It's been a stance the US has had since the inception of Israel after ww2. Back then, the US had significantly more christians and christians tend to view jews as important because the bible says israel is where the end of days is supposed to start. After that decline, Israel has been viewed as an important ally for military reasons.

I understand that you're trying to be helpful, but you're jewplaining my culture to me. Please stop.

I'm fully aware that zionism does not equal judaism .

I'm also aware of some of the more problematic parts of the bill, but none of it directly ties Judaism to Zionism. The closest we get is this section

“Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g. by claiming that the existence of the State of Israel is a racist endeavor”

but even that at the moment is a stretch. The right to self-determination and sovereignty are rights respected by most every country and the UN. What I see as problematic would be potential future law that would define the boundaries of the State of Israel to include Palestine.

Mind helping me see your perspective on what makes this an L?

Edit: I just realized that my attempt to shorthand does not equal got rekt.

@binthinkin

Hopefully you can forgive the typo and we can still discuss

There's a comment thread below yours that I'd love for you to read. This isn't a "hey fuck off" but an actual ask since one of the comments is very similar to my mindset of the bill and I believe we can have a pretty good convo once you read the mindset a bit.

I agree that it has potential for misuse, but read the thread and let's discuss (also it's bedtime here so expect a delay in response from me please)

Wasn't the last CEO from EA as well or am I misremembering?

What a rare W

The group adds that "rhetorical and physical manifestations" of antisemitism include such things as calling for the killing or harming of Jews or holding Jews collectively responsible for actions taken by Israel.

This is actually really good and a point I've tried to make to lukewarm success. The Israelis are not always in favor of the actions of their government much like we Americans aren't. Making this distinction is important so that we remember who we're actually angry at and who we demand action from regarding the clear genocide of the Palestinians.

Context: I'm an American Jew who is furious with Bibi's actions and the IDF.

Get a shotgun, load it noisely when the kids trespass

Isn't the cost of living in Germany also lower than us statie boys?

add stuff to a ball of stuff it gets bigger

Katamari intensifies

This is what I imagine the gingerdead man looks like

But if I don't vote how else will I let genocide joe know I oppose his genocide in Israel?! /s

That's a really good consideration as well! Hopefully its a quick shipping time for you

I love how repairable and modifiable the deck is as well! I swapped my sticks for hall effect sticks a while back. Was super easy to do.

If you'd like to game while waiting for your replacement part, you can link a Bluetooth controller to your deck or use the usb c port to give yourself some USB ports for a keyboard and mouse.

This will sound terrible of me, but while this was a truly wonderful and thought provoking post I am the worst person to reply to it as I fatigue quickly from replying with a respectfully long post.

That being said, I'll give the book a read! I also agree with the idea of voting 3rd party. I personally don't have such a party I agree with but if you do, I want you to vote the way you feel.

100% criticize away! I'm just getting annoyed by seeing all of the "don't vote Biden" bullshit lately.

Imo an acceptable alternative is "remember to vote for the lesser evil!"

Or even my favorite, "write your congresspersons to stop the genocide!"

I'll hardcore pass on voting for a treasonous bastard. I'm already amazed that we didn't nuke the fucking planet when trump was in office. I'm not giving him a second chance.

It's funny that leftists call him genocide joe when Trump would be actively worse and offer additional manpower.

Complain and downvote how you like, but consider which candidate you actually have a chance of getting to agree to your point of view.

What is sublinks?

Update: there was a link in the article, thanks though!

Odd, I remember reading it in that post but you're correct it's not there.

Ahhh gotcha gotcha. I was doing this by default in my python testing, glad I was doing things right

The admins stated this would happen in the upgrade announcement. Worth getting in the habit of reading the pinned posts homie
