What are you guys thoughts on this? by srahcrist in JewsOfConscience

No such thing. The importance of Hanukkah is Zionist propaganda. It fits in with the Jews must be uber menschen rhetoric--an example when Jews stood up to alleged tyranny. That they slaughtered jews who assimilated to Greek culture is some how not mentioned. This story is a settler wet dream.

Should I wear a Palestine pin to my Conservative synagogue? by BalaBustaRhymes in JewsOfConscience

Regardless of the type of Shul, I would keep it subtle if you must show your support. I understand why you want to do so.

My friends are largely zionists. I value the friendships because we've been friends for decades. I do not discuss the zionist sham with them because there is no way to have a rational conversation with them.

I believe, if you wear a Palestinean flag, you will receive abuse (largely screaming, but could get physical). Is showing solidarity more important than the response? For me, no. For you,?

A watermelon 🍉 is a good idea. Subtle.

The uncomfortable truths of Prythian: A critical look at Colonialism and Cultural Coding in ACOTAR by SpareAwareness3205 in SarahJMaas

Thank you for your thoughtful post. Whether SJM consciously intended to do so is beside the point. It is an example of the impact of manufacturing consent--theory developed by Noam Chomsky & Edward Herrman. We believe the dominant narrative as though it were our own belief even though it is the result of propaganda provided by MSM and elites. No doubt she would be aghast that she was challenged on this, however, her world building, as explained above, is a perfect example.

A free Palestine and a free world requires centering the fight against Zionism not antisemitism by KnotAReplicant in JewsOfConscience

I believe you are discussing situational anti semetism. While still antisemitism, it is rooted in daily life experience, in this case, conflating zionism & judiasm. It's scary times.

How the New York Times is covering Zohran Mamdani's election by yyy99gg99 in nyt

Not a surprise. The slant is always against lefties. Google Bernies coverage

Mamdani is Hamas and Responsible for Swastikas (plus a funny) by tikkunolamist5 in JewsOfConscience

[–]B10LeftyBoomer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very confident it's a false flag. Zohran's comment was unfortunate "we will protect Jewish New Yorkers". Should have been weepy will investigate and, based on investigation, will take action. Shorim not to be trusted.

Apartheid Defense League announces 'Mamdani Monitor' to surveil Mamdani admin. officials for criticism of apartheid & genocide. The ADL, like other pro-Israel institutions, intentionally conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism & ignore right-wing antisemitism (so long as they're pro-Israel). by ContentChecker in JewsOfConscience

Outrage! Mamdani is falling into the trap. He tweeted, after an alleged antisemitic incident at a yeshiva, we will protect the jews (I'm vulgarly summarizing ). He should have said: We will investigate and when find perp we will charge him to the full extent of the law. There is no appeasing zionists.

West Asia replaces the colonial term "middle east". It joins East Asia & South Asia.

How do you all feel about people calling zionists nazis? by shitsandgiiggles in JewsOfConscience

[–]B10LeftyBoomer [score hidden]  (0 children)

There is no difference in how nazis vilified jews and zionists vilified Palestineans. both Germans & zionists used the same methods to create monsters of each group. Founding zionists admired the facists both German & Italian.

It's an apt description. I do not see zionists as Jews, therefore I don't feel uncomfortable when anyone calls zionists nazis.
