1.

One of my thesis advisors lived in Nirim. Him, his spouse and their two children spent 17 hours in their home shelter, hearing gunshots and cries for help, smelling the fires from neighbouring buildings, until the army arrived to evacuate them.

2.

One of my mom's recent ex students was held hostage and released in December. A few other coworkers and students were murdered in the kibbutzim.

A work friend of my partner was murdered at the Nova.

Please reblog, I'm curious

[mbichabal]

I know having conversations with global leftists is pointless at this time, but I just saw someone who I actually admire saying on their ig story to anyone connected to Isr ael (separated to avoid coming up in searches) to disconnect from the state if they want to distance themselves from the genocide. And while I agree theoretically, I already see and hear people trying to leave the country and being rejected from jobs and denied residency visas. So which is it? Which do you want? You don't want Jews in pal estine, but you're sure as hell not allowing the Jews to leave pal estine. "Just leave"? What are you even talking about?

And not for nothing, but this person is a US passport holder and Black, living in their spouse's birth country which is still very much a colonialist state. While this person faces discrimination and hardships I have no way of knowing the depths of, them being Black and me being a European looking Ashkenazi, I don't know that they've considered that for most people on earth it's not a matter of "just leaving", and their US citizenship+current place of residence offer them the privileges of being able to "just leave" and go wherever.

Actually my biggest joy in this program is during zoom lessons doing textile stuff that would leave my professors and fellow students dumbfounded (on today's menu: machine knitting a top for a wedding tmrw)

[mbichabal]

I want to complain about how everyday I get emails but also everyday I send email... I being part of the problem and not part of the solution

[mbichabal]

I think I'm doing something wrong. Was there an announcement that I missed? Did everyone else get the memo except for me?

[mbichabal]

Just cancelled a zoom meeting bc I cried too much yesterday and I have a headache and simply cannot fucking deal ✨ girlbossing

This is... kinda bullshit? The Houthis have been attacking American-flagged vessels. The defense of commercial shipping is a primary reason to have a navy. We bombed enemy positions in a rebel territory of Yemen, which were being used to attack civilian shipping with the intention to either sieze or sink it.

You don't have to hand it to the Houthis.

[papasmoke]

The Houthis have been acting in accordance with international law, doing their best to do their duty to prevent Israel's genocide by punishing them financially by preventing shipping through their own waters which would otherwise benefit Israel, similar to how the US blockades countries whose conduct it opposes, and similar to but substantially less lethal than the 16 year long Israeli led blockade of Gaza. Do you support airstrikes against US military bases in retaliation for its decades long blockade of Cuba? Do you support airstrikes against the Israeli military for its blockade on Gaza?

[mbichabal]

The Houthis have most certainly NOT been acting in accordance with international law when they overthrew an elected government, killed civilians by the tens of thousands, and are starving (currently! Happening now!) over ten million people. You should be choosier when making friends with your enemies' enemies.

I accidentally went into the עזה בחינם tag (not accidentally bc I disagree with the sentiment, accidentally bc of the antisemitism and ignorance western leftists have been displaying since 8 am oct 7) and the banner was a white man grinning in front of a mcdonald's. Is this your activism??? Is this what you're soooooo proud of??? Boycotting mcd's wasn't cool enough when it was about industrialised slaughterhouses or labour practices or union busting, but now they are the representation of all that is rotten in the state of *Israel*, of all places? Sit down, shut up, and donate to standing together, women wage peace or mesarvot. Ignorant, privileged clowns.

Ouch my back owie

2024 addition to the pivotal "do it scared": do it stupid

[papihomo]

As someone who grew up on Sound of Music, Fiddler on the Roof, Cabaret & Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

I wouldve expected the rise of antisemitism, hatred and fascism to have WAY more musical numbers.

I am so angry and heartbroken and angry and grieving and angry and devastated and angry and furious and angry and grieving and and and

I feel so shitty! I'm afraid I made a mistake! I feel like I'm failing miserably! I'm not supposed to be here!
