Extremely earnest, minimally comedic, six-hour mockumentary about the Jews of the fictional countries of the Marvel Universe (Sokovia, Latveria, Wakanda, etc.)
https://twitter.com/thedisneyblog/status/1410413495104020492
The Wakandan Jews are a tiny but outsizedly accomplished religious minority. There is traditionally one Jew in the royal court at all times, and this has been true for centuries. They must live forever with the knowledge that they stood by and did nothing in 1933-45
The Sokovian Jews were known for their ornate, locally-constructed head-coverings and a robust Hasidic presence. There was “peaceful coexistence” until Hitler annexed the country and the ethnic Sokovians showed their true colors. This is why I do not weep over their recent pain
Latveria stands alone among the lands of Europa in that the grandfather of President-for-Life Doom never conceded ground to the Axis and never let his Jews be taken to the camps. The Latverian government now employs several Israeli private-security companies for opaque purposes
Jews have not traditionally been native to Madripoor, but with its rise in economic importance, entrepreneurial (and, sometime, criminal) Jewish expats have become a staple. The island has two small synagogues and a Chabad house with bitchin’ decor
The Symkarian Jews have almost entirely relocated to Israel in order to escape their previous home’s descent into endless civil wars after the fall of communism. There are only two Jews left there and they hate each other
The Jewish community of Trans-Sabal allegedly dates back to pre-exilic times, and there is no reason to doubt the claim. However, it long ago migrated to Israel after the violent import of first Baathism and then Wahhabism. The Jewish Quarter of the capital is used to store dung
Genosha is a tricky one. Herzl briefly tried negotiating with the French for Jewish migration there, but was rebuffed. Only with the accession of Magneto—an ex-Zionist Jew who nevertheless learned much from his colleagues in Lehi—did Jewish mutants arrive in significant numbers
The less said about the colonially manufactured “nation” of Sin-Cong, the better, though there is a roughly 150-person remnant of what its members claim is a Lost Tribe that has been there for millennia. They are lobbying for aliyah but the Rabbinate has ruled they aren’t Jews 😕
Most of the Jews of Transia who weren’t shot by the Nazis were shot by the unusually antisemitic (an 1807 blood libel was, as of then, remembered as if it were yesterday) partisans of the Balkan nation. Those who remained were rescued by the High Evolutionary… for nefarious ends
(You think Wanda and Piertro were the first Jews that Wyndham kidnapped and deceived? Psssh that guy is an ollllld-school Oxbridge antisemite, rolled with Oswald Mosley for a bit before going underground)
Another note about Wakandan Jewry: given that the Wakandan language is uniquely adept at incorporating languages from throughout Africa and the Black Diaspora, it contains a few Kayliñña loan-words, such as — fascinatingly enough — the one for “Torah”

Yes, when the Japanese took Madripoor in 1942, about 1,000 Jews from elsewhere in Axis territory were sent to a ghetto in Lowtown; Kitty Pryde’s grandfather helped liberate the island during a brief tour of the Pacific and never spoke of what he saw there to anyone

There’s a contingent of about 100 Skrulls who were embedded on Earth in human, Jewish form to prep for the Secret Invasion of 2008 and fell in love with the faith. Excommunicated by the orthodox Dard’vanist regime of their homeworld, they now live in camouflaged exile in Boca
The religion of the Shi’ar Imperium is, well, imperial: as they gain new worlds, they appropriate their faiths. A secretly developed space colony of heretic Hasidim in Alpha Centauri has requested membership and has innovative proposals (Phoenix Force as Righteous Judgment, etc)
Yeah I coulda done better there, sorry — I’m retconning with John’s point

Ughhhh I have to come back to this one … my first thought is there must be Marrano Jews who claim to worship the new mutant faith bc of the island-wide disdain for human religion, but secretly say kaddish over every one of their death —> regeneration incidents

Never bring up Jews with Magneto. Either he’ll be in one of his periods of going full Shlomo Sand and rejecting the entire identity, in which case he’ll end the convo, or he’ll pontificate for two hours about the time Yitzhak Shamir screwed his girlfriend
Y’all, do not bother to come at me with continuity objections, I am too stoned to care
October 1952, actually! (Mags still has a lot of internalized queerphobia so he masks stories about his time with men by gender-swapping his stories of past male conquests and cuckoldry)

When @attackerman reads your thread of shitposts about Jews and comics
I know comedy is about saying yes-and … but I have to sadly inform you that the Asgardians are SUPER antisemitic. They blame us for monotheism, which put them out of work. Thor’s tolerant, but get Fandral drunk and ask about the Jews and suddenly he ain’t so charming…
