On Simchat Torah, the Haftarah portion is Joshua 1. Historians date the completion of the Book of Joshua to between 640-540 BC, more than a thousand years before Muhammad. And “from the river to the sea” is right there.

If you care about indigeneity, the Jews were there first.

@writercsjohnson This is almost exactly a joke from the Book of Mormon musical - “So the Bible is a trilogy and the Book of Mormon is Return of the Jedi?”

@pegobry_en Related - the things the global left hates about Netanyahu (the military actions) are not the things the Israeli opposition hates about Netanyahu (the catering to haredi draft dodging, corruption, the judicial reform bill)

@ArtoriusNZ You don’t say?

(You know, if you name yourself for a character who maintains a massive surveillance apparatus to stop threats to the crown before they materialize, I’d think you’d have more sympathy for the Mossad…)

@yekkemist @bethanyshondark Even better, since the tradition started during Passover and it’s also a petting zoo, they rename it the “Chad Gadya Azoosment Park” for the day!

Capitalism is when a terrorist organization takes over your country, starts a war, forces you into refugee tents, and then charges you for the privilege to fund more terrorism.

@TVietor08 ChatGPT’s ability to block content has some real holes (this example is about copyright, not violence):

@emzanotti I’d say maybe something in the green paint is messing with Hulk actors’ heads, except I know all the Hulk-ing is done with CGI.

@DanielJHannan @HAHazony And what started in 2023? A concentrated propaganda campaign coordinated with Hamas’s 10/7 attacks, aided and abetted by the British press (including the government press).

Physician, heal thyself.

@emzanotti 2 weeks, all expenses paid? A week at Universal staying at Hard Rock, a week at Disney staying at Polynesian or Grand Floridian, with one day at Discovery Cove - sounds pretty good to me.

@rkylesmith We could have lost Ted in 2 ways - Mark Wahlberg was also supposed to be on Flight 11!

[Brian Beck @tigerhawk310]

@SpaceToaster05 @creepydotorg Yes, the government really wanted to fake a terrorist attack, but they also wanted to make sure we didn’t lose “Ted” 11 years later.

The problem with current South Park isn’t that they make fun of Trump; it’s that there’s no wit or cleverness to it. The Garrison-Trump seasons were really funny! But now it’s just “small penis” jokes. They used to mock that kind of “comedy”: https://t.co/ZszYW7I7zR

@HistoryBoomer It’s not. Private apology to the Jewish Democratic Caucus, not public apology to Temple Israel or the Jewish community. Says the context was appropriate, just at the wrong time - so he still thinks the Hezbollah conflict was appropriate context for a terror attack on U.S. Jews.

@emzanotti …do people not realize that the prices are marked up on Door Dash, even before they apply service and delivery charges and fees?

@AkivaAckerman The kosher family room at the Cleveland Clinic, Mayfield hospital, has a similar code (but slightly easier—Torah references rather than Talmud.)
