Back in 1999, we were handling 1 million inbound email messages a day for ebay alone, they had 3000 agents using our sw and it involved their efficiency 500% at least as I recall. Likely way way way better now.

I worked for kana. Com in the document era where we invented this kind of service. Basically customer service contacts and certain email addresses get room through a system that answers automatically or senior automatically. In this day and age it is probably all automated. 1/2

The Andrew Formerly Known As Prince should be paying very close attention

His civil rights record is strong, that makes him a historical figure. But he also paved the way for left wing adoption of 1960s era Soviet antisemitic and antizionist disinformation campaigns prevalent today, long before the 1984 slur. He never backed off this view. His is a mixed legacy indeed.

Tragic and wrong. Beyond mean mean spirited. If I know this would happen, I would have been premed and then gone to med school to fix it now.

This comment is to point out that your comment uses the same language as 1969s era Soviet antisemitic and antizionist disinformation propaganda campaigns, in case you didn't know that and don't really intend or desire to do such a thing.

No, my previous comment was pointing out that nearly 1 million Jews were forced out of every Arab country in the Middle East with on the clothes other back between 148 and 1950 until all of those countries were and still are Judenfrei. 1/2

If this turns out to be the beginning of the end of unabated antisemitic post colonial theory regimes, I'm for that result. Who wouldn't be?

Haven't hit that wall yet, but just finished a 7 day stint in FB jail that I never got notification for and doesn't show on my support page where such things are supposed to be.

FYI, this comment was moderate as "rude" and I had to click to see it. I didn't agree with that assessment and I won't even see where the idea that it is comes from

What's the difference between your views and standard antisemitic and antizionist views over the years?

It it your claim that Weitzman did not see a Jewish state as a state for all Jews, only for Jews that were already there, and that that was some sort of consensus, and other Jews just showed up unwelcome, and well, what are ya gonna do, so here we are?

Not sure where you got the idea that Israel never thought to be bigger than 3 million, afik it was birth as potentially the home for every Jew in the world. It's not overcrowded.

I recommend the work of Einat Wilf, Izabella Taborovsky, Adam Louis Klein, Greg Rosenberg and whomever they recommend regarding Soviet antizionism. You can find this in print and online and on online interviews

In this conversation I'm talking about victims of 1960s era Soviet antizionist propaganda, not ordinary political discussions among Jews. Peoole repeating that propaganda today, usually without even knowing it, are the victims I'm referring to.

To can still be a fan of a throbbing Palestinians girls without hating Jews, like me eg.

Let's build up Palestinians. What are some of their values and what form of government might work best for them in your opinion?

Btw, you probably don't know this yet, but Ford's extensive antisemitic writing was largely an echo of earlier Russian Antisemitic propaganda, particularly Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

And that before the 1920s were over, he repudiated all of it and stopped.

Which is an option for you too.

Jew or not, a victim of 1960s era Soviet antisemitic and antizionist disinformation and propaganda campaigns for sure

No one supports here fords.

Let me ask you this, since you are too ashamed to answer the other questions:

Do you agree at least wrt to current conflict that Jews are indigenous to the land and Israel is a successful decolonization after almost 2000 years?

01.02.2026 18:03 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Only in the logic of Soviet era antisemitic and antizionist disinformation campaigns.

Look, if that's what you are into, it's your right. Why not be proud of it?

Are you unaware that those are philosemitic people with their own agenda, entirely different from actual Zionists?

Pick one thing you think is incorrect and make your best case.

That may or may not be accurate but it definitely uses the term "Christian Zionism" same as I did.

Zionism is a core facet of Jewish ethnicity for at least 2000 years and probably closer to 4000. Long predates Christianity.

Just like "fans of the Yankees" and "the Yankees" are not the same.

What do you think I got wrong? Be specific and not ignorant!

Wikipedia of your source for this? Speaking of doing some reading, have you ever read beyond that?

01.02.2026 17:52 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Christian Zionists are Christians. Zionists are Jews.

Speaking of denying reality though, why deny the Soviet origins of your antizionist and genocide language?

If you really want to believe it, it's your right, but why deny the origin instead of learning more about it?

You don't think the whole movement isn't 60 years old based on Soviet efforts?

If not, where do you think it originated, and what's the difference between that and Soviet inspired movements?

Thanks for making my point by echoing 1960s era Soviet antisemitic antizionist disinformation propaganda campaigns!

What's the appeal to you of this?
