This makes perfect sense once you understand that "fighting antisemitism", for these people, has absolutely nothing to do with Jews whatsoever, it's just about defending a hard conservative foreign policy.

If your anti-bigotry bill has bipartisan support, and one half of those supporters are self-proclaimed, full-throated, unashamed white supremacists, maybe you should ask yourself if your bill is actually anti-bigotry.

“We later found out that Hamas had offered on Oct 9 or 10 to release all the civilian hostages in exchange for the IDF not entering the Strip, but the govt rejected the offer...." "Bibi knows that the moment the hostages are released, Smotrich & Ben Gvir will leave the govt.” AS WE'VE BEEN SAYING.

I've been extremely hesitant to publicly weigh in on any of this for a variety of reasons, but folks hijacking Jonathan Glazer's statement about how he doesn't want his Jewishness to be hijacked is making me see red. He is owning his Jewish identity, not refuting it. Read the actual words.

Glazer – who, like Wilson, is Jewish - continued: “Right now we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people, whether the victims of October 7 in Israel or the ongoing attack in Gaza.”

I’m BEGGING you to stop using the lizard people, lizard person, lizard whatever joke in ANY context that shit is based on white supremacist antisemitic trope that Jews are all shapeshifting lizard people secretly controlling the world. Every time you call ANYONE a lizard a Jew who sees it flinches

In my religion, it is not "effacing God's glory" to destroy embryos. Embryos are not children. As @theradr.bsky.social reminded us, the "unborn child" is considered "mere fluid" for the 1st 40 days past conception. The "unborn child" is not a life until it's *crowning*.

And sure enough, clinics and hospitals have to stop treatment. Imagine spending tens of thousands of $ and countless hours at appointments, giving yourself shots, managing to make embryos, getting back on hormones for transfer prep... and getting your cycle canceled. The cruelty is overwhelming.
