145.02/ I'm trying to catch up on all the fun I missed over Shabbas.
145.03/ Ya know how you used to believe in [literal and/or impossible thing about fundamental aspects of life] when you were a kid but then discovered the truth as you got older & more educated? Well the M*sk/Tr*mp years showed us many adults have never reached that milestone.
Israel sequentially commemorates the Holocaust, Israeli soldiers, and the creation of the state, promoting false Zionist narratives that:
1) The Holocaust justifies the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
2) Jews need a militarized, colonial, apartheid state to keep us safe.

Israeli leaders intentionally designed the sequence of these fabricated, secular holidays, timing them to fall just after Passover on the Jewish calendar.
First, Israel uses Passover to establish a mythical pattern of Jewish history as recurring cycles of oppression and freedom.

Then, the holidays between Passover and "Independence Day" secularize and modernize Passover's oppression-to-freedom story.
Each year, they tell Israelis that Jews, especially in diaspora, are doomed to persecution — but a Jewish apartheid state with a strong army can save us.

94.02/ Health update: still no symptoms from my bout with COVID except for general irritability but it's impossible to know if it's different from my normal state. Isolation is lonely (big, if true) but my overall emotion is fear of making someone else sick. Dread is the worst.

38.03/ The wisdom/motivation of changing the name associated with your group depends on who gave the name in the first place.
If the majority imposed the original name: understandable way to reframe stigma
If you chose the original name: you're not fooling anybody prunes

The #Hebrew word for "independence" comes from a root for "strength," by way of the word "bone."
Let me explain. ʕṢM is the root of "strength, power, superpower, enormous," and also Etsem, "bone." I guess that meaning 1/2

comes from the strength of bones.
This word also developed the meaning of "essence, self," bc bones are the essense of the body (as in, "in my bones", be'Atsmi = "myself"). Then came the word atsma'UT, "independence," i.e., reliance on oneself. 2/2
