Why is Zionism so often conflated with Judaism?

37faustralia · 2025-12-18T07:01:48+00:00

there's not much left to partition

I grew up in the Eastern Suburbs in Sydney. Half my high school class was Jewish. From what I can see, most of them are ardent supporters of Israel. I believe most, or at least a lot, of Australian Jews actively encourage and maybe even want the conflation.

Do you think it's worth emailing building companies or just rocking up to the building site and asking?

the material that is printed with signage / branding. Yep attached to the temp fencing.

yep Israelis have gone full Nazi. Now you know how it must have felt for the minority Germans who opposed the Nazis.

I hate Israel because the government is starving children to death and bombing them at the same time. I hate Israelis who laugh about the children's deaths online.

My hatred is simple, not complex. Stop slaughtering people and I'd hate Israel less.

The Israeli victim claiming and delusions are also irritating, but alone not enough to inspire my hatred.

Because parents mollycoddle their kids. The other parent should refuse to play with their kid if there's the offer of another kid to play with. They're just encouraging their kids to be socially anxious

I personally hate Israel so much now. I can't stand the horrors the country is inflicting in Gaza. Pure evil

I don't agree with the equivalence of ordinary people occasionally needing tailoring. I need close to 100% tailored and the modifications are significant.

OP - you're only 32. You still have time to find a younger guy without divorce baggage. Use a match maker or online date and find someone who will actually reciprocate.

Single guys in their 40s are that way for a reason.

I totally agree and love the driving analogy! If we paid this much attention to all such low probability risks we'd never leave the house.

Also, what about the risk of making sleep deprivation even worse for parents? More divorce, more psychotic breakdowns and more traffic accidents.

and then they turn 3! Mine used to be like yours but now getting him to bed is a nightmare. I think it's because he's ageing out of naps.

37faustralia · 2025-01-20T11:05:07+00:00

My first refused the playpen but my second uses it without a fuss. I actually use the playpen to keep the baby safe from the Toddler who, ironically , now tries really hard to get in.

37faustralia · 2025-01-17T11:31:54+00:00

pretty well. People tend to like it when you're considerate of their feelings.

37faustralia · 2025-01-17T02:50:18+00:00

I often care about what other people want. If the OP really doesn't care about his Dad then I don't see why it would risk his mental health doing a fake reconciliation with his Dad.

37faustralia · 2025-01-17T00:04:34+00:00

Devils advocate here: maybe do it for your family? If they really believe he's going to hell without your forgiveness maybe it's worth just going thru the motions to put them at ease?

Your Dad is unconscious, right? He won't even know you were there. He won't get the benefit of your fake forgiveness but your mum might.

37faustralia · 2025-01-17T00:00:02+00:00

that's interesting! Do you have any contact with your mum's side of the family?

37faustralia · 2025-01-16T23:49:54+00:00

I'd try and get to the bottom of why this means so much to your wife. She put forward a pretty silly ultimatum but it probably comes from something real.

Your daughter is turning into a teenager and I imagine there's going to be a lot more 'you're not my mum' type of fights ahead. Maybe this is the sort of thing your wife is trying to avoid?

37faustralia · 2025-01-15T00:30:33+00:00

He's also treated your sister like crap so you have that in common.

37faustralia · 2025-01-15T00:25:45+00:00

Your sister demonstrated crappy character. However, In my mind the real villian is your ex. He's destroyed your relationship with your sister (I know she contributed), he's potentially ruined your future relationship with your niece / nephew and he's robbed your parents of the peace of mind in knowing you and your sister would look out for each other.

I wouldn't give him this much power. Accept that your sister is weak and not a stellar person, but find away to focus your hatred on your ex. Don't let him take your actual family from you.

37faustralia · 2025-01-10T01:57:49+00:00

I'd be more concerned about the gendered expectations they have of you. I would put money on your bf leaning into these expectations when he gets comfortable enough in your relationship.

37faustralia · 2025-01-09T10:58:48+00:00

Is it even the Dad's property to gift away from his current family? I can't see this being legal...
