@JewishWonk Debarnu dofi. Tafalnu sheker. Yatsnu ra. Kizavnu.
There is room for real debate and discussion on collective responsibility in Viduy, and what does it mean in Diaspora. Lander appropriated the language of Jewish prayer to cut himself off and wag his finger alongside antisemites

@MalcolmNance In this scenario, Hamas is joined by Iran and Hezbollah when they attack (presumably when Bibi loses a no confidence vote and before election). Gazans flee to Egypt before the border is closed, but destabilize the region

@MalcolmNance Scenerio 2: Israel moves troops to Gaza and Lebanon borders during holidays signaling that they have intelligence of 10/7 plan, assets are outted, plan is delayed until after Israeli demobilization because economy suffers when reserve is called up 2/x

[Miriam Gloger @Biblio_Techie]

@MalcolmNance Scenerio 3: Israel appeals to UN for UNIFIL to stop Hezbollah from attacking from Lebanon, or at least prevent UNRWA staff and resources from being used by Hamas, and is laughed out of the GA.

@JewishWonk @CoreyWriting Mcgonagall with her prim tight bun, no nonsense poise, is also a good candidate. Snape should be English or Gypsy (traveller).

@BrooklynDon6 @aziz0nomics That was the Joint Arab list (which included the Raam party) headed by Abbas (minister without portfolio). Israeli Arabs have served in Israeli governments but as members of Jewish majority parities (including both Labor and Likud). That was the first Arab party in coalition

[Miriam Gloger @Biblio_Techie]

@IhabHassane Shas and Raam often vote together (culturally conservative but economically liberal) education, employment, development in the periphery. Abbas has made it clear that supporting Palestinians does not have to be at the expense of Israel.

Hi
@grok
could you give my account a report card please? Create an image with it.

@JewishWonk The constant drumbeat of excessive criticism is the point- it silences the healthy debate and nuances within the community, creating a permission structure on unpopularity (as if strategic interests are equivalent to electing prom queens) to harass Jews for complicity

@JakeTurx It is two different models based on different historical relations to the State and Haskalah, but American Judaism cannot simply be grafted to the Israeli system and produce the same results.

[Miriam Gloger @Biblio_Techie]

@JakeTurx American Haredism threatens the Israeli Haredi establishment in that they proove it is possible to lead a Torah life without massive state subsidy and set-asides; the Israeli model on the other hand, is seductive for religious youth seeking to either reject or subsume themselves

@BuissnessN72372 Herzl did not invent Zionism, but was a presentable western Jew with a media platform. Zionism was a movement of Yiddish speaking Jews of the Pale and Poland, whose leaders fought Herzl’s territorialism with a demand for Zion (Israel)

[Miriam Gloger @Biblio_Techie]

@JewishWonk Post-modernism and relative truth at work. When the end justifies the means, there is no moral complexity or civility. Truth, justice, individual or even state force is weaponized to serve the omnicause

[S Sebag Montefiore @simonmontefiore]

Today. 1952.

Night of the Murdered Poets: Stalin massacres the greatest living Yiddish writers in a prison basement.

Thirteen leading Soviet Jewish intellectuals, including poets, novelists, and cultural figures, inc at least one Bundist, were taken to Moscow’s Lubyanka prison and executed by firing squad on Stalin’s direct orders.

@NYCMayor You mean the Ethnostate with a state religion and blasphemy laws formed from the partition of a British colony in 1947. That engaged in the Ethnic Cleansing of members of the ‘wrong’ groups — and I thought you opposed Ethnostates (or just the Jewish state..)

@GAZAWOOD2 Imagine a kid in the Bronx going up to a cop. Everyone in this little play knows that the soldiers won't harm the kids (or even arrest them), no adult even looks worried!
