Here’s the thing, if there’s *anything* that the State of Israel can do in 2025 that can make you say, “you know, maybe the Nazis were right about some things” in reference to things they did to different Jews in the 1940’s, then you’re a racist and you’ve always been a racist and it’s really that simple.

I met someone at church two weeks ago who I had never spoken to before but she walked up to me and handed me a baby (FABULOUS red hair on that child), and said, "Have you met my youngest, Septus?"

And at first my only reaction was, "That's an odd name," so I asked, "Oh, why did you call him that?"

And she said to me, "Oh, he's my seventh."

And while I was pondering this information and its implications, dear reader, she did indeed turn away, look a nearby young woman dead in the eye, and say, "Prima, have you seen Trinity?"

[rohirric-hunter]

Big news: the week before last I met Prima, Trinity, and Setpus's brother Quintus

Like I love talking to you guys and love the break from the insanity I get on here but the one type of convo I just have to bow out of is everyone reassuring themselves that the crazy antisemitic populist DSA takeover of the Democratic party isn't real/is overblown/is going to fizzle out and all these neo Nazis are totally gonna lose because it's just a lunatic fringe that's excited by them.

Yeah um they're winning and antisemitism is popular among every community except Jews. "Is there really a populist wave happening in Michigan?🤔" Yes. "Is the Democratic party really being taken over by the DSA?🤔" Yes. "Is Mamdani actually as popular as he seems?🤔" Yes. "Is the online support for fascism and terrorism coming from real people?🤔" Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes. Yes this is happening yes this is real.

"This guy totally is gonna lose in the general election!!" No he isn't. "These crazy commies think supporting terrorism is a winning platform among normies!" It is. "No one cares what crazy pro terror streamers like Hasan Piker have to say!" Yes they do. "Leftists are crazy thinking a man who has an SS Nazi tattoo could be electable to the general population!" He is. "Leftists are crazy thinking a woman who's against interracial marriage is electable!" She won. "Leftists are crazy thinking people care about destroying Israel more than their own healthcare!" They do. "Okay yeah these candidates keep winning over and over again but they won by a smaller margin than predicted sometimes maybe!! Uhh people voted for them but only because they other candidates sucked not because they really support them!" Mamdani is probably the most popular politician in the entire country right now besides Donald Trump, flat out period the end. You guys gotta get real.

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind....

[jewish-joy]

A very progressive group at my college just posted an infographic that states “ Zionists believe that Jewish people are indigenous to Israel” and I am losing my shit.

They said this in a post including that it’s okay to kill Zionists and they explicitly support all armed resistance

This is quite something. This is really quite the situation.

[funkopersonal]

wtf this is actually insane. this is... i dont even know what to say or how to describe it. its just... I cant quite believe this is what American colleges are coming to...

As a high schooler applying for colleges next year, this isn't making me too excited to go to college at all.

[snakelung]

"Zionists believe in historical fact" is a fascinating new reason to hate Zionists

[chutzpahchesed]

“This is why these conversations are impossible. You keep retreating into facts.”

I went to an anti-Israel dinner party. It did not go as planned.

They described it as “a safe space for difficult conversations.” What they really wanted was an Israeli who would sit quietly and confess.

[the-library-alcove]

I'm in awe that they think the BBC, of all media, is "justifying" it. The BBC is so institutionally antisemitic that they were repeatedly offered free resources--workshops, educational programs, etc--on how to be LESS antisemitic, and they turned the offers down every time.

I know we talk a lot about the literacy crisis and the horrible anti-intellectualism happening rn but I think we need to talk more about how much of an entitlement complex the stupidest among us have developed

[notaplaceofhonour]

if you don’t know what a word means, look it up.

if you can’t look it up, use context clues.

Overuse of purple prose is a problem in Fantasy, but “scrying” is just, like, the word for a specific kind of magic. That degree of specificity and the vibe archaic arcane-sounding words lend to the magic they describe is a feature of the genre that readers expect & want. This is like getting mad a book about Egypt used the word Pharaoh or papyrus instead of “king” or “paper made out of reeds”.

Mamdani confronts backlash over exclusion of Jewish lawyers from judicial panel

The mayor has shrugged off criticism over his anti-Israel politics. But backlash for excluding Jewish lawyers from a key judicial committee

[knight-of-skyloft]

“The suggestion that there would be any decision-making motivated by religion, it does bother me,” Mamdani told reporters on Wednesday. “This is a city that is beautiful because of the breadth of diversity of those who call it home, and that includes the Jewish community across the five boroughs.”

aka "how dare you call me antisemitic I'm literally nice"

Mamdani forcefully denied suggestions that religion played any role in assembling legal experts for the committee. “I did not ask for the religion of each of the person that was put forward,” he said on Wednesday.

aka "I don't see religion I just hired the best people for the job and it's not my fault if that includes zero Jews by sheer coincidence"

[mariacallous]

I would almost potentially buy his argument if we weren't talking about not only lawyers but NY-based lawyers. You either have to be actively weeding out (or your staff ) or the list of potential people is not only pre-determined but incredibly intentional.

I just also don't understand the ostensible level of surprise every time something like this comes up. There have been so many unforced errors, it's like intentionally walking into rakes at this point.

You'd think that having made almost zero progress on your goal of freeing Palestine and instead achieving new and still rising, highs of antisemitism across the globe would make the "I'm antizionist not antisemitic" crowd rethink their approach of activism for Palestine. But alas, that hasn't happened because not all, but a substantial amount of the aforementioned crowd of people actually have harming jews as their real goal.

[freegazafromhamas]

The entire movement has NEVER been about Palestinians. Palestinians are a tool used to promote hatred of Jews. That's all Palestinians are to these people.

They're killing our people again.

They're hanging them, cutting their life short, right in front of everyone to see. Their families, their loved ones, and then a bunch of parasites that lick the ground they walk on and cheer for the death of a human being.

This regime has to go.

So why the fuck won't they? How much more do they want to take and take and take from us? How many more are they going to kill?

Long live Iran,

Death to the Islamic republic.

[nonbinaryjudean]

Insert obligatory disclaimer about my belief in peace and equality and condemnation of settler violence etc etc but it is genuinely fucking ridiculous how many important and historic Jewish locations we are absolutely forbidden from entering. It’s ridiculous how there already was a two state solution when Jordan gained independence and got 70% of the British mandate and how Jews are expected to just surrender our land and our rights to governments that build crap on top of our sacred sites and burial grounds. Whatever. Keep trying to erase our history and blot us out of existence cuz it’ll never work 💙 you can kick the Jews out of the land but the land will always remember us 💙

[shofarsogood]

Jews founded the city of Hebron and now we're not allowed there at all. To a city WE created and lived in for thousands of years.
