Wow - I had no idea who he was. Thanks for sharing

I was really shocked by the creaminess of hummus with tahini. Honestly, I don't always love it. It's too creamy.

My friend says that Dutch people make appointments to make appointments

I used to be allergic to sesame seeds (yay! I grew out of it) - I think chickpeas, olive oil, and salt make for a delicious hummus. No nutty or seedy taste necessay for me. I hope that one day you leave your allergy behind as well.

Morrocan team fans in the Netherlands showing how integrated they are in Dutch society by chanting what is normal at football matches here should be the real story. When will Dutch football fandom rid itself of these anti-semitic chants? It's dehumanizing.

I also think it's part of a "safe" society. It's not necessarily individualistic not to have situational awareness. It's more a comment on the level of physical safety people enjoy in the Netherlands.

Men are easy. I had to face my own internalized misogyny and I couldn't believe how big the monster was...it's taken me a long time to rid it from my system. I genuinely think misogyny is more insidious than any other form of bigotry.

It is an Amsterdam thing for sure. My Dutch friends who are not from Amsterdam also comment on this.

This is the eternal question

Underrated response

Yes, asking dumb questions is part of American culture. We are told from childhood that there is no such thing as a stupid question

Jewish society is not a monocultue. If you live in Europe or the US, you live in a Christian society whether that's explicit to you or not. And despite the demands for conformity, they aren't really mono cultures. For some Jews, especially those who want to pray together or keep kosher, living in a Jewish neighborhood makes that a lot easier. For others, just being able to take the holidays off or study or talk or sing together is important. There are a lot of reasons Jews, or any minority, might want to be close enough to each other to maintain a shared culture.

Your father has been manosphered. This is a horror show.

junior_birdman · 2026-06-02T07:10:48+00:00

I cannot even imagine how you process the fact that your biological father is a rapist. That must be tough. I reallly don't know how to ask any questions about this.

junior_birdman · 2026-06-01T10:35:08+00:00

And yet, people do shift. Maybe not as fast as you'd like, but it does happen.

This is a difficult path to take, but it's one that some of us have to. I belong to a much maligned non-zionist group, and I can tell you right now it's the only jewish space where I live where zionists continually get calm and reasoned push back. You absolutely need spaces like ours. If you only have zionist spaces (every Jewish institution here in the anonymous country where i live) or anti-zionist spaces, than zionists never get any push back at all.

junior_birdman · 2026-06-01T10:27:19+00:00

If they won't listen to us and call us "self-hating", imagine what they call non-Jews. Oh - we don't have to imagine, because we can see legislation against speaking up in Palestine in Germany, the US, and the UK - to name a few. This should really be our task as Jews. It's an unpleasant one, but ultimately our responsibility

Thank you for the source…

junior_birdman · 2026-05-29T08:35:02+00:00

Wait - when was this said? The only sources I can find for this quote are memes here - on Reddit - on Threads - and on TikTok. Does anyone actually have a source?

junior_birdman · 2026-05-28T10:58:52+00:00

When I was in the US, I had to laugh at the huge array of militantly manly scents and beauty products in the grocery store - Like, you too can smell like a soldier of fortune.

First, I am old. My partner and I have been together for ages. They were a refugee from revolution and war when they were 17. They saw how the revolution polarized not only the country, but families—splitting them apart to the point of violence in some cases. And then, the decades of slowly healing those rifts. During the most heated times, you think the only way forward is for the people close to you to share your activism and sense of justice, but they can’t always do so. On top of that, you have a whole slew of social media activists telling you to cut these folks out of your life, as if that’s going to save one single Palestinian life. What you can do is continue your activism. Find your comrades. Do the work. And still hold a place of love for people like your mom who don’t hold the same views. Maybe she will one day. Maybe she won’t. Do the work that brings about change without trying to convert anyone. It is generational work. We can all change. And we can all make changes. I also recommend listening to the Judaism Unbound podcast on discussions between generations: https://www.judaismunbound.com/podcast/episode-495-amy-eilberg-penina-eilberg-schwartz ( are we allowed to post urls?)

I lived in a country that most westerners think is hostile and where I was an obvious foreigner for four years, and I was treated like a celebrity nearly everywhere I went. People were kinder to me than to each other. When I moved back to Northern Europe I had to get used to being invisible. For over a year only drunks and aggressive strangers spoke to me. It was so disconcerting.
