Food & Politics but not the Politics of Food

@omni_american They are hungry to be told that the civilization that produced them was on balance good and made life better for the world's populations.

@remercurize @ModernMaskil7 @DavidKlion @JachnunEmpire The issue is Jews want to be known for their uniqueness. Erasing that and lumping them in with everyone else is a way progressives try to reject the concept of Jewish peoplehood.

@timsoret London has very good but not great food. In Europe, only France, Spain & Italy gave great food.

@dilanesper What’s the difference? Compensate the Palestinians for their losses and move on. You’re not going force 550,000 people to leave their homes, some with $500k

[Steve Plotnicki @steveplotnicki]

@artisanrocky Actually that’s correct. Many of them can still file for citizenship but choose not to

[Steve Plotnicki @steveplotnicki]

@samhaselby It was shaped by oligarchs who wanted to pay lower taxes

[Steve Plotnicki @steveplotnicki]

@remercurize @DavidKlion @JachnunEmpire Jews just don't describe themselves that way. He should have said Jews from Eastern Europe like Chagall.

@YousefMunayyer They need a ranked choice system or runoffs among candidates who clear a certain bar.

[Steve Plotnicki @steveplotnicki]

@DavidKlion @JachnunEmpire But his characterization is not benign. Mamdani is purposely not identifying him as a Jew because he doesn't believe in Jewish peoplehood.

@LOL19520390 @orenba Tens of millions of people were displaced over the past 150 years including both sides of my family. The reason I ended up with a good life is they decided it wasn't worth fighting and they were better off taking advantage of the future might bring.

[Steve Plotnicki @steveplotnicki]

@LOL19520390 @orenba I have no problem trying to work toward making that happen. What I am telling you is that it will never happen until they value the future more than the past.

[Steve Plotnicki @steveplotnicki]

@LOL19520390 @orenba Then that's what will happen.

@mattduss @rulajebreal It’s possible that ethnic supremacy is the only thing that guarantees a democracy

[Steve Plotnicki @steveplotnicki]

@LOL19520390 @orenba Once again, only they can decide the future is more valuable than the past.

[Steve Plotnicki @steveplotnicki]

@LOL19520390 @orenba Until they decide their future is more valuable than the past. The key is cutting off UNWRA funding

[Steve Plotnicki @steveplotnicki]

@LOL19520390 @orenba Sorry fighting is the only way forward

[Steve Plotnicki @steveplotnicki]

@LOL19520390 @orenba Yes fight until they accept it. There is no other option. Everything else is a trick to expel the Jews and confiscate what they built

[Steve Plotnicki @steveplotnicki]

@LOL19520390 @orenba Tens of millions of people have been displaced over the past 150 years. They live peaceful lives because they value the future more than they value the past. There will not be peace until the Palestinians accept that premise.

@JosephJakeKlein Classical morality and justice would help them relocate
