@smeg @TonyStark what if I told you that zionism is merely the right of Jews to self-determine in parts of their ancestral lands, and that the majority of Jews are opposed to the West Bank settlements?
The reason why our hackles are raised by this is that people frequently mistake criticism of Israeli policy in the West Bank and Gaza for anti-zionism. It's not - anti-zionism calls for the abolishment of the entire state of Israel, with no regard for where the millions of Jews living there would go.

Ranked Choice Voting is our quickest, most accessible path towards ending the two-party monopoly that our Electoral College has created and it will increase voter turnout because more Americans will feel their votes can matter more. Voter apathy is what has allowed the far-right to accrue so much power.
In Alaska’s new election system, it “gave citizens greater choice and elevated the most broadly appealing candidates, in turn improving representation.”

"It’s on those people to do better."
You are absolutely correct.
The backlash you have endured shows people are allowing their emotions to prevail over any critical thinking, unfortunately.
I am so sorry people have not learned there is a immense difference between the Netanyahu Government and the Israeli people.
And there is NO EXCUSE for blaming Jewish people here for the ACTIONS of a GOVERNMENT in ANOTHER COUNTRY!!

I'm surprised that so many people don't know this.

"We've always done it that way"
Is not an acceptable answer or justification.
@TonyStark Cause the police have nothing better to do with their time.
@bmacDonald94 True, but they’re wasting their time going to the White House. They’d have as much luck at the local Piggly Wiggly. @benjancewicz

House Democrats will always protect Social Security and Medicare.
@benjancewicz What, exactly, do they think the White House can do? They should chain themselves to the Knesset. @bmacDonald94

So in Texas, you can now be arrested (along with your doctors) if you have a miscarriage and you can be arrested on site for "suspicion" of being "illegal" (meaning if you have brown skin).
A large amount of accounts on this platform seem to be too consumed with yelling at American Jews to even care about what’s going on here.

On the way home yesterday, @sheilasmall and I stopped at the most wonderful little Bonsai farm off I-10 near Marianna FL. This is what I bought.
@kolev We eat that a lot, although sometimes it’s mashed taters instead of mac & cheese. @shekinahcancook

Given the alternative is authoritarian fascism… yes.
I’m all for putting pressure on candidates and trying to get better candidates, but it’s unlikely anyone on our side other than Bidenis going to win the next general election. Yes, we’re being held hostage, but not by the Dems.
@QasimRashid I had to revisit your comment here. You say “you keep bringing up Hamas,” yet this is the first time you and I have had the conversation, so I can only assume. When you use the word “you,” you are referring to Jews in general. Since the first thing on your list was freeing the hostages, you have to mention Hamas, since they took the hostages.
