אהבת כל המעשים כולם היא קודמת לכל, אח"כ אהבת כל האדם, אחריה אהבת ישראל, שהיא כוללת הכל, שעתידין ישראל לתקן את כל המעשים כולם. וכל אהבות אלה הם אהבות מעשיות, לאהוב אותם לעשות להם טובה ולגרום להם עילוי, ונעלה על כולן אהבת ד', שהיא אהבה שבפועל, אינה גוררת בעצמותה שום דבר, כי-אם מה שהלב מלא ממנה זה […]

[A perspective from a liberal Zionist, machine-assisted translation of an opinion piece from Ha'aretz] "The National pride and euphoria that followed the Six Days War is temporary, and will carry us from proud nationalism to messianic extreme nationalism. The third stage will be [self-] […]

עשיתי טעות וקראתי את המאמר הראשון באתר של הארץ. בחיי שאם לא היו לי ילדים הייתי עושה את מה שעשה סטפן צווייג

Looks like if this bill passes, ICE will have roughly 5 times the budget of the IDF in 2023

Just heard for the first time the baby come out with a clear, perfectly enunciated "oy vey"

"אני יכול לומר שאני שמח מאוד על ההזדמנות שניתנה לי לראות מקרוב מה סטודנטים אמריקאים, פעילים פוליטיים המגדירים עצמם פרו־פלסטינים וחלקם גם אנטי־ציונים, באמת חושבים. במהלך השנה היו במכללה הפגנות נגד ישראל, הוקמו בה מאהלי סולידריות עם הסובלים בעזה, ופעם אחת פעילים השתלטו על אחד מבנייני המכללה למשך […]

Ha'aretz: "'No more to be achieved by military means': Israel is hoping that Iran will forgive the humiliation and return to the negotiation table." 😂 🤪😭

You should have heard my Yiddishe Mame when I brought a toy gun home once as a kid. The neighbors sure did... But those yarmulke wearing idolators in Israel clutch their guns and rockets and cannons like they're their very own precious members. No wonder I ran away from there as soon as I could […]

God should save me from getting in fights with people on the Internet for the rest of the day. Because I sure am in the mood for it

I'm so tired

Hey, Liberal #Zionist #Jews and ​allies of Israeli Arab minorities, here's a chance to potentially save some literal lives. #StandingTogether, Palestinian+Jewish group in #Israel that's been organizing community safety patrols in Israel, relief for Gaza, and an […] [Original post on dybbuk.club]

For the record I don't care if Iran gets nukes, except insofar as I'm in favor of a nuclear weapon free middle east, and I think that if Iran gets nukes it might be able to trade them for Israeli disarmament

"This is the first known instance of active-duty troops deployed by Donald Trump detaining a civilian. The incident took place at the Wilshire Federal Building, where Marines took charge of the mission to protect the building earlier on Friday, in a rare domestic use of US troops after days of […]

Hey everyone in the US, good luck tomorrow. I'll be observing the Sabbath, but I'll be thinking about you all

Applebaum on LA: The Trump/Musk/Miller/Vought attempt to upend our democracy has met resistance. So what do they do now? "Find compromises or polarize society further"? Like the Bolsheviks and Maoists, "Trump has chosen radicalization and polarization, and he is openly seeking to provoke […]

When it comes to #jews, what's the difference between center, right, and left? Both have their pretty Jews taking photo ops next to guys who pressure the Protocols. In the case of this new MAHA guy, it's even the same person! I'd say that we need to bring back cherem for Jews who legitimize […]

Community cafe in SF vandalized because it's owned by a Jewish person. From their GoFundMe: "Under the cover of nearby ICE protests, agitators smashed windows, defaced the building with hateful slurs, and scrawled threats like “Die Zio,” “The Only Good Settler is a Dead One,” “Death 2 Israel […]

If you stop thinking that Germany's response to anything Israel is about Holocaust guilt and instead about rewriting German history, you'd understand German politics better. 🧵 below and also https://www.hauntologies.net/p/germany-wants-to-rewrite-its-holocaust

From today's online front page of a left-leaning newspaper: "The Masters of the Land A powerful Deep State operates in the [country]. In hidden rooms, with whispers and insinuations, a small group of men who were not democratically elected to their positions steer the fate of the citizens of […]

I guess that it is becoming open season on Jews—ironically, not from the Nazis. Of course, the only winners, in reality, are Trump and Netanyahu. Imagine, right now, trying to tell Jewish people that the real threat is the far right! And who is responsible? Of course, some of the responsibility […]

Reading Gessen's book, The Future Is History right now was very.... Interesting. Especially the section on "Homo Sovieticus..." I'm reminded of a thought I had years ago, when I first came to the US, about the similarities between Soviet totalitarianism and capitalist society on the […]

Here's my hard line: anyone who advocates for ethnic cleansing and blood-and-soil is fash. They can call it whatever they want—national liberation, decolonization, way of the world, a five year plan, Torah, they can call it chimodanchik and it'll still be ethnic cleansing and blood-and-soil and […]
