"France became the first country in the world to make abortion a constitutional right Monday [March 4, 2024], with French lawmakers adopting the bill in a 780-72 vote in a move inspired by the U.S. reversal of Roe vs. Wade.

The law gives women a "guaranteed freedom" to choose for themselves if an abortion is the right choice to make.

The amendment won the support of the three-fifths of the 925 National Assembly and Senate members required to pass in an extraordinary afternoon session at the Palace of Versailles just outside Paris in a move that was overwhelmingly supported by the public.

Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said to those assembled in Congress Hall that "we owe a moral debt" to the women who had to suffer through illegal abortions in the past.

After the vote to approve the constitutional change, Paris' Eiffel Tower was lit with the words in French "my body my choice" in the country where abortion was first legalized in 1975, two years after the United States' first ruling on Roe vs. Wade...

While limiting abortion ranked very low on France's political agenda, lawmakers were prompted to take action to protect abortion rights in 2022 following the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of the 1973 Roe ruling that legalized abortion. Subsequently, several American states have passed laws to restrict or outlaw the procedure.

"I say to all women within our borders and beyond, that today, the era of a world of hope begins," said Attal, who at 34 became the country's youngest prime minister.

This was the first time since 2008 that France took steps to change its constitution. There will be a ceremony to finalize the amendment on Friday [March 8, 2024], which is also International Women's Day."

just want to stress this point: being critical of the israeli government is not antisemitic. HOWEVER, if you choose to blatantly ignore why israel is so important to the jewish people and how significant it is to our history and culture, THAT is antisemitic.

#liberals love to separate jews into 2 categories #The Good Jews (anti-israel) and The Bad Jews (pro-israel)#we were indigenous to israel and then romans enslaved us so my ancestors had to flee to europe #but thousands of years later THAT ended up being dangerous bc of the pogroms so my family fled back to israel #when every other part of the world hated us this was the one place we could be safe #jumblr #antisemitism #israel #zionism #pro zionism #summer says stuff #queue wanna be a loser like me

as much as Zionism is a colonial project (though I tend to take the view as expressed in "Decolonizing Jewishness" re: Zionism as failed decolonization attempt) I think it's extremely reductive to claim that Ashkenormativity is to blame for the colonial nature of the Zionist reality. as more and more people from outside of Jewish spaces are introduced to the concept of Ashkenormativity, "Ashkenazi" is being used as a synonym for white and for colonizer.

this is not the whole picture. first and foremost, a large percentage of Ashkenazim are not white, though of course many of us are. conflating Ashkenazim with whiteness, both inside and outside of the Jewish community, contributes to the erasure of Jewish People of Color. additonally, the first Jews in the western hemisphere, arriving with conquistadors and colonizers, were, in fact, Sephardi. in the US, almost every Jewish person was Sephardi until the second half of the 19th century. Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews have also historically participated in and currently participate in Zionism, including in the settlements. furthermore, when we're talking about Israel's suppression of diasporic culture, a very real phenomenon, we need to discuss how many Ashkenazi cultural elements were also suppressed - including Yiddish and Ashkenazi Hebrew. in fact, Ashkenazim from Europe who wanted to hang onto their diasporic cultures were considered weak and effeminate. this reality should make sense to everyone who is aware of how Holocaust survivors are treated in Israel. in Israeli society, there is contempt for EVERY Jewish culture that is not Israeli, and of course that is compounded and exacerbated by racism for Mizrahi, Ethiopian, Indian, and other Jewish groups of color.

it's not the same dichotomy as the Black vs white dichotomy set up by US/UK/French/Spanish/etc colonization, and the term "Ashkenormativity" being taken out of Jewish contexts and applied to Zionism just makes Ashkenazim a convenient scapegoat for all the evils of Zionism. the main consequence I'm seeing is the idea that Ashkenazim are "fake European Jews" in contrast to the "real Middle Eastern Jews." this idea hurts us all. Jewish people are from every corner of the globe, and every Jewish person is a real Jewish person. I'm asking those of us who are pro-Palestine to tread very carefully when discussing this issue, and maybe retire the use of "Ashkenormativity" when it comes to discussing the racism of Zionism, which Jewish people from every diasporic background can and do participate in. Ashkenormativity refers to the centering of Ashkenazi history and customs when discussing Jewishness, and I'm really concerned that the way I'm seeing it used does not meet that definition and is not helpful (and maybe ends up centering Ashkenazi "evilness" or "Europeanness" while still not discussing Sephardi, Mizrahi, and other Jewish diasporic group's histories at all outside of their interactions with Ashkenazim in Israel). there's a lot of racism Jewish spaces, in Zionism, and in Israeli society, I just think we should call it racism and white supremacy.

#Zionism #free Palestine #asking this as a pro palestine ashki jew #just please consider that this situation is not equivalent or the same as western european colonization #while it is accurate to say that Zionism started in Europe and centers a European jewish experience #Ashkenazi is not a direct equivalent to white or european #many sephardim are white #the are other Jewish diasporic groups who are white or european #and you are spreading antisemitism when you say or imply that Ashkenazim are not really Jewish or aren't real Jews #or are less real than other Jewish diasporic group's #also looking at the politics of Israel if you removed every single Ashki person from the country the politics would likely swing far right #it's just not as black and white as yall want to make #and taking jewish conversations about very real issues within our community and applying those terms outwards as stand ins #for issues within colonial societies like racism #doesn't really work

europe is so interesting. they treat me like a cute kid, backpacking across europe at age 21. the next second they ask me why i'm responsible for gun violence in the united states.

#it's just so irritating #after my first night out in barcelona i introduced myself as peruvian exclusively #bc fjweiaofjreaogehw #they care sm abt american ex-pats gentrifying lisbon #(which is a problem)#but they don't care about literally any of the other clear as fucking day problems in their continent #i introduced myself as american #(texan moving to californian)#and then asked for my opinions on anti-queer laws; pro-gun laws; and why i still 'support' the country #i just happen to live therefjewiaofjreioag #this one parisian thought that we never learned abt the renaissance like #how much do u wanna bet they never learned abt any usa renaissances (harlem; french language rebirth in louisiana; etc)#cw: gun violence mention #gun #gun mention #so at least now i know i can't live in europe long-term #dash rambles #tonight is a night to think abt my spain speed-run #and then move on to portugal where hopefully they understand me #if it weren't for the tourism (english-speakers) i would've been in trouble in barcelona bc catalan doesn't sound as spanish-y as it reads

it is fascinating to me that the majority of people it seems have never considered that borders are just lines on a map? its just a piece of paper? not to have anarchic tendencies but like. it’s just words

#tried to type and retype this sentiment in prev but it kind of negates the premise of the post (which i agree with)#because like. yeah borders are just lines #but like re prev jannik IS italian since thats what he identifies with #even though people call him german/austrian because of his background #which is weird to say right? its weird. like idk man he plays for team italy sooo #so i didnt want to be like well borders are fake. true but not the point #and now unrelated to prev post but back to the topic of borders #they do fascinate me. guy who’s obsessed with colonial history #something i think about a lot is like. ppl r always talking about how tiny european countries are etc #and its like yeah. due to the diversity of ethnic groups in the continent (yeah yeah multiple cultures in a country too)#and then comparing that to north america like if we considered indigenous bands and nations in the same way its the same thing #but no one ever talks about it. like damn theres a great diversity of people groups worldwide and only europe gets to carve out areas #<- although like again. not that im pro ethnicstate or pro border but like theres a reason why europe is small and other countries arent #idk. i heart political science and history and anthropology and culture god bless

If Israel is “colonists” which I wouldn’t even know how cuz they stayed in the Middle East and never expanded beyond that, why wouldn’t they states to colonize other countries? I mean they were all in Europe.

I meant it IS one of the world’s top religion.

I know Muslims do when they move into an area they change laws to benefit them. Places in the UK attempt to incite sharia law.

So if Israel are these “land stealing territory’s” why haven’t they done it? I mean they have had thousands of years to do it 🧐
