I was this years old when I found out what exactly God's #PromisedLand Land really is.
I was looking for a biblical reference to the promise and I came across the attached reference.
In the Bible, God promised most of the Middle East to Abram *and his descendants*
among whom you'll see Ishmael, Abram's first son.
If the #Jews are entitled to live in the Promised Land through as descendants of Isaac/Israel ... then the #Palestinians are entitled too, as descendants of Ishmael.
WIBF!!
For the 3 of you in LA that follow me, Der Nister is having a Zingeray later this month. Go if you can!

And Israeli killings of #Palestinians are in part surely an expression of #Israel’s collective war trauma: the perpetrators believe their violence can prevent another #Holocaust of #Jews.
@Leah Yes, see: #Israel, which of course has an entire class of people suckling at the teat of the state, contributing nothing in return, all the while condemning the country that feeds, clothes, and houses them.
In this country: here’s a thought experiment. Imagine tomorrow Red Don tweets something like “After all I’ve done for the #Jews, all they do is support #Democrats while lawyers—and we know who (((they))) are—fight me in the #courts. If it weren’t for the Jews, America would already be great again!” (With the usual misspellings, grammatical errors, and random capitalization, of course).
What do you think would happen next? I find this incredibly easy to imagine, and not at all unlikely to come to pass.

@Leah True—and where things have been going for many years. Look at the NY yeshivot. These people don’t find it necessary at all to provide a secular education: science, English, civics. Their kids will grow up to vote — if at all — however their rebbe tells them.
#Haredi #Jews, #Christofascists, and extremists of all varieties regard #democracy with suspicion. Why read Heart of Darkness or Native Son when you have the Bible? Why learn how bills become laws, when you have the One True Law? Why be part of our pluralistic, diverse, cross-pollinating society, when those outside your communities are enemies of God?
I’m just warming up here. . . 🤓
Mob of Orthodox Jewish men chases woman in Brooklyn. They thought she was Arab.
The second image shows a Jewish woman chased by Ukrainians during the Lviv pogrom, in 1941. Are we there yet?

"#Protesters cursed at the #police, who had shown up in full force and outnumbered the group of demonstrators. “Y’all on the wrong people tonight,” said the #protest’s leader, named Relly Rebel. Another man yelled, “They’re owned by the #Zionist #Jews!” 😬
More #Jews should speak out against the atrocities taking place in #Palestine right now. The zionists will only sow division and spread misinformation, but there was peace before 1947 and there should be peace again in the future. https://www.972mag.com/before-zionism-the-shared-life-of-jews-and-palestinians/
Over the past decade, attacks on Jews have jumped almost 900%, a new report finds. A rise in antisemitism has often been seen as a bellwether for threats to the rights and liberties of all. #antisemitism #isreal #jews

Come for the stormtrooper, stay for the interview with badass #jews who take no shit from #zionist #scumbags.
Noting that a new poll from the Mellman group shows 72% of American Jews disapprove of Trump’s job performance, Jason Sattler asks,
"How would this great Rabbi [Abraham Joshua Heschel] respond to Gaza or the farce of a regime that came into power thanks to the greatest popularizer of Nazism since Hitler feigning concern for Jews, as they abandon the most vulnerable to death and disease."

"Yael and Schwab dig into one of the most fascinating artifacts of #Jewish antiquity: the #Babylonian incantation bowls. These 5th–6th century earthenware bowls, found primarily in modern-day #Iraq, were used by #Jews—and their neighbors—as #magical #amulets to ward off #demons, secure love, boost fertility, and protect homes. The conversation explores how these artifacts reflect the everyday concerns of Jews in late antiquity, how they blur the line between #halacha and #magic, and what they reveal about cultural exchange across ancient religions. Whether you’re into Jewish magic, #rabbinic #history, or just want to know how to trap a #demon in your cereal bowl, this episode has you covered."

"a Barnard #history professor, said it reminded her of her research into 1930s Italy, when lists of #Jews were put together by the local government. “We’ve seen this movie before, and it ends with yellow stars,” she said.
It also troubled her that the #government appeared to be “fishing” for reports of #antisemitism.
“Evidently, they don’t have sufficient people to file #lawsuits, so they have to go shake the trees to find people?”"

"As a #Jew, she said she found it “a bit terrifying” that the federal #government “wants to know who the #Jews are through some text message and Microsoft Office form.”
...They then expressed dismay that Barnard did not tell them that the university was sharing their personal cellphone numbers with the government.
“Clearly, it made everyone scared”"
