@pewnack I ask everyone who comes along demanding instant peace and offering solutions like “returning the hostages,” “sending Bibi to The Hague,” and “getting rid of illegal settlers.” Yes. We all want that. But unless you have a recommendation as to HOW, just STFU already. @QasimRashid
@pewnack I’m good with the end of Netanyahu. Overlooking intelligence is not the same thing as killing, torturing, and capturing innocent civilians. I want them both to face justice. I simply ask how you propose to accomplish that. @QasimRashid
@pewnack So why do you want to base a response on his actions alone? Is he holding a private war with himself? @QasimRashid
@QasimRashid It’s just that I’m focusing on the present, not what has happened over the thousands of years of past history. Start with what happens NOW. TODAY.

Cydney Wallace, a Black Jewish community activist, never felt compelled to travel to Israel, though "Next year in Jerusalem" was a constant refrain at her Chicago synagogue.
The 39-year-old said she had plenty to focus on at home, where she frequently gives talks on addressing anti-Black sentiment in the American Jewish community and dismantling white supremacy in the U.S.
This is how to bring down Moms for Liberty.

@QasimRashid How do you propose getting it done? How are you going to get the criminals to The Hague for prosecution? (Cause if there’s a way, we need to get Putin there, too.) Do you truly believe Hamas will just release the hostages?
@QasimRashid What is your answer then? None of us believe that more war would be good, but we’re all waiting for someone to recommend an action rather than an inaction.
All the 'keep Christ in Christmas' folks trying to impose their backward theocratic rule on all of us might be surprised to learn the Puritans they regard as the true founders of this country BANNED Christmas altogether.
Any observation of the holiday, whether taking the day off or preparing a feast, came with a five shilling fine.

Ironically I think many Jews are like myself and would much prefer that Christians keep the Christ in Christmas and stop pretending that it's a secular holiday.
Immigrants built this country and make it great. Denounce the lie that immigrants are destroying America.
The GOP attitude that immigrants, anyone different or not white, must be the problem in America is a lie.
The people who want America to be only white and straight are xenophobic, homophobic, despisers of themselves.
At our roots, unless we're Native Americans, we all come from immigrant blood. The irony and hypocrisy is that they don't want Native Americans to be thriving here either.
