Contrary To Popular Belief, That Is Not A Cat But A Single Brain Cell.

a literal terrorist group, hezbollah: oh yeah we just fired another rocket at the jews

hezbollah after learning that it was arab children killed: nooo we didn't do it nooo believe us we would never do such a thing

people on this website, for some reason: i believe you 100% it was obviously staged by israel because everything you guys say is the compelte truth

Because I'm only seeing other Jews posting about this, non-Jews I need you to be aware that for the past month or two there has been a wave of bomb threats and swattings at synagogues all across the US. They usually do it when services are being livestreamed. I haven't seen a single non-Jew talking about this. High holidays are coming up in a few weeks, which is when most attacks happen against our communities. We're worried, and we need people to know what's happening to us.

Having been a part of the left for decades I think I can sum up how they went wrong

The left used to look to grassroots fighters of injustice as role models. They saw what the Black Panthers did giving school children free lunches. They saw groups like the Gay Liberation Front fighting for rights. They saw so many people in developing countries fighting for freedom and safety

A generation ago we knew why we were fighting. Then minority groups started to gain more of the equity they fought for and membership became about identity; nobody wanted to be a straight white person. The new generation came in after the struggle and tried to continue but so many of the fights were won and instead of picking up the fights remaining, they just wanted to continue with violence

They looked at radical Islam and assumed if someone is being violent there must be a righteous cause. They kept the violence and lost the fucking point
