@Odecahedron@xspotsdamark This is probably the golden age OP is referring to.
Maimonides was an influential Torah scholar; also an astronomer and physician to Saladin who BTW was expelled for not converting to Islam.

@xspotsdamark Before statehood. Before Israelis had an army. When the Arabs had the upper hand they were often cruel. Israel is much more supportive and inclusive of its Arab minority than the Arab countries were of Jews.
@xspotsdamark I don't think it's the right metaphor. After Jews got kicked out of Gaza, Judea, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, etc. They could have maybe found a way to include more of their Arab tormentors in the new nation. But Israelis have very good reasons for having walls around them.
Trump is reportedly preparing an executive order to ban transgender Americans from serving in the military.
This would medically discharge 15,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines.
This is un-American and will make us less safe. But hey, a bunch of civilians on X love it.
Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s.
Over half of those deported were US citizens.
Whatever the final outcome, the fact that Trump—a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, pathological liar, virulent bigot and utterly reckless manager who kowtows to Putin and despises democracy— is this close to regaining the White House is deeply disturbing.
@allenanalysis After selling so many clicks on Trump's antics, they wait until the polls undeniably turn for Kamala two days before the election. Cowards and opportunists.
I keep hearing that I shouldn’t let politics interfere with friendships.
Motherfucker, if you think 11 million immigrants need to be rounded up and put in camps, we are not going to be friends.
As of yesterday, I have decided to resign from my role as a columnist for The Washington Post — a newspaper that I love. In a moment like this, everyone needs to make their own decisions. This is the reasonfor mine. 🧵
