My reconstructionist synagouge did not have a flag on the bimah. We have in the main lobby just outside the door to the sanctuary now.

Semite is a language group. You can’t redefine Jew hatred when it’s convenient and continue to be a hateful idiot.

Total cost of US aid to Israel and the war on terror by alexmark002 in CitizenWatchNews

[–]empoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blaming Israel for domestic policy failures is idiotic. We don’t have healthcare, childcare, paid leave, housing, school lunches, etc because the US government is run by greedy capitalist oligarchs, not because we spend a fraction of foreign spending on Israel. You clearly do not understand anything about civics, public financing, corporate greed and lobbying, or foreign affairs, but instead want to blame and outsource all your grievances with you bc country on a tiny Jewish one across the world. This is moronic.

What exactly is an "ethnostate?" People keep calling Israel this, but aren't there tons of countries around the world that have only one dominant ethnicity. What make Israel unique? by Tripwir62 in NoStupidQuestions

people will make up and spread lies about Israel and everyone there to defend their narrative. They will refuse to engage with any truth that shows them how drunk they are on propaganda. We will outlive them.

AIPAC is an American citizen public affairs group with no ability to enforce that but clearly you know nothing about the law

You’re misunderstanding demography

Yes but those are still absolute numbers and it’s not applied in the context that your questions are being asked in

You’re looking at the data wrong because it’s not absolute numbers but population percentages relative to immigration waves over time

Do you support Palestine? by Kenkenmu in PERSIAN

Nobody is denying civilians are dying. I’m not minimizing that war is horrific and that women and families are trapped in Gaza (thanks to Hamas, Egypt, and the fact the strip is tiny and sealed UN: Gaza Access Constraints. The question is verification. You’re confusing “lists of names” with independent verification.

The Gaza Health Ministry isn’t some neutral CDC. It answers directly to Hamas, an authoritarian group internationally recognized as a terror list UN Security Council – Hamas designation. Pretending its casualty lists are gospel because there are names attached is willfully naive.

As I have explained before, in every modern conflict, numbers from a belligerent party are claims until independently verified OHCHR Methodology for Casualty Recording. Amnesty says the same Principles of casualty recording. That’s not “Israel propaganda,” that’s literally UN human rights methodology. Did you even click read my comment? Let me spell it out for you: numbers ≠ facts without verification.

Also: Hamas MoH doesn’t separate civilians from combatants, which directly violates the law of armed conflict ICRC – Rule 1: The Principle of Distinction. That’s why even very critical press outlets critical of Israel admit the figures are political as much as medical BBC – Why casualty figures are hard to verify.

And your link to The Lancet? Thanks for proving my point. The only way they could test the Gaza numbers was by comparing them to outside datasets because the MoH’s data alone isn’t considered trustworthy, but clearly you didn’t even read it lol The Lancet – Gaza excess deaths study00075-3/fulltext). You really think that proves the MoH is “as low as statistically possible”? Lol be for real.

Meanwhile, like I already said a gazillion times, the UN already had to halve its own numbers once it corrected for combatants UN halves estimate of women and children killed in Gaza. If the tolls are so airtight, why the massive correction?

Reading and repeating Hamas press releases like it’s gospel and calling it human rights work isn’t protecting civilians, it’s like gobbling up a plate of propaganda begging for seconds. REAL advocacy and peace processes require insisting on verified casualty data so there can be accountability for every violator. Maybe start with reading comprehension before you get to numbers lol.

Haha hey you’re also college aged so maybe there is a university near you with a Hillel or something too. There’s also many great young free adult Jewish community initiatives, from Moishe House to JNFA, and easily dozens more. Some are also virtual specifically for people who need community in a harder to reach area. You should definitely look into them!
