It was one thing to accept the trip and go, another thing to diminish and mock Palestinians that called her out on her actions. It's been nearly 10 years, but it's still such a slap in the face that members of our Atlanta Muslim community would do such a thing.
One of the people (a member of GSU's MSA) that took a Zionist sponsored trip to Israhell as part of some "interfaith" trip during undergrad popped up on my LinkedIn and it's so disappointing that people have forgotten how vile she acted when she was confronted with what she did.
@MayDuhSah@B4tfleck@GlitchShow75429 That's what I got from his vibes! I was trying to figure out if it was him or not so I was awkwardky staring him down and he noticed. I didn't say anything though because I can tell he just wanted to be at the farmers market with his wife in peace.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
if your portion is $35.77 and you send me $35 instead of $36, i’m not going to say anything, but i’m def going to keep a mental note. when you owe someone money never round down.
