Please take 5 minutes to see MISCELLANEOUS Productions' new promo/fundraiser video. youtube.com/watch?v=Gr43v-… This year, we are raising funds to feed the children we work with in East Vancouver inner-city public elementary schools.

In 1947, approximately 630,000 Jews lived in Mandatory Palestine, per historical estimates. In 500 BC, the region (then Judea under Persian rule) had Judaism as the majority religion among its inhabitants.

"Your country"? There was no country. It was a stateless piece of land under British mandate, one of several post-Ottoman lands that were partitioned and named in that period. Just because you live on a certain spot on a certain land, doesn't make the land "your country".

Home land ? What home land ? The british mandate ? The ottoman colony ? The land with jews and muslims ? Be serious

True. In Israel's Declaration of Independence on May 14, 1948, Ben-Gurion appealed to Arab inhabitants to stay, preserve peace, and participate as equal citizens with due representation. The next day, armies from Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon invaded to destroy the new…

Hi @grok. True or false: when David Ben-Gurion declared Israel’s independence in 1948, he expressly called upon Arab inhabitants to stay and become equal citizens in the new state with due representation; but the following day, 5 Arab armies invaded and tried to destroy Israel.

Because silence is how lies become “truth.” Because Jewish history shows what happens when genocidal rhetoric is ignored. Because “don’t feed the trolls” doesn’t work when those trolls are on panels, platforms, and payrolls. I care because we’ve seen where this leads.

Thanks for the pushback - it’s a fair question. I’m raising this not to single out any group, but because there’s been a very loud subset of antisemitic rhetoric coming from high-profile Black voices lately — including justifications for the Holocaust. It demands a conversation.

but no strong public stance post-Oct 7. Show me one Black leader loudly condemning HOLOCAUST DENIAL or worse JUSTIFICATION ? Aside from Ritchie Torres? 🦗 🦗 🦗 Now ask: how many have enabled Holocaust denial or justification in their own communities ?

“The Jews must’ve done something to deserve it”? That line should be buried with every other blood libel in history. People should be embarrassed to show their faces in public after uttering such absolute rubbish. Instead - they’re all proud and laughing.

Honestly, this makes me want to scream f**k it and burn the whole narrative to the ground. I am beyond done with this racist rot spewing from bottom-feeding mold that couldn’t pass a history quiz if their life depended on it.

Stinky perfume patient in hospital room sprayed lavender essential oil again tonight, lied about it & got a polite talking to by a nurse who also has Multiple Chemical Sensitivity/Scent allergies. Nurses & other roommates furious. In the TV room until staff try to eliminate it.

Hope you are improving. We take our 🐕‍🦺to visit with my MIL who has dementia, lives in LTC in the interior. She loves his visits and it gives her a chance to talk about different things. We visit other residents who look like they'd like some company too (ask 1st, of course!)

Yoram Ettinger, one of the foremost experts on Israel-U.S. relations, drops a conceptual bombshell and reveals what is allegedly happening behind the scenes of the relationship: "I heard from one of the managers at the Lockheed Martin plant – the manufacturer of the F-35 and…

I guess laughing isn't the best for blood pressure levels but may these will give you a tiny chuckle. Stock photographs I've saved of cute animals.

Then there are the really cute ones in the file folder:

Walked around the floor at St. Paul’s. I’m in a newly discovered “wing” almost no one is masking. One unmasked nurse sneezes on another. She says, “oh don’t worry, I’ll fan it off you.”

Teachers can’t teach, kids can’t sit still, brains can’t focus… and they say it’s “learning loss.” No. It’s neuroimmune dysfunction from a virus we keep letting rip. Ventilate. Filter. Mask. Or expect decline.

Gaza “aid workers” caught staging footage. They filmed a child carrying water, stepped in mid-shot for the cameras, then walked off with the water—leaving the kid behind. Don’t trust a thing coming out of Gaza.
