*anti-Zionism: opposition to the legitimization of ethnic cleansing via religious entitlement and illegal occupation of land. Includes opposing the exile of indigenous Palestinian population, illegal settlements on their homeland, indiscriminate killing, arbitrary arrests (including the imprisonment of underaged children), cultural appropriation and apartheid.

Note: If anti-Zionsim equated anti-Semitism, the Orthodox Jewish community in the picture below would not exist.

Also note: Palestinians are Semitic.

Palestine belongs to Palestinians. Period.

i think the weirdest thing is having left over information about someone. like i still know someone’s favorite girl name. or their favorite season. or someone’s address. i remember someone’s favorite ice cream flavors. and someone’s favorite childhood book. and the mental disorder their uncle has. i remember the ages and birthdays of their siblings. i remember the song they said they’d sing to their spouse. where do i put this down? where do i learn to forget?

I sincerely hope you teach your child that god is fiction, just like Santa Claus and the Easter bunny. By telling your child that an invisible sky fairy is real, you are brainwashing.

I told my son your opinion, and here is his response.

Also, here is a photo of him telling you that even St. Nickolas (Santa Claus) is a real person, who “ironically is known for punching a heretic in the face, a heretic who spoke against the divinity of Jesus.”
