@StillIRise1963 Too many. @hannu_ikonen
@DemocracyMattersALot Oh ffs.
This is really for my non-Jewish friends...
I know to many of you, Zionism appears to be a left/right issue, that is you believe that Zionist Jews are right wing, and non or anti-Zionist Jews are left wing.
This is not the case.
Zionism is an issue that does not fall neatly in the left/right political paradigm. Early Israeli Zionism was extremely left, even Communist in nature, and modern diasporatic Jews, many of whom are left-learning, are also Zionists.
If you're a gentile and wondering where you should fall on Zionism, the answer is generally: no where.
Zionism is a Jewish issue, deeply tied to Jewish thought and the Jewish experience. It's not a matter for you to weigh in on, and it's generally not a "political" issue, even though it has political implications.
As for Babka, it is not a Zionist or non-Zionist instance. We don't exclude or gatekeep Jews based on their stance towards Zionism.

@jadevol Never let go of your sense of humor.
@jadevol Right. And remember we have no guarantees anyway.
When I finished my treatments I asked my oncologist if I was cured or if I was in remission. His response? “If in ten years, the cancer comes back, you were in remission. If in ten years you’re hit by a bus and killed, then I cured your ass."
The White House is picking a fight with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) after her hometown newspaper in Floyd County touted federal public safety grants the area was set to receive through the American Rescue Plan.
Greene, along with every other House Republican, voted against the American Rescue Plan in March 2021.
@jadevol That part is awful.
Trump has changed HIS OWN STORY at least five times on this ONE topic.

@jadevol The trouble with cancer is, no matter how long you live after surviving it, you will never go a day without thinking about it. As for me, I cry harder when I hear about someone else who didn’t make it when I did.
ON SECOND THOUGHT
I believe Special Counsel Jack Smith is planning on charging Trump in New Jersey for this and other crimes that took place at his Bedminster resort.
The charges in Florida occurred at his Mar-a-Lago residence.
Call it a hedge against Trumper Judge Aileen Cannon, who is the head judge in Florida.

Not to condescend to my fellow leftist humanist Christians out there, but as an atheist, I have to ask --
If the Big Guy with a robe, sandles and a beard is "somewhere" up there looking down on you, doesnt it stand to reason that Canada killed his ass dead from asphyxiation the last couple of months?
Seems like their next target is the Pope.
