I’m so happy that us “younger generations” are loving Jewish culture and starting Jewish establishments… but when you start a new Jewish Delicatessen, could you make it kosher???? Could you please include observant Jews in your projects????

"Peace activist Hamza Howidy was compelled to flee from Gaza to Germany in August 2023, via Egypt and Greece. As an outspoken opponent of Hamas, he was unable to find employment in Gaza, as jobs were predominantly allocated to supporters of Hamas. Furthermore, Hamza was severely mistreated and tortured by Hamas, which is internationally recognized as a terrorist organization. Under these life-threatening circumstances, he had no choice but to leave his homeland. According to the so-called Dublin II Regulation, Hamza now faces deportation to Greece, as it was the first European country he entered. However, his safety cannot be guaranteed in Greece: many refugees residing there share the ideology of Hamas and are aware of Hamza’s staunch opposition to them. As a result, there is a significant risk to his life and physical safety should he be returned there. Germany, through its international commitments and fundamental values, is obliged to offer protection to those who are politically persecuted or whose lives and safety are at risk. In the case of Hamza Howidy, it is therefore imperative to grant him permanent residency in Germany in order to protect his life and provide him with a future in safety and dignity. We therefore earnestly urge you to sign and share this petition to support Hamza Howidy and enable him to remain in Germany."

so hamza howidy, a palestinian peace activist, is threatened to be deported from germany, here's a link to sign the petition.

It has been abundantly clear to me that the pro-Palestine movement's antisemitism, anti-Israelis-as-people sentiment, glorification of violence, and all the other components of the shit stew that I'm currently too angry to articulate, were going to lead to extreme violence, including against Jews in diaspora. I have been telling y'all for over a year and a half to collect your fucking people and you will not do it. I have been trying to educate gently and with nuance and provide a voice that is neither "there's no antisemitism in the movement" nor "antizionism is antisemitism." And yet somehow for either the message does not get through or frankly many of you just do not give a shit. Setting Jews in Colorado on fire will not free Palestine and frankly you are really stupid if you think it will, and also you and I are different because as a general principle I think setting people on fire is bad and you don't.

Anyway I could not be more fucking over it. Your movement is cooked as hell and is also not in any sense "leftist" or "radical." It's actually reactionary as fuck. At this point if you continue to refuse to speak up in your activist spaces and collect your people I will no longer be assuming you just need some gentle education, I will assume that it is intentional and you either agree with the bullshit or are prioritizing your personal social standing.

The IDF has confirmed a DNA match on the remains of Kfir and Ariel Bibas, as well as those of Oded Lifshitz.

Alarmingly, they say the 4th body is not a DNA match for Shiri Bibas, or any of the other remaining hostages.

“God poured me out like milk and curdled me like cheese” sounds like a post you’d find on tumblr dot com, but it is in fact Job 10:10
