the publication is only just getting off the ground and for now runs on volunteer work. I am on the editorial board and happily donated my time and translation. Hopefully in the future with more success and donations paying contributors will be possible!

It will never be enough because Mamdani’s crime is his religion and skin colour, not his actual politics. Ever since he won there have been Republican and even some Democrat politicians saying all sorts of monstrous things about Muslims and others and they will never get this sort of scrutiny.

Panel 1: Israel guy with Uncle Sam standing behind him kicks Iran guy. Panel 2: Israel guy stands behind Uncle Sam and says "defend me."

Der Spekter is back this week with more great Bundist work.
We kick off with an editorial cartoon by @andy-singer.bsky.social. Andy sent this to us a few months back and it was only a matter of time before its accuracy reflected current events

sort of. it's not daytshmerish in the sense that daytshmerish can only be non-natively occurring loans from NHG in Y. but bayshpil is perfectly acceptable yiddish, but perhaps to some sounds german-y. Tsum bayshpil = nishto keyn problem!
