Depending on what you're looking for, these meet (AFAIK) traditional halachic standards without implicating intentional slaughter, while these might be more consistent with stricter vegan standards.

People often miss this. Antisemitism may not be structural in the US today in the way anti-Blackness is, but overcoming the legalism of Judaism for the spirit of love of Christianity is the ur-narrative for so much left politics in the culturally Christian world. We need to guard against it.

Tip to those covering the Fly Dubai drama (or reading about it): Netanyahu was not a character in this story, not even an important source. Not every story about Israel needs to feature the PM, at least not in the first 15 graphs.

The other thing that Gov. Cox “expanded” is the Utah Supreme Court, adding two seats after his political party lost a big redistricting case.

I’ve been a media witness to two federal executions. One was Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. The other, a week later, was a drug kingpin named Juan Raul Garza. My conclusion after watching both men die: The death penalty should not exist. Period. It fixes nothing, and it erodes our souls.

Organizations like the ADL exist at this point to protect the state of Israel from criticism, but cloak it in the language of “fighting antisemitism.” By being an actual committed non-Zionist who is against antisemitism, Mamdani calls their bluff.

Good. The settlements* are not Israel, and it's good (for Israel, too!) to clarify that. *But what about ____ which everyone knows will be swapped in any final status agreement?!?!?! Until it is? It isn't. Your cousin's nice house in Efrat is just as illegal as a random hilltop outpost.

French media: hmm, maybe Marine Le Pen’s deputy is an antisemite because he said some stuff while he was a teenager. Me: he’s definitely an antisemite because he’s the deputy of a viciously antisemitic, anti-immigrant party originally founded by a Holocaust denier; glad could clear that up for you.

It'd be great if the ADL saw fit to speak out against this gutter racism, rather than priorizing a stupid-ass attack on the NYC mayor's new anti-antisemitism effort.

The Supreme Court majority once again demonstrates it has no understanding of (or perhaps just no interest in following) the law of stays. "Sure, kill and torture a bunch of innocent people while we decide whether doing so is legal" is NOT how stays are supposed to work. 1/2

If “irreparable harm” means anything, it means being sent to a country you’ve never seen, where you may well be imprisoned, tortured, or killed, under a policy that (the cert grant implicitly acknowledges!) may well be illegal
