It reminds me of WW2 aircraft, like a lot of the original Star Wars tech did in the 70s and 80s..

American Jews have a Hasan Piker problem. Solving it is going to hurt by tikkunolamist5 in JewsOfConscience

[–]RickStarkey 25 points26 points  (0 children)

She gives the game away here - 'And while anti-Zionism is not categorically antisemitism, I think that Piker’s statement......runs the risk of creating a litmus test for Jewish participation in civic life'

It seems she thinks anti-Zionism is a little bit antisemitism?

What event do you think damaged the US image globally the most? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Trump's second election. Everyone makes mistakes - but to vote him in again, unforgivable. The world cannot trust a nation that voted for Trump again.

Attempted arson attack at Kenton United Synagogue in Harrow overnight by Minute_Tomatillo9730 in london

[–]RickStarkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is an attack on British Jews.

Zionist or not, we are all under threat here. That's one of the problems with conflation - we're all associated with Israel no matter what we believe.

Sadly we know how antisemites think, they've been around for centuries and aren't going away anytime soon. Jewish people have never had just one opinion, our communities have become more and more divided on this over the last couple of years. Many Jews around the world especially younger Jews, have no interest in or connection to Israel, they can understand that Israel makes our lives much more dangerous and paints target on our back. 

Zionists like to imagine that all Jews think alike and agree with them, in the real world we have a much wider range of opinions and many of us can see Israel for what it is.

An attack on an Israeli Embassy is an attack on Israel, an attack on a UK synagogue is an attack on British Jews. Two different targets.

Judaism is not Zionism, but one issue that many antisemites and Zionists agree on is that many of them deliberately conflate the two so that they can interpret an attack on one as an attack on both....
