  • "I John Brown am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with Blood. I had... vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed, it might be done."

  • Wow it turns out the rabbis against zionism were actually antisemites all along!

    • •Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) is a radical anti-Israel and anti-Zionist activist group that advocates for the boycott of Israel and eradication of Zionism.

      •JVP does not represent the mainstream Jewish community, which it views as bigoted for its association with Israel. JVP’s staunch anti-Zionist positions place it squarely in opposition to mainstream American Jews and Jews worldwide, most of whom view a connection with Israel as an integral part of their social, cultural or religious Jewish identities. JVP promulgates the view that Jews who identify even tangentially with Israel are motivated by white supremacy, Jewish racial chauvinism and religious supremacism.

      how good is gatekeeping a cultural identity in order to preserve a genocidal settler colony?

      • JVP promulgates the view that Jews who identify even tangentially with Israel are motivated by white supremacy, Jewish racial chauvinism and religious supremacism.

  • you can expect this as long as AIPAC's checks keep clearing and they aren't forcibly disbanded for being the malicious foreign agents of a nuclear-armed rouge state that they really are

      Whereas the Jewish people are native to the Land of Israel;

      Whereas throughout history and across the reign of multiple kingdoms, the Jewish people were persecuted and expelled from the Land of Israel, forced to live as minority diaspora communities in other lands;

      Whereas Jewish diaspora communities were historically violently persecuted in, and in some cases expelled from, other countries throughout the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and Asia due to their religion;

      Whereas the Nazis attempted to annihilate the entire Jewish population of Europe during the Holocaust, murdering 6,000,000 Jews during this time;

      Whereas this genocide provided new urgency to re-establish a Jewish homeland for the Jewish people following the Holocaust, where they would not be a vulnerable minority, where they could freely practice their faith, and where something like the Holocaust could never happen again;

      Whereas the modern State of Israel was established on May 14, 1948;

      Whereas even after the establishment of the State of Israel, other countries and terrorist entities continued to attack Israel, reject its right to exist, and call for its destruction; and

      Whereas Israel is the only Jewish State, and therefore, despite persistent external threats, the existence of Israel provides Jews a place to live free from persecution and discrimination: Now, therefore, be it

      Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

      (1) reaffirms the State of Israel’s right to exist;

      (2) recognizes that denying Israel’s right to exist is a form of antisemitism;

      (3) rejects calls for Israel’s destruction and the elimination of the only Jewish State; and

      (4) condemns the Hamas-led terrorist attack on Israel. Attest:
