While playing on WW2 maps in #BF2042 I had to sit through a player spamming "Juuuuden!" in the chat. Beyond horrific & antisemitic. Submitted detailed reports w screenshots & EA's response is "sry about that, follow this link to report player." This is unacceptable @Battlefield
More Holocaust denial in the gaming space, also when I said Hell Let Loose was dangerous I was correct.
The gaming industry doesn't care I've brought it up many times.
But Holocaust denial and antisemitism is still something they are ok accepting.
—The Jerusalem Temple Willow-Branch Ritual —
With the holiday of Sukkot coming up, I thought I’d post about the willow-branch ritual which took place in the Jerusalem temple and which I believe is depicted on coins minted during the Bar Kokhba revolt (132–135 CE).

There's a great quote by her when she was cast and someone called Expanse "science fiction."
She goes, "What fiction? Read the paper, all of this is going on every day." That's 10x more true today.
At the core, #theexpanse was about the battle between people who wanted more violence, and people who wanted less.
Chanukah in Auschwitz.
“For a long time,” my father wrote, “we warmed ourselves at the thought of those candles, reminded of another generation of Jews who had the courage to believe that they would be victorious over their enemy”.
The thought alone of the candles warmed them.
Happy Chanukah, my beloved people and our cherished allies. Our enemies will hate us, they will attack us, they will scream intifada or pretend not to know what it means. Our light cannot be dimmed.
There has been an abhorrent and conspicuous absence of women’s organizations around the world unequivocally condemning the systematic rape and torture of women on October 7 by Hamas. Brutal gang rapes, sexual torture, and murder of fetuses happened- period. Where are the “BELIEVE THEM” voices? These crimes against women were in many cases documented by the terrorists themselves and broadcast for the world to see. Those of us who have fought for women’s rights and have sought to shout from the rooftops when women’s bodies are being used in war for the sadistic pleasure of perpetrators are astounded at how the world has been silent surrounding this. The UN (U.N. Women - the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women) took 50 days to express “alarm”… First Lady of Israel Michal Herzog and Sheryl Sandberg have been trying to draw attention to this. Progressive feminists of the world: where are you?

Loving that the rally in DC today features Russian Jewry, Latino Jewry, and Mizrahi Jewry. The Jews are a people of many colors and languages.
A people, not a race.
We submitted The Light in the Darkness for Games for Social Impact at the Game Awards.
Fingers crossed it gets nominated. 🤞
Knowing it's the first game that really addresses genocide.
We had a diverse team on it, Latino, Native American, Jewish, Palestinian, Russian, Asian.
Antisemitic lies and stereotypes used to dehumanize Jewish people are nothing new. Nazi Germany employed a steady drumbeat of antisemitic propaganda reinforcing the myth that Jews were dirty, deceitful, and dangerous.

השאלה הראשונה היא כמה יהודים צריכים עוד למות כדי שלא תאשימו אותנו בכל מה שקורה? כי בשבת הארורה לפני שבועיים מתו 1,400. כמה עוד צריך? אלף? עשרת אלפים? ששה מיליון?
כן, נכון, כרגע רמזתי לשואה. כמה חסר-טקט מצידי.
