The Biden administration wants you to believe that the reason they are funding the Israeli military is out of a commitment to Jewish safety. This is the moral cover they use, a cloak for their collaboration in heinous war crimes.
As Jews, we reject this myth with every fiber of our beings. Together, with tens of thousands of American Jews who have spent the last year protesting for an end to the slaughter, we refuse to let our histories, identities and traditions be used as the justification to massacre Palestinians.
Well said. Israel has nothing to do with my safety. Israel has never made me safe. If anything, Israel has made me less safe because people just assume I support them. They don’t even have to ask if I’m Jewish first. I look as stereotypically Jewish as Woody Allen. Who knows if the antisemitism I’ve been on the receiving end of was because someone thought, due to Israel calling itself the home of the Jews and the Jewish state, I was in part responsible for what they did.
Also, you can join Jewish Voice for Peace for as little as $18 a year.

Do I have to be Jewish to join JVP?
No, you don’t.
JVP is an organization that is inspired by Jewish values and traditions to work towards peace and justice.
We are committed to building an inclusive Jewish community, that, like many of our families, welcomes Jews and allies who share our values and appreciate our traditions, who advocate for an end to Israeli human rights abuses, and who oppose anti-Jewish hatred, anti-Arab racism, and Islamophobia.
As much as I admire organizations which promote interfaith relations, my problem is when the religious texts of different faiths are literally combative towards other beliefs. No, it’s not just an Islam thing.
It’s really the responsibility of religious academics to start putting ancient texts in a context which is more conducive towards improved interfaith relations and overall societal stability. Otherwise, religions need to get out of politics and policy making, and just stay a personal matter (as they always should have been).
Religious texts could explicitly tell people to be nice, people would still be assholes to each other. This is because the problem is people. Maybe people should ‘get out of politics and policy making’, because (for some reason) they have decided that hatred of the other is an acceptable political position, and a platform upon which candidates and parties can win.
The trading floor or the actual exchange.
Because if it was the exchange itself I would be able to turn on the news right now and it’d be like the second 9/11. That thing is crazy protected.
Isreal is a golden land for Middle East deployment. That’s why the US supports it so much. With Israel and Saudi Arabia the US can get anywhere they need. And most that “need” is right up Iran’s ass. I’m hazy on the US presence in Iraq and Afghanistan these days, but those are bonus locations also close to Iran.
That’s the reason guys. It’s not a mystery.

Actually the 100 families that “control” the world do so because they are obscenely wealthy due to inherited wealth and familial connections. Some of them just happen to be Jewish, so there’s no point in focussing on that fact.
Look through this list and find how many of them have Jewish heritage.
