Cheap shot. Mayim wasn’t victim blaming. She was right when she made the point that she was overlooked because she wasn’t typically beautiful. In Hollywood, beautiful woman are trophies. I know. I worked there.

Oops, I caught a Nazi!

I know there was a second march for racial justice held in NYC on Sunday that a lot of Jews in that area attended- I saw photos from a Hasidic friend who went, and there seemed to be a pretty diverse mix of folks, including a lot of white people.

And here I thought Jezebel was an echo chamber...

No, that is not at all what I said, I was just offering the actual reason that myself and many of my friends weren’t there. We tried to bring this up months ago and were met with the same dismissive attitude that you are demonstrating now....I was merely pointing out that many of the liberals, Jews for Justice…

Many of us wanted to be there in solidarity with our black sisters, but they scheduled the march for Yom Kippur, which is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. And there are an overwhelming number of liberal Jews in the DC area who weren’t able to participate because of the timing. It’s akin to holding the Women’s…

I don’t give two shits about what “people” say. White Brits and Americans have dominated the entire world, and it ain’t from their witty repartee.

Do you have other advocacy recommendations for organizations that do not support BDS?

Well here’s hoping nothing unexpected ever happens in your life. That you never have kids with a partner who unexpectedly disappears or dies, leaving you the sole caretaker. Here’s hoping you never have a dependent that needs help. Here’s hoping you never get caught in a system where sub 20k a year for someone to…

My cousin’s first teaching job was at a Catholic school. She made $18,000 a year (in 2007). When she got the job at the public school and went from $18K to $56K/year, she was so happy. She had a second job at a pizzeria when she taught at the Catholic school, so she was able to quit when she got the better salary.

I don’t remember anyone asking for your advice. She needs a living wage not judgment. You are the problem, not her. Her skills are beyond anything you could ever teach her.

What the fuck are you talking about?

I live in a country where the person elected president has discussed sexually assaulting women and many of the people elected to represent their districts have committed acts of violence against women, people of color and minorities without consequence. I am not particularly shocked by a right wing nut job calling for…

If any group is likely to do that in the future, I guarantee you it’s liberals afraid that acknowledging this will lead to islamophobia. you can already see it in the way liberal leaning websites decide what and what not to report.

You started this by talking about a politician’s unhinged Facebook post (PLOT TWIST: I actually know what Hanegbi did that you were referring to!) as some sort of official policy/movement? When you could have, I don’t know, invoked this insane motion in the Knesset to enshrine Israel as a Jewish State, which more…

To be clear, I’m not arguing one causation = one outcome = one narrative. I’m speaking only to the Arab Spring and its failure and the role that Western governments did(n’t) play in that. I’m very clear on how complicated the politics of this region are, with or without us.

Agreed, that’s why I linked to it. It’s been in the news so I thought it relevant.

According to this site Israel never makes any concessions to continuing the peace process and only crack down on Muslims/Palestinians/The BDS movement/Protesters/Whoever, so that’s not actually important news because it involves Israel doing something that can’t be construed as terrible.

Because understanding the details of how destabilizing a region might lead women being sex-trafficked and how skewed coverage of events in that region might further fuck up the lives of such women is....morally reprehensible? I think a lot of good people are perfectly capable of feeling the wrenching horror of…

No, I was more observing that these people need significant help and that even though we went to war with ISIS to supposedly save them from this genocide at their hands that when the bombing is done the US and UK won’t likely lift a finger to help them, as shown in recent interventions to supposedly stop cruelty at…
