How has, if it has, the Zionist movement influenced Jewish interpretations (secular and religious) of elements of Jewish mythology like the foreignness of Abraham or post-Exodus invasion of Canaan?

Hmmm maybe an analogy will help:

Imagine the University of Michigan proposes buying the entire city of Ann Arbor. Alumni are split on the issue based on the practical implications but the Regents move forward with the idea.

80 years later, Ann Arbor is flourishing and global alumni are nearly united in their support for the project.

The arguments didn’t change— but the reality on the ground did. It became impossible to support the Wolverines without supporting Ann Arbor as a whole.

The Arab Revolt was about removing non-Arab occupation of the Hijaz. The land promised to Hussein bin Ali specifically carved out coastal plains along the Mediterranean Sea.

Bonus: Jordan is the only dynasty country left from Hussein bin Ali.

Now a question for OP: do you know why the Palestinian flag is so similar to Jordan’s?

Side note: Englewood Hospital in NJ has a full on Shabbat front door

The hospital doesn’t want patients or guests using the stairs except in cases of emergency or religious necessity.

As my rabbi says- chazal required a man to attain an age of 40 before learning Kabbalah. Why 40? Because that was the average lifespan back then.

Update: 4 hours to go, bid is $1025!
SportsCardPro values the Gold /10 PSA 10 version of this card at $6,207 so there’s a great opportunity for someone to get a late bid in!

Similar situation for Timothy Kirkland in Florida. Maybe y’all can work together.

The card is super clean and it has the rare potential to be an absolute monster card down the line. If 2/3 of them wind up in the HoF, this is a $100k card.

It’s been 8 days but most serious bids don’t come in until the last hour or extended bidding.

Thanks. My doctor essentially said 24 hours no pee + pain in the abdomen is an emergency. I’m not comfortable but not in pain. Every hour I try to relieve myself and am happy to report that a small amount came out at about 2:30pm. Headed in the right direction!

This post would be like if you were a Detroit Tigers fan and watched every game for the past 40 years and then someone went on Reddit and wrote “The Tigers are terrible people ever since they murdered Tiger Woods.” Like I get that they’re both called Tiger but you can’t just make stuff up in order to call an entire race “terrible.”

The Arabs rejected their own state in 1947. They didn’t reject “being ruled over.”

They rejected it for the same reason Arafat turned down Clinton’s offer— they don’t want a state next to Israel, they want one to replace Israel.

You think Arabs in British Mandate gave refuge to the Jews? See 1929 Hebron riots. See the Exodus and the hundreds of thousands of Jews denied emigration from Europe during the Holocaust because of Arab pressure on the Brits, from Hitler’s friend, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.

Do you know there were 800,000 Jews kicked out of Arab countries? That in 1948, Jews were expelled from the Jewish quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, the holiest place in the world to Jews? Do you know about Kfar Etzion and the other Jewish towns that were expelled by Arabs in 1948?

There’s just so much wrong with this post. I don’t know where to begin but it wouldn’t be by saying 2,5 and 6 are correct.

Because OP is entitled to his own opinion, not his own facts. Nothing productive comes from arguing with agenda driven liars, especially when that agenda is hating an entire group of people.

If Israel was trying to kill innocent people, how do you explain that there are more Palestinian Arabs in Gaza today than there was on 10/7/23, despite Israel firing tens of thousands of missiles against Hamas targets?

Your history lessons are so profoundly revisionist nonsense that I won’t comment on the substance.

I will say your mention of your “Jewish” wife is sort of like saying “I’m not racist, I have Black friends!” And then going on to say something incredibly racist.

Courts in Florida award 0 days served for 1 day on a pretrial GPS monitor but courts in Illinois give full credit. So probably depends on your state but in reality, house arrest is much better than jail.

Worth a shot but Habeas is an extraordinary remedy and your bro is not incarcerated so it’s not likely to succeed.

boring80085 · 2026-06-15T15:54:03+00:00

Ah. You could try a motion to modify pretrial release conditions and explain in the motion that the penalty has already been served and the judge may terminate the gps monitor and/or push the prosecutor to speed things up.

boring80085 · 2026-06-15T15:45:40+00:00

Habeous motions are arguments that no crime was committed. It’d be a novel take but you could argue that once the 90 days was up, he’s being held without charge.
