This can’t be papered over

Nasrallah is ON VIDEO jonesing for eschatological war with the Jews

The NYTimes (no reporter apparently willing to put their name on it) characterizes that as calling for “one Palestine with equality for Muslims, Jews & Christians”

Utter Garbage

Fwiw this appears to be the source of the NYTimes’ claim

Fwiw this is my understanding of current israel / iran dynamics

IDF is more or less done militarily in Gaza & now has 3 basic options

1. IDF declares victory and goes home

This is a bad option bc Hamas will also declare victory & will immediately begin to rebuild itself

1/
2. 🇮🇱 makes deal w Hamas along lines of current Biden, where hostages are released & both IDF + Hams leave Gaza

This is best case scenario bc Hamas can’t claim victory. But for that reason Hamas is unlikely to agree

3. 🇮🇱 declare end to major operations in Gaza, but IDF…

@yoshiyahureform @DomesticatedThe @chayykay @Am_Yisroel_Chai As far as I understand it I think I agree with her in part

Or at least in as much as the logic of what she is arguing supports not giving aliyos (as is obviously what should be the case) to cis gay men

@yoshiyahureform @DomesticatedThe @chayykay @Am_Yisroel_Chai If you are mechalel shabbos befarhesia you can’t get an aliya

There is no legitimate argument (I don’t accept the, in my mind disingenuous, “but the sex isn’t in public” line of argument) that cis gay men are somehow halachicly different

i started this over shabbos @ShabbosReads Image early (2 ch. in) review:

i very much appreciated @wrmead's giving some voice to the experience of Mizrahi jews who are often (most recently by the @nytimes) erased

otoh, while i'm reserving judgement, the book doesn't appear to be written for or palatable to folks like me
