What a tragedy that we have Bibi as a leader instead of someone like Rabin who could have met this moment.
Do you know if the nations included Iran or Qatar? I have been looking for a list tied to this story but haven’t seen.

And there is an office in the Israeli government that supports trans soldiers who are serving. Both things can be true. Israel is making efforts AND those efforts are imperfect and segments of Israeli society need to progress in their thinking.

Israel isn’t responsible for every action and decision made by the leaders of the Arab nations and the Palestinians. Gaza could have been the first independent Palestinian state. But that’s not what Hamas wanted. They are adults with agency.

He’s a horrible human being who has no place in government. Everything out of his mouth is hate and garbage. Countries across the globe have similar right-wing crazies in office. In the US, they are running the joint.

I’m sure this article is at the same masterful level you typically write at but I do not have either the heart or stomach to read it.

A joke someone told during a synagogue board meeting Q: you know the real definition of antisemitism? A: It’s when you hate Jews more than is *absolutely* necessary.

My dad and I were estranged for the majority of the years between when I was 22 and 54. Then he went to therapy and grew as a person. It’s a gift having him in my life now. These people are actively running away from healing.

So many! Plant supports and ties from ripped stockings, herbs growing in plastic food containers, a decor item from old dishes, cardboard as weed suppression, other cardboard mixed with soil to fill out large pots, gallon milk containers for small cloches, deli containers as mini greenhouses 1/2

Why do you think it is that Russia is occupying Ukraine, committing war crimes, kidnapping Ukrainian children, bombing civilians etc and there is no worldwide movement to hold people of Russian ancestry responsible? Do you think there should be targets on backs worldwide?

The situation could have played out very differently. Look at the map of the Palestinian state that could have existed since 1948.

no agency being assigned to the Palestinians and no awareness of what role the Arab nations attacking the Yishuv in an attempt in to destroy the nascent state played in bringing about the the outcome of the 1948 war.
“We don’t like how you responded to our attempt to murder you all,” basically.

The same objections were raised pre-6 Day War. Prior to Israel holding the West Bank and Gaza. Yes, the current situation is terrible and needs to be solved. But “Israel stops existing” isn’t a real option. And treating the Palestinian like they have no agency and are nothing but victims ain’t it

One video that is 15 years old ≠ an analysis of cultural norms. Trans people serve openly and proudly in the IDF, for example.

the argument about the Israel boils down to “some Arabs don’t want Jews to have a country in their historical homeland, to which they are indigenous.” And frankly, f*ck that. 3/3

And you are missing a whole part of the longing for Zion that isn’t about a messianic age. It’s a religious commandment to live here. There are commandments that can only be done in Israel. It sucks that the two-state solution hasn’t been actualized, but 2/3
