"Jews and Arabs refuse to be enemies" in Arabic and Hebrew and a banner "Without racism, without violence, Jaffa is for all of us" and an activists' hotline to report cases of bigotry.

Today's additions to the latest (third) big thread with protest graphics across Israel:

New banners by Standing Together in Tel Aviv Jaffa: "When we will say enough?"
Got Tibetan flag pins (made in Taiwan) and stickers "Long Live His Holiness the Dalai Lama" by the "International Campaign For Tibet"
Saw someone with Game Boy SP on a bus
A peculiar ball of feathers on the head
In Russia this would be punished as “gay propaganda” and tied to the “international lgbt movement” listed as terrorist by the government of Russia.

It is perfectly normal to travel on trains on the distances comparable to what people in the US have in Eurasia.
I only was in Canada once in my life, the only place out of all the Americas I have been to, and I will never be allowed by US authorities to even visit the US in my entire life.

This is the map of some of the trains I took personally in about the last decade without going much out of my way.
Woah Tasmania is big!
Times of Israel seems to be mostly decent.
The next addition to rightists of Japan believing in Korean-Chinese-Kurdish conspiracy of conquering Japan:
Definitely very little is known of earlier history for sure, but the same is the issue with peoples of Arabia, East Asia, historical Assyria etc. etc. who still have connection to that long of the past — the historical record is not endless. Not all are Indus Valley civilization.
Saw a tweet "my Roman empire is the long disappeared civilizations such as Judea" and immediately thought of a meme
The demanded prisoners and detainees to be released by Israel are not usually random unknown kids in detention, "at best" those are public figures known for advocating for murdering Israelis or Jews in general, but usually those are known militants.
Families of hostages and democratic and peace forces of Israel agree this is the price that could be paid if one means saving hostages. I personally go even further and say that considering Marwan Barghouti can perhaps be a new Arafat or Sadat I would support his release as well
Yeah, makes sense, I assumed it could be a child mistake
People demanded as part of hostage exchange deal include a huge list of life sentences. One eighteen year old kid released in November 2023 already in August 2024 opened fire on strangers wounding one Israeli and two Palestinians. timesofisrael.com/israeli-man-...
This artwork on the Container House of the Port of Jaffa says "ללא הבדל ילת גזע ומין כי כולנו בסון בני אדם שונים ביחד" "Regardless of ethnicity and gender Because we are all human Different together"
My last lunch at the Container House of the Port of Jaffa before I took down my paintings was what I'd consider the true Mediterranean diet, a zaatar pita with pizza bought at a Palestinian-Israeli stall there.

You forgot that you are obliged to complain against people who are an inch away from your world view, instead of actually complaining about those in power and their supporters.
"Oh now Blue Sky is still on bluesky when it's no longer cool among kids"
Obligatory side-note when mentioning haarets: the co owner of haaretz hired hitmen to murder or maim people including my european court human rights lawyer, the hitmen since arrested in EU, and Polish prosecutor general confirms he was behind the attack. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
When westerners came to what's today's Russia/Ukraine/Belarus they were very suspicious of mens bathing together thinking it's gay.
Re. a pardon of a Jewish terrorist by IL pres., don't forget that the peace deal means pardoning hundreds of Palestinian terrorists. If pardoning a Jewish terrorist advances the deal (which the families of hostages call for) among IL rightist govt., then what are the objections?
In Japan there's a moral panic about Kurds, @unseenjapan.com sometimes writes about it
Recently folks online had a moral panic because there was a rumour that a few Jewish students might be coming to Singapore. (on this screenshot Malaysians and Chinese are conversing)
The peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan that facilitated this was brokered by Donald Trump
Well, that time ago it wasn't good in the "west" either.
I'm not commenting about Indonesia because I have no idea about what is going on in Indonesia.
What if the only thing keeping the regime of Russia from being evil was the existence of open Polytechnic Museum and this is why ever since it closed in 2013 it wasn't reopened?

My glasses look like this every time I leave an air conditioner area. The funniest thing is when a bus is like this.
«The last day of August, This summer was not lived in vain. Chimeras of Notre Dame will be the first To see the dawn on fire over the city. Her blood will henceforth be pure dew On the white flowers of the first day of September.»
«Some dream of untamed horses, Some dream of polystyrene and ash. Some loves to live, someone loves to steal The scraps from else's table. She spent more than you can dream of - She gave it all away»

And so, just like that, my arts no longer at the Container House at the Port of Jaffa in Tel Aviv Jaffa.
Had a pidge on the window earlier today
This is the case when I think the pilots shouldn't have been fired, for the learned experience of such a near-failure would've likely helped them avoid similar issues in the future. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Knoe...
This very nice fish sandwich place closed today. “We left for reserve military service” says the hand-written note.
Last day of attempting to sell my arts at the port of Jaffa. The song in the background for me is associated with Windows 95 only.
Vadim Selin, a porter, was sentenced for 18 years incriminated "excusing terrorism" "participating in a terrorist organization" and "spreading falsehoods about Russian military". He says that he studied at a Christian school all his youth and opposes war. x.com/sota_vision/...
Artem Faizulin, an ex-lawyer of Alexey Navalny's movement had his apartment raided, but instead of him the authorities arrested his wife Irina Faizulina, taking her hostage for his work as a lawyer. x.com/mediazzzona/...
One characteristic of Holocaust is how >it would reach you anywhere<. A ship would be turned away even when at the shore of the US. This man left today's Lithuania decades before nazis, and was an elderly man in Norway but still was dragged to Nazi occupied Poland to be murdered
He is sad at home because he has no train to take Modi onto
everything burns: this is fine lil shlomush might need to do alternative service:
The team is also looking for volunteers&donations (the latter via www.politzk.com/support add TOKYO if you support this specific event). t.me/yasoprotivle...
This November a travelling exhibition "faces of Russian resistance" is to reach Tokyo, it will be at Sumida Park Riverside Gallery. Might be of interest for folks in Tokyo!
PM of India likes trains x.com/ca970008f4/s...
The next level is saying that “actual Holocaust” was “by Jews” who “via communism” murdered Slavs/ethnic Russians/Ukrainians/Christians
Jews in USSR and ex-USSR (I myself am one) are used for the notion that Holocaust is not real and we Jews made it up (I first heard it in school), this was even Soviet policy — no Jewish victims, only “civilians” (and communists), which now means “only victims are Slavs”.
I urge people to normieshly buy my art on etsy and subscrub to my posrcards on patreon since i hope to like the “career” of making arts!
That’s a great one!
The sheer living in Israel of a Jew, e.g. when I became a refugee and was denied by the west, it is considered “genocide” by people whose west denied me. bsky.app/profile/voka...
The least acceptable rhetoric regarding Israel among supposed progressives is to call to destruction of Israel and elimination (if one is moderate: expulsion) of all Israeli Jews and Palestinian Israelis (the latter are labeled as “traitors”).
e.g.
Personal note bsky.app/profile/voka...
On the next level is adding that the “true Holocaust” was Jews murdering Slavs/ethnic Russians/Ukrainians because Jews are equal to communist regime. And as a side-note — the common reaction of supposed progressives when they hear that I was denied by the west once I became a refugee is denial/cheer
Yes, Jews in USSR and ex-USSR (and I grew up in Russia fleeing to the west three years ago) are used for the notion that Holocaust is not real and we Jews made it up (I first heard it in school), this was even Soviet policy (but remains post-Soviet), and the actual victims were Slavs/ethnic Russians
China often sells industrial project at a loss to then hook the countries on own engineering. This is why Chinese govt construction company threw a tantrum and went to court when it was decided to not hire Chinese company for the 2nd and 3rd metrotram line in central Israel, their plan was to corner
Let me tell you about the cabinet of this guy called Benjamin Netanyahu…
And yes every performance is weird, here’s an example from Estonia youtube.com/watch?v=lEGl...
The main “wut” of my youth was “the love to three oranges” especially since i was sent to study theatre arts (costumes, decorations) and was nudged to make sketches for it, and watched a few performances en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lov...
Many such cases, i usually highlight this difference in treatment of self vs group re. the guilt of entire group perceived by the individual who considers self totally disconnected from their own group bsky.app/profile/voka...
The spinoff Urfin Juis that’s the continuation of the story got a cgi cartoon a few years ago but no idea how good or bad is it.
Some Soviet and post-Soviet kids got a crush in Malvina so unusual was the blue hair. The actress’s life was rather tragic, she became a star at aged 7 but then got concussion, was not allowed to film, got cancer, covid on top, and died in 2021 aged just 53.
*Tibetans as perceived peaceful but sneakily evil, Jews, Rohingya etc. **”Great replacement” and similar “theories” ***The only salvation offered to e.g. Uyghurs is to totally accept the security apparatus
A kids movie whose plot is about a perceived peaceful group* wants to secretly exploit another group seen as inferior** to create a moral panic and put itself in charge, but a good police officer saves the day and even manages to save a person from an inferior group by getting them into police***.
So, an Israir flight just flew from Berlin as usual via Turkey, and others it seems too.

The flights are still possible, just would be much longer, similar to what happened due to Russia closing airspace for EU/EEA/Switzerland/UK routes on transeurasian corridor. Russian, Armenian, Georgian, Uzbekistani, Azerbaijani airlines are going to be delighted still.
My timing was rather peculiar. I guess official Turkey wants to have its Islamic Revolution moment after official Turkey got rather upset at the sheer mention of Armenian genocide by Netanyahu. www.jpost.com/israel-news/...
In Marrakesh as I've been told, Jews usually painted their doors or houses blue. From what I've read this tradition of Moroccan Jews might be what caused the city to embrace blue over the years, forgetting the Jewish origins, since then being a municipal requirement for tourism attraction.

I like this "meme" I made when a Turkish seller informed me that they can't sell me Syrian soap because the Turkish government said so.
It's of note that Russia already has a FSB security zone near >all< borders including the northern border (Arctic) that is sometimes hundreds of kilometers deep, even Russian citizens can't go there without a permission (lest we escape). But no "buffer" would be imposed on Russia
Today there's an anti-war motorcycle protest convoy by Standing Together and allies
When I'm asked for mynumber in Japan i feel very nihongo jozu because it means people assume I'm Japanese resident

One good thing I liked about them is them incorporating Yiddish and other "smaller" languages but with their "owl ugly icons" upsells it in the end more disgusted me than anything. I currently have some Hebrew vocabulary on Quizlet (though am not actively learning), and HelloChinese looks nice.
They aren't good for languages that aren't Latin. I waited for Russian from Ukrainian but this didn't happen because of the war, and their Ukrainian from English is extremely weird, it's like "say hello" "say ten thousands five hundred sixty seven". Chinese is only Simplified. Hebrew is very weird.
Note: the tariff weirdness does not affect Patreon reward postcards, so people subscribed to my Patreon are all good (unless the postal service decides just to lose the postcard which happens). Similarly I can send unframed smaller artwork from etsy as plain shipments, also not affected.
I worry for longevity of today’s tickets
