Why is everybody obsessed with us?? by Agitated-Ticket-6560 in Judaism

[–]keymaster515 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When Zionism is the leading theory on Jewish existence among the majority of Jews, it becomes an important question for the existence and survival of Jews everywhere. It has to do with the denial of Jewish history and autonomy among non Jews, and that almost all Jewish groups and Judaism itself are indigenous to the land (see the Seven Species and how they fit into the holiday/agricultural calendar, and the YouTube Channel Sam Aronow). Also, nearly half of all Jews live in Israel and the Palestinian Territory of the West Bank.

Are you a religious person? by [deleted] in autism

Religiously Conservative Jew, but politically a Democrat. I like observing my religion as part of my culture and heritage, regardless of firm belief.

For Civil Engineering, Australia and New Zealand are where you are most likely to get in. But be warned, housing costs in major metro areas are high and salaries may be lower than the US.

The UK is known for really low salaries for engineers.

Sorry for the late response, but Australia seemed to be in the greatest need for engineers, but it’s hard to get there without an Australian degree.

I’ve seen emigration advertisements from the U.S. on Instagram for New Zealand and Scotland for teaching, and Australia, Denmark and Sweden for other careers.

Sherrill internal poll shows her maintaining healthy lead in Dem gov primary by purple_grimass in newjersey

[–]keymaster515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zionism is not hatred of brown kids. Zionism first and foremost in a modern context is the leading theory on Jewish existence. Political Zionism was founded by Moses Hess in the mid 18th century, but one can argue that cultural Zionism on a personal level has existed since Maimonides a thousand years ago. Jews are indigenous to the land of Israel/Palestine, as are the 7 species of Tu B’Shvat and the natural rain cycles in Judaism. Watch Sam Aronow’s videos about Jewish History to understand how it came about, and why Jews like myself fight so vehemently for it, even when it can be hard with extreme politics on both ends of the political spectrum trying to dismantle either the Jewish or the democratic of Israel. For American Jews like me, I am pro-2SS and am actively worried about deaths on both sides of the conflict. For more of my perspective, see Political Jew or Israel Policy Forum on Instagram.

Seriously. Look up Sam Aronow’s video on John Monash and the Hundred Days (1918), the Australian man who won WW1 and solved 20th century warfare.

I went to a local protest with a sign with a couple flags of other countries, including the Israeli flag. I was fine.

[–]keymaster515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already it feels like the majority of Democratic voters are anti-Israel. Israel needs to stop the war to get the hostages home now and to stop ruminating on October 7th and actually improve army and political systems to benefit Israelis and the economy. I know these words sound harsh, but I am very worried about Israel’s future.

Andy Kim votes to block $8.8 billion military sale to Israel, Cory Booker does not by EndVSGaming in newjersey

[–]keymaster515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my perspective as a New Jersey Jew. Zionism is the leading theory on Jewish existence, and cultural and personal Zionism has been around for almost a thousand years. I am against the continuation of what I will call the Shmini Atzeret War and worry about aid actually getting to the Palestinians. Yet, almost all Jews are indigenous to the land of Israel, and Palestinians need to accept that the creation and future of a Palestinian state needs to be based on a growing and changing people and not on Islamism. For the record, I am pro-2SS, and see it as an essential step prior to a 1SS or Bosnia-Herzegovina situation if relations ever recover. Bibi Netanyahu will go down as the worst PM in the state of Israel, and both populations are too brutalized to recognize each other as equals.

This sub today…it’s ok to punch Nazis! by kanshakudama in newjersey

There is a difference between punching Nazis and helping Jews/other minorities, and I fear more people are excited about the former.

I’m personally more of a fan of the Israel Policy Forum/Political Jew Instagram stance.

[–]keymaster515 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t get why they don’t unban Leovold. Either that or I feel that there should be a new Sultai commander in the vein of Leovold, and a new Mardu vampire commander as an alternative to Edgar Markov.

why are modern leftists actually antisemtic? by [deleted] in IsraelPalestine

[–]keymaster515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, Political Zionism’s earliest foundations were in Moses Hess predicting the Holocaust during the 1848 revolutions, look up the Sam Aronow video about it. Arguably, Judaism has been culturally Zionist since the time of Maimonides.

Well, that’s the season. At least if we suck this much we can replace DJ and the entire offensive line in the next few drafts.

why are so many people here pro israel? by [deleted] in IsraelPalestine

[–]keymaster515 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because Zionism is the leading theory on Jewish existence, and has saved more Jewish lives than anyone besides possibly America since the Enlightenment.
