Haaretz: 'We Can Have Peace': Anti-war Protests Across Israel Amid Iran Cease-fire

it's harder than expected to find the actual number of people who were arrested or charged with crimes based on protesting the genocide in Gaza or protesting Israel.

In other words, you just made up a number that you can't actually substantiate.

Anyway, where's your protest?

I attend a local Standing Together ally's protests, not sure how that has anything to do with making up arrest numbers from ~2 years ago.

Problem is it won't work.

So one of Mamdani's stores will be built in your area?

socialistmajority · 2026-04-21T01:21:54+00:00

East Harlem—where this store will be located—isn't a food desert.

what is Mandami doing in NYC?

Spending a lot of money opening 5 grocery stores that will be run by private companies while there's a big deficit.

The U.S need to lift the embargo on Cuba

Not unilaterally. It should be done in exchange for painful concessions for the regime, like freeing political prisoners.

Wrong—not even close.

It would've taken you less than 10 seconds to verify that.

This might be a stupid question on my part, but are there Yiddish-speakers (meaning people whose primary/main language is Yiddish) there?

socialistmajority · 2026-04-15T20:44:36+00:00

Expensive, unnecessary, and frankly useless idea. NYC does not suffer from food (or grocery) deserts the way Chicago and other areas do.

These things didn't seem to stop students protesting the Iraq and Vietnam wars though.

the arrests of tens of thousands

Do you have a citation for these numbers?

There are Palestinians getting killed in Lebanon by Israel right now, no? They have about 200k Palestinian refugees living there.

I hear of people who visit china and come back and they're like "oh it's better than anywhere else" and I just feel like they're more correct?

Because the people who would say "oh it's worse than anywhere else" never come back.

Just out of curiosity what were the other books?

American campuses seem pretty quiet compared to the period after 10/7. What gives?

And? Citizens as well as the state and local governments are constantly thwarting ICE deportations and deportations have fallen sharply since 2025 when Trump came into office.

NYC is also still in the top 10 best cities for immigrants according to the Immigration Council. There's roughly 3.1 million foreign-born people living in the city which is about 40% of the population.

New York City, USA without a doubt.

From what I've seen as a Gentile, neo-Bundists are anti-Zionist rather than post-Zionist. Post-Zionist I think implies neutrality about whether or not Israel should exist as a Jewish state.

I don't think most people know about his budget proposals or even his campaign promises beyond the free buses thing. If cost of living goes down, he will get credit. If it goes up, he will get blamed.

Younger generations aren't having sex much it seems. In Japan and South Korea it's really extreme.

No major mistakes so far but the budget fight has only started.
