Hi! This is literally not what Kamala Harris said at all.

Here is what she DID say:

On Oct. 7, Hamas, a terrorist organization, slaughtered 1,200 Israelis. Many of them young people who were simply attending a concert. Women were horribly raped. And so absolutely, I said then, I say now, Israel has a right to defend itself. We would. And how it does so matters. Because it is also true far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. Children, mothers. What we know is that this war must end. It must when, end immediately, and the way it will end is we need a cease-fire deal and we need the hostages out. And so we will continue to work around the clock on that. Work around the clock also understanding that we must chart a course for a two-state solution. And in that solution, there must be security for the Israeli people and Israel and in equal measure for the Palestinians. But the one thing I will assure you always, I will always give Israel the ability to defend itself, in particular as it relates to Iran and any threat that Iran and its proxies pose to Israel. But we must have a two-state solution where we can rebuild Gaza, where the Palestinians have security, self-determination and the dignity they so rightly deserve.

(emphasis mine)

there is SO much misinformation circulating about harris right now. remember that if something will affect your vote or make you feel bad about your vote, you need to fact-check it. for decades, people have intentionally spread misinformation about candidates, and it’s not going to stop now (not to mention the misconceptions or warping of information that can happen even among the supporters of a candidate.) check reliable news sources. don’t just trust social media. if it will change ANYTHING for you, make sure it’s true.

This is what it’s all about

I’ve been seeing a lot of people talking about accepting Orthodox Jews recently. And while I’m very happy that we’re getting some positive attention for once. I’ve noticed a lot of peoples arguments for why Orthodox (they really mean modern orthodox) Jews are cool is that they’re “not like ultra-orthodox Jews”. So here’s your reminder that if you don’t accept Jews you consider “too orthodox” then you don’t accept Orthodox Jews period.

Internalized antisemitism isn’t a cute look babes.

You motherfuckers yes I hate Kamala too but when she is announced to be the Democratic candidate we are all going to shoot fireworks and go to the goddamn polls

new years eve!!! wooo!!! go crazy go wild! 🥳🥳🥳

judaism really popped off with its prayer tunes. sometimes a tune gets stuck in my head and i realize it’s not a song but a prayer. and then i feel happy

Without going into too many personal details, my chronic illness has prevented me from attending my shul for over a month now. I miss my community so bad. It’s so hard to feel engaged while watching service livestreams. I just want to be in the building again, with my friends.

having poor circulation is great because people will touch your hand and go 'oh! you're so cold!' and for a moment you get to experience what it's like to be a vampire in a romance novel

Tashlich is a Jewish new year ritual of casting off the previous years sins/worries/fears/etc in the form of throwing bread into a river and this year about fifty jews watched in disbelief as my dog slipped quietly into the water and began pac man style sucking up chunks of soggy floating bread and we were absolutely powerless to stop her
