Passover is the Jewish festival of freedom.

Israel has 133 hostages, alive and dead, still held in captivity. I'm grateful for each one released, but as long as some of our people, Jews and non-Jews alike, are hostages, we all are. Also, yesterday alone, Israel saw no less than 6 terrorist attacks (attempted or thwarted) with zero casualties, and I'm grateful no one got hurt, but what kind of freedom do we have, when this is our daily reality, and it's not even recognized?

At the end of every Passover Seder, for 2,000 years now, Jews have concluded the holiday feast with, "Le'shana ha'baa bi'Yerushalayim (לשנה הבאה בירושלים)," next year in Jerusalem.

(here's a Passover Hagaddah from Casablanca, in Morroco, with this phrase and a drawing of the Hebrew Temple in Jerusalem -)

Passover is the festival of freedom, the story of a nation breaking its bonds of enslavement, it's a story of emancipation, and as such, it is a beacon of hope and a reminder that freedom is possible for all those who yearn for it. That's why slaves in the US south adopted this language, and expressed their hopes for freedom through the story of the Jewish exodus from Egypt.

But the story doesn't end as soon as the Israelites have left Egypt, it doesn't end in the desert. Achieving freedom is a process. That ancient story demonstrates that, but we have other, more recent examples. Jews liberated from the Nazi camps were still re-living the horrors of the Holocaust every night, if not more often than that. The hostages who have been released from their captivity at the hands of murderous, rapist Hamas terrorists are still working to recover. Freedom is a process. And in the story of the exodus from Egypt, which Jews have been re-telling annually for thousands of years, guiding our thoughts and understanding of what our freedom is, the story doesn't end when our ancestors left Egypt. The final note of the story defines our freedom as only being fully achieved after going through the journey in the desert, the process, when we are once more living freely in our ancestral, promised land, when we return to our holy city. And no matter where we live, we express this idea in Hebrew, our native, ancestral language.

(here's another Passover Hagaddah, this one from 1940's Cairo, in Egypt of all places, with this same phrase -)

Poet Amnon Ribak (whose career was originally in hi-tech before he started delving into what his Judaism means to him) once wrote, "Every man needs some sort of an Egypt, to deliver himself from its house of slaves, to leave in the middle of the night into a desert of fears, to walk straight into the waters and see it parting in front of him." He takes the Jewish exodus and turns it into a metaphor for personal challenge and growth. And how does he finish this poem? (my emphasis) "Everyone needs an Egypt, and a Jerusalem, and one long journey to remember forever through the feet."

Here's the poem composed as a song (composing poems is an Israeli tradition. And while we're at it, this is a reminder that the biggest center of original Jewish culture and art in the world today is Israel):

youtube

This Passover, we will be remembering and re-telling the story of our ancestors' exit from Egypt, we will collectively yearn for Jerusalem again, we will do our best to learn from this ancient story as if each of us has been personally delivered from Egypt, we will cherish the freedoms that we have, and keep in mind the ones we still have to fight for, first and foremost the literal freedom of our hostages. Please, if you celebrate Passover, consider leaving an empty chair at your Seder table for all the people who are not yet free.

And may we all have a happy and meaningful Pesach! <3

To Hate Israel for What They've Done to Palestine is not Antisemitic

It's not antisemitic to hate Israel for what they've done to Palestine, but it's antisemitic to hate Jews for what's happening in Palestine now. The State of Israel and the Jewish people are not the same.

"im mentally ill so i can't talk about stressful topics waaa waa waa" mentally ill person here! go fuck yourself, you self-absorbed zionist. it costs 0 money and 0 stress to just fucking share something. you're disgusting and privileged, no matter how much you tell yourself you aren't. stop babying yourself and learn a shred of empathy for people going through a genocide, you waste of oxygen. holy shit

I am not a fucking zionist.

I even acknowledged what Isreal is doing as genocide. I am literally on the same side as you, you fucking illiterate dumbass. I am anti-zionist. I'm not "babying" myself. Part of taking care of myself is knowing my limits and boundaries. I know that extensive discussions of genocide would upset me greatly, so I stay updated on the current situation and that's all.

You are out here demanding everyone to be activists. I don't want to be an activist. I don't speak for anybody except for myself. It isn't my job to talk about Palestine or "spread awareness" (when awareness is through the fucking roof). In fact, it isn't the job of anybody who doesn't want to engage. I am an entertainer and a writer first and foremost. You demand everyone to always have the horrors of reality on their mind. I kindly offer an escape.

Also, you can be mentally ill and still he ableist. Mental illness takes many forms so your experiences are your own, and we only share baseline common experiences.

I am against your cult-like extremists behavior, just as much as I am against the extremism of the IDF or HAMAS.

ISIS assault in Russia

After more than a hundred innocent civilians were killed in a barbaric ISIS attack in a theater near Moscow, and after ISIS claimed responsibility for it, Putin still has the unmitigated gall to point fingers at Ukraine for this atrocity and use the death and suffering of so many of his countrymen to further his own agenda.

The man is FILTH.

I just can't be on this site anymore. The shameless pro-terrorism and blatant antisemitism are sickening, and no amount of tag blocking shields us from seeing it. Watching fellow left-of-center folks promoting hate and supporting regimes that literally treat women as objects has left me beyond disillusioned. This site was my solace initially and is now just exacerbating my anxiety and depression.

I never thought I'd live to see the day where Jews experience significantly more antisemitism from the left (of which I was always a part - until now) than the right. Sending love to all the other Jews out there who are being threatened and attacked by the same liberals whose other causes we always wholeheartedly supported. No matter how much twisted hatred is spewed in your direction, you're loved by the people who matter and are never truly alone.

I'm not deactivating in case anyone who shares my passion for old movies ever comes across this blog. Sending love to the handful of truly wonderful human beings I crossed paths with here!

I am at a loss for words.

A Jewish woman in Paris was kidnapped, held for several days, and raped for being a Jew, and her mother was psychologically taunted and tormented, as "revenge for Palestine."

And while the perpetrator is the main person responsible for this horrific crime, every single person denying or justifying the Oct 7 sexual violence is guilty of contributing to this normalization, making this antisemitic terrorist think his excuse is in any way an acceptable justification for this atrocity. Every single person who didn't believe Jewish victims, every single person who demanded proof, but turned a blind eye to the visual evidence Hamas terrorists themselves provided, every single person who called the films and pictures and testimonies from countless Israelis "propaganda," every single person who justified it and claimed that "rape is resistance." They're all complicit. They all have to know they've helped make Jews everywhere in the world less safe.

Speaking of complicity, even though a UN report found credible evidence for the sexual crimes committed by Hamas on Oct 7 and against Israeli hostages since, the UN secretary general, Antonio Guterres, has personally decided to leave Hamas out of the annual report on sexual violence in conflicts around the world. Israeli commentators expressed their belief that this was done, because had it been included, then the UN would have no choice but to finally recognize that Hamas is a terrorist organization. The UN is complicit. Guterres is complicit. Hold them accountable.

Speaking of the UN's known anti-Israel bias, what a surprise, their report on UNRWA, their own agency, claimed not to support the charges against it, though they did find that UNRWA has "some issues" maintaining its neutrality...

Just to make it clear, "staff publicly taking sides" refers to UNRWA employees being openly anti-Israel, antisemitic and pro anti-Jewish violence, and the "problematic content" in UNRWA textbooks is incitement to terrorism and educating Palestinian kids to be antisemitic. This alone constitutes more than "some issues with neutrality." But there's more. Out of the 12 Gaza UNRWA employees first identified by Israel as having participated in the Hamas massacre, at least three were killed inside Israel on Oct 7 itself, and at least one more was captured on film while helping to kidnap an Israeli young man's body from an Israeli kibbutz into Gaza using a vehicle with UN license plates. I'd say that's a bit more than "difficulties with neutrality". In fact, the UN itself implicitly recognized the evidence was damning, or it would not have fired nine of the twelve right away, and admit a tenth UN worker was dead following the invasion and attack on Israeli communities, while claiming they're still "clarifying" the identities of the other two killed employees who participated in the Hamas massacre. BTW, it's been about 3 months of the UN "clarifying" the identities of those other two dead employees (screenshot below is from the article published 2 days ago, link with same claim on "clarification" is from Jan 27).

UNRWA is complicit. There are other humanitarian aid NGOs, which can do better. Dismantle UNRWA. But we know the UN will not be dismantling the cash cow that this agency is, even though no other refugee group gets an equal treatment to that. At what point do we say out loud, that if more and more UNRWA employees are found to be complicit in a massacre or being embedded with Hamas, if Hamas terrorists have continuously used UNRWA infrastructure to store weapons and shoot at Israelis, if UNRWA was found to be providing a terrorist organization with internet and electricity, and if the UN can't hold its own agency accountable, then the UN is also complicit in UNRWA's collaboration with Hamas?

In Israel itself, as the biggest Jewish community in the world is celebrating Passover, attacks on Israeli Jews continue.

Two days ago, on the Eve of Passover, a combined terrorist attack took place in Jerusalem, in an ultraorthodox neighborhood, with two Palestinian terrorists driving their car into a group of visibly Jewish young people, then the attackers left their car and tried shooting at their victims, but the weapon thankfully malfunctioned. Three people were lightly wounded. (the vid below shows most of the attack, but not the graphic parts of the car hitting the young Jewish men)

youtube

Yestrday, the Lebanon-based terrorist organization Hezbollah launched three suicide drones at Israel's northern communities, along its Mediterranean shore. This attack comes on the heels of the news that out of 18 Israelis wounded in a previous Hezbollah drone attack on an Israeli Arab Bedouin town, one has died from his injuries, after fighting for his life for 5 days. It's 27 years old Dor Zimel, an officer who was stationed in that town to protect it. Dor was set to get married next month, and he had proposed to his fiancee with a ring donated by a bereaved father (his son, 23 years old Addir Messika, was a jewelry designer, and the ring was one he designed before he was murdered by Hamas terrorists at the Nova music festival on Oct 7). Dor's organs were donated and saved the lives of 7 people, including an injured soldier, who's also the father of a girl. May Dor and Addir's memory be a blessing.

And today, on the second day of Passover, an attempted stabbing attack was stopped before the Palestinian female terrorist managed to harm anyone. She was neutralized at the scene.

I'm sure all those who decried Israel having to continue its war against Hamas during Ramadan are being extra loud about this wave of anti-Jewish violence during Passover, which is actually just a partial list of the on going attacks on Israeli Jews during this holiday.

In other news, the preparations for the IDF's ground operation in Rafah have actually already started. Reports suggest 250,000 Palestinians who have come to the southern city as they left other war zones in Gaza, have already left Rafah, and that Israel has already started building encampments to house those it will evacuate from the city before the ground operation begins.

Trying to remember when have I ever seen an army building an entire camp city for the enemy's civilian population. I'm coming up blank.

This is Miri Gad Mesikka.

She lives in kibbutz Be'eri, together with her husband Eli and their 3 kids. On Oct 7, they locked themselves in the bomb shelter from the invading Hamas terrorists. They were in there for 12 hours, fighting for control of the bomb shelter's door, until the terrorists set their house on fire, and the Gad Messika family had to make an impossible choice: stay and maybe suffocate to death from the smoke (or worse if the fire got in), or jump from their second floor window, probably be injured and maybe be shot to death by the terrorists. Eventually, they chose to jump out. They all got injured, and one of her sons got his leg broken, but the terrorists didn't spot them, and this decision saved their lives. During the time they were locked inside the bomb shelter, Miri recounts how she would see some of her friends and neighbors not responding anymore, and she couldn't know why. She kept hoping it was because their phone batteries ran out. "Today I know some of them were being kidnapped, while others were being murdered. It was a massacre, happening in countless different spots at the same time." One of her friends told Miri, that her daughter, a baby who was less than one years old, was shot in the head right in front of her. Then the friend's husband was murdered as well, and despite being shot with a bullet in her lungs herself, the friend somehow managed to get herself and her two other kids away.

Never forget.

I have decided to post that chat

But I am the terrorist for standing up for a minority!

Funny memory . I, a Palestinian Semite, got expelled from highschool in Germany. For being antisemitic because I stated Zionist are not a result of second world war and that they do not represent all Jews and that Arabs are semits as well. That how I did my high school in the USA

Normally I prefer to keep current events, politics, foreign affairs, etc. at a minimum on this blog. But I feel I need to be truthful about where I stand and I don't care if any non-Muslims take offense....

*deep breath*

I stand in solidarity with all among the world's Muslims who are as decent, peaceful, friendly, faithful and good as any human being I could have the pleasure to know.

But absolutely FUCK the Middle Eastern world, the unreformed, primative, barabaric, radical "Jihad Islam" religion of uncivil unrest and extremism that comes from it, and the heartless, cowardly, inhumane terrorist scum who pratice it via deadly attacks of mass destruction and unspeakably horrific, repugnant crimes against humanity. Any person, regardless of background, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, political/ideological leaning and faith, who brings about such evil is themself evil.

All those to whom the first paragraph applies: please know that you are loved. You are valid. Your lives are worth so much and your human rights are to be respected.

ISIS, Al-Quaeda, Hamas, the Taliban, the Iranian Mullah Clergy, the Assad regime and the Salman regime: the Muslim world is to be a better one without you all in it. To Hell with every last one of you. Every. Last. One.

Exactly these people didn’t immigrate to England, the US or any other Western country to escape these terrorist groups, they immigrated to divide our society!

It is time to cut off the head of the snake and the free world needs to stand with Israel to take out these terrorist organizations that are controlling Iran, Palestine, Yemen and so many other countries that innocents citizens are considered nothing but ‘disposable martyrs’ for their religious wars.

Do NOT go anywhere near me if you defend HAMAS.

I do not support exremist terrorist groups that rape and murder innocent civilians. That is fucked up and inexcusable. Isreal being a colonist state that terrorizes Palestinians does not justify Hamas's terror. If you defend HAMAS, an antisemitic extremist terrorist group funded by actual Nazis, I will instantly block you.

America has been in an abusive relationship with Israel for 76 years and it’s given us nothing but trouble. I say it’s time to cut ties with that toxic colonial state.
