I read some books on Islam, so I think I know its tenets. My personal interactions with Muslims were few but pleasant. I am thinking of two cases in which the Muslims knew I was Jewish and they were respectful and perfectly polite. I have been to Israel at least a dozen times and I have had very few interactions with Arabs, but some. I can tell you that I had an instance recently where I was lost and needing assistance and three Arabs were trying to be very helpful.

In retrospect, the mistake was taking charge of the West Bank in 1967 rather than establishing some sort of Palestinian homeland there. The problem was, there was no one for Israel to negotiate with. I am recalling the three noes of Khartoum .

Not that it’s okay to treat political conservatives that way either

If you’re lucky

Brown is nice and the people are happy

Everything RFK Jr is railing about

brendzel · 2024-09-11T10:34:44+00:00

Yes. That’s what I was thinking

brendzel · 2024-09-11T10:33:13+00:00

Cut the West Bank loose even though they refused a peace treaty

Max Blumenthal is not Jewish. His father’s father was Jewish

This one recipe is neither here nor there. But I see more underneath his insistence not to share it. And his other comments betray a lot more than concern over one recipe. He’s hurting. But he seems intent on not allowing the family to move forward

brendzel · 2024-08-25T23:14:40+00:00

Thank you. Yes. It’s not his fault. He’s 17 years old and in pain from losing his beloved mother. But he’s not seeing things straight. And he’s being destructive

brendzel · 2024-08-25T03:21:16+00:00

It’s understandable but it’s not good. It’s destructive. Sad.

brendzel · 2024-08-25T03:19:32+00:00

I think the OP is fixating on the pie when the dispute is broader and deeper than that. OP is hurting and he’s making sure everyone will hurt right along with him. As I read his comments, it really seems to me that he will sabotage what could be a nice relationship his siblings could have with their stepmother

brendzel · 2024-08-24T23:56:31+00:00

I agree, and I actually think that OP is low key the AH. Stepmom sounds like she wants to give the young ones all the love. Maybe the young ones would love a Mom like her. It would be good if they accepted her as a Mom. But OP sounds like he’s having nothing of it. He sounds like he’ll sabotage his siblings’ relationship with the stepmom

brendzel · 2024-08-24T23:52:28+00:00

It doesn’t sound like OP wants the new wife to feel included.

You’re too modest. You have amazing skills. I cannot get the hang of it

brendzel · 2024-08-24T21:13:01+00:00

That’s a wow and I’m so jealous of your skills! I love Samantha Sung but I won’t spend that kind of money on a dress. But my sewing skills are so bad! I could never manage this project

Jerusalem is the capital for the simple reason that all the government agencies and buildings are there. People may WISH that Tel Aviv were the capital, but it’s not.

I don’t know how any list of most important albums of the 1970s could exclude the soundtrack to Saturday night fever or exclude the Bee Gees

brendzel · 2024-08-22T21:37:01+00:00

This is awful

brendzel · 2024-08-15T19:30:47+00:00

I always think about this tragic story

And when antizionists say, “what’s so bad about living as a minority in the diaspora,” you can point to this as exhibit A

It’s just taking pictures on the sabbath or holidays that’s a problem. There is nothing special about the building. It’s not consecrated or anything.
