There’s no putting the “AI” genie back in the bottle. Instead of denying this and expecting abstinence from a technological revolution from regular people at the retail level while every corporation & government adopts it in various ways… I think there’s a serious & growing organic base of regular people, freaked out & ready organize toward regulatory demands & a say in how the stuff is used, esp with public investment.

In a 2023 poll on if “caring about Israel is an essential part of their Jewish Identity” the most popular answer among Jewish NYers under 30:

“Strongly disagree”
jewishdatabank.org/api/download/?…Image Over a THIRD of Jewish NYers under 30 explicitly rejected the idea that “Israel has the right to exist as Jewish State” lol

(despite the leading nature of the question; when polls invite respondents to think more critically about what a “Jewish state” means, the numbers change) Image

🧵 “Chicago Jewish Alliance” popped up right around the time its cofounder got hired at Jewish Institute for Liberal Values (JILV) as Chief Marketing Officer.

JILV was created explicitly to help “organizations & individuals” defeat “Critical Social Justice” Image
Image
CJA seems to have been founded by a handful of 30-something professionals in the suburbs.

Another one of its cofounders (now scrubbed from their site) is Angela Van Der Pluym — a vocal Islamophobic Zionist MAGA troll & close friend of Laura Loomer’s. Image

This practical impact of a couple signs like this at a protest is negligible imo, but I really wish more ppl would develop an analysis that doesn’t end up here. Image Jews & many other peoples historically don’t have a “real home.” If I belong anywhere in the world more than I do in Palestine it’s bc it involves less direct complicity in an active project for ethnic cleansing, not bc that it’s more of a ‘real’ home historically or personally

🧵In light of Israel’s UN meltdown today, here’s a great 1975 article found in Uri Avnery’s HaOlam HaZeh & machine translated:

“ANTISEMITES”

The whole world is against us, as usual. Image The UN institutions made an anti-Semitic decision by a large majority. Adolf Hitler’s spirit is haunting the glass house on the banks of the East River in New York. It’s a fact. So it is written in the press, alongside columns filled with swastikas. Image

lol ok this is a lot but Davidai’s dad appears to have been in business w/ Alan Quasha since he brought Pepsi to Romania w/ Quasha’s money in the early 90s.

(Quasha is a very shady money man w/ ties to Bush, Clinton, the Saudis, US intelligence & the Marcos Dictatorship 🙃)

Paul Vallas fan: is it true that @KimFoxx is a puppet for George Soros' NWO plans to sew chaos?

Paul Vallas: for sure just please vote for me Image More of that chat! Paul Vallas' replies serving as a recruitment zone for antisemitic conspiracy theorists.

He has deliberately cultivated a conspiratorial, far-right fanbase & stoked or — at best turned a blind eye to —unhinged antisemitism all around him. ImageImage
