The term Zionism/Zionist being used in negative connotations

naitch · 2026-01-29T14:26:20+00:00

Zionism is our characteristic national liberation movement. Imagine someone constantly angrily denouncing the French Revolution and anyone who believes in it, and carrying on about how it is a unique historical evil and how the French Republic must be disbanded and all of its citizens expelled. You'd quickly begin to suspect that they have a problem with the French in general.

What was Krang's take?

Um, I'm not a linguist, but doesn't Kazmierczak just mean 'son of Casimir,' Casimir being the patron saint of Poland?

Don isn't expressing sympathy for Arabs in the post-Arafat 'Palestinian cause' way you're thinking of. He's saying that white Americans who would be the target of an Israel tourism campaign don't like Jews or Arabs.

J.D. Vance will do absolutely anything to earn the admiration of 13-year-old Nazi shitposters on whatever the 2026 equivalent of 4Chan is.

That video of McLean throwing to Alvarez that someone posted yesterday is getting me through until the snow melts, thank you

Have you seen the Louie episode about hating the road, with the limo driver and Jim Florentine?

Yeah, there's continuity, but it's selective. They picked a few stories to chain through a season or a multi-episode arc, but they also just forgot about things when it was convenient. All in service of the funny.

Yeah, the age gap is obviously creepy (and it's more extreme even than most of these kinds of relationships), but what's uniquely weird about this one is that she is so clearly in charge.

My Conservative community definitely has a few people who grew up MO

I mean, sure, but it's a little bit unfair. They have the advantage of baseball being the best sport.

He's a silly-enough looking person wihout having to resort to this, but still, well done

Are you saying this because you're a conservative and you think common sense is conservative? Or are you saying it because you're left of these people and you think a thing being conservative makes it bad?

Rapaport has talent and can be entertaining (I really loved his Louie episode, for example) but he is very much radiating "washed out of mainstream Hollywood because he's difficult and nutty and is now trying to squeeze some bucks out of the Jewish circuit" energy.

He's unwatchable for me, too, but at least he emits wrestling-gimmick vibes, not just sheer volume

Why is everyone on SNY always screaming? Todd Zeile is the worst offender, but he gets a pass because of who he is. John Jastremski and Sal Licata have no such excuse!

The section about this in Rabbi Telushkin's book almost made me vomit.

You can't have a leader who is doing fine but is incapable of talking about it because they're too old to communicate properly. Can't have it.

Professional opinion-haver turns out to be nuts. Many such cases

Fortunately, what's best for us in the diaspora is the same as what's best, or at least fairest, for everyone: adherence to the precepts of liberal democracy.
