilate (in the closet) for being a minority or marginalized group. The unfortunate truth is that a good amount of people have to either hide a part of themselves or be harrassed for it by someone. And even if they do hide it, someone could find out somehow. If we lived in a world where only Jewish people were harassed for their identity, it'd be a lot better world. But still incredibly awful and unfair to people who don't deserve it. We don't live in that world, unfortunately. And no one's experience is any less valid because another may have had it worse or is also mistreated. I just hope that one day we can all be more knowledgeable and open about people and identities not of our own and understand each other better. The world then would be much better than we have now. Another thing that makes it hard to call out bad behavior is that hate is often mingled with or disguised as politics or opinions. Some even attempt to make people calling them out or uncomfortable with them as the "actual" oppressors because they're "silencing" them because the person callling them out has major issues with what they're saying. "It's just my opinion bro. Stop being so sensitive and trying to silence me. You can't control my speech because this is 'Murica." Ex.: Trans people requesting to be respected with the right name/pronouns, people asking someone not to say slurs, Jewish people not wanting to be harrassed and asking for someone not to spread misinformation, etc.

Even if I don't believe in god, even if I don't do things like hajj, it doesn't make me less worthy of my heritage. It certainly won't make people treat me any differently than people already do!

I don't wanna sound mean or anything but Islam and its practices aren't cultural, they're religious, while a jew can refer to a person following the Judaism faith, a person who is ethnically jew, or someone's nationality. Eid-al-fitr and eid-al-adha are Islamic holidays, not a cultural one, anyone can celebrate it, and anyone can fast, but the term culturally muslim is misleading and to my knowledge, incorrect. Additionally, hajj is a religious practice, no non-muslim can go to hajj, as Mecca, where the ka'bah is and parts of Medina, the second most holiest site in Islam, are restricted to non-muslims.

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, (some people call us Mormons, but that name originated as a hateful slur, so we don't really use it anymore) I can sort of sympathize with this. The fact that I was kind of scared to even comment my religion just now might give you an idea of how rough society is on us. People can be so hateful. I remember one time, I went to church with my family, and someone had spray painted a nasty word on the side of the building, because of hateful rumors that have been spread. It doesn't help that there are a couple splinter groups that have some horrible things, who people still associate with us EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM. It really makes me sad, and scared honestly.

As a fellow member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I get what you mean we get such a bad reputation because other families forcing it upon their own children but honestly every religion will have crazy families also being called a cult and people basically making fun of missionaries who are just doing their callings so yeah basically I’m happy there is someone who is a member because compared to like catholics there’s not a lot of people

As a Jew I can relate, it sucks that people spread so much baseless hate against you and others that did them no wrong. I too have personally been accused of multiple genocides, inventing COVID-19, manipulating the US government as well as many other world powers, communism, fascism, 9/11, secret tunnels under New York City, and various other acts which I cannot confirm nor deny I've done. Baseless hate still sucks though ;(

Hi Illymation! Thank you for making this video. As a Jewish person living in North America, it's getting really isolating in recent months. I am sorry you've had such bad experiences. I hope we can all learn from the past.

As a "matrilineal" Jew from both sides? I actually godwinned myself in an Israeli courtroom no less. Through a complex series of events which I shall not go into here, I testified against the pot dealer we had bought from. He decided to represent himself. So he got up an aggressively asked me how I could recognize him. "Uh...well, you have a really big nose..." We left town pretty quickly after that. *wrylook*

The n@zi propaganda made up the nose thing. Well, not them specifically but antisemitic books for adults and children's books. Popular in Germany before the party's rise to power.

As someone who is also part of a (different) ethnoreligious group, who doesn't match the typical look, and wasn't raised religiously, I cried so hard hearing you talk about traditions being passed on. These identities, these cultures, these traditions are just as much ours as they are anyone else's. Whatever way we embrace who we are is valid. Hope your journey to learn about your history is a bright one

I'm Orthodox and just want to say shkoyach (more power to ya) on your journey. Much love and support - and you're an awesome animator by the way!

I relate to you so much. Like my dads Jewish and my mums atheist but with a Christian upbringing so in the Jewish community people tell me I’m still not technically Jewish and with my Jewish friends I feel like I’m not Jewish enough but with everyone else I feel like the token Jewish girl. This vid reminded me that there are lots of people just like me and I’m so glad I found ur channel again and I can’t wait to binge all ur vids that i missed :)

It still scares me how much hate is in the world. From where someones born, the language they speak, the colour of their skin, their gender and sexuality, their religious beliefs, literally anything! its depressing that we arent passed this kind of stuff yet. Videos like this are super important, and I hope with more people sharing their stories we'll finally be able to move on from all this hate

This video makes me so genuinely happy. I always love hearing that people i follow or watch are Jewish or have a Jewish lineage, and just hearing their stories of how they embrace their heritage. Judaism is all about belief in the way that as long as you believe in it you can still be Jewish (it's the reason you can ask 2 jews the same question and get the 3 different answers) so the fact that you still identify and how you made this video means so much to not just me but a lot of people.

This is such a well illustrated video Illy and the use of dog whistles as propaganda finally put something into words I've wanted to have forever. I'm a trans girl and I follow old naturalistic beliefs. And the amount of clear shit being peddled by people from Nazi ww2 is awful. From the still prominent anti Jewish sentiments, too anti trans and gay sentiments. Even anti pagan. It's so fucked to think the world our ancestors fought to build is now being torn down by the very people who were supposedly on our side. Parroting the same rhetoric and ideology. The amount of people ik who have had noses broken in or kicked out of home for differing beliefs and identities is ridiculous. I truly hope things get better for you and for everyone else. It's a cruel world at the moment, truly cruel.

as someone who grew up catholic and is now unsure of religion- i have always admired and love jewish traditions. i have so many friends and even some distant family that is jewish. it is so unfair that people would even think these things. I love y’all and stay safe

Did you know that the certain controversial figure that started the war ((I do not dare even name him)) was a Catholic himself and also discriminated Catholics ((just not as much as he did to the Jewish, of course)) but he hated himself the most ((obviously of how the war ended)) so he also hated Catholics because they were not only a religious but also reminded him of himself?

Thank you for talking about this! As someone who is also from a Christian/Jewish family, it was very reassuring to hear I'm not alone.

My mom was raised Christian and my dad was Jewish, and while my family has always leaned to the more Jewish side, it hurt to know by orthodox Jewdism standards, i wasnt even Jewish. Im not sure where i stand with religion, as its been awhile since my family and I have partaken in any traditions or holidays, but I hope one day ill be able to figure it out and really come in touch with my jewish side. Your video really helped me to realize this is hard for others as well, and im extremely thankful.

great to hear a quality video from a fellow member of the tribe

My dad was also Jewish, and my mom was Christian, and he never really participated in any Jewish traditions, but it doesn't make him any less Jewish. He still wishes his Jewish nephew a Happy Hanukkah, and keeps up with the events and history. I love my dad.

Buddy, it's high time to start understanding. A lot of folks with wealth and power encourage those that follow them to be fearful and stupid and therefore controllable. They do this to maintain that wealth and power. They then target and attempt to break up communities of interdependence that have learned to give up fear. Jews Black people Queer people There is a pattern Look at proposed Republican policies and you'll see this time and time again, wrapped in the flag, and stamped with biblical iconography.

I have had a similar experience growing up half Hindi. One of my parents are from India but they grew up in the United States. They tried to teach us abt Hindi traditions but only one or two holidays and idols stuck as we also grew up mainly Catholic. The duality of faith has left me strained on both sides of the spectrum but I try my best to keep room for both family traditions in my heart. The ridicule that comes from ppl who don’t understand can be frustrating, and I am so sry u had to go thru that. Hope u know ur not alone! 😁

So sad that so many people still don't have respect for those who are different from them. We all should be treated equally and respect each other's rights

Not jewish, but the growth of antisemitism being used as a “joke” or “just dark humor” is really unsettling. There’s so many people at my school who are so into the “joke” to the point where it feels like they’re not playing around anymore. And any time I try to speak out against them, I get told that I’m taking things to seriously or I’m being sensitive. Thank you so much for giving me a word for this kind of thing though, it is really helpful.

Oh I get it. I remember one time my brother showed up at school after shaving his head for cosmetic purposes, and he and some of his meaner friends made jokes about....... certain things involving Jews and WWII. It's unbelievably messed up. My brother and I aren't Jewish but our dad's extended family is, and because of this, he thinks he can get away with saying depraved and disgusting things because he thinks he's "half-Jewish". The way this stuff is normalized is atrocious and I'm glad Illymations was willing to address it.

I’m an atheist but I did recently discover that I’m partially Jewish (according to my dad after taking a dna test). I do want to learn more about Jewish traditions. But I feel disgusted and horrified by all of these hate crimes. I wish you the best.
