in 1933, the zionist movement made a pact with the nazi government to actively disrupt the international boycott of germany set into motion by jewish leftists in exchange for construction and farming equipment to build up jewish settlements in palestine. Image when it came to rescuing jews from europe and hitler's tightening grip, the zionists focused on saving the young and physically fit who could fight, farm, and build. they saw other jews, in particular the old, infirm, and orthodox, as liabilities.

the basic principle of civil libertarianism is you should be free to do as you please as long as you don't harm the person or property of a nonconsenting other. in other words, as long as you don't hurt anyone or their stuff without permission, it's nobody's business what you do. christian nationalism upends this principle by asserting that the public expression of non-christian-conforming belief and behavior is a violation of christians' consent. it is an absurd contention: "i do not consent to your existence nor individual freedom of expression."

caught another 12-hour suspension for "hateful conduct" because i told a non-jew who was casting doubt on my jewishness to "shut the fuck up goy." Image this is a couple of days after i was suspended for "violent speech" because i told a guy who repeatedly called me a kapo to "eat shit and die"

Abbott effectively said that white Jews pass for white and therefore aren’t subject to the kind of discrimination that Black people suffer, and she isn’t entirely wrong, but Orthodox Jews are routinely targeted for their appearance, though generally no longer by the state. Her position on “white passing” could have been more delicately phrased and taken into account the historical persecution of the groups she identified, but the outsized reaction is typical white fragility at criticism of systemic racism and opportunistic anti-Labour politicking.

if you ever asked yourself what you would do if you were alive when the nazis started coming for people, your opportunity to find out is right now and your response to the attacks on trans people is your answer i’m sorry it hurts so many of your feelings to hear that you share an ideology and legal strategy with the nazis but you do and you can go cry about it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paragraph…

Has the anti-woke backlash concerning the race of a fairy in a literal fucking fairy tale started yet I feel like the studios have it down to a science at this point. They put a person of color in a role typically played by a white person, and then the racist backlash begins which ultimately drives spite-purchases of tickets because ya gotta show up the bigots.

paying for twitter is a conservative buycott in favor of a transphobic dipshit who was successfully sued for discriminating against black employees so, yeah, anyone who doesn't pay for it is at the very least better than the people who do

If Israeli elections were held tomorrow, Yesh Atid would gain nine seats in the Knesset. Yair Lapid would become PM. He opposes the creation of a contiguous Palestinian state overseeing its own security with East Jerusalem as its capital and the Palestinian right of return. "The true allies for the international left and for the Palestinian people" are the ones who want Palestinians to continue living in an Israeli-administered prison-state. 👌

The Yiddish word for "sucker," commonly used as an insult in Israel, is "freier." The worst thing you can possibly be in Israel is someone else's freier. Anyone who still believes the 2 state solution is on the table is a freier. You're either fighting apartheid or preserving it.

imagine thinking people are protesting state institutions and the liberal world order and not the fact that those state institutions and the world order are captive to extractive capitalism that impoverishes the working class no one is protesting the existence of government and liberalism, they’re protesting the fact that neither work for them

The British policy towards African refugees is comparable to the attitude of Germany towards Jewish refugees in the early 20th century. That doesn’t mean Britain is carrying out its own Holocaust, but that there are echoes of the past in the present that lead to uglier things. in case it wasn’t clear i was agreeing with nadine
