I may be deported soon I guess lol. Things here haven’t really changed since the 30’s ..

The wooden statue was criticised by Jewish groups for reinforcing the trope that Jesus was a Palestinian.

The backlash came almost immediately from religious entities and individuals worldwide.

On Monday, B’nai B’rith International described feeling “disturbed by the Vatican display of a Palestinian-made nativity scene featuring Jesus on a keffiyeh and the pope’s appearance with it.” The group said the display “isn’t just politicisation, but revisionism. It presents (only) Palestinians as innocent victims—and Jesus as a Palestinian, not a Jew.”

In response to the display’s removal, David Parsons, senior vice president and spokesman for the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, noted that “we are relieved at reports that the Vatican has decided to remove the provocative nativity display with an infant Jesus resting on a black-and-white keffiyeh, which is an unmistakable symbol of Palestinian nationalism.”

He said “This crèche not only denigrated Jewish heritage, it also undermined core tenets of the Christian faith. Indeed, millions of Christians worldwide were instantly incensed by this exhibit ahead of the Christmas season. The Vatican did the right thing in taking it down.”

Parsons described the display as “theological malpractice for the Holy See to allow this display to remain. For if Jesus was a Palestinian Arab, then he would not have qualified to be Christ, the promised messiah and savior of the world.”

By now, everyone will have heard the news of Israel’s stunning attack against Hezbollah.

Whether you think it was a legitimate strike or a terrorist attack, it seems pretty clear that it was utterly counterproductive.

Unless of course the intention was to provoke more violence, and maintain an extremist government’s grip on power.

In which case, bravo Bibi. Once again, you’ve outdone yourself. You fucking psychopath.

He also recently said he believes in abortion limitations, and Kshama Sawant, who's been working with Jill Stein on her campaign, said that they know they will not win the White House - but they want to prevent Kamala from winning Michigan. Ergo, handing over a Trump victory. Trump's said multiple times he think Biden should've given Israel more help btw. There's a reason they've given him a settlement in the Golan Heights.

Jill stein has been posted a handful of times on here so I thought this would be a fair post to make. Who you vote for is a very personal decision and anyone can understand why you wouldn't want to vote for the Democrats. But if you're planning to vote for Jill Stein because she's the "greater good", please just look more into her and the Greens. If I had the time to post it all, I would. There's evidence there that she and much of the Green Party don't actually care about any of the issues that they talk about, and that Jill Stein really only runs as a spoiler candidate for the Dems - not because she's someone who actually wants to make change. She raised millions to recount votes in 2016 and to fund "voting reforms" and then those reforms didn't happen.* Jill Stein is just another corrupt politician, like the rest of them.

Our home in northern Gaza was a safe haven for our entire family, a place where we gathered every day to share simple moments that gave us strength and hope. Its walls witnessed our laughter, our dreams, and our family gatherings that brought us peace. But in a single moment, everything changed. The intense bombing left nothing as it was. The forces stormed our home, wreaked havoc in every corner, destroyed what they could, and left us with nothing but rubble and pain. Our memories were lost among the ruins, and we left our shattered home carrying a deep wound in our hearts. Today, we need your help and support to stand again and overcome this pain. https://gofund.me/1222af19

The Israeli wing of the human rights group stated that it was not involved in the research, funding, or writing of the report which said there was a ‘genocide’

Daniil Brodsky, chair of Amnesty’s Israeli branch resigns after witnessing unjust treatment of Palestinians within the group, and unscholarly criticism of Amnesty International’s genocide report.

Jonathan Glazer, a Jewish British director, won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for The Zone of Interest, about the family of Rudolf Höss living normal lives next to Auschwitz.

During his acceptance speech, he made explicit connection between his film and complicity in the ongoing destruction of Gaza:

“All our choices were made to reflect and confront us in the present, not to say: ‘Look what they did then’ — rather, look what we do now. Our film shows where dehumanization leads at its worst. It’s shaped all of our past and present. Right now, we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people,” the British filmmaker said to applause. “Whether the victims of October the 7th in Israel or the ongoing attack on Gaza — all the victims of this dehumanization. How do we resist?”
