“Boeing said space mission is ‘going well’ as astronauts stranded” is an actual headline that’s not from The Onion.

Zionism is the idea that Jews can have self-determination and Israel should exist as a place for Jews.

This is the definition. Other definitions made by non-Jews don't matter.

If Jews want to create a new term or re-define the term in some way to make more clarifications on the various issues, I'm happy to listen to that and decide how I want to self-identify within that context.

What I don't accept is any non-Jews defining my identity for me or demanding that I use any specific terms for myself because it pleases them to do so.

I especially resent when a non-Jew takes an existing Jewish identity term and redefines it for their own purpose.

That's antisemitic.

Oklahoma: Supt. Ryan Walters Orders Public Schools to Teach the Bible - MAGAs do not care about Law or the constitution.

I'm going nuts with all the posts I'm seeing about Biden and Gaza.

Yes, I hate what's happening in Gaza.
Yes, Biden is president.
No, there's nothing he can legally do to stop it. He can encourage Bibi to stop slaughtering people - and he is. He can delay shipments of weapons - and he is. He can't violate US law or signed treaties. He's not a dictator, here or in Israel. He can't just do whatever he wants.

And, seriously - how would ANY of this be better with Trump?!?!?

Tonight, for the first time ever, the President of the United States will share the stage with a convicted felon, rapist, terrorist, traitor and mass murderer.

You know, it seems to me that George W. Bush should stand up and endorse Joe Biden for the sake of Democracy.
Congrats to Adam Kinzinger 👏
A quick edit and FYI:
I did not vote for George.
I didn't agree with or like his political agenda.
I'm not a Republican, nor have I ever been.
I'm simply making a statement about DEMOCRACY.

"There’s a lot at stake, particularly for CNN."

This strikes me as a ridiculous sentence. I thought the stakes were particularly acute for #democracy.

CREW has filed a new complaint with the following request: The FBI and Department of Justice should investigate whether Donald #Trump violated the law by promising political favors, if re-elected, to the oil and gas industry in exchange for $1 billion in campaign donations.

It is profoundly telling that we even need a term like "Zionism" to describe such a basic right.

The absurdity becomes even more apparent when considering that the United Nations established Israel as the homeland for the Jewish people, in coexistence with Arabs and other residents of the region, in 1948.

The necessity for a specific term to defend the Jewish people's right to their own homeland underscores the unique and persistent challenges we face.

The spread of antisemitism through lies and false narratives not only distorts the truth but also undermines the legitimate and historical connection of the Jewish people to the land previously called Palestine and before that Judea and Samaria.

All these acts of blunt hate towards Jewish people in the past year stress is the need for us to have our own country and army...

Because clearly, no country seems too eager to protect us.

@FrankFrank Yes. Can you imagine how much a better place the world would havce been if for 8 years we had Al Gore instead of W and his puppet master Cheney. The CLIMATE... Al Gore's personal mission. An Obama-class Paris climate accord signed a DECADE earlier? And no stupid fake pretense Iraq war, that unleashed ISIS and the whole refugee nightmare in Europe (and resulting resurgence of Nazism). That 2000 decision is still echoing today...
