I think its more like... those who study religion can understand the religion itself doesn’t hate them, but a lot of humans (who generally are shitty anyhow) do.

*note, I’m not a Christian, but I’m a liberal religious person (Jewish, thanks fro asking)... so my feelings on religion, and such, are sometimes together…

EHS may not have been the most PC place, but I have to say, as a white/Jewish woman - I learned so much from so many people. I love to say that “No two people I grew up with spoke the same language at home,” which is a slight exaggeration but so many people were from so many different places, practiced different…

I was coming to comment on that quote... because I AM FROM ELIZABETH TOO! And that sounds exactly like the kind of things I heard in the halls of EHS... :) So excited to hear your a hometown girl... now I’m off to read everything you wrote and wonder if we had any of the same insane teachers for writing/public…

lol phews. ... for a second, I was like, OMG does someone not know how WWII started to involve the US? Have they not seen the Josh Hartnett while still super steamy movie? Can we watch it together as an educational experience in war time romance? I mean... and also all the terrible stuff, like It’sAllYourFoucault’s…

Sarcasm? Pearl Harbor sarcasm?

I haven’t felt this alive since I left the state department may be the line of the series for me.

we’re all going to die, huh?

also, why the fuck should I have to leave my job to avoid being harassed? Shouldn’t I be allowed to work, harassment free, say... 100% of the time? Is that too much to ask?

In highschool (2002-ish?) he was a steriod addicted boyfriend, who blow up into a totally abusive asshole. In one horrible scene, he bought his gf a cat...only to get so mad he kills it by hurling it at the wall. I have NEVER been able to like him after that.

they’ve changed the formula now! They acknowledge the first house is the “dream house” which matches everything they’ve said they want... but cannot afford. They will now outright discuss that, and how they can make a renovation seem like the dream home. No more pretending!

Thank you <3 Its not ok to hate anyone, and I’m just so frustrated that intersectionality doesn’t include me. That I have to prove my worth.

I’ve been on both sides of the green line.

So... basically you don’t give a fuck about anyone else’s narrative, just the one you want to shove at me. You will call all land illegally siezed, despite years of buying land from the Caliphate during the Ottoman years long before there was a nationalized Palestinian identity. You have your talking points... and you…

And the tactic of alarms to warn you to go to a safe place versus a group who uses human shields and a PR focus?

What do you have to say for the Gazans who shoot rockets indiscriminately at Israeli farms, homes, and towns?

So sad. So true. And the world will be silent again, believing that we’re somehow more powerful than we are, a small but loud group...

I know. I used to work for a moderate group in Campus Relations. I used to travel to Israel annually... and the West Bank. I’ve met people from EVERY background, I met Arab Israelis who were in the same university classes as me, and I met a feminist activist behind the green line. I’ve met so many amazing people on…

Rothkopf is a fucking Jew, and she made the first post. People are descending like wolves on this shit. I’m sorry... but this is straight up propaganda. Defneding Odeah?! That’s where they decided to take this?! TO DEFEND SOMEONE LIKE THAT?!

Israel left Gaza a pile of Rubble? You mean in 2005 when they forced their people out and left full farms and green houses which Hamas destroyed? Or when they left schools, hospitals with supplies, and more. Hamas went in and blew it all up. DESTROYED FOOD FOR FUCKS SAKE! Really?!

Honestly, probably not... I just have been welling up with tears at my desk reading all this and I don’t know that I strategically hit “reply” before emotionally vomitting. Thanks for listening, though.
