I watched this totally convinced that the twist would be that Sam Claflin’s character was gay. The repeated references to him being single and unable to enlist for spurious reasons, his bitchy queen demeanor, the fact that for most of the movie he was more like a shitty best friend to Gemma Arterton than a love…

How dare this reporter make some confused “activists” look as intolerant and anti-speech as they actually appear to be using facts. Free speech and activism is for them, not for people they disagree with.

It blows my mind that things like BDS and “Is Feminism compatible with Zionism?” debates exist while there are no, to my knowledge, feminist and/or lgbtq led movements that seek to put pressure on the U.S to end their diplomatic ties with Saudi Arabia.

My Jewish ass ain’t schlepping over there, that’s for sure.

While she’s in prison for her crime, she can rest assured that if one of her jailors gets her pregnant, she’ll get 10 weeks paid maternity leave under Saudi law!

This is slightly off topic but it seemed the best place to post in case Jezebel doesn’t report on it. The journalist who reported that the Chicago Dyke March banned the Jewish flag from its gay pride march has been removed from her job at the Windy City Times. I’d be curious to know why this happened.

Bra shopping.

Yes and no. On the one hand, I like the movie and liked learning about the writers’ experiences. On the other hand I don’t agree that we can’t or shouldn’t critique lived experience.

It would be too soon FOR YOU. Grief affects each of us differently, and there is no timetable that we all must follow.

Israel has about 10 million people. They’d be nuts not to have mandatory military service.

Gal Godot was a fitness instructor who never saw combat. Her pro IDF statements have all been against Hamas, not Palestine.

A Zionist believes that the State of Israel has a right to exist. Details differ. For that matter, there are many Jews who are vocally anti-Zionist, for various reasons including the religious and the sociopolitical.

Good ol Qatar, always there to prove that even the richest countries can be completely morally bankrupt.

Still waiting for that Black Widow movie, Marvel.

Why not both? One does not always preclude the other. All I have to do is tell people that my family is Israeli, and instead of asking me what I believe, they refuse to look me in the eye and switch to monosyllabic conversation. I’ve seen anti-semetic rhetoric online that painted the holocaust as a sadistic hoax to…

A Zionist, speaking broadly, is simply someone who believes that Jewish people had the same right as any other people to ethnic self-determination — given that Jews comprise not only a religion, but also several different closely-related ethnic groups — in their common ancestral homeland (since they have no other). …

A Zionist is someone who believes in Jewish autonomy. If you have a problem with Zionists, then you have a problem with Jewish autonomy. Question should be, why are against Zionism, i.e. Jewish autonomy?

Well-meaning liberals want to think it’s about oppression of Palestinians, but that’s the least of it. Hamas has it in its charter that they want Israel to be dismantled as a state. Most Arab countries do not recognize it as a legitimate state at all.

Anti hamas is not anti Palestine. That’s like saying criticizing Trump means you hate America

“Tons”? How many is that? And I’d still like to see where she came out in favor of murdering Palestinian civilians.
