Imagine what would happens if Muslims killed worshippers at St Peter’s Basilica.
Got a bunch of students going to Israel in November. Was considering going as a chaperone with a few other teachers. Would suck if this happened while they (or we) were there.
The right wing love their marches - I wonder of this lot carry torches or favour a particular colour?

This is a political orchestrated escalation. Bibi is about to go down and both him and Hamas aren’t having it.

The use of Zionism in these type of tweets is so shallow it’s really meaningless.
In my experience its mostly used as a crude shorthand for “bad Jewishness”.
Which makes it meaningless. I get that most people don’t have the time or energy to learn about the ME (and why should they), but that kind of discourse is completely empty

I’m pretty sure Jared Kushner solved the middle east, not sure why we still need to talk about it. Maybe Hunter Biden screwed it up again.

Sorry if posting those tweets offended or are offensive, that was not my intentions.
I’m willing to learn, it’s also hard to trust sources and generally only listen or read on here & back before on 2/2 and specifically yourself and others @microbet has mentioned.
Again I did not mean anything wrt those tweets other than trying to post some info.
Maybe it’s a little of assholes having taken over the term? I lived in a Jewish house in the late 80s that was sponsored iirc by Hillel and most of the people there were part of Young Judea, so all pretty explicitly “Zionist” at the time. It was possible in that circle to be Zionist and not right-wing in this context. I don’t know how much of that was nievete and how much was times being different, but I doubt it’s the case anymore. It could have been an illusion, like generally thinking you could be patriotic without being jingoistic.
eta: Another thing to note about the dancing right-wing boys that you see there related to us wondering about how many police and military are in our torch marches…~all of them are in the military or will be soon.

I’m no Jared Kushner, but murdering worshippers at one of the most holy sites of Islam during Ramandan seems notgreatbob.gif

I’m pretty sure she’s not, nor is she trying to.
@microbet, it’s in the interest of both sides (right wing and “pro-palestine” [clearly a terrible broad term to use]), but it doesn’t make it true.
This whole endless shit show really brings into focus how terrible humanity is.
