There's a phenomenon on Twitter where non-Jews pretend to be Jews.
Must admit, though, that this is comedic perfection. ImageImage
"I'm so Jewish that I'm a self-described non-Jew who doesn't know what 'todah' means and is clueless about when a Jew might reasonably say the word 'Torah.'
"Great job!"
"Torah."

"Nice shoes."
"Talmud to you, good sir."

"Thanks for a delicious breakfast."
"The shema."
"Bevakasha."

"Bhagavad gita* I'm not Jew and even I know how to spell it correctly."

 "Iron Dome" means "Preventing Hamas rockets from hitting their Jewish, civilian targets." For clarity, let's replace the proper noun in some of these tweets. E.g.

"Preventing rockets from hitting their Jewish, civilian target perpetuates conflict & injustice." Image
2/
 "Beth Miller, Jewish Voice for Peace Action’s Government Affairs Manager, told Jewish Currents, that preventing Hamas rockets from hitting their Jewish, civilian targets would not be included. 'No progressive should support this.'" Image
3/
"I'm glad funding for Israel preventing Hamas rockets from hitting their Jewish, civilian targets got removed from the NDAA!" Image

For the sake of clarity, let's put aside anything about the debt ceiling and note:

1) Israel's Iron Dome is a defensive anti-rocket system that saves innocent lives by SHOOTING WAR CRIMES OUT OF THE AIR.
2) As a bonus, the ability to shoot down Hamas's indiscriminate rockets often lessens the need for, or intensity of, an Israeli response to those attacks. The calculations are very different if a random rocket gets shot down vs if a Hamas rocket lands kills a family.
3) This part is mind-reading, but I'll do it: Those certain House "progressives" who made news today in relation to the Iron Dome are opposed to Israel having that ability. If they could push a button and make the Iron Dome systems disappear, they would. That's gross and immoral

1/ I've mentioned that it seems odd for @JeremyBenAmi to talk of recognizing Israel while his own organization plugs the idea of a Palestinian "right of return." But that's not all. On Instagram, his @jstreetu shared a plug for hate-filled, anti-Zionist extremists.
2/ Electronic Intifada—named after a campaign of violence targeting Jewish civilians—argues Zionism is like Nazism, calls Israel a "psychotic apartheid settler-colony," defends Hamas violence, and peddles lies. @JeremyBenAmi's @jstreetu wants people to think they're "credible."
3/ Here's Mohammed El Kurd claiming Jews gathered at the Western Wall are actually preparing to "invade" the Al Aqsa mosque. . His contribution to the discourse: "fuck israel & fuck aipac & fuck zionism." He says all Zionists are "pro-genocide." Etc, etc.

BDS: We want to get rid of Israel.
NYT: Right, you want to end the occupation.
BDS: No, we said *all* of Israel.
NYT: Oh, sorry. BDS wants to end the occupation.
BDS: NO! We demand to replace the Jewish state with a Palestinian one.
NYT: Occupation?
BDS: End Isra–
NYT: …pation!
In the replies, someone does exactly what the NYT does. 1) They ignore BDS's 3rd demand, a so-called right of return that proponents openly acknowledge is meant to end Israel. And 2) they ignore admissions by BDS leaders themselves about their goal.

Why?
3/ "To put it quite clearly, the intention is the extermination of Israel," a foreign minister of Egypt once explained about a "return."

Thread: A list of @nytimes euphemisms relating to anti-Jewish violence:

1. Deadly attacks on Jewish civilian farmers are called "resistance." camera.org/article/the-ny…
2. Rocket attacks on Israeli civilians, and sniper attacks on Israeli soldiers, are characterized as expressions of Palestinian "impatience" with Israel. camera.org/article/in-ny-…
3. Hamas rockets that target and successfully kill Jewish civilians are called "stray rockets," as if they misfired and unintentionally struck their target. camera.org/article/in-ny-…

Here's something we as a society are going to have to internalize and accept in order to right the ship:

You might be boycotted and protested for NOT behaving in a bigoted manner. When that happens, it says something about the protesters, not about you.

eatuptheborders.com/our-statement.…
Case in point will be this: Eat Up the Borders will take fire for their (appropriate and needed) apology.

Don't be Rutgers:
3/ Speaking of Don't be Rutgers:

I struggle to understand why the EUTB statement apologizes, also, to the Palestinian community.

Had they disinvited a Palestinian food truck because activists were mad at the PA, the, yes, absolutely apologize the the Palestinian community.
