I’ll stop calling out sexist stuff when there’s no longer sexism. I’ll stop calling out racist stuff when there is no longer racism. I’ll stop calling out antisemetic stuff when there is no longer antisemitism. Got it? Good.

Want Jews to go back to where we came from? Mazal tov! You’re a Zionist! (If you’re confused, it’s probably because you think Jews are from Brooklyn or Poland. Unfortunately, for you, you’re wrong. We’re actually from Judea!)
