idk maybe someone isn’t being unfairly smeared and ‘thrown under the bus’ by Mamdani when she says, in the same post, that Israelis should not feel safe anywhere in the world AND that she doesn’t give a shit if people collapse the distinction between Israelis/Zionists and Jews.

It’s not complicated. Going out and attacking Jewish people at synagogues & schools around the world is antisemitic and abhorrent. Jewish people, like all people, deserve to live in safety.
Aviv Tatarsky. One of the most committed Jewish Israeli activists in defending Palestinians in the West Bank. Attacked by settlers viciously yesterday in Dir Istya where he was helping a Palestinian farmer. Israeli soldiers were there and did nothing.

meine Postevangelikalen challenge:
verstehen, dass innige Frömmigkeit und Hochreligiösität nicht unbedingt auf evangelikale Weise emotional und charismatisch sein muss
i would love to stop seeing people here argue that it’s not antisemitic to kill random jews in america as retaliation for israeli policy. if people would stop doing that, that would be super cool imo. not being a bigoted sociopath on main — what a concept!
For a snappy (IMO) example, albeit for Israelis vs Good Jews™ in Israel: the Old Yishuv Kroizer family includes one of the most derangedly messianic MKs and also his second cousins, Neturei Karta leadership figures.
The idiocy of laundering antisemitic ideas of authenticity through anti-Zionism...
Was soll das denn heißen?

Wäre dieser Krieg ein Eisenbahner-Streik, würden die Medien wartende Passagiere danach fragen, ob sie Verständnis für die Unannehmlichkeiten haben

You probably know that you can't inherently trust the things AI chatbots say, but it seems like a lot of people don't understand that also extends to things the bots say about themselves.
My son attends daycare/preschool at a synagogue very similar to Michigan's Temple Israel. But when I heard about today's terrorist attack, I felt something worse than fear. I felt numbness.
It was clear that attacks like this were already built into my expectations of being a Jew in 2026.
The IDF will drop charges against 5 soldiers accused of sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee in an incident partially caught on camera.

Israeli settlers in the West Bank harass, terrorise, destroy, burn, injure and kill Palestinians, their properties and livestock every day, while the IDF is aiding and abetting them.

Amazing stuff at Tablet (saying you should support Zionism because it's animated by the same blood and soil nationalism behind Nazism) www.tabletmag.com/feature/zion...
Reports say that at least 26 Lebanese civilians were killed in this raid, by Israeli Air Force fire aimed to protect the troops.
Absolutely abhorrent.
I know it is popular to be all “this is the country of the bad people who elected the bad man and love the bad war” but I think people are complex everywhere and that dehumanizing “the enemy” is generally not helpful at all
> it's interesting that you only ever criticize Israel, and never Saudi theocracy, the brutal caste system of the Gulf States, or the UAE's ongoing support for genocide in Sudan
> oh wow, are you against those?
> no, they are our brave and beautiful allies, how dare you attack them you communist
Amazing how these guys will be all like look, we're going over there to liberate the Iranian people, and then a minute later talk about murdering anyone and everyone in the country we're supposedly liberating.
One problem with "settler colonialism" in regards to Zionism is that many supporters and opponents of the terminology believe it points to radical solutions and visions for the future - that "decolonisation" here necessarily means one-state solution or maybe even the "Algerian scenario".

Excellent thread
Im Nov. stand ein Sachbearbeiter bereits das dritte Mal vor M.s Haustür. Er behauptete, auf ihren Kontoauszügen seien keine Abbuchungen für Lebensmittel zu sehen. M. erklärte, dass sie ab und zu Lebensmittel von ihrer Mutter & Schwester erhält. Kurz darauf wurde ihr Regelsatz um 193 Euro gekürzt.
It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.
