Are you suggesting there might be inconsistencies with software encouraging people to create topics willy nilly in one place and yelling at them to not start bad topics in another?
I think it’s just revealing how my expectations have changed after too many years of seeing NVG shit-posting.
I read this and had a dream about having to fight off a monitor lizard last night.
When will we have gifs on warning signs ?
Put the gif of the buffalo sending the little girl into outer-space on a sign. Or a bear mauling a dummy. Instant respect.
@all we had 23 voters for top poll (pretty good) for the general direction of the twitter banner, but not as many for individual options, come vote on some before the final vote:

With this whole Israel not letting the congresswomen in thing, I was thinking about the issue little. Can anyone square these things for me. I guess I’m not sure if all of the following are correct, so if that’s the case let me know.
- Jewish people in the US (in general) favor Democrats and dislike Trump
- Jewish people in the US are pro Israel
- Israelis are pro-Trump
-
Strongly true. More than almost any group.

It depends on how you ask the question. Jews support Israel, but I think are more likely than non-Jews in America to say they are sympathetic to Palestinians in the conflict over the occupied territory.
-
That’s generally true. He polls well over 50% in Israel.
Israel is fucked up for a lot of reasons. Being Jewish and “supporting” Israel doesn’t mean you think Israel is always right or that Israel is the number one issue in the world.
I guess #3 is the surprising one to me. I mean with the kids in cages, both sidesing, Antifa is a terrorist group, and all of the other shit that Trump does, Israelis of all people should understand how evil someone like Trump is.
Maybe the details of all his Trumpiness just aren’t as well covered there, so they get the pro-Israel message loud and clear, but miss the other stuff.

Stephen Miller, too big an asshole for Betsy DeVos.

Israel is like where the US is heading. Israeli Jews should understand how awful Trump is. They would have understood it 30 years ago. Jewish Americans generally do understand how awful Trump is.
After years of domination of the Right in Israel (Rabin was assassinated in 1995) and the construction of a wall that separates Israelis from Palestinians in the WB (2000-2006), the population has grown steadily more, well, deplorable.

I’ve met a good number of brown (Jewish) Israelis and white Palestinians, so I kind of assumed that whatever discrimination they’ve got over there is based very little on skin color. Is that not the case?
At a lower level all the Middle Eastern Jews, Mizrahi (like Yemeni) Jews, feel some discrimination.
I think every single PM has been of entirely Euro ancestry and Netanyahu (his first time around) was like the first one not born somewhere like Russia or Poland.
edit: Yigal Peikowitz was born in Palestine. His parents immigrated from Europe a few years before he was born. He changed his name to Yigal Allon.
Btw, that name change thing — a lot of Jews in Europe before the 19th century didn’t have last names and the antisemitic authorities gave them derogatory names. I don’t know what “Peikowitz” means, but “witz” in German means “joke”.
