Definitely Won The Australian Open While Pregnant

This seems to be a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation.

meanwhile my dog would take off like a rocket and likely be somewhere between 2nd base and left center before she realized that I was still holding the ball.

You do realize that the original flood of Jews to Israel/Palestine were refugees from the Holocaust, who had no home, who weren’t wanted in the US, or the UK, or anywhere? Sure, it was unfair to the Palestinian Arabs. It continues to be unfair to the Palestinian Arabs. It’s deeply unfortunate that they were not…

We need to stop with heaping this ridiculous criticism of Emily Shire. In the same piece you criticize, she mentions her desire for a Two State Solution. If you wanna say that some (hell, maybe many) Zionists are too extreme and uncompromising, sure. But Emily Shire is not one of them. Her piece is a direct reaction…

Professor Erakat has no first-hand knowledge of whether Odeh is guilty of the bombing that killed two young Israelis or not. It’s no clear that she’d care either way... because resistance. Her defense of Odeh amounts to, if the Israeli criminal justice system says one thing, and a Palestinian “activist” another, she…

Why? Unless you want that independent free state of Palestine to exist on the same territory as Israel (within the 1967 borders), why does Zionism require that state not to exist? “Zionism” does not equal the policies of the Israeli government. Zionism, at its root, is simply the idea that Jews have the same right…

You do know that the Muslim authorities on the Temple Mount have engaged in massive destruction of Jewish artifacts found during construction repairs over the last 50 years, disposing of all of it in a huge garbage dump? And you know about the widespread destruction of Jewish monuments and tombstones in Jordan prior…

Do you also support the transformation of all Muslim countries in North Africa and the Middle East into democratic secular states with the right of return for all the Jews expelled from those countries? Are you also not free until that happens? How about the right of return of the descendants of the 8+ million…

Odeh confessed after less than a day in prison. On top of every other piece of evidence corroborating her involvement (her sister saying she was involved, the explosives found at her house), like really? A debatable confession? Are people that dumb to not see that the debate was created to win this specific case?

Let’s be clear about this. Rasmea Odeh is a terrorist, who bombed a supermarket, murdered two people, and hoped to murder more.

That’s not me saying that. It’s Aysha Odeh, her accomplice, in a pro-Palestinian documentary, Women in Struggle. You can watch the key clip here

This is spot on.

Another perspective, from the victim’s niece:

In the example of exiled political prisoner Assata Shakur

Jewish people are associated as being “white or white passing”, so therefore, they must suffer less discrimination, is the rationale. I actually witnessed someone here a few weeks ago not understand (believe) that Jewish people are discriminated against because they are “white”, displaying an absurd lack of…

Antizionists- the opposition to the modern State of Israel. For a lot of them, this means the dissolution of the country.

It’s pathetic that the left is now trying to make “Jewish privilege” a thing. Make no mistake, these people are not on your side.

THIS. Thank you.

As a gay jew, I’m not interested in supporting Palestinians one bit. Sorry, but I’m not on you’re side if you’re not on mine. I’m not that self-sacrificing and I don’t need to be. Maybe I’d be more interested in decolonizing Palestine if the leaders of Palestine weren’t interested in increasing all…

Is it? I want Palestine to exist as its own country, equal in all ways it possibly can be. I understand that Israel is much more powerful at the moment, but that’s a function of Israel’s bloody history more than anything else.
