Fun part of this World Cup is learning about all these specific ethnic enclaves in the US, every game has some cut that’s like “and here’s the famed Curaçaoan community in Wilmington, Delaware” and it’s some random bar with like 450,000 people
Europeans enjoying the World Cup: “Futbol is the greatest sport in the world.”
Americans enjoying the World Cup: “Wonder what fast food the German guy eats next.”

The inability of Liberal Zionist Jews to think outside of themselves is astounding. This constant return to “antisemitism” is nothing more than narcissism disguised as ringing alarm bells. It is a constant pathologizing of their community as perpetual lone victims.
Iranians are being slaughtered, Palestinians continue to face extermination and the Lebanese continue to be slaughtered while the most racist tropes are used to justify the killing of their children at the hands of a Jewish state bent on exterminating Arabs and Muslims. Yet Ezra Klein’s concern is not the victims of war and structural oppression—it’s the optics for his community, whose every major institution is complicit.
¿Se acuerdan cuando los israelíes llevaban sillas a la cima de una colina en Sderot para ver el genocidio desde Gaza, y aplaudían al oír explosiones?
Bueno, yo si me acuerdo.
