My mum just sent this article to me. As an anti-Zionist Jew who grew up in the US, it very much resonates:

Two years after the 7 October massacre and the onset of Israel’s slaughter in Gaza, American Jewry has been profoundly transformed

I’m old enough to remember when there was a pandemic, the Australian borders closed, and when stuff reopened after lockdowns there were massive staff shortages in all sorts of industries (especially hospitality and agriculture) because of the lack of immigrants.

I remember when we learned about the Great Molasses Flood of 1919 in school. Local Massachusetts history.

And this:

‘the debate that raged in America over the protesters who chanted “from the river to the sea” disintegrated, for me, into farce. There is a single sovereign between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea and every checkpoint and road closure was a reminder of who it is.’

This article nails it.

I’m one of those Jews with ‘liberal Zionist parents whose kids took the social justice values seriously and emerged as anti-Zionists.’

Touched every time I see these memorials to the disappeared in Argentina. Never again means never again for anyone.

Me siento emocionado cada vez q veo los monumentos conmemorativos a los desaparecidos en Argentina. Nunca más significa nunca más por todos.

Today I learned that the word ‘scrimmage’ is very American and generally is not used in Australia outside of ice hockey circles.

20+ years here and still learning the language 😂.

At ACU they restructured Level C from 6 to 4 steps in one of the EAs. So Level B was 6 increments and C & D were 4.

Male. Applied early for Level C during my 4th year at B, after I won my first ARC grant.

Applied for D and E during the 4th year at each level, when I was at the top of the bands.

For all promotion rounds I was encouraged by colleagues and supervisors, male and female.
