Those who study history are doomed to watch others repeat it. (Side Note: I am the type of person who has a FAVORITE Gentileschi "Judith Beheading Holofernes" painting, Make of that what you will)

Don't DEMAND a private chatlink with me; I'll block you. Especially if you try to make my husband's computer security worries sound like insecure jealousy.

Just as we've been saying. WEHERE ARE THE STARVING PALESTINIANS? (FTR, I am absolutely certain they were starving the children for photo ops)

Yeah, THIS is why we have to #voteblue

(Remember, your elected officials are as far left as we allow them to be...)

Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "

Trees in three national forests in Oregon will be auctioned off for logging by the end of the month, even though the federal workers preparing these timber sales are not getting paid and many of their colleagues in the U.S. Forest Service are furloughed.

Logging in national forests in Oregon continues, despite government shutdown

The U.S. Forest Service plans to auction off trees in the Deschutes, Wallowa-Whitman and Umatilla national forests by the end of the month.

You noticed that, too, eh?

CAVEMEN!

My son-in-law does this, but, given his childhood, I can't blame him.... (Parents who couldn't cook AND who limited mealtimes...)

Flavia Elphberg @flaviaelphberg.bsky.social · 15h

Yeah, but he's totally not an antisemite, right? RME

Flavia Elphberg @flaviaelphberg.bsky.social · 17h

I noticed that, too.

Flavia Elphberg @flaviaelphberg.bsky.social · 17h

This is my thought, too.

The American Jewish Congress. *They* are *obviously* the ones lying about Zionism because THEY have an axe to grind - not her or her "many Jewish friends".

Flavia Elphberg @flaviaelphberg.bsky.social · 17h

& this is why they hate us. A lot of them seriously believe it.

Bluesky is swarming with antisemitism. As a retired educator, I'm here in part to educate, knowing most people are mired in their viewpoints and unreachable. But if I can reach just a few, and prod a bit more than a few to think critically rather than following their herd, then progress is made.

Jew-haters always parrot the same BS, but some of them go a little beyond. "IN THE PAY OF BIBI"? I would laugh, but this jerk is serious.

It'll be a long time before I 'have a beautiful day'. I will 1st have to come to terms with the fact that bastards in the pay of Bibi are trying to whitewash a genocide. A real time slaughter/torture of 2 million human beings for the last 2 years. 'Beautiful days' are way beyond most decent ppl

"In the pay of Bibi"? Thanks for confirming my observations above & beyond the normal amount for you Jew-haters #antisemitsm #jewsky

Flavia Elphberg @flaviaelphberg.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, they can't help it. It's ingrained in them.

Flavia Elphberg @flaviaelphberg.bsky.social · 1d

You know the REAL proof of how big a liar you are is? The fact that you're not happy about the cease-fire. Shove your lies, shove your arrogance & definitely shove your projecting.

Flavia Elphberg @flaviaelphberg.bsky.social · 1d

Oh, shove your lying crocodile tears. Sideways. You Jew-haters do not get to redefining Zionism, much less as a fig leaf for your #antisemitism. #jewsky

Flavia Elphberg @flaviaelphberg.bsky.social · 1d

Yup.

Flavia Elphberg @flaviaelphberg.bsky.social · 1d

I live in DC if you need anything.

Flavia Elphberg @flaviaelphberg.bsky.social · 1d

CORE? I wouldn't say *core*. But our yearning for Zion is threaded through our beliefs & our culture. I'd say that forgetting that is at least as bad as replacing "supporting Israel" for our religion.

Flavia Elphberg @flaviaelphberg.bsky.social · 1d

So sorry you have to do this; so grateful you can save yourselves.
