In short, stop using someone’s Jewish identity as a jumping-off point for political debates. Let people celebrate their holidays and culture without being burdened by the weight of your agenda. It’s Hanukkah, not a geopolitical Q&A session. 🕎

In 1960, jazz pianist Dave Brubeck canceled a 25-date tour of colleges and universities across the American south after 22 schools had refused to allow his Black bassist, Eugene Wright, to perform.
He also canceled a TV show where they didn't want to show Eugene on camera.

The US may have put a man on the moon, but Denmark put an entire population on free healthcare.

@PamelaBarroway So christians have too make sure everyone knows that by pointing it out? @noondlyt @timo21

@noondlyt Because it makes those who do celebrate feel like outsiders. Lonely feeling. @timo21

@timo21 I've never seen it -- except for last year when I did it to see if anyone noticed. (They didn't.) Celebrating Christmas in January is no exception since you'll still wish them happy Christmas, as people have been doing since Halloween. @noondlyt

@noondlyt Why do we specify "for those who celebrate" with Chanukah, but not with Christmas? @timo21

@AlliFlowers

Thanks for clarifying that for me

Israel has closed its embassy in Ireland.

And now, in a perfect and perfectly Irish riposte to Israel’s genocide and petulance, the abandoned former embassy on Shelbourne Road in the grand Lansdowne area of Dublin is to be turned into a museum of Palestine, so it is, in cooperation with the Palestine Museum US, which published its version of an Irish jig at the news
