During the Eurovision songfestival Joost Klein was seated next to israel for interviews, where he wrapped himself in the Dutch flag. A journalist asked Eden Golan if she felt she was endangering other contestants by being there. Her sidekick said she did not have to answer that question to which Joost suddenly said “Why not”.
I don't comment in the majority of your posts on Israel / Gaza.
I only come across Israel / Gaza posts from you. It's possible you post about other things in magazines (communities) I don't subscribe to. I just looked at a couple of your meme posts. They were also about Israel.
Gitmo is currently full and will only have place once the current torturees have pleaded guilty. That will probably take at least an other month of water boarding.

Those same promotional materials he claimed told him to “jump in” show people walking around ankle deep. It’s clearly ankle deep… or he assumed they used models with Jesus like powers.
But it also is surrounded by things like a diving board…
I saw the pit, and everything about the experience stronngly suggests its deep enough to jump into. I thought it sounded stupid too until i saw the ball pit.
If, and only if, he was the only person there with nobody else in the “pool” then maybe he could think that. But if anyone else was already in the pool walking around ankle deep, then it’s on him.
While I do think racism plays a big role, articles like these that paint a large American section with broad brush like this play a dangerous game.
At this point if you’re still supporting Trump, there is little that can be done for you with regards to changing your mind and youll be hard pressed to find sympathy.
But there is something to be said about the rural / urban divide. Small town America has been left behind - both economically and culturally and somehow we have to reach them. I don’t know if it’s a failure of messaging on the Dems or what exactly. I also think it’s a much broader issue than just ‘racism’.

The “politics” are that Medicaid is a dirty word in conservative States, because it’s seen as a program for black Americans. The fact that most benefits go to poor white people isn’t known and wouldn’t be respected anyway.
The stabber is a loser and his actions should be denounced by the Muslim community. That guy who got stabbed isn’t responsible for the actions of politicians in a different country.
Every culture has bad actors and good actors. People should remember what it’s like to be held responsible or accountable for the actions of someone else. All cultures have done this to each other at some point.
Blaming random civilians for the big things which someone thinks are wrong in the world is an inherently wrong and dangerous thing to do. The police should also investigate if this stabber might not have other motives, like did someone incite this person to start a conflict in this community?
his actions should be denounced by the Muslim community.
It is not the job of any minority community to denounce members of that community when they do heinous things. If a black man stabs a white man because he hates white people, no one would be calling on the black community specifically to denounce him (except maybe Republicans).
He committed murder. There’s no need to make some public denouncement. He’s on video attempting to commit the murder. He’s been arrested for attempted murder. He’s clearly a guy who planned to commit a murder. He can say it was for Palestine, but that doesn’t make Palestinians responsible and it certainly wouldn’t make, for example, a Muslim from Indonesia responsible.
Sorry I meant the local Muslim community, not anyone at large. Muslims are not a monolith.
But that’s my point though, I don’t think it’s a good idea for a random Muslim to blame a random Jewish person for what politicians are doing. If anything, our shared and collective helplessness against larger and out of control forces should unite us.
The stabber is a loser and his actions should be denounced by the Muslim community. That guy who got stabbed isn’t responsible for the actions of politicians in a different country.
Aren’t these 2 sentences mutually contradictory? If your argument is that people aren’t responsible for the actions of others of the same ethnicity, then logically the Muslim community has no obligation to say anything as they’re not responsible.
I should have clarified, I didn’t mean Muslims at large. The ordinary Muslim shouldn’t be expected to respond to such events. People who call themselves religious community leaders, however, can make such general statements, as they have done so in the past. In common parlance, it’s assumed that that’s what meant by “Muslim community”, ie someone who is a leader of a mosque or community group, but I agree I assumed too much about the common understanding of such a term
I don’t mean to disparage the real risk of antisemitism, but this might be making a mountain out of a molehill, and “thetimesofisrael” isn’t my favourite source in these times.
My point is rather that stabbings are pretty common in NYC. This guy have probably did have antisemitic motivations, I believe that, but in a city so large and so prone to violence, that’s sort of bound to happen at some point. It doesn’t justify it, but I think one shouldn’t be drawing conclusions of “growing antisemitism” because of one crazy in New York.

But you’re going to do it anyway? Interesting strategy.

This is a really stupid take. The violence did happen, and the motive appears to be ethnic hatred. Curious that you want the media to stay silent about it.

So you’re just going to pretend that this is the first ever antisemitic incident that has ever occurred in NYC or elsewhere in recent history? The article doesn’t even cite rising antisemitism in NYC, but rather globally, which is objectively true. Antisemitic hate crimes (like this one) are on the rise worldwide.
Ngl, you sound like you have a pretty specific agenda with this response…
I am? When? You can read my future? What are the winning lottery numbers for this week’s draw?

The word “appears” doing a lot of heavy lifting there. When researching sources, the stories have lines such as “allegedly”, kind of a lot in them. And still, I’m not questioning the veracity of it, am I?
Have you heard of “media criticism”? Or if you practice media criticism at all, it makes you an antisemite?
So you’re just going to pretend that this is the first ever antisemitic incident that has ever occurred in NYC or elsewhere in recent history?
Where on Earth did you pull this shit from?
The point is exactly that in a city the size of New York — unfortunate and unwanted as it is — hate crimes of all types, including antisemitism, are something that has always, (but hopefully will not always) happen.
With how explosive the rhetoric and protesting around this topic is, I fail to the importance of this story in the bigger picture.
I’m not gonna start whatabouting by linkingseveralinstances of some other group getting attacked, because this isn’t a competition on who is getting hatecrimed the most.
The point I am making is that unfortunate as this is, it’s implying something that it doesn’t back up.
