It's almost the weekend and you deserve something special. Check out "Little White Monkeys" by Manshuk Kali and translated by @slava8.bsky.social appearing in our newest issue! tr.ee/GUrbjAIzdG
Little White Monkeys by Manshuk Kali, translated by Slava Faybysh The woman lays the ultrasound results on her doctor’s table, to the right of the desk calendar advertising low-hormone birth control pills and next to the life-sized model of the female reproductive system, on which protuberant black peas represent various stages of fibroid growth, a yellow pea shows an ectopic pregnancy, and a pink pea is a correctly attached embryo. The ultrasound results confirm that the procedure went off without a hitch. You’ll need to take it easy for a while, says the doctor, writing up a prescription with a ball-point pen flashing the same logo for birth control that’s on the calendar. He jots down her medications on the pad and recommends sexual abstinence. The woman is on edge but still listening to her doctor as she glances at the wall clock. But by the time the appointment is over, his words are barely distinguishable in the pressurized tick … tock … tick … tock …. read more at the link in our bio

So is the PA’s law giving the death penalty to anyone who sells land to a Jew also apartheid?

The Onion is no longer funny. And the issue is not “you can’t tell the difference b/w truth and an Onion headline.” That’s an excuse. The issue is them. They’re not funny. I think the new crop of comedians has inherited a humor that’s not natural to them.

It occurs to me that this is another good reason to put the translator’s name on the cover. In the future readers will know the book was translated by a human

Early blood libel reminded me of modern day progressives. Simon of Trent is the child that Jews were falsely accused of killing, resulting in torture and killing of the town’s Jews.

If you’re not willing to look anything up then you should not make these obviously false claims. Hamas has majority support in Gaza. The only reason support has gone down is they made a tactical error. The majority still wants to annihilate the Jews. Not even Hamas claims 100s of 1000s of deaths.

OH NO!!! How will I ever survive without some random guy on the internet who has decided I’m the devil without knowing me??? Oh and you’re the genocide apologist. 10/7 was intentional killing of people because of their ethnicity. Unlike the war.

I’m not saying do your own research about a wild theory. I’m saying Google to verify a statistic or an event that occurred. Such as Hamas is supported by a majority of Gazans. Easily and quickly verifiable.

This is social media, not school. I don’t owe you anything. If you can’t be bothered to verify basic info and statistics that’s your problem. Just keep playing pretend and boycotting the other side

There is no forced displacement. Instead Palestinians are being forced to stay inside a war zone. In all other wars, civilians are allowed to leave.

Watching air strikes is not the same thing as having a party around dead bodies murdered in cold blood. Hamas and Fatah also hand out candies whenever Jews are killed. Google the incident of the red hands and you will find more demonic activity.

Slava Faybysh @slava8.bsky.social · 03/10/2025
Hamas is supported by a large majority of Gazans. Easily verifiable on Google. They are the ruling party of Gaza. To say they are a tiny minority is to put your head in the sand about what Israel is dealing with.

The real demons here are Hamas. They are driven by hate of Jews. They have repeatedly said they want to kill Jews. They strangled a baby with their bare hands and danced around the grave. That’s demonic. And they alone have the power to stop the war, but they don’t want to.

This is the part where you google “antisemitic incidents by ideology” rather than making me do your research for you. Or you can just cover your eyes and keep playing pretend.

The simplest explanation is that the guy named Jihad was a Jihadist and killed Jews because he hated Jews. Duh

If there is nothing progressive about ethno terrorism then why are the people supporting ethno terrorists progressive? The left has become a bigger threat to Jews.

Pure victim blaming. Hamas sowed death and destruction. They wanted this.

How dare you libel the Jews and Israel. No shame. This is PURE victim blaming. There is no genocide of Palestinians. It is you people who keep lying that are complicit in the violence against Jews.

Netanyahu is irrelevant. Stop bringing up his name as if it matters in any way. Stop using his name to demonize Israel and the Jews.

Stop telling people what to do. This is not Israel’s fault. This is antizionist’s fault. This HAS been done by an opponent of Israel.

Antizionism is antisemitism. Antizionism did this. The main antisemites who hate Jews are antizionists. There is no difference between the two in the real world.

Israel says there are 900 truckloads of aid that have not been allowed through by the UN and Hamas. Who cares about such inconvenient facts when you have an obsession to feed? Make sure never to even listen to Democrats’ 2nd best constituency.

Slava Faybysh @slava8.bsky.social · 18/07/2025
Israel is not an ethnostate. The percentage of minorities is higher than almost all, if not all European countries. Yes, antizionists are antisemites because they don’t attack any other country’s right to exist. They only hate Israel.

Slava Faybysh @slava8.bsky.social · 18/07/2025
Antizionism is a fascist ideology which says that Jews are the only people in the entire world who don’t deserve self determination. Jews are the indigenous people of Israel. Antizionists also think they are morally superior, just like the fascists of old. It’s corny at this point.

They say every accusation is an admission. Not just this specifically, but everything you’ve said shows you are actually deranged. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Slava Faybysh @slava8.bsky.social · 18/07/2025
Zionism is the idea that Jews, like everyone else deserve self determination. I don’t hate Palestinians and never did. Hamas is the genocidal death cult though. They say this out loud and are proud of it

Slava Faybysh @slava8.bsky.social · 18/07/2025
Imagine being a minority under attack and wanting to survive. So are the Druze supposed to just die? The Israeli-Jewish connection is deep. Druze deserve to live and Israel is right to protect them.

250 people have just been massacred in southern Syria. Unlike Hamas, they were not holding hostages. It is documented. I didn’t say there was a genocide there, but that Israel is protecting a religious minority targeted because of their religion.

Why are you promoting virulent antisemite and Hamas supporter Albanese? She is such an extremist that she has been barred from the US. Israel is currently preventing a genocide if the Druze in Syria. Do you even care?
