so this is insane
Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada is failing Jewish Canadians and the community is being brutally targeted by hate.
Damn that's crazy.
Unrelated, but what does the S in BDS stand for again?

I'll never be that far away đ¤
FUCK SHIT UP
Wow I canât believe Graham Platner has more scandals coming out. Who could have ever guessed that would happened
âSJP chapters are independent & autonomousâ
And? So is the Klan.
The âautonomous cellâ structure is in fact incredibly common among hate groups & extremist organizations for exactly this reason.
Neo-Nazis use it. Terrorist organizations use it. For the same reason White Supremacist violence usually takes the form of âLone Wolfâ attacks.
Itâs an entirely intentional & incredibly effective tactic for vast radicalization networks to isolate and limit responsibility for the inevitable fallout of their rhetoric & actions.
By now you might have seen some reports of SJP at University of Colorado Boulder celebrating the murder of 82 year old Karen Diamond. Here are some screenshots of the statement (that is still available on their website whose url is visible in the screenshots):
Theyâre disturbing so hereâs a line break
Update- I can no longer find this statement on SJPâs website.
Update 2- To be clear, the statement is definitely still up at the link bouldersjp.neocities.org/mohamed, but I canât navigate to it from their homepage.
In case they do take it down, I have downloaded the statement in full.
This is absolutely unacceptable speech from students enrolled in any university, and itâs even more disturbing that professors who condone this statement are teaching classes.
Let me know if you guys find an email campaign floating around asking UC Boulder to take action against the students and faculty responsible. Iâve searched but canât find anything.

I went to kabbalat shabbat at an Aussie shul (reform) for the first time last week. After services, in addition to challah and pastries and tiny glasses of wine, they had hard liquor (gin, vodka, and scotch) which I have never seen before at an American shul. Is this an Aussie thing? Did I just go to square shuls in the US? Is it more common in other denominations?
Does your synogogue normally provide hard liquor at the oneg?
yes
no
show results
I thought about trying to divide results by region or flavor of judaism but it seemed to complicated. Lmk in the replies or comments.
What American shuls are you going to where they *don't* have hard liquor???? For context I'm Orthodox, pretty much every Orthodox shul I've ever been to (and they've all been in either the US or Israel) has had hard liquor available during Kiddush. Some shuls would have more or less than others, some would advertise it more or less than others, but they'd all have l'chaims available if you wanted some.
That'd be the kiddush club yeah
It is not the fault of the United States that you don't care about and have never bothered researching your own country's queer history. The United States did not come to the government of New Zeland with guns and ships and force them to make pride month in June for some reason. That was you guys that was a you guys decision. It's also a you guys decision if you want to change it. You guys are embarrassing yourselves.
Non Americans when confronted by the fact that they willingly abandoned their own culture and history in exchange for McDonald's without any military intervention or organized government pressure on behalf of the United States at all:
just saw a 'comments' tab on someones blog you know where the following and likes tabs would be if enabled and it was just showing all the replies theyve made on peoples posts. this is fascinating when did this feature come out
EMERGENCY - ITS AUTO ENABLED!
if you've made replies on posts there is now a tab on your blog showing every post youve replied to and your reply.
if this is not what you want, either go to your blog and click comments and disable it from there or just go to your individual blogs setting pages. just change it from blue to grey if you dont want everyone to see your replies AND the post you're replying to
PLEASE BE ADVISED that it is set to disabled for blogs that have not made any replies but it will turn ON if you reply with that blog in the future.! i just tested it with my main, which was greyed out but it turned on the moment i left a test reply
figured i'd get the word out bc i have not seen a single mention of this and i'm sure there are plenty of people who maybe comment on things they don't want on display for everyone to see on their blog lol. you can still look at your replies with it toggled off just no one else can, like locking the following and likes list
i would like to remind everyone smugly using "usamerican" that you are not being woke or reclaiming anything you just don't understand how adjectives or languages work
It's not a problem that a word means different things in different languages. That's what languages are. It's fine. The person suggesting Yankee as a blanket replacement clearly has some interesting and terrible racial politics that they're refusing to interrogate. How do you people live like this
his death is still fresh but losing my grandfather has made me realize that we are losing generation(s) of witnesses of a period in jewish history that we desperately need to preserve. and i know we say that about shoah survivors but the generation(s) of jews that were quickly and violently ethnically cleansed from SWANA are unfortunately leaving this world too, and so are their stories. but their experiences? they have looked islamism right in the face â and they can recognize as we experience it today; itâs repeating itself and spreading beyond the region because we are not in their countries to be their scapegoats this time.
my grandfather, after 10/7/2023, would watch the news and lament, âweâre cousins, our people are cousinsâ at the unfolding violence. and he would also shake his head at the ceasefires, negotiations, and diplomacy, and he would throw his hands up at the accusations of genocide, ethnic cleansng, starvation, intentional targeting etc because he knew, he KNEW, he experienced firsthand, exactly what israel and other minorities in the region are dealing with â including persians â to this day. it hasnât truly changed at its root, at all.
we are losing that testimony, that valuable and irreplaceable knowledge, too. itâs not just my grandfather, unfortunately, and iâm desperate to find more ways to preserve it while we can.

Tomorrow is Farhud Day, the day marking the violent ethnic cleansing of Iraqi Jews in 1941, equivalent to Kristallnacht and the Holocaust.
There used to be thousands of Jews in Iraq. The ancient Talmudic centers of Surah and Pumbedita were in Iraq. Jews in Iraq, and indeed most of the world, had never been treated as equal citizens, being subject to Dhimmi laws, but still the Iraqi Jewish culture flourished.
Today, it is estimated that there are only four Jews left in Iraq. Four Jews.
The Iraqi Jewish community is one of the oldest Jewish communities outside of Israel, and it was razed to the ground.
If you talk about the Holocaust but don't talk about the multiple ethnic cleansings and genocides of Jews in the SWANA region, you are being deliberately ignorant and antisemitic.
My ancestors lived and died and were buried in Iraq but I can't visit their hometowns and gravesites because they're all gone.
Remember Iraq's Jews.
Was going to add this to a post I saw (the gist being a rebuttal of antizionist âseparating Jews from Israelâ talking points), but the app refreshed when I came back and now I canât find the original post lol
A lot of people seem to not grasp that just because things are âdifferentâ or conceptually distinct doesnât mean theyâre entirely separate or inherently unrelated, where any relation between them is entirely arbitrary & artificial.
Are there distinctions between Jews, the state of Israel, and the land of Israel? Yes. But the relationship between these things has so much overlap that you cannot honestly fully separate them.
If I had to visualize it as a Venn diagram, it might look something like this.
Eretz Yisrael is incredibly important to Jewish history & Jewish religion, and half of all Jews reside there, as citizens of Medinat Yisrael (where most of its population is Jews, and the makeup of its government reflects that), which represents the most substantial embodiment of Am Yisraelâs political autonomy at present or in the last two millenniaâwhich is very clearly necessary with the amount of violence Jews faceâand whose borders encompass most of Eretz Yisrael.
The historical boundaries of the land of Israel are not 1-for-1 with the modern state of Israelâs borders; there are plenty of Israelis who arenât Jews, including in the government; there are Jews living in the diaspora; some of them do not care for the state of Israel at all. So yes, these three things are different ideas. But that doesnât change the fact that they are still tightly related in every direction, and the exceptions are statistical outliers, not normative.
Itâs not that we are âconflatingâ these things; itâs that they are intrinsically blended concepts with inherent heavy overlap.
what this does not mean is that âany criticism of Israel is inherently antisemiticâ nor that âall Jews are complicitâ when Israel does something wrong.
what it does mean is that attacking Israelâs very existence as a Jewish state is an attack on Jewish political autonomy, that âcriticismsâ of its government which employ tropes historically used against the Jewish people are still targeting Jews with antisemitic tropes, which is antisemitic, and that Jews have every reason to call that out for what it is when they see it.
