It might seem that this history is a minefield worth avoiding, but thoughtful & engaged teachers have been teaching such difficult topics in a civil & empathetic way for decades"

Ussama Makdisi & @UssamaMakdisi The @nytimes ran a piece about @SenSchumer's very personal speech in which the Senator appears to be both profoundly aware of aspects of U.S and European history, especially as they relate to the pernicious history of Western antisemitism, and yet also profoundly in denial about the history of colonial Zionism in Palestine from the Balfour Declaration of 1917 onwards that culminated in the Nakba of 1948. Yet again the actuality of Palestinian history and lived experience of decades under occupation and apartheid are made to be fundamentally irrelevant to making sense of current events. Leaving aside the Senator's own perspective and feelings to which he is perfectly entitled, what is disturbing is how @nytimes just casually puts this in its report "Mr. Schumer’s warning came as antisemitic hate crimes have skyrocketed and pro-Palestinian protests, some featuring antisemitic signs and slogans, have swelled across the country as the civilian death toll in Gaza has soared." So note how the association works: just keep linking pro-Palestinian solidarity work with antisemitism...casually, repeatedly, and then fixate on the "crisis" on campuses across the country but not the one being experienced by students of all faiths who are being doxxed, abused, and vilified because they dare stand for justice, equality, and freedom in Palestine. 2:27 PM - Nov 30, 2023 - 17.6K Views

@CitizenWald @AHAHistorians @histodons I read this last night and thought you were endorsing it… 😳

Shockingly narrow perspective!

Looking for more Jewish 18Forty and And Here's Modi are the ones I'm finding the most comfort in just now.
Thanks for suggestions.

@emmaaum I’ll have to listen to those. I’m not listening to any comforting ones… Unorthodox and the Times of Israel one!

sheepchase,
@sheepchase@chai.kibbutz.gay avatar

@emmaaum Ah yes I forgot I also listen to Two Jews on the News!! I think they give a good perspective of inside and outside of Israel.

Here’s Modi sounds perfect. I’ll subscribe now!

Bevakasha!

@emmaaum @glitchontwitch Philip… totally toxic. 🤢

@emmaaum @glitchontwitch I read that in the comments and now I’m following on instagram :D

sheepchase,
@sheepchase@chai.kibbutz.gay avatar

@emmaaum @glitchontwitch Thank you both!!!

This was so cute (Mar also has an amazing RBF lol).

@sheepchase@chai.kibbutz.gay avatar

@emmaaum Yeah I guess they don’t want a bunch of influencer videos on there. It’s a shame though as there are actual short films on Youtube!

sheepchase,
@sheepchase@chai.kibbutz.gay avatar

@emmaaum Following him on instagram now!

sheepchase,
@sheepchase@chai.kibbutz.gay avatar

@emmaaum Oh your review is great!

I can’t find it on Letterboxd … but there must be a way for me to add a film that’s not there??????? I’ll see if I can (then I can also start a list).

sheepchase,
@sheepchase@chai.kibbutz.gay avatar

@emmaaum Yeah, I hope some studios pick up films like that. With a bigger budget the sound could be better etc. and maybe get an even bigger audience.

sheepchase,
@sheepchase@chai.kibbutz.gay avatar

@emmaaum Thank you! It was all very unexpected - I’m not at all a confident traveller so definitely wouldn’t have gone to these places if work hadn’t forced me to. Overall I think the stress was worth it just to have experienced being different countries.

sheepchase,
@sheepchase@chai.kibbutz.gay avatar

@emmaaum Booooooo. So to add content you have to do it through the The Movie Database site. So I made an account there, but the rules state a Youtube film can’t be added :(

sheepchase,
@sheepchase@chai.kibbutz.gay avatar

@emmaaum Actually it was really nice to hear Tagalog and see all the chicken and rice 😂

Makes me want to visit The Philippines again (as a holiday instead of work)

sheepchase,
@sheepchase@chai.kibbutz.gay avatar

@emmaaum Surely they’ll make another… surely?!

Happy to fangirl. Also need to find ALLTHEWEN’s instagram.

Gut Shabbes everyone. Shabbat shalom, shalom aleichem.

@sheepchase@chai.kibbutz.gay avatar

@emmaaum Yeah it’s Prime. One episode is about 25 mins I think so I can concentrate for that long lol.

I use Instagram other than here mainly I guess. And LINE (which is probably mostly Japanese specific).

@emmaaum Shavua tov!!! ☀️

sheepchase,
@sheepchase@chai.kibbutz.gay avatar

@emmaaum Hope you can find something. A friend actually recommended a (non-Thai BL) series from a while back called Mozart in the Jungle. I watched the first episode which was quite funny.

Going to watch a horror film now before bed.

I definitely needed to step away from Mastodon for a short while and it did do me good. But I realised I don’t have any other way to contact you :(

sheepchase,
@sheepchase@chai.kibbutz.gay avatar

@emmaaum Apart from having extremely dry hands (it’s become hand cream season here) I’m OK.

How about you? What are you doing today?

emmaaum, to Israel
@emmaaum@zirk.us avatar

The news interviewer trying to pretend that doesn't value lives because of the ratio of Palestinians released from prison (majority convicted of terror-related offenses, ie attempted hate-based murder) to hostages was so high is a clear example of that thing Westerners do where they forget that brown people have agency. Israelis (defined as white for this) are accorded all power. Which is utter bullshit.
Do you really think Israel were the ones to set those numbers?

sheepchase,
@sheepchase@chai.kibbutz.gay avatar

@emmaaum That infuriated me.

@emmaaum It seems to be pretty regular doesn’t it.

Great Kabbalat Shabbat with lots of singing. Still sad that our rabbi is leaving, but will still be around so it’s not totally terrible.

The shul will be rabbiless for quite a while though I think 😔

Morning. Well let’s just say that wasn’t the best night’s sleep I’ve had.

  • two tsunami warnings (eventually I worked out how to turn off the national alerts)
  • stress dreams
  • insomnia

Accidentally typed “Manukkah” instead of and now I’m thinking that should be a thing. 👀
