@bccccccc being pro palestine doesn’t automatically equal being antisemitic, it just happens to be that the majority of the current pro palestinian movement is also deeply rooted in antisemitism. you can advocate for palestinian people without calling for the murder of jews and/or… Read More

@meg that’s not correct. israeli arabs, including palestinians, have full rights as citizens the same as jews, christians, and every other group of people who live in israel. gaza has been independently governed since 2005, and gazans are not israeli citizens and therefore do not… Read More

I knew a guy who drove to 711 to get a snack, forgot he drove and walked home, then “lost” his car for three days because it was still parked at 711. He had fully accepted that it was just gone when he happened to pass by the 711 and saw his car just chilling there, unharmed and not… Read More

@lizzie I know who Robert Kraft is. many, many American Jews have strong ties to Israel. that tends to happen when you’re made to feel unsafe in your own country. that also doesn’t change the fact that claiming Israel funded the ad is incorrect and damaging. an American businessman… Read More

the level of antisemitism and ignorance in some of these comments is awful but sadly not surprising these days. none of these people faced consequences for simply supporting Palestinians. it was because they did so by spreading disinformation, engaging in antisemitic tropes, and/or… Read More

I had #16 happen to me, except it was my supervisor asking, who knew exactly how much money I was making. they hounded me for weeks even after I told them several times I did not want to contribute (and explained my reasoning—they were asking for almost the same amount that I made… Read More

some of my favorites from real children I have encountered: Winter Blaze, Fitzgerald Pettijohn, Aqua Waters, and Blue Jay Blessing (that was the first name. the whole thing, like mary kate. she also had a middle and last name). I also knew siblings named Raiden, Caiden, and Zaiden;… Read More
