True. While some of us are proselytizers, most of us welcome anyone who self-identifies as “Jewish” in a more casual fashion—though real conversion does require some study.
The 23andMe genetic results would be to shut up those meddlers who call Israelis “colonizers”.

It occurs to me that a couple of 23andMe style genetic origin screenings would go a long way to shut up many of your detractors.
Of course the dyed-in-the-wool antisemites would just find other excuses to hate us.

Both Trump and Iran are Putin’s puppets. How did this gentlemanly missile exchange benefit Putin?

Such an outrageous statement that we’ve “survived”.
Six million in WWII DID NOT SURVIVE!
Many more did not survive defending Israel from 80+ years of constant existential menace!
11 innocents at Tree of Life did not survive!

We can speculate. Who would benefit by pretending to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons program while actually just driving it deeper into secrecy?

Imagine if in 1969, Le Guin had written about an emissary visiting a gay or transexual community in the United States. What publisher would have touched that manuscript?

I subscribe to Ray Bradbury’s observation that science fiction is really about the past, not the future. As Star Trek:TOS showed us, some topics can only be handled (especially on 1960’s TV) by disguising them as “future stories.

So you agree in a two+ minute discourse Bardin should have devoted equal time to each side of the issue!
I’m glad we’ve found common ground

(If you need a transcription of Bardin’s entire screed, let me know)

For example, he used “genocide” incorrectly. He actually meant “Israel’s involuntary war against a brutal, existential enemy that struck first, slaughtering or enslaving innocent civilians indiscriminately and wants to keep doing it”, not “genocide”.

Bardin: “The situation in Gaza which I see your—and of course they have to return those hostages—but the situation in Gaza…” for an additional 1:45 minutes until he is cut off by Whoopi to go to a commercial.
Not exactly a fair and balanced assessment of the Gaza situation.

I watched. Bardin went on so long spouting Muslim brotherhood propaganda lies that I may have missed his opening nod to the brutal murder and enslavement of hundreds of Israelis attending a peace festival.
I said I’d go back and look AGAIN.
Get off your high horse.

I may have missed it. I’ll go back and check. No need to call names if you’re right.

You keep using that word incorrectly. You actually mean “Israel’s involuntary war against a brutal, existential enemy that struck first, slaughtering innocent civilians indiscriminately and wants to keep doing it”, not “genocide”.
You’re welcome!

On the positive side, authoritarian government sanctioned ICE activities by former Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and fascist MAGATS keeps them busy so they don’t pursue their usual militia-based political harassment, voter intimidation and minority suppression.

So in those terms, the message of Le Guin’s Left Hand of Darkness would be how resting your arm on the open window while driving could get it sun burned!

I recently saw a video on YouTube that used game theory to prove that the Dark Forest approach was the least successful way to deal with another galactic civilization.

I missed your post demanding Hamas release all hostages, lay down weapons to cease hostilities and disavow their promises to do it all again until all Israelis are dead.
Can you repost it?
Thanks in advance.

Hey! We agree on something!
Also, it’s totally irrelevant to Israel’s right to exist and defend itself, but you do you.

So Jews and witches.
Do you ever read your comments before posting them?
You should.
You’re being totally unfair to the Wiccan religion.
Also totally antisemitic.
comment in response to
post
Well, Jews have existed in that area for the entire time, so there’s that.
Also, if the world hadn’t persecuted and murdered Diaspora Jews during most of that same period, perhaps so many of them wouldn’t seek to return to their point of origin to defend themselves by any means necessary.

Judaism isn’t about sky pixies. Nice try. It’s shows you know nothing about a cultural heritage or how modern Jews can appreciate a 6,000 year old folk wisdom without getting their panties in a twist.
Spoiler alert: Modern western culture moral practices are based on those 6,000 year old stories.

Jews, religious and secular, are observing our 5785th calendar year.
Many of our holidays celebrate surviving attempts to exterminate us.
But go ahead and tell us, in your infinite wisdom, how we’ll soon disappear

So you did demand Hamas release all hostages, lay down weapons to cease hostilities and disavow their promises to do it all again until all Israelis are dead once, but not since Oct 7? Does it occur to you that Hamas could end this all immediately if they did so? So this is on them, not Israel.
