Ah - thank you. I'll binge season 2 anyway (obviously) but will also try not to be put off if it's disappointing.

Yep. And it will so obviously disproportionately impact non-white people (Semenya, Khelif...I don't think it's coincidence that this sort of thing happens less to white people)

I'm now not clear if you're saying that *anything* that isn't the status quo (not just the removal of Israel as a state) counts as subjugation if it doesn't have consent of the Jewish population?

Right. Could be different understandings of what is meant by "Zionist" (or "anti-Zionist")

There are quite a lot of options in between "the status quo" and "no more Israel", aren't there? There are many other countries where we'd agree the status quo is not acceptable, without immediately concluding that country must cease to exist.

I remember there was some article about how the f word had fallen to third place, with the c word top. Frustratingly no clues about number two.

We're talking Avocados, wordbringer. Love them or hate them, you've got to share your (or your mother)'s favourite recipes / serving suggestions for them.

I was thinking more as generation divide (1970s boomers Vs 2000s millenials).
Since the 1970s/80s my mother did avocado halves with chopped peppers / vinaigrette for dinner party starters, but also smashed on toast with lemon and salt for breakfast. But then she was ahead of her time (+Israeli)

Isn't the division between cut in half and filled with prawn cocktail / vinaigrette, Vs "smashed" (ie spread) on toast with lemon or lime?

You may remember Kindertransport from popular hits including This Is Your Life with Nicholas Winton (2003) and Saving thousands of Jewish children from Nazi Germany (1938-9).

The basic problem with the temporary refugee status policy - especially one lasting up to 20 years - is it leads to very few removals (based on Denmark's experience) but does significantly worsen integration.

IIRC the ones who aren't Jewish (or Jewish-coded) were still depicted with larger noses, on the mural.

Again, if you had examples of massive flaws, you'd have shared them by now. The more you go for sarcastic bluster, the more confident I am of this fact, in case you were mistakenly thinking you were persuading me otherwise. (Do you think you're persuading me otherwise?)
