Another day of BEGGING people to learn anything about Jewish history before making insane claims
Incredible that Jews treat Muslims like we are the most anti semetic people on Earth when anti semitism is a very European pass time. Wasn't us that tortured you in the Inquisition. Wasn't us that orchestrated the Holocaust? Mass murder of Jews has never been OUR history.

Something is happening in religious communities.
In my story published just yesterday, Steve Greenberg, executive director of Eshel, an advocacy org for LGBTQ Orthodox Jews, remarked that until recently, coming out as gay meant you had to leave the community.
Not anymore.
BREAKING: An immense step forward. Pope Francis calls for the decriminalization of homosexuality worldwide: "Declaring such laws 'unjust,' Francis said the Catholic Church can and should work to put an end to them. 'It must do this. It must do this.'"

I put my oven on self-clean the night before (pre-Passover cleaning) and thought there was a gas leak because my fire alarm said in a robot voice, “carbon monoxide”. Called 911 and had to get off a video meeting, told my colleague “hey, so the firefighters are here, gotta go.”

YEP. My ballot was rejected for a mismatched signature, and then it turned out my county had the highest reject ballot rate in the state! Youth + minority voters (I was 22) are disproportionately more likely to get rejected VBMs

Another fact check for the day:
The Cairo Genizah is FULL of secular writings in Hebrew. It has things like receipts and a poem from an entertainer named Nasir around the year 1300, whining about how much he hates hashish.
These manuscripts date as far back as the 6th century.

This is exactly why I have been warning people so strongly against sharing that message about the so-called “national day of jihad” — because it could have disastrous results exactly like this.
What a horrific tragedy for this family.
The man who stabbed a 6-year-old Palestinian boy to death in Illinois was "worried about the 'national day of jihad' on Oct. 13. Even though nothing happened then, he told his wife he believed something would happen the next day, without specifying what."

Sure! And the post-1948 expulsions happened in direct response to the creation of the State of Israel.
But to say “we never did anything” is false.

When it’s worded as “Cornell Discussion Forum,” with capital letters and all, it gives the appearance that this is a university-run or university-sanctioned website, which it isn’t.
The site has many university threads on it and it isn’t limited to students enrolled anywhere.

In every way, Talia Avrahami lives an Orthodox Jewish lifestyle. She observes Shabbat, keeps strictly kosher, and covers her hair with a wig.
But then she was outed as trans — and the Jewish school she just started teaching at asked her to leave.

Seven-in-ten American Jews identify as Democrats and nearly three-quarters disapproved of Trump's record in office.
When Trump accuses "liberal Jews" of having "voted to destroy America and Israel," he is referring to 75% of American Jews.

LinkedIn needs to stop allowing unpaid "internships" to be posted on their site.
It exacerbates intergenerational wealth inequality, which, coincidentally, primarily benefits white people.
