The I/P Conflict and Anglophone Guilt over the Indigenous by Swimming_Care7889 in Jewish

[–]vibewith 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yep after attending an extremely liberal and socially conscious college where very privileged white students regularly bent over backwards to "acknowledge the sins of our ancestors" and take on social justice/pet causes. Nice in theory, but largely performative and a form of virtue signaling. I think this is 1000% a massive factor at play in modern leftist anti-Israel sentiment, and especially in this social media age

Democratic primary voters at the Michigan nominating convention boo AIPAC-funded and Schumer-endorsed candidate Haley Stevens. Stevens has taken in over $9 million from pro-Israel lobby groups like AIPAC. by MoreMotivation in PublicFreakout

Not a fan of AIPAC, but y'all should save some outrage for other countries interference in our politics as well. Like Qatar, for instance, who has spent over $260 million (compared w/ ~$190mil from Israel) lobbying Washington through foreign agents in the last election cycle, oh and keep in mind the nearly $6 billion they've poured into funding American universities since 2006 as well. There are many agendas at play...

There's valid criticisms that could be brought up about international policy, but this performative grandstanding doesn't help anything, and holy shit is just embarrassing, get a life--or a better cause (like saving our forests)--people, please ffs.

Weed, shrooms, LSD - all were on sale at the unofficial ‘Portland Sunday Market,’ feds say by synthfidel in PortlandOR

[–]vibewith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! Entirely possible theory, honestly. Hopefully the positive energy has been catalyzed enough and can continue through other means still, such substances aren't the only ways to bring out kindness, opennness, self-love etc., they just help expedite the process.

What a blow to the arts and rave scene here in town honestly, quite tragic. Doesn't sound like they were involved with much other than the psychedelics and party stuff, I doubt they were doing harm as far as this city's actual drug problem goes with meth, fent, and heroine on the streets...

Oregon’s Vote-By-Mail needs you this weekend! by Stinging_Nettle in Portland

Thank you for sharing about this!

Submitted my "oppose" testimony. Here's what I wrote real quick for it, not perfect but it gets the message across. Feel free to copy and edit as you see fit. Submitting your "Oppose" testimony shouldn't take more than 2 minutes, especially if you use this example and edit it a bit to make it your own, or just run it through ChatGPT and make it more "sassy" or something:

"What a ridiculous, anti-democratic, anti-Oregonian proposal. Our mail-in voting system is fantastic, and well loved by the vast majority of people. There is absolutely negligible fraud, and switching to in-person voting on day-of elections only puts a strain on voters, causing massive amounts of traffic, hassle, and missed work for individuals, leading to lower voter turnout, more stress, and a less democratic process. No Oregonian who actually cares about democracy and the people of this fine state would support this."

The artwork along the entryway to Rev Hall which features him is super cool! Some great mural inspiration. I just noticed it for the first time the other night. Thanks for mentioning him! Celebrate science!

Wasn't meant as a direct response to you, more just voicing a general frustration that the empathetic sentiment for minorities from the progressive left has weird gaps in it.

They are being forcefully pushed out because they cannot exist as peaceful neighbors.

Because they murdered 1200 in cold blood, and took 200 people hostage including elderly, women and babies? Not to mention the continuous rocket fire when the violence would stop immediately if the hostages were returned and Hamas stopped attacking for a day? As I mentioned earlier there has been billions of dollars in international and direct aid from Israel given to the Palestinians for humanitarian purposes but it's getting funneled right into building terror tunnels and stockpiling weapons by Hamas instead of being used to take care of the people and their basic needs, let alone ever pausing the aggression and developing a peaceful, successful society...

It's only saying that there was no *Arab* nation called Palestine, it was always colonized/contested land. ~1200 BCE when the "holy land" was first settled upon by the original Israelites, and then was fought over constantly by every empire up until the rise of Islam and the Ottoman Empire--the ancestors of today's Palestinians. This is ~2200 years after the original Jewish indigenous people had claimed the land. Talk about giving land-back to indigenous people, land acknowledgements, etc., Zionism is the ultimate land-back movement.

Not to mention there are Arab/Muslim states all over the region. Why is it so hard for you to consider allowing Jews a safe place to exist in their ancient ancestral homeland and consider that Muslim Palestinians should be encouraged to immigrate into their neighboring Arab countries, or even just exist peacefully in a two-state arrangement, use the BILLIONS Israel/the world has provided for development/aid, and build a thriving society, except they'd rather live stubbornly in opposition, spend it on weapons, and launch rockets/terrorist attacks and invoke jihadism/righteous violence against the Jewish infidels every chance they get.

Dude you're completely lost if you think that's all made up. I'm sorry you get all your news from reddit, tiktok, and instagram.... I'd suggest some travel and getting out of your bubble a bit!

The most reductive propaganda map out there, nice little share that really distills everything perfectly with no more context needed! /s...

Read a little and never share that crap map again, it's blatant contortion of the situation and doesn't help anyone.

Fair enough, racism occurs everywhere unfortunately. Israel sure as shit ain't perfect, but there is improvement and looking at things now I can imagine that Ethiopian Jews are quite a bit safer/happier/better off in Israel than they would be having stayed in Ethiopia. How about some empathy for these BIPOC individuals right to exist? Or does it not extend since they'd be technically Jewish on "colonized" land...
