A murder is a different thing than an execution, is maybe one thing here Apart from serving as a parasocial status demonstration, I really don’t understand what the virtue of trying to underplay the significance of the U.S. goverment making an official snuff film is

Chauvin was convicted of murder, and the other cops were convicted of crimes. It's a bit different than a state-sanctioned execution given that it was *literally punished by the state*.

The discourse on antisemitism in the country is such that Mike Rogers can simultaneously attack Abdul El-Sayed *as* antisemitic, as a scary foreign Muslim critic of Israel, and also *with* antisemitism, as a tool of the foreign-born Jewish puppeteer.

"LEAKED: Footage of Abdul El-Sayed fundraising last night in the California home of the far-left Soros family.

Abdul’s education was paid for by the Soros family and NOW they are funding his campaign to make him a U.S. Senator

The Soros family is funding Abdul because he will carry out their agenda of:

➡️ defunding the police
➡️ emptying prisons, and letting violent criminals & sex offenders back onto the streets
➡️ gender transition surgeries for minors
➡️ allowing illegals to vote in American elections

Abdul is too extreme for Michigan."

Not to do peak Brit Posting with a Pratchett reference, but to quote Death in the Hogfather, "You need to believe in things that aren't true. How else can they become?" It is incredibly corrosive and unhelpful to meet all instances of "this isn't who we are" with "yeah but it is actually"

If you want to know why Jews are suspicious of you when you're just trying to be a well-meaning antizionist gentile, consider that these two things were written by the same man, Guangtian Ha, a (currently suspended) religion professor at Haverford

a passage from an article by guangtian ha that reads:

We make this call amidst growing concern about antisemitism on our campus. Questions have arisen in the context of a number of specific situations, including external influences from Lower Merion, from donors, and from some alumni who are hell-bent on defining the " ways to be Jewish. This, of course, flies in the face of thousands of years of Jewish tradition which is fundamentally based on interrogation, questioning, and truth-seeking. We take these attacks on our anti-Zionist Jewish community members seriously and we understand the real damage the state of Israel causes for the entire Jewish world when it claims to be acting on behalf of all Jews while engaging in horrific atrocities that - truth be told- mirror some of the worst stereotypes of Jews that have been a part of European racism for centuries. We will be clear: antisemitism should be unacceptable at Haverford, but the energy and consideration which some in our administration have granted these bad faith actors suggests otherwise.

a passage from a court document about guangtian ha that reads:

In or about January 2026, through in or about February 2026, defendant GUANGTIAN HA, using X account "America IstLM" posted a series of threatening and harassing messages directed at Victim 1, including the following:
a. "Jew, get the fuck out of my country"
b. "Jew pig, get the fuck out of Lower Merion"
c. "If jews are so special then they should also be placed in special camps and receive special treatments"
d. "LM jews are going to have it big time, jew. Remember this. You scums have had it too easy. Goyim are taking America back, blood-guzzling demons."

Most politics since the Treaty of Westphalia can be summed up as attempts to find a type of civilian that it's okay to kill. I feel like it's a relatively new phenomenon for this method to be essentially "there is no such thing as a civilian."

The Yiddish DID survive. Human beings kept it alive, & are STILL NEEDED to understand it! Unfortunately, because people perceive AI as magic, the experts who have this knowledge are losing their jobs, & we aren’t training a new generation to replace them. I can only hope the bubble pops soon.

“Gurbych’s computer cannot replace the people who once spoke the language. In Trueblood’s case, he did more than run pages through a machine. His knowledge of Jewish history and religion allowed him to explain biblical references, religious language and historical details that the computer alone could not provide. The artificial intelligence cracked open the door, but somebody still had to understand what was on the other side.”
