It's ridiculous that Israeli Rabbis signed a paper saying it was "okay" to bomb anything. I'm Jewish, and I won't admit to entirely understand what our Halakhah or religious law says about wartime, but there's literally a commandment that says you aren't allowed to burn or cut down fruit (olive trees). There are laws prohibiting fraudulently altering the land boundaries of your neighbors or destroying their landmarks, which is happening right now in the West Bank.

I just have to say, whatever Israeli Rabbis might use our texts to prove, they're sellouts. They do not represent Judaism. The represent Israel. I'm fine with anyone owning the land as long as Jewish people can live and visit there safely, but it should never come at the expense of anyone else.

I believe you.

I don't personally know any Jewish people but I've seen so many stand up and against Israel's atrocities.

Gather together and shout "not in our name."

How dare you kill innocent men, women and children in our name.

Holocaust survivors speaking up and demanding their stories not be twisted to justify this genocide, like Norman Finkelstein.

This isn't a war of religions, it's of the coloniser and the colonised.

The occupier and the occupied.

Their is no justification for wanting to bomb a hospital or any place sheltering civilians and the wounded.

It is very much a war crime and violates international law.

And it's not just Rabbi, it's doctors in Israel as well calling for the bombing of Al Shifa Hospital.

Which is disgusting.

Criticising Israel's actions does not equal antisemitism.

It also ignores the Jewish Palestinians who are being bombed and killed.

And I sincerely hope that every Jewish person against Zionism, who are against this genocide, are safe.

At the end of the day we are fighting the same fight, on the same side.

Free Palestine.

Preview pages for The Battle of Pumpkin King comic that were posted here.

So, for the elephant in the room - it turns out *Sally* will be in the comic, but what looks to be a young version of herself. This immediately retcons The Pumpkin King Game, where they meet for the first time. Curious what her backstory is going to be in here!!

Secondly - Jack doing science, with Doctor Finkelstein! My headcanon is VALIDATED <3

It’s almost Halloween so OFCOURSE we need Nightmare Before Christmas AU Stobotnik. Jack and Sally would have been the classic choice but there’s literally a mad doctor character in the movie with a banging wifey so Dr. Finkelstein and the missus it is. Also, this way Metal can the child i.e. Sally. I made him a bit more organic to fit the ragdoll thing better.

+ A Badnik Baby ‘cause no way in any universe is Robotnik not making robots, and treating them as his kids, full stop.

Rambling thoughts: When you think about the original Dr. Finkelstein and Sally’s relationship it’s really fucked. He wanted to make a wife but instead ended up with a daughter that he was high-key abusive towards. The isolation and the excuse of “you are not ready yet” (which I think is BS but even if it were true shouldn’t Finkelstein then accompany Sally to the city events so that it would be safe for her to experience things and idk grow tolerance or whatever but that’s IF Finkelstein was a good dad) and since he is so displeased with Sally, he doesn’t even provide her with proper clothing. Yes, it adds to the ragdoll vibe, but not cool for a caregiver.

So! My thoughts for this AU on why Metal only wears that ragged shirt/dress even though Robotnik and Stone are good parents who dote on their son and not neglective. Since it’s actually frickin canon that Stone is a dress-up loving guy, I’d say that NBC!Stone hates that raggy shirt with a passion. The story behind it is that when Dr Robotnik was creating Metal and there was the whole “it’s alive!!!” lightning bolt moment, Robotnik would not have thought about providing clothing for his newest child. So since Stone happened to be somewhere else, he’d just grab whatever pieces of cloth he finds and quickly stitch them up to something wearable just so that Metal wouldn’t need to be naked in the chilly lab. But, like some children are with their first plushie, Metal LOVES the first piece of clothing he got, especially since it was made by the daddy who isn’t into clothing stuff, so he never wants to take it off. It drives Stone mad, since he ofcourse makes Metal all kinds of stuff and wants him to look snazzy in every season&occasion and have the whole family in matching outfits etc. But Metal is like “Nope! I want the rag!!”. Stone can barely get him out of it when he needs to gently hand-wash the threadbare thing and he’s just like pleeease, can I throw it away? 😭 But ofc he won’t ‘cause Metal really loves it. Stone just hopes that one day Metal will grow out of it.

The Akatsuki dressing up as Nightmare Before Christmas characters. Nagato as Jack Skellington. Konan as Sally the rag doll. Deidara, Itachi and Hidan as Lock, Shock and Barrel (the Boogeyman’s child henchmen) with Kakuzu being Oogie Boogey. Obito being the clown with the tearaway face (really fits because the clown sounds all silly and childish at first but then he rips off his face ((aka mask)) and his voice suddenly becomes deep and terrifying). Sasori being the weird old Doctor Finkelstein who spends all day in his tower((lab)) creating things. Having a tiny bit of trouble thinking of good roles for Kisame and Zetsu, tho 🤔 Any suggestions? Wait wait, possibly Zetsu could be the mayor with two faces. Hm. Oh oh and I THINK one of the characters was the creature from the black lagoon, so, Kisame 😊

Hello! 1, 8 and 10 for the age gap ask game for Dr. Finkelstein? :3

Age gap self ship asks

1. How big is the age gap between you and your F/O?

Alice is around her late 20s and Fink seems to be in his 70s or possibly even 80s. So a pretty big gap! Of course these aren’t their exact ages since they and everyone else in the Halloween realm is some sort of creature or monster that don’t have the same lifespan or even age the same as humans, considering just how long the holiday has been around (Samhain). But I use human ages for them to make things much simpler.

8. Does the age gap in your relationship lend itself to a power dynamic, or are things balanced between the two of you?

Basically balanced between the two, all things considered. They respect each other and understand they both have their own strengths and weaknesses.

10. Has your relationship ever been mistaken for something other than romantic?

The Zombie Mother once thought Alice was merely a servant girl or maid to the good Doctor. And in one silly little “non-canon” AU where the two live in a more modern reality, Alice and Fink pretend to be in a granddaughter/grandfather relationship while out in public.

It’s election season in Europe, and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has decided that George Soros can again win him votes. “The Soros network is embedded in the European institutions. They are so embedded that the European institutions give them money to operate,” Orban said in late March on his near-weekly interview with public broadcaster Kossuth Radio. “They’re in the Commission, in the Parliament, and quite a few prime ministers are clearly Soros holdouts.”

Between June 6 and 9, citizens in all 27 European Union member states will choose a new Parliament, and Orban kicked off his campaign in Hungary with a fresh dose of attack politics. Brussels, he said in his March interview, was “increasingly becoming a prisoner of the international network of activists that George Soros has built up over the last 30 years with great effort.”

This isn’t the first time Orban has used Soros, the Hungarian Jewish financier and philanthropist, as a punching bag in an election campaign. He has done so before to win elections in Hungary. What is new this time, however, is that Orban’s spokesperson immediately translated his boss’s stinging attack on Soros from Hungarian into English and posted the translation on X (formerly Twitter). Clearly, the attack is being taken to a new, European level.

How attack politics works, and why the Hungarian prime minister has used it often during the last 10 years, is described in a 2019 BuzzFeed News article, “The Unbelievable Story of the Plot Against George Soros.” (An earlier version appeared in the Swiss magazine Das Magazin.) It tells the story of two American spin doctors who designed Orban’s first hate campaign against Soros back in 2013, managing to turn Soros—who got rich in the United States and poured billions of dollars of his fortune into organizations supporting democratic governance and freedom of speech all over the world—into Hungary’s most hated man within weeks. In fact, their anti-Soros smear campaign was such a success that Orban, who himself worked at the Soros-funded Central European Research Group and studied briefly on a Soros scholarship at the University of Oxford, won the election.

These two spin doctors, Arthur Finkelstein and George Birnbaum—Jewish themselves—worked with a simple idea: If you want to win elections, make sure you go on the attack. The underlying assumption is that many voters know whom they will vote for. Consequently, it is difficult to motivate them to vote for another candidate. Demoralizing them, however, is easier. You discredit your political opponent with a volley of accusations, mostly false, so your opponent’s supporters will start having doubts. As a result, some will not vote. Others will defect to you. Finkelstein and Birnbaum called this “rejectionist voting.”

The duo used this technique first in Israel in 1995, just after Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination. New elections were scheduled, with the social democrat Shimon Peres as the designated winner. Very few observers gave the young conservative Likud candidate Benjamin Netanyahu, who was polling 20 percentage points behind, any chance. Netanyahu contracted Finkelstein and Birnbaum to help him get out of the underdog position. They told him the only way he would have a chance of winning would be if his campaign focused on spreading the rumor that Peres intended to give half of Jerusalem to the Palestinians. Peres did not want to do that; it was a complete fabrication. But the more the line spread, the more journalists asked him about it. Instead of pushing and discussing his own political agenda, Peres was forced to defend himself against Netanyahu’s lie. Netanyahu completely trapped Peres and, to the surprise of many, won the 1996 election, with more than 50 percent of the vote. This is how Netanyahu’s spectacular rise in politics began.

In the early 2000s, Finkelstein and Birnbaum helped Bulgarian and Romanian politicians gain power with similar campaigns. Then Netanyahu introduced them to another ambitious politician in Europe: Viktor Orban. He had been prime minister between 1998 and 2002 before losing power. Orban felt so humiliated that he swore he would never lose again. In 2010, the spin doctors advised him to conduct a tough, polarizing campaign against bureaucrats and foreign investors. It worked: Orban’s alliance won a comfortable two-thirds majority in the National Assembly, and the social democrats suffered a stinging defeat that they still have not recovered from today.

During the next election, in 2014, the opposition hardly managed to get a word in. Still, Orban took no chances and again consulted the advisors who had helped him win earlier. They told him he needed a scapegoat with a familiar face. They suggested he use Soros and depict him as a Jewish financier with a secret political agenda: to weaken Hungary and then dominate it. According to some reports, this campaign fueled antisemitism in the country; however, since Hungary keeps no official data on antisemitism, the EU’s rights watchdog, the Vienna-based Agency for Fundamental Rights, found it hard to substantiate this claim.

During this campaign, Orban blamed all his problems on Soros and his “tentacles”—from the financial and economic crises that had hit the country to the arrival of refugees from war-torn Syria and other countries. In 2014 and again in 2018, Orban won elections, consolidating his grip on power in Hungary. In the run-up to the 2018 vote, posters appeared all over Hungary depicting Soros with the text: “Don’t let Soros have the last laugh.” That year, the Hungarian government also forced Central European University (CEU), founded and partially funded by Soros, out of the country. CEU eventually found refuge in Vienna, from where it still operates.

As Birnbaum once said, “It’s good to have an enemy,” calling Soros a “good target.” Soros was defenseless. If he fought back, he would only crank up the rumor machine. If he entered the Hungarian political fray, Orban could accuse him of being power-hungry. So he did not say anything, and the rumor spread anyway.

Birnbaum’s father survived Auschwitz. (Finkelstein, who was much older, died in 2017.) That their campaigns featured racist tropes and fueled antisemitism does not seem to bother Birnbaum in the least. Once he asked an interviewer: “Can I not attack someone because he is a Jew?”

While Orban successfully won two Hungarian elections deploying the “Soros monster,” the first time he used this strategy to win a European election was in 2019. Posters went up picturing then-Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and Soros, with the words: “You have the right to know what Brussels is cooking up!” Orban’s campaign then focused on migration: Brussels’s “secret” plan to use migrant visas to flood Europe with immigrants and Europe’s so-called attempts to prevent Hungary from guarding its external borders.

Soros largely kept quiet, but Juncker—who had once called the Hungarian prime minister a “dictator”—immediately began to refute the charges. He strongly denied Brussels was working on secret migrant visas or was hindering border guards. In short, Orban’s strategy went according to plan. His alliance won 53 percent of the vote.

That the Hungarian prime minister is having his attacks on Soros translated into English this time is telling. A Hungarian diplomat once told me, “Viktor Orban thinks Europe will either be his Europe or Emmanuel Macron’s Europe.” In countries such as France, where far-right politician Jordan Bardella from Marine Le Pen’s National Rally is clearly the front-runner, the election campaign is dominated by a similar binary choice: Europe will be shaped by the likes of Macron or the National Rally.

Now that several far-right parties in different countries do not want to leave the EU anymore because of what Swedish politician Carl Bildt has called the “BTP effect”—meaning, Brexit, Trump, Putin—they seem to want to instead enter European politics for the first time and attempt to change it from the inside. Consequently, they are trying to form coalitions to maximize their influence. Orban told a party congress last year that Europe needs to be changed, not ditched.

Herbert Kickl of the Freedom Party of Austria, Geert Wilders of the Dutch Party for Freedom, and several other far-right politicians are starting to talk more and more about what they want with Europe: ditching climate legislation, changing the existing migration policy, and blocking aid for Ukraine. In the run-up to this year’s elections, the European center-right is already moving somewhat in this direction, just as it does in member states when it tries to prevent voters from fleeing to the far right. Several polls, while showing that the center will hold after the elections in June, have predicted substantial gains for the far right in several member states.

According to Paul Lendvai, a Hungarian journalist in Vienna who has written a critical biography of the Hungarian prime minister, Orban has Hungary “in his pocket, and Europe will be his next step.” He seems intent on using—or rather abusing—Soros to this end once more. Europe had better be prepared.
