Ok, lads this is important: hurricane Milton took a tiny detour last minute, which was the best of best case scenarios. Looks like the surge hit south of Sarasota, at a lower max height, but still plenty of damage to contend with. So, if you or anyone you know needs assistance PLEASE APPLY FOR IT. DO NOT LISTEN TO RUMOURS. HOP ON THAT FEMA PAGE/APP AND CHECK WHATāS AVAILABLE TO YOU.
THE FUNDS ARE THERE. YOU DONāT GET THEM IF YOU DONāT APPLY.

Everyone is talking about John Fetterman wearing a formal suit for Netanyahuās genocide apologia but Rashida Tlaib is actually the only one wearing an acceptable outfit to the speech.

Again, my life and my Jewishness is not above anothers life and their existence. I do not view myself as special, or deserving of some multi billion dollar state simply for existing. I am not an eternal victim every waking day of my life. I will not find liberation in the oppression and pain and violence inflicted upon another.
I will stand alongside everyone in the war against capitalist greed, against fascist evil. Zionism has nothing to do with safety, preservation, love, prosperity. Zionism has nothing to do with my. freedom. Zionism is a new formula designed to weaponise an identity, to keep weapons pointed at the United States enemy and our minds set in stone.
I will be Jewish with every breath and every single time I say Free Palestine.
#judaism#free palestine#such a powerful message#cannot express how grateful I am that I came across this#āI will not find liberation in the oppression and pain and violence inflicted upon another.ā

If you say shit like āPalestinians should dieā or āGaza should get wiped off the mapā on my blog I will block you just as fast as if you had said āJews should dieā or āIsrael should get wiped off the mapā. This blog believes strongly in the safety and mutual respect of both peoples, regardless of the actions of their governments. If you think differently, I hope you find empathy. In the meantime, fuck off.

PALESTINE UPDATES šµšø
House passes bill to widen the definition of anti-semitism.
instagram
As the crackdown in retaliation to the student protests intensify, the House has passed a bill to widen the federal definition of anti-semitism. Critics of the bill included Jerry Nadler. The most senior Jewish member of Congress and a strong supporter of Israel. Nadler said, "This bill threatens to chill constitutionally protected speech. Speech that is critical of Israel alone does not constitute discrimination. The bill sweeps too broadly."

So, does genocide not have criteria? Or are you just complaining about a lack of a citation?
Displacement (i.e., ethnic cleansing) is still a war crime, and wrong, and some academics see genocide as more bloodier version of ethnic cleansing (not saying that's the case, but it is an argument that historians et al. have made).
Who do you consider to be "Team Hamas"?
For those of you that think Israel "isn't committing genocide because if they wanted to do, they would have dropped a nuke already," shut the fuck up.
The Holocaust lasted for more than a decade (1933-1945), with the first concentration camp being erected on March 22, 1933 at Dachau.
The lack of nuclear explosions in Gaza is not evidence that there is not a genocide happening. There are many other variables that go into this determination.
Your ignorance on the suffering and murder of millions of Jews over the course of a decade can stay out of the discussion.

If you refer to people that you disagree with immediately as goyim, or generally use that term as an epithet for gentiles, then you probably have no place on this blog.
I get that that term goy is a term principally used to refer to non-Jews by Jews, and has been appropriated by fascists as a way to highlight their putrid antisemitism.
As others before me have pointing out there is also more to the history of this term. (Had a really great conversation a decade ago after synagogue about this specific term, when and how it is applied, and came away from that talk feeling less inclined to ever use it.)
Iāve personally never experienced someone use the term goyim as anything other than a way to admonish someone for lack of Jewry. All it says to me is that youāre more interested in silencing someone that isnāt a part of your group.
āWell, they arenāt a Jew so there no point in listening to them.ā Why is this acceptable?
If you only use this term in either of these contexts, Iām not really interested in engaging with you. Iāve seen a lot of posts and tags lately using this term, and Iāve yet to see any that are neutral (and Iāve never heard or read the term in a positive light).
Address the points being made, not the lack of Jewry. Goyim arenāt wrong for being gentiles; theyāre wrong for stating incorrect things and non-truths.
Moreover, you arenāt going to teach anyone anything if your first volley is going to effectively start by saying that theyāre too dumb to get it because theyāre a gentile.

Take a step back and read what I said, which you quoted. Your response is relation to HAMAS. Which did invade Israel, kill 1,200 people and kidnap another 240. None of which was contested in my response.
I asked if settler violence in the WEST BANK was acceptable. The West Bank isnāt run by Hamas, it is run by the weak and useless Palestinian Authority (formerly PLO).
Would you like to answer the question you quoted, or would you like to continue being a toddler?
For those of you that think Israel "isn't committing genocide because if they wanted to, they would have dropped a nuke already," shut the fuck up.
The Holocaust lasted for more than a decade (1933-1945), with the first concentration camp being erected on March 22, 1933 at Dachau.

#lmao#if your only way of debating is to ignore a equation by pointing out what the real monsters did#and then calling someone a fucking ghoul#then you are too emotionally immature to be trying to talk about world affairs#that or you are so saturated in the koolaid that you canāt even see that you engage in bad faith#what Hamas did was morally wrong#even if one can claim that Palestinians have a right to self defense dating back to the Nakba#targeting civilians is never acceptable#period#full stop#Hamas has been going after civilians for 30 years#and after Muslim leaders that tried to work with Israel by the way#like yasser fucking Arafat#but you think citing Hamas as a way to move the discussion from the people of the West Bank is helpful? how?#grow the fuck up and learn how to read and comprehend before responding to shit with emotion#this is the kind of intellectual back flipping that makes engaging on this topic so tiresome and boring#if youād like to discuss why the shit happening in the West Bank is acceptable or not Iād like to hear those thoughts#but West Bank Palestinians didnāt invade Israel#Palestinian authority didnāt invade Israel
