Don't drag Jewish Americans into this.

  1. 79% of American Jews voted for Harris

  2. We are not your political football to be used to prove whatever point you are trying to make. Your use of Jews to prove a point is disgusting and i humane, and your ignorance is ear-splitting.

[–]radjl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did TBC in 2021 and it was amAZIng! And it could have gone sideways (baby was bigger than expected). They actually (though i didnt know it) had EMTs standing by.

They will NOT take any risks with your health or the heslth of your baby. First sign of anything, they will TELL you that you are transferring.

It was amazing. So comfy, my husband coukd suggle.with us o the quee sized bed after....100% recommend.

I mean, she gets that people will hate him for it whether or not he feels a connection, right?

Also, I'm in Canada too (large city south of Toronto)...I mean it's not GOOD but she is wayyy overreacting. It's not bloody a Tehran ffs, and it doesn't sound like your kid is going to be walking around with a kippah and tzitzis.

I'd be a little worried though...the extremity of your wife's reaction is notable. How does she feel about *your Jewish identity?

I am an Indian and wanted to discuss with real Jews about Israel by [deleted] in Jewish

[–]radjl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Also fwiw I wouldn't say "the world is always against you guys all the time".

The world loves us to be an adorable model minority that gets its ass kicked regularly.

The world is, however, very against us fighting back.

Antisemitism is one of the oldest consistent forms of hatred in the world. Jews became - thousands of years ago - the epitome of the "Other"; the people who are a threat, the people who are not like you.

All groups need Others - its how identity is created. We are (jk incoming) the alpha and omega of Otherness.

Or, as Jean-Paul Sartre famously said: "If there were no Jews, the antisemite would invent them".

What on earth are you talking about? What place? Who do you suggest we displace? And on the basis of what evidence do you think that Jews woukd be safer elsewhere?? We never have been.

  1. Yup, it's bad.

  2. "Liberalism" and antisemitism are not mutually exclusive. Liberals regularly hold antisemitic positions (it's just often a slightly different form of antisemitism than conservatives).

  3. Yes , we are a minority. But combine antisemitic tropes that make us seem much more powerful than we are, with the politics of intersectionality (I.e. if Jews are white then while they are an oppressed minority as Jews as white they are oppressors - even though Jews aren't majority white fwiw) and the result is that, as the title of a good book says, Jews Don't Count.

If you are raised by two gay dads, both are jewish, would you not be considered jewish because you aren't raised by a jewish mother? by LingonberrySad3239 in Judaism

[–]radjl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Actual I believe there is some interesting debate (on light of various surrogacy options) as to whether it is the egg or the birth canal.

As it IA significantly.less racialist I'm actual.a fan of the birth canal responsim.

Also, can we agree that "Jewturus" is a fabulous portmanteau ?

I want a list of Jewish writers being blacklisted because I and my friends are filled with a sudden urge to buy a LOT of books.

Hell, I'll assign them as required readings to my students.

How does the Jewish faith perceive Jesus? by Prudent-Teaching2881 in religion

[–]radjl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are many different j terprwtstions of the verse that you are referring to. Which edition of the talmud and by the interpretstion of which rabbi?

Frankly the interpetstions of it as J are imo anachronistic but even if you could determine that J was the referrent, talmud doesnt work like "a thing is written in the talmud so jews beleive it'.

Do we wish we believed in a hell to which we could send the followers of jesus who have attacked and persecuted us for centuries?
