the thing about BE is that he doesn't actually think antisemitism is real, and so all acts of antisemitism can only definitionally be political statements against Israel.

A central Yiddish speaker singing a song about a little white whale on the go: Bayby belige in the deep blou sea.

I think if that guy who has a pathological urge to defend Cliff Connolly's antisemitism knew anything that he thinks he knows he probably wouldn't be so adamant that everyone "look up Rabbi Schneerson" as if he was some little known leader of a secretive cult.

Can think of two things wrong with this so-called grasshopper

What're genealogy bsky's opinions on whether the Horowitz family is really descended from the Yizhari family? I know it's been disputed but is there a consensus one way or the other? As far as I can tell from the geni forum where they were severed, people seem to be saying that YDNA confirms it.

Incredibly glad that we have the ADL to stop this kind of thing by uhhh organizing to have college students who say Free Palestine deported

WOKE KATHY I'M BEGGING YOU

A man walks into a bar and asks, "what's this vase doing here?" "Oh that's just our bar vase," says the bartender. The man takes a duck out of his bag and says "should I not have brought my own?"

Finally found through someone else's MyHeritage tree that the two families with the same surname in the shtetl of my grandfather's family are indeed related. Confusing part was that one branch married into another branch of my family, but we didn't know that they were branches.

throwback to when he called Reform Judaism the most damaging thing to Judaism in all of history

sorry I can't get over the quote: "now the term globalize the infit-intfitada..."

I understand that people like dooming about how we're never going to have elections again, but I really can't imagine that any of this lasts after Trump kicks the bucket, so saying "there will be no next president" just feels weird to me.

The Beatles if they were yeshivish: Everybody's davening shacharis by me and my monkey

you telling me a radio activated this shrimp?

"Dems in disarray" is not actually something to strive for, it is, however, pretty much the default position for the Democratic party, and somehow you've become convinced that anything else would be communism or something. Dems should be in array, at least somewhat, that's the point of a party.

Not to say it's not a good thing to do, but I do find it interesting that smotrich and ben gvir have become the fall guys in terms of who gets sanctions. I mean pretty much everyone in the cabinet could reasonably be sanctioned and I wouldn't bat an eye, but they're the most visibly evil I guess?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.

I'm beginning to think people just genuinely have forgotten how to read things and interpret them

cracker barrel was already woke!!did you not notice how for decades they've sought to humiliate regular, hard working americans with their impossible triangle peg game that isn't even fun and i didn't want to play it anyway

I don't get why people do this performative hating on the Kennedys but leave RFK out, when Ted Kennedy is right there. Like they claim Jack is only given the props he's given because he was martyred, but then do the same thing for Bobby. I don't even really dislike JFK or RFK, but it's weird to me.

The updated ethnicity estimate of my DNA test from like 8 years ago has me now as 100% Ashkenazi Jewish (just now split into eastern, central, and western Europe) which I guess shouldn't be surprising, but I didn't expect them to just be completely wrong about the other things they said I was.

Liz Warren to her absolute credit shows up on CNBC and is willing to call everyone a stupid piece of shit in a way that even Bernie would refrain from

he pointed to pelosi and biden’s repeated statements that they want a “strong republican party” as evidence for their affection for child molesters

I'm convinced this guy i met on ChatGPT is a bot or something

King Herod explaining to his wife why he needs to execute her: so so long Mariamne, but you're a Maccabee, and I can't have hasmonean claimants to the throne.

re: AOC, I don't think she did anything particularly wrong, you can argue whether it's politically prudent to cut iron dome funding or not, but I find it hard to make an argument that she is suddenly pro-israel and/or lying to us about why she voted the way she did.

You ever just reply to a thread from 6 months ago without realizing it? Makes way more sense in context, but wow am I unobservant today.

maybe he was referring to epstein's other, less incriminating secrets

Here’s your free link to the Trump/ Epstein story www.wsj.com/politics/tru...

wow

how I'm feeling right about now

something tells me he's not going to win

A litvak stops a galitsianer and asks if they can ask them a question, the galitsianer says "no," so the litvak asks 9 questions.

So glad I read today's daf yomi when I did, I was about to sell a lion to a gentile.

Anyone here know of a professor Wallemstein who would've been around in 1980 Jerusalem? Closest I can find is a Meir Wallenstein, so I'm thinking that what looks like a מ to me is a weird נ (even though it looks different to another נ in the same document, although also different to another מ).

I'm failing to understand why this quote is him confessing that he's secretly tickled by it. I can see the argument that this is indicative of a lack of strategy not focused purely on reacting to what Republicans do, but I don't think he's being gleeful here.

Many criticized him, but under him conservatives were placed where they belong: mental asylums

is your name actually "בלי בנין"

אַ פערד איז אַ פערד אוואדאי אוואדאי, סײַדן אוואדאי דאָס פערד איז ר' עד.

oh brother

Democrats finally decide to stick to their guns on an issue regardless of polling and they're just wrong about it; incredible political instincts by the leadership, no notes.

illiteracy is a real problem folks

NYC Council Speaker Adrienne Adams just released a statement telling her supporters NOT to rank Cuomo and to rank the full WFP slate (Mamdani, Lander, Myrie)

there will be no more misery when the world is our rotisserie
