How so linguistically?

Did it say he got deported?

Israel simply does not have the power to force the US government to do something it does not want to do. What Rubio is doing here, by claiming Israel forced the US hand, is making Israel the scapegoat for a US policy he knows is unpopular. This framing is going to be so bad for Diaspora Jews.

All warmongers can get fucked.

We must drink until we struggle to tell apart “blessed be Mordecai” and “cursed be Haman.” And on some days, that’s stone cold sober.

There’s a Talmudic opinion about how we shouldn’t let people convert to Judaism when Jews are doing well politically, as they may be doing for improper reasons.

So yeah. Fucking nailed it. 🙃

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?

What’s missing is that opinion sections used to be where experts could make their views heard. Of course, being more factual, they were the first cut.

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.
