š this is so heartbreaking

Iām trying to understand the reason for anti-LGBTQ legislation. Is the goal to remove LGBTQ people from public life? Why? Is the belief that itās a choice to be LGBTQ (and a bad one)? Where does the perspective come from? What justifies it?

Iāve been thinking a lot about the way you see Zionism. Obviously not the way I see it. It hit me, Palestinians want an ethnostate of their own and genocide against Jews. I am slow, but I got there. You donāt mind genocide or ethnostate if itās your peeps

But if we figured out peace in the Middle East together instead.

I love the vision of that country where Palestinians and Jews (and all the other populations living there) have freedom, equal rights and prosperity. The other words hurt me so deeply. š

What would lasting peace look like, if you could snap your fingers and change the way things are?

I donāt know which way you think the imbalance leans, but I am certain that each side could use your words to justify their violence. Everyone justifies their violence exactly like this. However we get there, what will peaceful times look like? Letās get there.

Iām not angry - Iām sad. Iām sad about all of this.

Then why not see Israel as being āpushed to make rash decisions?ā We must condemn violence, hatred and war. When you claim one group is justified in violence, it only follows that the other side is justified in violence. Seek peace.

What if we held each otherās pain and imagined a future where people loved each other and lived together in peace?

20% of Israelis are Palestinian. And I donāt care what you call the place as long as Jews can live there too.

Well, I gotta send hugs and prayers to people supporting me too! Doubly so.

I appreciate you. I didnāt know what was up until you got through to me. I understand your definition of Zionism is nothing like mine. Mine doesnāt involve genocide.

I am a Zionist, which is someone who supports Jews' right to self-determination in their historic homeland and Israel's right to exist. I am also anti-hate. I am an LGBTQ ally, a proud American and a lover of art and animals. Also kinda Taoist.

Genocide means āacts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.ā Saying that about Israel is ridiculous. That word perpetuates dehumanization of Israeli and Jewish people.

Excellent and accurate explanation!

I think most āOrthodoxā Jews donāt even like that terminology. Lots of other words but basically - a Jew is a Jew is a Jew. Do you think Blackman knows this and is full of shit or just really not at all religious? I think the latter.

Itās intriguing to me because I spend a lot of time in the Orthodox community and most consider all Jews the same = Jews. All bound by Halacha whether we do it today or tomorrow. That guy is really not speaking for anyone!

I guess that is part of your point. š

Does he say if you arenāt Orthodox then nothing at all can infringe? All Jews believe abortion is required to save the mother, so if he is claiming something else, heās just lying. He is clearly not Orthodox so I donāt know why heās talking about any of this.

Not a legal scholar but letās discuss. I read reason.com/volokh/2022/... and Iām curious where he goes wrong in saying, for example, if you donāt care about keeping kosher, then laws stopping you from doing it are not infringing on your religious liberty.
