Feel free to delete this but I take so much issue with people who “became Jewish” after Oct 7th. It tells to me, they only see their identity with Judaism when they get to be thee victim and use their victimhood. It’s a shallow reading of Judaism and so irritating.
Excellent response to the "We stand with Israel" hysteria following 7 Oct, which in fact kicked off all-out "settler" violence, and gave huge impetus to the Ben Gvir/Smotrich annexation push.
This is the totality of today's Israel, to which we are exhorted to "stand with".
Scott Galloway is top of the list. What he knows about the history of the Middle East, particularly the treatment of Gazans, Netanyahu's role in destabilizing 2-state solution negotiations for decades, and Netanyahu's disastrous strategy of funding Hamas to maintain a division between the PLO and Hamas...could fit into a thimble.
I always thought Jewish descent was determined by the mother, but Reingold's mother is not Jewish. Have I been mistaken all this time? Or am I being gaslit?
From my understanding anyone can convert, but the ethnic line passes through the mother. All Israeli Zionist genocide aside, it is a smart move on the part of Judaism (not Zionism) as a whole. I knew someone who would always say "The child of my daughter is my grandkid, the child of my son could be anyone's grandkid." Personally, I think we all need to take care of everyone's kids in this big human family but I get where they were coming from in a capitalists sense, even if I think it's cringe.

LMAO Hasan looks like security everywhere he goes. We all know he probably a softie irl. I seen how he puts that giant puppy on his lap every week.

I thought his face was extraordinarily kind, when asked directly about the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. And I applaud him for his response.
