As an American Jew, born and raised in Soviet Ukraine, I have a personal connection to today’s hot button issues. I am using this platform to share my perspective.

See! This was not about freedom of speech or “Free Palestine”. It was about having that POS Macklemore saying it.

What is the argument against allowing AI bots to use the papers. By “AI bots” I assume you mean using the papers to train AI. Whats the downside?

🚨NEW by me: New ICE facility for unaccompanied migrant kids is about to open in Louisiana. While ICE is sanitizing optics, calling it the "Alexandria Family Staging Center," lawmakers and child advocates are raising the roof warning of child trafficking risks. www.thequeenzone.com/new-ice-faci...

Yet another example of how everything - including history - becomes distorted in service of Jew hate.

“Mass incitement”. - but I believe (and my work shows) that fear mongering - casting the other group as a threat- is really effective in framing it as the enemy

Agreed. What is Germany’s approach? I know there is no absolute freedom of speech but i don’t know what the limits are.

Emotional moments: Hours after a cockpit attack forced their flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia, the passengers of flydubai Flight FZ1073 were greeted by Ben Gurion air traffic controllers as they finally returned home safely.

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:

Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem
A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

The town where I was born had a ravine - Babiy Yar- where Nazis gunned down 30,000 Jews one weekend in 1941. The only reason my mother survived is because my grandma ran from the city. My baby uncle died though. You have no right to mention Nazis to me, let alone try to compare me to them.

You can’t answer me - you “colonizer libel” is false. So instead you attack me. I don’t support killing anyone, including Palestinians. Note that Hamas vows to destroy Israel. This genocidal intent is written in their founding charter. Hamas is guilty of genocide.

Oct 8 was a rude awakening. I thought Jews have finally found a safe haven in US, but seeing how Americans cheered and celebrated the genocide of Oct 7, convinced me that Jews need a self-determination of a homeland.
