Eric Clapton: "And I thought, what is this, the Spanish Inquisition? And it is! It’s #AIPAC, it’s the lobby. #Israel is running the show. Israel is running the world.”

Bring on the wingnuts!

"It’s #Jewish #American Heritage Month, and what better way to celebrate our heritage than #children’s #books about #food? Because everyone, no matter what, can agree that Jewish food is the best.

These books feature diverse and surprising tales about Jewish food, from Ashkenazi classics to Asian and Mexican mash-ups."

"Prof Kahn suggested the writing might have been left by someone with a knowledge of Hebrew who had drunk a bit too much at the pub, or that it had once been a prop in a play at the nearby church.

When he was told about her findings, Mr Adams said: "I'm kind of relieved it wasn't a gravestone, because that would have been a bit spooky to find in your patio.

"The drunken monk I'd very happily go with that and that's a lovely story, especially in a pub." :awesome:

Why am I just learning about krembo now? Where's this been hiding all my life?

Non-Jews telling Jews they don't listen to Jews is the new surrealism.

Big Lag B'Omer shul party in full swing... in walks young guy in a hawaiian shirt covered in a thousand little watermelon slices.

Nobody blinks, notices, or cares. People welcome him like they welcomed everyone else.

Rabbi gives typical 'respect each other even when you disagree or don't even like each other' speech.

Kid looks seriously disappointed for the rest of the shindig.

End of story.

There is no such thing as the Judeo-Christian tradition. It is a figment of the supersessionist imagination. It is a term meant to co-opt Jews and Jewish history into a #Christian narrative to give legitimacy to that narrative. It is a term that erases #Jews and #Judaism. Everyone should stop using that term.

If your response to my telling you "Hey this guy is an antisemite." and your response is to talk about Netanyahu:

You:

a) Don't believe me
b) Aren't willing to trust me
c) Are looking for reasons not to distrust Jews talking about antisemitism

...this just happened to me this morning.

I’m just gonna say it — this “Genocide Joe” thing is the dumbest fucking liberal shit I have seen in years.

Joe Biden can do more to try to rein in Israel, but Biden doesn’t run Israel. He isn’t CIC for IDF. He isn’t deciding what hospital to bomb. He isn’t deciding what border crossings to close.

You know who is pushing the Genocide Joe narrative? The fucking Russians and the Israelis. Why is that? Well, it’s an election year, and Trump is a hard right, pro-Israel puppet.

Edit: Since this article the staff have walked out in protest of the Jewish portion of the exhibit and the Wing Luke Museum remains closed while the parties meet and discuss the situation.

"A new exhibit opening May 22 at the #WingLukeMuseum of the Asian Pacific American Experience explores how three Seattle communities – Black, Asian-American, and Jewish – have faced prejudice, both in the past and in the face of rising hate crimes today.

Called “Confronting Hate Together,” the exhibit was created as a partnership between the museum, the Washington State #Jewish Historical Society, and the Black Heritage Society of Washington State."
