How do you mean it’s a “scam?” It’s illegal to claim organic without actually being organic. It is true that just being organic doesn’t necessarily mean much in terms of sustainability, since lots of organic food these days is not locally-produced and grown in huge industrial-scale monocultures with exploitative labor

I love Trader Joe’s. I live in NYC and it’s such a treat to shop in a place with reasonable prices while still having lots of high-end feeling things. Also, everyone who works at TJ’s is ridiculously cheerful, even in stores so busy they regularly have to employ bouncers. I would love to know the TJ secret to

I want to be like you. And I am so glad to hear that you weren’t always like this, that you came to it from a bad place, because that’s where I am/was too. Hope I can learn to channel it so well!

thank you

Considering a lot of the “arguments” used to criticize Israel (that they’re committing a genocide for instancee, look no further than this thread), I think that most of the time, these people are right. A lot of people criticizing Israel are antisemitic.
Otherwise, how could one explain why this conflict that has

No, the official BDS movement has three goals. An ending to the occupation of all Palestinian lands (this could mean either getting out of the West Bank, or just kicking all Jews out of Israel, and they frequently flip flop); full equality for Palestinian citizens, which exists at least legally, and the most

Has anyone tried a strongly worded letter? Oh they have. I'm out of ideas.

I love all of the people starring that idiotic comment, as if all Jews, worldwide, have some kind of nebulous power to “petition the Israeli government.” I’ll just run right out and contact my Member of Knesset- who is it, exactly, who represents American Jews who don’t live in Israel, don’t hold Israeli citizenship,

BDS also has many people who oppose its boycott of academic institutions while remaining deeply supportive of Palestinian statehood and human rights. In addition to the deeply chilling suppression of freedom of speech that it promotes, it also silences the group in Israel who are likely the strongest allies for its

Probably not, since I’m not Israeli and don’t live there, though the Israelis I do know (all of whom live outside of Israel) find most of their government’s conduct as deplorable as I do. Are you aware that there are vast ideological and cultural differences between not just diaspora Jews and Jews living in Israel,

Do tell how, exactly, I would go about petitioning the government of a country of which I am not a citizen, where I do not live, where I have never traveled, and where I am not eligible to vote.

The only thing I take issue with with the concept of an anti-Israel opinion being okay. It’s like taking an anti-USA opinion. You don’t get to disagree with the EXISTENCE of a country. It’s policies, or the shitty things they have happening there in - definitely! But, I don’t want to hear non of this Israel shouldn’t

In Canada we’ve only recently stopped sterilizing Aboriginal women. (hopefully it has ACTUALLY come to a full stop, but I have no faith in our government when it comes to the topic of our treatment of Aboriginal people)

I think the issue is that she couldn’t play in Ramallah because you need a visa from Israel to get into the West Bank, and it’s very difficult to get one while openly stating that you intend to go into the West Bank, so she chose to play neither. The amount of artists I’ve seen try to play in the West Bank and having

Oh man. That really ought to disappoint Israeli music fans 18 years ago.

They JUST passed a law to ban the forced sterilization of female prisoners in California. God knows how many states are still doing it. http://www.nbcnews.com/health/womens-… Fucking disgusting across the board.

Razzle, the Mizrahi/Ahkenazi thing stems from being different cultures firstly but also because when the State was formed it was by highly educated, in many cases, Ashkenazi Jews from the USSR and surrounding Eastern Europe. The Mizrahim came from Arab countries and while they were often richer, many were jewelers and

Carry on not knowing what the hell you’re talking about! It’s really easy and cool to just read some headlines and make assumptions right?! Israeli society has actually been quite ok to the “asylum seekers” and they get shelter and often work here which is why most of them came, to make some money. Sorry but how

Do you ACTUALLY give a shit about Ethiopian Israelis (who consider it their home and want to see it countinue to be) or are you just here to grandstand?

Okay but liiiike, fuck the U.S. government and the way it treats black and Latino/a people and Latino/a immigrants. No one tells foreign performers not to perform here.
