Your typical Jewish person in America has condemned Israel 10x louder than the leaders of Judaism. The internal fallout/reckoning from this is going to be on par with the Catholic sex abuse scandals.
Happy Rosh Hashanah y'all.

Canadians don't have rights. We have privileges that can be revoked at the drop of a hat by rightwing perverts who are obsessed with the genitals of children.
Three days after the UN inquiry declares "genocide" in Gaza the Carney government says they are still waiting for "all the evidence" before taking a stand. What an epic moral failure.
Absolutely disgusting behaviour from the AB leg

Hey man! Iām in Bali for a few weeks on vacation and I wondered if you knew a decent hill somewhere around Seminyak for doing hill repeats? Doesnāt have to be too long, maybe 100m, and just somewhere not too terrifying with traffic?

No words.
Basically all the Chinese food familiar to Americans is derived from Southern Chinese food from Canton, Hong Kong, Sichuan, etc. Unless you have specifically sought out Northern Chinese food, it is very likely you have never had it (itās really good).

Keep an eye out! As AI winds down while VC money runs out, they're going to continue following the same failed playbook Web3 used. They'll redirect the focus from big money (companies, entrepreneurs) to marginalized communities. Prepare to see AI re-spun as a tool to empower women/POC/LGBT.

Iām committed to my dinosauric path to extinction and will insist that communities need to relearn (and often learn for the first time) to take on social support functions that do not belong to professional therapists or to an LLM.

This was totally the angle I was trying to express. The drum beat in the song is really giving stomp followed by clap

Social media is almost literally the opposite of real organizing. It reinforces all the tendencies that make movements fail and steals the energy that should go into productive action

Yes I do, although Iāve read the live preview often doesnāt do great with the extra hardware
I switched to Linux Mint for my laptop this year and love it. I want to switch my desktop too instead of jumping to Windows 11 but I'm a bit worried about compatibility for some of the hardware and plugins I use (audio stuff).

US-Israeli backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid distributions are sites of "orchestrated killing and dehumanization", MĆ©decins Sans FrontiĆØres/Doctors Without Borders says in a new report calling for the scheme's immediate dismantling www.msf.org/ghf-run-food...
Rabbi Rachel Timoner was arrested with a minyan of Tāruah rabbis last week protesting to get food into Gaza. In her own words, hereās why she took a stand.

Canada must not cede any more of our sovereignty to the US by backing down on recognizing Palestine as a state, and the Carney government should make it clear that it won't give an inch. www.davidmoscrop.com/p/is-canada-...
One of the best ways to tell that Canada is on the right side of history re: Palestine is that all of the worst quisling propagandists in the business are busy gnashing their teeth and rending their garments.
"Our country is starving the people of Gaza to death. The international community must impose crippling sanctions on Israel until it ends this brutal campaign and implements a permanent ceasefire": letter in the Guardian from prominent Israelis. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
Recognition of the state of Palestine should not be used as a bargaining chip. It should have happened months ago. We also need far greater action to stop the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, including fully ceasing arms sales and implementing sanctions against the Israeli cabinet.
Really sad to learn of Joeās passing. Deeply grateful for all the time I got with him, he had more passion for the theatre than anyone Iāve ever met. It was so inspiring and infectious. And god he was a gorgeous actor!
HAPPENING NOW: a group of New York rabbis are being arrested at a protest outside the Israeli consulate calling for bringing food into Gaza, an end to the war, and return of all hostages @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social
It's not political to think people shouldn't be starved to death.
18th century dad: you know how bees doth fuck birds right?
I just sent this out. The Jewish people have moral frameworks for this moment. It is a choice not to heed them. Please let us meet this moment, let us see the shattered Temple around us, right now, and our responsibility to it.
Oh my god
when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet
I wonder how different our world would be if Canadian media could muster the same outrage over the governmentās inaction on the forced starvation in Gaza as we do for foreign interference and government debt levelsā¦ Breaks my heart, truly. These are choices.

New statement by 25 countries accuse Israel of 'drip feeding' aid to Gaza civilians as they condemn 'horrifying' killings, and call for an end to the war.
!['Suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths': Nations call for immediate end to war in Gazapublished at 14:25 14:25Breaking We've just had a statement from the UK and more than 20 other countries calling for an immediate end to the war in Gaza. Here's the statement from the UK Foreign Office in full: We, the signatories listed below, come together with a simple, urgent message: the war in Gaza must end now. The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths. The Israeli governmentās aid delivery model is dangerous, fuels instability and deprives Gazans of human dignity. We condemn the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food. It is horrifying that over 800 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid. The Israeli governmentās denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable. Israel must comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law. The hostages cruelly held captive by Hamas since 7 October 2023 continue to suffer terribly. We condemn their continued detention and call for their immediate and unconditional release. A negotiated ceasefire offers the best hope of bringing them home and ending the agony of their families. We call on the Israeli government to immediately lift restrictions on the flow of aid and to urgently enable the UN and humanitarian NGOs [non-governmental organisations] to do their life-saving work safely and effectively. We call on all parties to protect civilians and uphold the obligations of international humanitarian law. Proposals to remove the Palestinian population into a āhumanitarian cityā are completely unacceptable. Permanent forced displacement is a violation of international humanitarian law. We strongly oppose any steps towards territorial or demographic change in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Alex de Waal has worked on humanitarian causes across the globe for over 40 years. āThere is no case, over those four decades, of such minutely engineered, closely monitored, precisely designed mass starvation of a population as is happening in Gaza today.ā
