I think there needs to be a reckoning about how so many white (passing) American secular/nonpracticing antiZionist Jews can say "Not in my name, Israel doesn't speak for us!" and then think they can speak for Israel. How so many of them can have a limited familial connection to Israel, have such a disdain for Israelis, Israeli culture and society, and Israel as a concept, and then have the gall to act like their opinions matter?

I see their attitudes be described as fear, but to me it strikes me as more than just fear. A lot of them, I suspect, have incorporated antiZionism as a fundamental part of their Jewish identity. It's not just a disagreement, they're not just saving face. Take away the Goyim and talk to them privately and they still believe what they believe, and express it in the same way. They hate Israeli Jews.

And Israel is only going to become less Ashkenazi (aka less "white") as time marches forward. The bad faith hysterical Israel bashing and condescension is only going to look more and more like Orientalism, and frankly, racism.

I think it's very possible that calling something antisemitic can't just be a catchall term when this chicken comes home to roost. I think if there aren't already, there will be distinct forms of antisemitism, some that only Diaspora Jews face and some that only Israeli Jews face. And if this is true or will end up being true, it's pretty important that we not speak over each other's experiences. To do that we have to recognize these experiences and respect them. Do some Israeli Jews disrespect the Diaspora experience? Yes, from what I've seen. Is it nearly as vitriolic and is it growing nearly as quickly as the disrespect for the Israeli experience among antiZionist American Jews? Not even close.

All this divisive language to say: sometimes when Israelis say "so and so is antisemitic!" in the context of antiZionism, they're talking about themselves, their experiences, the stakes for them, and not Americans. So maybe we should all learn to stay in our lanes sometimes.

A lot of Israeli Jews disrespect, or at least are unable to grasp, diaspora existence, particularly when it comes to Americans. I can't even count the number of times I read Israelis say "Why are you American Jews so upset about Trump? Don't you see how good he's been for Israel?" Which is the worst damn argument a person could possibly use - it feeds into both left-wing and right-wing antisemitism, while ignoring that American Jews live HERE and are at risk from Trump's fascist cult and general lawlessness. And it is bad FOR EVERYBODY to have "pro-Israel" become the position of stroke-babbling grotesque racist criminals, and also for America to be too focused on anarchic decomposition and Yugoslav-style street warfare to be able to support Israel like it traditionally has.

And because turds of a feather flush together, Netanyahu wants ALAN DERSHOWITZ to be Israel's advocate if the ICJ case proceeds. I knew Netanyahu was a senile failure undermining all the strengths he had ever built for the country and this is just the shit cherry on top of the shit sundae. Alan Dershowitz is the ultimate stereotype of a Boomer who was kind of useful in the 1980s-90s and became awful and embarrassing now, Trump is surrounded by them (i.e. Rudy Giuliani). Your grandma in Florida remembers Alan Dershowitz for writing "Chutzpah" and being tough and quick-witted, and everybody under 40 knows Dershowitz as a Trump cultist and Epstein fuckbuddy. Big "Vladek Spiegelman can only compare his artist son to Walt Disney" energy. There are surely thousands of lawyers better-suited for the role, just off the top of my head I'd prefer Eugene Kontorovich and so should anyone who is more aware of the world as it actually is than how it was in 1994.

I say all that to parallel your original point, not to contradict it. Yes, the American Jews who performatively loathe Israel are by and large just an Extremely Online phenomenon of the most college-town bubble-protected, least observant, least affiliated, and least aware of non-Ashkenazim. It is not so hard for American Ashkenazim to stay protected from antisemitism as long as they totally unplug from their Jewish identity and any public-facing aspects of it. Can't be killed in a synagogue or JCC or kosher store if you never go in, head tap.

«This is my statement at this grim American moment: As our great writers remind us – from Herman Melville‘s Moby Dick (1851), Eugene O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh (1939) to Toni Morrison’s Beloved (1987) - America seems addicted to self-destruction! The Trumpian fascist takeover of the Republican Party and the mendacious Biden meltdown of the Democratic Party – both committed to genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and neglect of poor people at home – have checkmated what’s left of US democracy. The chickens have come home to roost. We are reaping what we sowed – the blowback of organized greed at the top, weaponized hatred in the middle and massive social misery below.

Only a miracle can get us through. But we must fight back with courage and compassion, with honesty, humility, and hope! You don’t fight fascism with more lies and crimes. Only a moral and spiritual awakening with a class and anti-imperial reckoning can win against fascism!»

According to an anti-Israel Jewish professor at Duke University, Rebecca Stein, the programme is aimed at “remaking the dominant paradigm of Israel Studies as it has been configured in the United States and increasingly in Great Britain, with its proud ‘advocacy’ mandate on behalf of the Israeli state. Birzeit’s programme turns this paradigm inside out, providing students with a radical alternative”.

More fundamentally still, the shocking scenes on campus are the outcome of the west’s willed educational collapse. The understanding of education as the transmission of a culture to the next generation was junked decades ago in favour of a propaganda narrative of western oppression.

This opened the way for the colonisation of curricula by anti-western ideological causes. The admission of students selected on the basis of identity politics rather than intellectual ability further reduced education standards to positively infantile levels.

This was illustrated at Columbia by the keffiyeh-clad Johanna King-Slutzky, who spoke to the media on behalf of the encampment. Jaw-droppingly channelling Hamas’s strategy in Gaza, she stated that the university had an obligation to bring in food and water to the illegal encampment, demanding, “Do you want students to die of dehydration and starvation? … This is like basic humanitarian aid”.

Her remarks attracted widespread incredulity and ridicule. But so should Columbia’s educational standards.

In her biography on Columbia’s website, now deleted, King-Slutzky describes her dissertation as “a prehistory of metabolic rift, Marx’s term for the disruption of energy circuits caused by industrialisation under capitalism … theories of the imagination and poetry as interpreted through a Marxian lens in order to update and propose an alternative to historicist ideological critiques of the Romantic imagination”.

This gobbledygook is beyond parody. Alas, it’s all too typical of what now passes for higher education in America and Britain. The universities, the supposed crucibles of knowledge, intellectual challenge and open minds, are now in the business of propaganda, dumbing-down and the closing of the mind. They have become the principal vehicles for coercing cultural conformity to hatred of both Israel and the west.

In the appalling scenes on campus, a number of monstrous chickens are now coming home to roost.

[thethinkingman]

What will it take to open Americas eyes to the fact that the government and many so called “law enforcement” agencies are working against us? What will it take for America to realize that both Republicans and Democrats are actively working to subvert the constitution, rule of law and individual liberty. Look past the rhetoric and look at the actions and inactions. At this point the country is going to get what it deserves due to our general apathy & laziness. Votes have consequences and as the not so honorable Jeremiah Wright said, Americas chickens are coming home to roost.

In the new chapter of Miraculous World Tour: Gotham, Wayne Enterprises opens its new fashion division, headed by MDC, and a columnist for Style Queen magazine manages to catch Marinette on her first day on the job! Interview below the cut!

STYLE QUEEN BEE Living the Dream: MDC Unmasked

Chloe Bourgeois

Word travels fast in fashion, technology, and big business, so when your Queen Bee got word of Wayne Enterprises' new fashion division, to be headed by none other than elusive fashion newcomer MDC, well, loyal subjects will know I had to get to Gotham as soon as I got the word. One might say I made a beeline, if one were Parisian Hero Chat Noir (or Bludhaven vigilante Nightwing). Once I arrived, all I had to do was check in with the front desk clerk at Wayne Enterprises, a charming young woman who absolutely rocks the executive look and deserves a better position than front desk clerk, and she put me in touch with the up-and-coming fashion mogul almost immediately.

MDC has led something of a charmed life, subjects, as your Queen Bee can attest. I've told you about all the brushes with fame and glory I've had throughout my childhood, but none of those compare to the absolutely meteoric rise of fellow Parisienne Marinette Dupain-Cheng, otherwise known as MDC and, if rumor is to be believed, the newest Wayne. If you've been reading Style Queen Bee since my debut, you'll remember that I haven't always been the shining paragon of magnanimity that I am today, and I am ashamed to say that my relationship with MDC was antagonistic, and that it was entirely due to my own ego that it was. As soon as I walked into her massive office in the executive suites of Wayne Enterprises, to be greeted not only by the elusive fashionista but also the head of Wayne Enterprises' security division as well as two members of his elite team, acting as personal bodyguards, I knew that the chickens had come home to roost.

To her enormous credit, when MDC recognized me, she actually smiled, and your Queen Bee knew she had an interview.

Miss Dupain-Cheng, thank you very much for seeing me on such short notice. On your first day in the office, if I hear correctly.

Not at all, Chloe. I see life in America has been treating you well. And yes, this is my first day in the office. I confess to a bit of confusion as to how you knew I was here.

Well, any Parisian, fashionista, or Jagged Stone fan knew that MDC was in Gotham and was caught up in that nastiness during Jagged's concert. Can you tell us about that?

(awkward chuckle) Kwami, that was a nightmare. Literally. Everything was going brilliantly, and then suddenly it wasn't. I was back in Paris and surrounded by akuma, fighting them off - I sincerely hope I didn't severely hurt any of the rockers who rushed the stage under the influence of the Fear Toxin.

I suppose that your brief stint as the Parisian heroine Multimouse influenced your hallucination, then?

Oui, it did.

Queen Bee's Proclamation: Marinette Dupain-Cheng, much like yours truly, was a temporary wielder of a Miraculous, who was unfortunately unmasked due to my own indiscretions that caused me to have my Miraculous revoked.

I apologize if I'm bringing up painful memories. If it makes you feel any better, I do regret getting you pulled from the team over what I did.

Not at all. Ladybug made it clear that my time as a heroine was to be temporary, and I was very grateful for that - between MDC, normal schoolwork, assisting at the Boulangerie, my duties as Mme. Bustier's class representative... Let's just say that even with the powers of the Mouse Miraculous, there was only so much of me to go around.

Let's talk about MDC. Anyone who knew you in collége (middle school for you Americans) knew you had design talent. How did you get your professional start?

Oh, you were there for that, actually. If you'll recall, there was a class project day where we were assigned to work at Le Grand Paris and your father assigned me a position as Uncle J's gopher?

You're kidding. Did he know you were related at the time?

Oh, Uncle J isn't my biological uncle. At the time he was M. Stone. In any case, he assigned me to find him a pair of Dame de Fer sunglasses, and-

Oh, Jagged's signature French Flag Eiffel Tower sunglasses!

Yes! He wasn't at all happy with the original, understated glasses I found for him, so I set out to make some sunglasses for him. I made the tower design much larger, patterned it after the French flag, and he fell in love.

I seem to recall that at his next show, he performed a song dedicated to Ladybug herself. I don't suppose Lady Luck ever told you what that was about?

In fact, I was there for part of that whole thing. Uncle J had a stalker at the hotel, a self-styled superfan who was akumatized after Jagged declined to pose with him. Uncle J is usually so accommodating, but I suppose the young man simply got in the way at the worst time. In any case, he was akumatized and became the villain Pixelator, and Ladybug and Chat Noir saved Jagged from him.

How does it feel to have your first professional design associated with Ladybug?

Miraculous! (laughter) Honestly, it's an honor to be associated with the heroine of Paris, and as much as she loves the City of Light, having her song associated with the Eiffel Tower and the French flag like that? I like to think she's proud of that, as well.

After the sunglasses, Jagged next turned to you for the album art for his Rock Giant album. Was it a very drastic change for you to switch media from accessories to painting?

Not as much as you'd think. While at heart, I am a designer, sometimes I feel compelled to do design outside of fashion. I have designed furniture, clothing, accessories, two-dimensional art, three-dimensional art... When a creative impulse takes me, I find I can do almost anything to make that vision a reality.

From there, you went on to design tour outfits for Jagged, and later for Clara Nightingale. Did "Uncle Jagged" put you in touch with her?

No, actually, Clara and I met when she came to Paris to film the video for her song "Miraculous."

Oh no. Dupain-Cheng, I am begging you not to tell the rest of this story.

(laughter) Okay, fine, if you don't want me to talk about it, I won't.

Unfortunately, my editor will never forgive me if I let it go at that. So please, do go on and don't spare us the details.

Clara had the brilliant idea that instead of casting based on appearance or skill, she would cast the role of Ladybug based on a test of character.

Ah, so that's how you got the part! Adrien (ed. note: Agreste, former child fashion model) always called you our "Everyday Ladybug."

Indeed he did. He still does, in fact. But yes, Clara "accidentally tripped" when walking past the candidates, and because I rushed out of line to stop her from falling, she chose me to play the part of Ladybug in her video, alongside Adrien as Chat Noir. Anyway, the shoot almost got cancelled and Clara was akumatized because of it, but in the end, we did finish the shoot and I had my brief stint in the limelight.

I should mention that "the shoot almost got canceled" should be rephrased as "Chloe Bourgeois went whining to daddy to get the shoot canceled" because I was a terrible child.

Don't beat yourself up for what you did as a child, Chloe. I'm not sure that "humble" suits you, regardless. Humble Chloe? Ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous!

You shall be hearing from my lawyers regarding the unauthorized use of my trademarked catchphrase.

(laughter)

It was about then that MDC started wearing the mask, right?

Indeed it was. I started doing more and more work that put me adjacent to the public eye, and I was really uncomfortable with that. Not to mention, I was still underage at the time, and it seemed like a good way to protect my identity.

How did your parents take your secret meteoric rise?

Maman et Papa have been nothing but supportive, even when my design work took me away from the Boulangerie. They always said they were so proud of me no matter what I did, and the fact I was chasing my dreams made them even prouder.

And now we get to the juicy bit. Family relations.

Oh, the juicy bit! (laughter) Please, do go on, I'm curious what the rumors have been.

There are a number of rumors surrounding yourself and billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne: That you're a secret love child, another adoptee, a legitimate heir raised in secret away from the Wayne family name... In addition to those rumors, there are the rumors that followed your childhood, that Bruce Wayne was a regular visitor to your parents' home every summer.

Up until Papillon started his attacks, yes. He and my parents were old friends, so I would see Uncle Bruce once or twice a year. Apparently, when they met, he was backpacking across Europe anonymously, not touching his bank accounts or anything, and they were just opening up the Boulangerie, so they let him stay with them while he was in France. There was nothing untoward about the relationship they had, and I genuinely hope to quash any rumors to the contrary.

So the rumors that Wayne had a paternity test performed in secret...?

Actually true, and the results were extremely weird, because Uncle Bruce's insistence on not touching any Wayne money during his travels actually led to a positive test result. He had taken to donating sperm to finance one leg of his trip, and my parents had ended up using donor sperm when they were having problems conceiving.

You're kidding.

What are the odds, n'est pas?

Only you, Dupain-Cheng.

What is that supposed to mean?

You dated Adrien Agreste. You dated Luka Couffaine. You traipsed your way by pure accident into being celebrity adjacent every day of your life since you turned thirteen, and now you've stumbled into being the next Wayne. Is that how you ended up becoming head of Wayne Enterprises' newly christened fashion division?

Yes and no. I'm not going to lie and say that Uncle Bruce doesn't occasionally stack the deck in favor of his children - whether or not they're legally his. Everyone in Gotham knows he does. However, the relationship between WE and MDC was actually initiated by Lucius Fox at the behest of Timothy Drake-Wayne, prior to anyone learning about my relationship with Uncle Bruce. Originally, there wasn't going to be a fashion division, but MDC was going to be acknowledged as an affiliate of Wayne Enterprises roughly equivalent to a division of the company, but more autonomous - Uncle Bruce is big on autonomy. Once he learned of the genetic relationship, Uncle Bruce decided that wasn't sufficient and that instead of being his honorary niece, I was going to be his daughter by hook or by crook.

If Wayne wasn't going to have a Fashion Division prior to your joining the family, what was the nature of your relationship with the company as MDC?

Tim (Drake-Wayne, co-CEO of Wayne Enterprises) was a fan, first of all. Secondly, I had been looking at WE for a while and had contacted M. (Lucius) Fox (head of R&D) about MDC providing custom designs to demonstrate the practicality of some of the company's experimental fabrics as a sort of covert body armor for celebrities and bodyguards. The material was incredible. Lightweight, adaptable. I was fascinated with the possibilities, and M. Fox and I came to an agreement that I would provide some demonstration pieces. I'm afraid that I can't get into any greater detail about the nature of the project or the materials used without violating some rather airtight NDAs, however, so you'll have to wait for the press release from WE.

Are you suggesting that Wayne Enterprises would sue the newest Wayne for violating an NDA?

On the plus side, I suspect that if they did, the Wayne Enterprises legal department would argue both sides of the case, just for fun. This company is a delight to work for but it is also a logistical nightmare.

Apart from the (apparently classified) project, what's next for MDC?

Honestly, I'm hoping to get some one-on-one time with Gotham's vigilantes, see if we can't bring their aesthetic into the twenty-first century before it ends.

Oh? Are we about to hear a classic Dupain-Cheng takedown of the vigilantes' costumes?

Not a piece-by-piece breakdown. This is an interview, not a Twitter thread. However...

Please go on. Do you have a favorite and a least favorite design?

Ironically, both are Nightwing. His latest costume is a delight. Streamlined design, incorporating his logo into the design so seamlessly it almost doesn't appear to be a logo. Black and cobalt blue go well together, and no Parisian can fault a domino mask without incurring the wrath of the entire city. His first costume, on the other hand, was an affront on the senses. I have heard it referred to as the "Discowing" suit and I can see why - it looks like someone decided to combine a leisure suit with a gymnastics unitard, with a plunging neckline so drastic I wonder that he didn't accidentally flash half of Gotham.

What do you think of the newest?

Signal? His suit looks like it was designed by Palmer Technologies and I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Has anyone seen him and the Atom in the same room before?

What about Gotham's Rogues? Better or worse design than Papillon's Akumas?

That's a loaded question. Since Papillon designed all of the Akumas prior to his defeat, one has to take them all as a single fashion line, whereas the Rogues don't all go to the same designer. They don't, right? There isn't some Gotham Rogue fashionista making all of these garish outfits for them, right? I swear if there is, then I would beg the Bat Clan to focus their efforts on that individual first and foremost, and spare the citizens of Gotham from a psychological assault the likes of which have never been seen outside of Paris.

Any favorite Rogues?

I'm not sure they count, but the Sirens have impeccable fashion sense. Doctor Isley's living dresses are absolutely to die for even when they're not made of lethally poisonous plants, and Doctor Quinzel has the punk aesthetic down to an art form - which, done properly, it is. Catwoman's catsuits are a classic, and the woman knows how to accessorize.

Miss Dupain-Cheng, it has been fantastic speaking to you, and I cannot express how grateful I am that you've taken time out of your undoubtedly busy workday to speak with me.

It is no bother at all, Chloe. It's been wonderful to see you again.

And with that, your Queen Bee took her leave of the up-and-coming fashion superstar, grateful and humble as always for the opportunity to interview the Queen of Second Chances. MDC has been a rising star, and while there are those who would claim that she is doing so riding the coattails of her famous biological father, it could just as easily be said that Wayne Enterprises has hitched their wagon to the star that is MDC to give their nascent fashion line a much-needed boost. Either way, look forward to great things from MDC and Wayne in the future. Any thought that they won't be on the cutting edge of both fashion and technology moving forward is ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous.

Walter Hesford makes a powerful plea to end gun violence in America

"Every time our children (and others) are sacrificed to the gun, as they were in the March 27 shooting at Nashville’s Covenant School, we afterward hear that it was a 'senseless tragedy.' Far from it. Given our gun worship and their wide availability, deaths through gun violence unfortunately make perfect sense."

El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (May 19, 1925 – February 21, 1965) was born Malcolm Little Malcolm X, one of the most influential leaders of the 20th Century, in Omaha, Nebraska to Earl Little, a Baptist preacher, and Louise Norton Little. The family moved to Lansing, Michigan.

He worked odd jobs in Boston and moved to Harlem where he drifted into a life of drug dealing, pimping, gambling, and other forms of “hustling.” He avoided the draft in WWII by declaring his intent to organize African Soldiers soldiers to attack whites which led to his classification as “mentally disqualified for military service.”

He was arrested for burglary in Boston and received a ten-year prison sentence. There he joined the Nation of Islam. He was called to Chicago by NOI leader, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. He changed his surname to “X,” symbolizing, he said, the rejection of “slave names” and his inability to claim his ancestral African name.

Muhammad sent him to Boston to become the Minister of Temple #11. He earned a reassignment to Temple #7 in Harlem. He built up the membership of Temple Seven. He met his wife, Sister Betty X, a nursing student and they had six daughters.

He became a national public figure when CBS aired “The Hate That Hate Produced.” He was frustrated by the NOI’s bureaucratic structure and refusal to participate in the Civil Rights Movement. His speech “Message to the Grass Roots,” was a bold attack on racism and a call for Black unity. He, in response to a reporter’s question about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, used the phrase “chickens coming home to roost” which to Muslims meant that Allah was punishing white America for crimes against Black people. He formed a political group called the Organization of Afro-American Unity.

He traveled to Africa and the Middle East and was received as a visiting head of state in many countries including Egypt, Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, and Ghana. He made his hajj to Mecca and added El-Hajj to his official NOI name Malik El-Shabazz. The tour forced Malcolm to realize that one’s political position as a revolutionary superseded “color.” #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

GETTING BURNED

WF THOUGHTS (1/3/23).

Well, the chickens have come home to roost for the Republican Party. The circus in the House today, instead of the usual pro forma election of a Speaker, proved that the Republicans are not capable of governing. It was a total embarrassment for them, and more humiliation is on tap for tomorrow.

Over the past seven years, ever since Trump came down his escalator in 2015, the Republican Party has become the anti-government party. They have recruited, and welcomed, a group of folks that want to burn the government down. They thought they were being smart, and gaining power, by supporting extremists. Blinded by the quest for power, the leaders of the Republican Party didn’t realize the problems that they were causing for themselves.

Today, twenty extremist Republicans in the House took down the top Republican leader. In normal times, even though he only has a four vote majority, it would have taken less than an hour for Kevin McCarthy to be elected to be the new Speaker of the House. In the era of the extremists, a flock of crazy Republicans took control of the process. They tortured McCarthy for five hours. They stabbed him over and over again. In his quest for the Speakership, McCarthy was forced to endure three rounds of voting. With the twenty extremists voting against him, members of his own party, McCarthy couldn’t get the 218 needed to win. After five hours of torture, McCarthy was forced to suspend the proceedings for the day so he could try to stop the bleeding. The torture will continue tomorrow.

This should be a lesson for all Americans. This is what happens when folks vote for crazy people. Crazy people aren’t interested in building a better America. They just want to demolish everything. Today, even though he is the Republican leader in the House, McCarthy was hit by twenty Republican wrecking balls. The Republican Party is in shambles. No leader will be able to control the wrecking crew. The House will be paralyzed for the next two years.

The circus continues tomorrow. It’s awful. America needs two functioning political parties. The sad thing is that the horror show was entirely predictable. If you hang around with a bunch of arsonists, sooner or later you’re bound to get burned. Kevin McCarthy’s political career is on fire tonight. If he survives, it will be a miracle. I’m actually hoping that he can come up with a way to defeat the extremists. I don’t think it will happen. They’ve become too strong over the last seven years. This is a terrible situation. America should have a first class government. Right now, we have a circus in the House.

[magicalgirlmindcrank]

You’re honestly a fucking idiot who doesn’t give a shit about others. Yes, the innocent Muslim people who were attacked after 9/11 are victims, but so are the innocent people in the buildings and planes that day. Imagine if it was your relative, or someone you really love most. And they said “goodbye, I’ll see you later today :)” and they don’t come back home because they were killed. And no country deserves this type of war or pain. I mean it. ALL COUNTRIES. not just the US, I mean Ukraine, Canada, etc. And you’re an adult, you should honestly know better. You’re super inconsiderate. Honestly you should uninstall Tumblr and go outside and spend time out there, in the real world. And see what people do and maybe, MAYBE you’ll realize the stuff you’re saying is stupid and hurtful.

You're right the US Deserved to destabilize the middle east by funding conservative religious extremists in the area in an effort to bog down their mortal enemy the USSR destroying lives in region and it was super duper mean of those affected by the US using their lives as pawns against a competing global power and then acting as an imperial power themselves during desert storm and other incursions (official and not) in the area to do anything about that and none of those involved in the attack were actually buddies with the Saudi Royals and Bush admin and the US definitely didn't know and cover up their involvement to justify starting a war that they were looking to start with Iraq prior to 9/11 uwu
