if you want to stymie the growing wave of antisemitism, then target Nazis. target the fash. target the "alt-right" brownshirts. that's all where the real threat to us Jews is coming from.
I'm not in any danger from people criticizing an apartheid state. but I am in considerable danger from the growing right-wing movement to classify me as subhuman based upon who my mother was.
The tactic, under authoritarian regimes, where state forces pull back and allow pro-regime counter-protestors to move in and do violence against demonstrators. Textbook move.

Payton Gendron murders 10, Nikolas Cruz murders 17, Dylan Roof murders 9, & Patrick Crusius murders 23—All calmly arrested, and one even got Burger King.
Students and professors at Emory, Columbia, Indiana, & UCLA peacefully protest war—All violently arrested, rubber bullets deployed, & sniper on scene.
There’s something deeply wrong with our public policy when anti-war protestors are treated more harshly than are mass murdering terrorists.

Criticism of a country’s government and actions is free speech... Unless the country in question is Israel, in which case it’s antisemitism and should be silenced.
If a person truly believes that, they should not be considered a viable candidate for holding public office.
Svenska Läkare mot Kärnvapen
Visste du att den intensiva hettan vid en kärnvapenexplosion kan få kroppar att helt förångas? Kärnvapen producerar stora mängder radioaktiv strålning som dödar omedelbart, men även lång tid efteråt genom strålsjuka och cancer. På vår sajt www.laromkarnvapen.se har vi samlat allt du vill, och inte vill, veta om kärnvapen.
Anyone familiar with Mexico City universities immediately understands what went down last night in #UCLA: The pro-Palestinian student encampment on the campus was attacked by "porros".
A porro is an individual who uses violent means to help achieve certain, often political, goals at universities there. The "grupos porriles" have been called the "shock troops" of Mexican universities.
Crazy to see them in action in California.

#WhatchaReading ? I haven't been posting about books much, been kind of in a meh mood. Still slowly reading Demon Copperhead, which is amazing but a LOT. Listened to Carrie Soto is Back, which was a bit of a hard sell because of the unlikable narrator but very enjoyable in the end. And just finished The Prisoner's Throne which I enjoyed but kind of forgot about as soon as I'd finished it.
I should finish City of Last Chances by Adrian Tchaikovsky today…I don’t normally read very long books with ensemble casts but he won me over with the set-up and his sense of humour.
I am looking forward to finally finishing though, and this weekend will be Connie Willis’s The Road to Roswell — longtime fan, looking forward to it
