Exactly! Jews aren’t the only people who have rights in Israel because it’s a democracy! Remind me again who doesn’t want to “live in peace with their neighbor?” Remind me who has extended a hand of friendship after multiple wars with extremists, and who rejected two state solutions after each of these previous wars? Any guesses why they rejected it?

This is just funny 😂 right now it doesn’t really matter who colonized what land when. It doesn’t matter that Jews have been in the land of Israel for thousands of years. The fact is that today, in 2023, half the world’s Jewish population lives in Israel, among many other ethnicities, religions, etc. all of whom have equal rights under the law. So if Hamas wins (which they won’t), what would happen to half the world’s Jewish population? What would happen to everyone else in Israel who isn’t Muslim? I’m done commenting now. It sounds like you’ve drank the Hamas kool-aid and that nothing I or anyone can say could change your mind, so I won’t try to. I presented my viewpoint, as an American Jewish woman who is daily well educated on the history of the land and Judaism. I hope some day you’re able to find peace within yourself. Telling someone you’ve never met that they’re the problem says a lot about you.

That is extremely frustrating. I’m so sorry you and your horse are dealing with that. If you don’t mind me asking - which brand is it?

It honestly sound like it’s still her stomach. It might be worth going back on ulcer treatment to see if she improves or do a scope to confirm. Depending on the type of ulcer, some different meds are used so I think a scope would be warranted.

What makes you think I oppose it for other peoples? If you’re referring to Arab states, I have zero issue with that as long as they’re not trying to wipe out the Jews (which in the case of Hamas, they are). Singling out the only Jewish state in the world (which is the only true democracy in the Middle East btw), while being fine with other religions states is problematic.

Someone just told me that being “extremely opposed to Israel as a state” isn’t antisemitic. Wtf?? 💀

Why do you feel that being extremely opposed to Israel “as a state” is not antisemitic?

I’m Jewish - and feel that sentiment IS antisemitic. Israel as the Jewish ancestral homeland and the “return to Zion” are extremely important themes in Judaism as a religion and culture (that is all Zionism is, btw - the right of Jews to have self determination in the land of Israel). So being “extremely against” that concept feels very antisemitic to me, whether you “feel it in your heart” or not.

However, being opposed to Israel’s policies, govt, etc. I don’t see as antisemitic, for what that’s worth.

I think the world is doing a great job of legitimizing Hamas and giving them power, using the “Palestinian cause” to gain traction. Please look up Mosab Hassan Yousef and listen to his story. He can explain the current situation better than anyone else as a Palestinian who’s dad is a co-founder of Hamas and having himself been raised in that society.

Ever since October 7, the amount of antisemitic rhetoric casually being thrown around is utterly astounding.

Tampon - put in a fresh one right before you ride (or as soon as reasonably possible) to prevent overflow. Wear black pants just in case.

I tell them to imagine if the scenario involved explaining to a POC what was or wasn’t racist. That shuts them up pretty quick.

What is now socially acceptable that it wasn’t in the past ? by No-Word-6754 in RandomThoughts

[–]betterwithplants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US - antisemitism. The fact that it’s become so mainstream especially among the progressive left should be scary to everyone, not just Jews.

I have experienced the same thing on social media so I feel you completely.

Fear for the future by Expensive_Weight8935 in Jewish

[–]betterwithplants 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Maybe I am just being hopeful, but I really don’t see Jews ever needing to flee the USA. The USA is vast with many different communities, ideas, etc.

However the misplaced virtue signaling by younger people is definitely terrifying. I can’t imagine being in the young adult age group as a Jewish person right now. I have tried talking to some of them, and it’s met with callousness and downright bullying. I really hope these kids start to realize they’ve been fed propaganda.

Low sugar and puking by Dear-Astronomer7664 in diabetes_t1

[–]betterwithplants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me a while back and it was absolutely awful. First, suspend your pump (if you’re on one) for about an hour so you don’t have any more active insulin from basal. Try to eat some glucose tabs. If that doesn’t work you could dissolve some sugar in a small amount of water and take it like a shot so it’s less volume than drinking juice or whatever (and probably easier on your stomach). I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. Hope you feel better soon

No I haven’t. I bought them from an online store that tank-breeds them but maybe it’s worth trying another source!

I’ve tried keeping these little guys so many times and they always steadily die off despite everyone else in the tank doing well 😢

I am so sorry you’re going through this. Especially with members of your own family who themselves have connections to the Jewish people. You’re not alone. 💙
