Raise your hand if you never thought Diane Keaton would leave us before Nicholson or Beatty did.

What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

I guess I can see that - but they are both Oscar-nominated actors!

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

After swearing off Woody Allen films several years ago, I broke down recently and rewatched Annie Hall. It's still a masterpiece. (yes, that's a very inconvenient truth, but his innovations are undeniable).
He wrote the perfect role for Diane Keaton.
RIP to a brilliant weirdo

Diane Keaton in her Manhattan apartment with Buster, an Abyssinian, photographed by Jill Krementz in 1977

black & white photograph of young Diane Keaton smiling and standing next to a white refrigerator in a barren-looking kitchen. her cat Buster is crouched on top of the fridge playing with/swatting her hair in the upper right hand corner. she's wearing a long skinny white scarf with a dot-grid pattern, a high-neck white blouse with an ascot/kerchief around the neck, and a black blazer/skirt or blazer dress over what looks like a vest

Another thing: this is just ONE group. If people actually read the piece, a deep dive, they will find out about the millions and millions of dollars many evangelical churches are raising for Israel and Zionism.
It goes FAR beyond 10 million evangelical Christians.

Right. I don’t think we can let all Jews off the hook. But American Jewish opinion is far more divided than most people understand.

“The message that Christian Zionist leaders are giving their followers is simple: Their donations are part of a divine plan. As Florida pastor and Latino Coalition for Israel head Mario Bramnick put it at an event in Jerusalem earlier this year, “I literally feel God is giving Israel a blank check.”

“Donald Trump told an Israeli journalist, ‘Evangelical Christians love Israel more than Jews in this country.’”

For once he told the truth!

Wow, now this is new information to me. Christian evangelicals appropriating Jewish rituals.

Some Christian Zionists aspire to be more than just an ATM for Israel and proIsrael causes, even adopting Jewish rituals and culture. At the church services and prayer rallies I have attended, appropriation is omnipresent. Attendees wear Jewish prayer shawls and Stars of David. They blow shofars, the rams’ horns that ancient Israelites used to alert the community to threats and are now used ceremonially during the High Holy Days. Some bow back and forth, as though they are engaged in the Jewish prayer practice of davening. At one event, I watched a group of Christian teenagers dance the hora. Many evangelical churches now host Passover Seders; some celebrate Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. A book by the late Charlie Kirk about why he celebrates the Jewish Sabbath will be published posthumously at the end of this year; two months ago, he hosted Eckstein on his show.

“Christians United for Israel, the evangelical Zionist group founded by Texas pastor John Hagee, claims 10 million members, more than the entire population of 7.5 million Jews in the United States.”

I wish more people knew this.

God's "blank check": Christian Zionists are pouring billions of dollars into Israeli extremism

Evangelicals have become Israel's most important American allies.

Here's a neat trick they teach in authoritarianism school: If you purge the people who measure the effects of your policies (BLS, MMWR), you can just claim everything's great, and nobody can prove how much damage you're doing.
