The way the "Free Palestine" movement pissed away the ceasefire hating Jews when they could have been pushing for disarming and rebuilding will never not be a travesty and hopefully it will not yet be a tragedy. But, regardless, it is more of the seemingly endless proof of the lack of care and regard for Gazans even from those who claim to be 'on their side', feh.

There's something thats just so incredibly funny about the Afroman lawsuit cause theres literally no substance to it. Seeing all these cops getting upset and offended by Afroman music in a courtroom setting is just so fucking funny. Like a lawyer asking a cop "what private information of yours exactly was breached by the phrase "receding hairline dipshit"?" Like you could have saved yourself the extra humiliation, but instead you guys took it to court and now everyone has seen your sheriff literally break down crying over a song that says she licks pussy. Thats just objectively hilarious
I can't get over this. Afroman releasing individual diss tracks about each of the cops is so good. Cause like its one thing to make one or two songs about the house raid, but then to proceed to make a song called "Randy Walters is a son of a Bitch", call him out by name and say you fucked his wife, and then have that same cop go on court record saying he cannot confirm or deny that he got cucked by Afroman. Like congrats man. Before, everyone just thought he was joking about fucking your wife, but now you wont deny it
the disability community is so unsafe for Jews itās insane. what do you mean I canāt talk to other chronically ill people because theyāre all wrapping themselves in keffiyehs and posting from the river to the sea and saying we donāt have healthcare because of the zios and Israel. what do you mean

Don't point out that your medications are made in Israel, or someone will tell you you're better off not taking your life saving medications because "you're just giving money to the "IOF."
Holy shit I thought you were just making fun of how over-the-top their bullshit is. These people are quite literally beyond parody.
uh ya these people are literally killing themselves to "support palestine" so whats not taking medication to them ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
actual doctors are trying to push a ban on medications made in Israel in Ireland:

Children's doctors. The boycott was originally pushed by doctors at Children's Health Ireland.
I see Ireland loves Hamas so much that they're eager to copy their tactic of "let our own children die to make Israel look bad."
(Yes, they are officially calling to only drop Teva meds where there are alternatives they can switch to, but they've been using the Teva meds for a reason.)

"Wah, why aren't fandoms fun anymore?"
Because you keep policing people's headcanons, making fun of them and calling them horrible things, and on top of that, you're somehow claiming to be a safe space for people to express their creativity, yet turning around and harassing them anyways because you've made a billion exceptions to the "don't police people" rule and you think, like everyone else who's made their own exceptions, that your exceptions justify harassment.
So you're making fandom into a field of rat traps where nobody even dares interact with anyone, or shares art anymore, because you still might just attack them for it because they did something as simple as writing a canonically soft character as... a softie.
Let people do their "cringe" y/a romances, let people do their "gross" ships, let people write those characters as jerks or softies. Let them, and mean it when you say you'll let them, instead of soapboxing about it in a patronizing post but not really meaning what you're soapboxing about.
Seeing excerpts from that Current Affairs article about how Israelis use EDM to deaden themselves emotionally so they can live with themselves as genocidal murderers (if you hadnāt encountered it before, yes really) made me realize that for a sizable (or at least loud) segment of the anti-Israel community is made up of people who believe that Israel is definitionally evil and therefore everything Israel has ever done is evil and done for evil purposes. I mean, how do you even begin to talk to these people?
I know people mean well when they say 'Jews aren't a race, just a religious group!', but in that one sentence you've invalidated the experiences of both non-religious Jews and people who've experienced racially-based antisemitism.
Also it betrays a fundamental misapprehension of race. It treats race as some objective, real category rather than a construct designed to sort people into boxes for the purposes of exploiting them. The idea of race is that some people are biologically suited to oppression. Racial categories donāt really correspond well to ancestry, ethnicity, and has no meaningful, well-defined category bc itās fake. Race isnāt some real, physiologic difference that people decided was worth oppressing over, it was a justification created ad hoc for the purposes of enabling exploitation and colonization. They used the different features as pretext, the features alone are not what race is. Race is determined by how the system of racial oppression sorts you and it sorts Jews as a race.
The other problem I have with people trying to box Jews into a "religion" category and ignoring ethnic peoplehood is that it then makes it easy to criticize Jews as simply having a belief system they could choose to abandon and then they wouldn't be Jews anymore. And for people who are anti-religion, who believe "religion causes all the world's problems," etc., categorizing Jews as only a religion means if you hate religion it's okay to hate Jews.
Yeah. They want to define not just Zionism, but Judaism itself as "just" a philosophy that one can, and in their view even should, abandon without losing anything else.
A very progressive group at my college just posted an infographic that states ā Zionists believe that Jewish people are indigenous to Israelā and I am losing my shit.
They said this in a post including that itās okay to kill Zionists and they explicitly support all armed resistance
This is quite something. This is really quite the situation.
wtf this is actually insane. this is... i dont even know what to say or how to describe it. its just... I cant quite believe this is what American colleges are coming to...
As a high schooler applying for colleges next year, this isn't making me too excited to go to college at all.
"Zionists believe in historical fact" is a fascinating new reason to hate Zionists
āThis is why these conversations are impossible. You keep retreating into facts.ā
They described it as āa safe space for difficult conversations.ā What they really wanted was an Israeli who would sit quietly and confess.
I'm in awe that they think the BBC, of all media, is "justifying" it. The BBC is so institutionally antisemitic that they were repeatedly offered free resources--workshops, educational programs, etc--on how to be LESS antisemitic, and they turned the offers down every time.

You hear the quote "they move millions in dark money to preserve their power and turn us against each other" and think it's from Nazi Germany or the KKK, but no! It's mayor of the most Jewish city in the diaspora Zohran Mamdani!

I think it is super fucking important that the source be easily findable and checkable.
Because Iran is paying for Wikipedia to be scrubbed. My blog isn't scrubbed.
I also archived this article in the Wayback Machine and Archive.is in the event that something happens to the article. Because again, history is being changed in front of our eyes. So.
To clarify for anyone who in good faith does not understand what is wrong with that quote, it is chock full of dog whistles and conspiracy thinking that may not readily be understood by the casual observer but are easily understood by white supremacists and other antisemites, signaling to them that Mamdani dislikes Jews just as much as they do:
"dark money": "Dark money" technically refers to untraceable or difficult to trace political donations. AIPAC's donations are all out in the open. It does not in any way fit the literal definition of "dark money". What Mamdani appears to be saying here is that the money itself is "dark" or evil because AIPAC (associated with Israel and Jews) has (metaphorically) touched it.
"single goal, to preserve their power": Mamdani frames AIPAC as uninterested in specific policy or political changes--the usual reason that PACs exist. He accuses them instead of being interested in power for power's sake, which it will use to undermine the health of society. He implies a contrast with himself and the DSA, whose intentions are painted as good and pure and whose goals are implied to to hinge on creating specific political and policy changes, with any interest in gaining power merely a side effect or dirty necessity of achieving such goals. In other words, he is taking an organization that is doing the exact same things that his own organization is doing, and painting it as uniquely evil. Mamdani tends to reserve this kind of rhetoric for organizations associated with Israel and, by extension, Jews.
"turn us against each other"--this accusation makes little sense. AIPAC is an organization focused on American-Israeli relations. It has no interest in tearing apart American society. However, Jews have long been accused of trying to undermine the coherence and well-being of the societies in which they live. It is not a factual statement, but an accusation built on and promoting distrust and scapegoating of Jews.
"moral change"--this statement puts AIPAC in opposition to "moral change" and morality in general. It build on and feeds into centuries of Christian and Muslim antisemitism painting Jews as immoral, scheming, an operatives of the devil.
"we all know"--Here, Mamdani delineates an ingroup ("we") with special knowledge ("we all know"). This is the language of conspiracy theorists. It is clear that by saying "we all" he does not mean all Americans or all New Yorkers; he is specifically delineating "we" from "AIPAC,' "our leaders," anyone who sympathizes with or supports them, and those who disagree with AIPAC and "our leaders" but trust that they are operating in good faith. AIPAC and "our leaders" are painted as beholden to foreign interests (understood here as Israeli and Jewish), while "we all" are the morally pure individuals who understand the evil nature of this Israeli-Jewish threat.

Candyland 1984/1997 board
DYK that's was the point of the game? It was invented by Eleanor AbbottĀ for children hospitalized with polio. The disease would effect mobility among other things so Candyland focused instead on bright colors and engaging illustrations rather than complicated gameplay to encourage the imagination of bedbound children. This post, and this comment, is a testament to Abbots genius in when she made this game.
Although Candy Land started in a polio ward, its connection to the infamous disease was kept secret for 50 years. Its steady rise in popular

How Wikipedia defines Zionism has significantly changed over the years. This has contributed to the misunderstanding of what Zionism actually is.
Just look at how it's described in 2026 (now), in 2016, in 2006 and in 2004 (below the cut).
the āsourcesā for some of the most extreme & totalizing claims on the page are literally just a small handful of people claiming this or that is what Zionists wanted, repeating a buzzphrase with almost the exact same wording, and not citing evidence from the mouths of Zionists themselves that they wanted that.
one of said sources, Rashid Khalidi, is a former PLO spokesperson. like, actively produced propaganda in an official capacity for the PLO.
another of the sources claims that āas many Jews, and as few Palestinian Arabs as possibleā was a position that āenjoyed the unanimous support of Zionists of all inclinationsā (emphasis my own), which is justā¦ an utterly batshit and easily-disproven statement for anyone who has ever met a Zionist (or for that matter, a Jew) or read the writings of the early Zionists.
at best the most extreme claims get a [ disputed - discuss ] slapped on as a band-aid, but I have seen much better-sourced edits to significantly less impactful pages removed far faster for far less. there is no reason claims that easily debunked or from a PLO propagandist should even be considered.
In broad daylight.
It's worth pointing out that Israel has more Arabs, with more guaranteed rights, than Palestine has Jews.
Israel has more Arabs than every Arab and Muslim country put together has Jews. Actually Israel has more Arabs than every country except Israel and the US put together has Jews.

You'd think that having made almost zero progress on your goal of freeing Palestine and instead achieving new and still rising, highs of antisemitism across the globe would make the "I'm antizionist not antisemitic" crowd rethink their approach of activism for Palestine. But alas, that hasn't happened because not all, but a substantial amount of the aforementioned crowd of people actually have harming jews as their real goal.
The entire movement has NEVER been about Palestinians. Palestinians are a tool used to promote hatred of Jews. That's all Palestinians are to these people.
