My place to talk about issues close to my heart✦ Ashke-Mizrahi Jew ✦ Israeli-American ✦
✦ Zionist ✦ she/her ✦

Richard Rodgers didn’t bequeath a substantial collection of his works to the American Friends of Israel Museum for you to turn around and pretend he would have supported your weird anti-Israel movement.

Oscar Hammerstein proudly donated to Jewish Zionist organizations throughout his life.

These are the men that composed the Sound of Music.

Don’t punch Nazis because you want to be cool, punch Nazis because you care about Jews.

I can see why so many Ashkenazim resist being labeled as white.

Europe circa 1000-1945 CE: The Hebrews infesting our land are Oriental interlopers and always will be, so they should go back to the Middle East where they came from! Ashkenazim: But... we've been here for so long. We're good citizens. We contribute to the economy and culture... Europe: Bless your heart. Here, have a pogrom. You know what? Have another pogrom. As a matter of fact, I'm feeling generous. All the Jews get pogroms! You get a pogrom! And you get a pogrom! And you get a pogrom! Ashkenazim: (groan) Europe: There's a special prize under your seat. Look and see what it is! Tell everybody what it is. Ashkenazim: (sigh) An expulsion. Again. Europe circa 1967: Hey, Jews? How are ya? We've been thinking... since Israel's been doing such a good job helping us out by bombing our Arab enemies so that we don't have to do it, you get to be white like us! Isn't that nice? Ashkenazim: You've got to be kidding me. Europe: Is this about the Holocaust? Are you still sore about that? Look, we're sorry, OK? Ashkenazim: It wasn't just the Holocaust. It was all the stuff leading up to — Europe: Jeez! You people are always holding grudges. You need to let it go.

Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women's restroom in the state capitol

As far as I know, she is the first woman arrested bc of this law. The law requires that the trans person be warned to leave the bathroom by a state official, and then if they stay they are guilty of trespassing after a warning.

So like, me, my gf, others just piss and nobody asks or tells, but this young woman sent a statement about the law to over 100 FL lawmakers so they would know she was coming, the cops were ready for her, she brought a reporter and went in anyway and spent the night in a men's jail. She is out on bail, and is hoping this will inspire change of the law. But if found guilty, and the law is upheld as constitutional, then she could spend up to 60 days in a mens county jail.

I think it's important to know that this woman is a devout Catholic and is performing this act of civil disobedience as a profound act of faith (which I deeply respect, as someone whose Judaism vibes on the same wavelength). She brought a rosary with her and was planning on praying the rosary in the restroom after washing her hands if she was able to do so.

I also think it's important to know that she said in her letter that she knows that if she's sent to a men's prison that it is very likely that she will be raped.

An Authentic Account of Hamas Using Civilians as Human Shields

Earlier today, on Eid al-Fitr, members of a Gazan family injured in an Israeli attack step out of an ambulance while cursing Hamas at the hospital entrance.

In the clip, the family members tell the cameras that Hamas operatives had been hiding next to them, which lead to the strike and placed them in immediate danger.

Pay close attention to the depth of the child’s anger in this moment.

Dr. Allen Frances says in speculating about Trump’s mental health, we are doing a disservice to those who do suffer from mental illness. In a series of tweets, he explained why he doesn’t think Trump is a narcissist — and how harmful it can be for us to keep assuming that he is.

Wow, a post where a qualified professional explains why it’s bad to misuse clinical terminology and equate mental illness with authoritarianism. I’m sure the comments don’t contain any people defending to the death their right to misuse clinical terminology and equate mental illness with authoritarianism

Hey guys this person just called me a "hasbarist" for linking to an article about how Columbia student organizations are being sued for allegedly knowing about the Oct 7th attacks in advance. Block.

Despite being banned by Columbia, the Columbia JVP Instagram is still up and running, and it’s as unhinged as ever.

Jewish students are genuinely afraid; Hillel serves to make students feel more safe, not “stoke fear and manufacture consent.”
