NHS will run an anti-trans conversion trial, apparently.

This is where we currently are.

This isn’t so say I disagree with your point about sympathizing with the Iranian diaspora. Just that it’s not an easy line to thread.

I’m of mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, the narrative of the U.S. and Israel as the only and ultimate evils is real, but on the other hand there’s an endless number of horrors around the world and those done by l own governments and their allies feel more influenceable.

They literally said this word for word about trans people within the last few months…

Decipher the meaning of the word without nikkud, difficulty level - impossible:

I keep a tally of polytheistic and monotheistic passages in the Tanakh, and turns out it’s actually far easier to find examples of the former.

We know, of course, that it is not lashon hara if the person is dead. And as it is written, the wicked are considered dead even while they still breathe. In this essay, I will…

Esther was a muscle mommy, duh.

Though interestingly midrash does say other nations were offered the Torah first but rejected it.

And what do they do about שארית?

What does Purim teach us? Two things—

First, we must use privilege for justice and the good of our communities.

Second, thick thighs save lives.

Good ole Grandpa Israel, who will fight no one ever unless it's Gd

Not the toenails. 🤣

Scuze me, we don’t know whether this is what he’s referring to psht.

Didn’t see the video and can’t watch rn — quick TL;DR?

Don’t know if I noticed this specific one but the Jesus books often use the Septuagint yeah.

Oh yeah? Well his sons mass murdered a whole village and enslaved Egypt, and his grandpa almost sacrificed his son.

Scuze me, he is one of the least questionable characters!

The Torah is always going on—“the children of Israel” this, “the children of Israel” that.

But what about the adults, did ~they~ ever do anything?

Historically interesting context, in that this was written within a couple generations of the Rhineland massacres.

According to this book, the Sefer Hasidim says that if a Jew seeks to kill a non-Jew, you should help the non-Jew. But I can’t find the exact source. Can anyone help?

Pentagon tells Congress no sign that Iran was going to attack US first, sources say Trump administration officials acknowledged in closed-door briefings with congressional staff on Sunday that there was no intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack U.S. forces first, two people f...

we reached the “no WMDs” phase in two days.

Those three downed jets run around $90 million each.

It cost $20 million a year to operate the food kitchens serving 816,000 people in Sudan.

Actually yes I am saying that you shouldn’t dehumanize anyone

No exceptions to the rule

The lives lost in war are the first concern, but there’s also something to be said about how this war will drive up the prices of just about everything while we’re in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis.

I don’t recall the text saying anything about his age, and I just read it?

Show me the coolest thing you own. Whether it’s art or a leaf that you found neat, I want to see it!
