four venn diagrams.

What mainstream Jewish organizations think:
All antizionism is antisemitism, and most but not all antisemitism is antizionism.

What The Christian right things: All antizionism is antisemitism, and all antisemitism is antizionism.

What a certain kind of leftist thinks: No antizionism is antisemitism, and antisemitism is very small actually

The reality: Not all antizionism is antisemitism, nor is all antisemitism antizionism, but there is certainly a present overlap between the two

A useful chart

The way that y’all ignore Christian Zionists and let them off the hook has me in a low simmering rage at all times that never goes away. And every single time someone says the word Zionists I KNOW y’all are just talking about Jews.

Lots more to add to this list today. Zero tolerance for this kind of behavior. Any references to the attack potentially being a "false flag" are an automatic inclusion

Photographs of a dinosaur-looking bird, the shoebill, and popstar Sabrina Carpenter, overlaid with a height comparison showing both are 152 cm, with visual graphics saying the magazine's name SSWAGGER and some Chinese characters

Photographs of a shoebill and popstar Sabrina Carpenter overlaid with a height comparison showing that, yes indeed, both are just 152 cm

I can't even begin to describe this photograph. I think that might be Taylor Swift on a night out with Sabrina Carpenter. But Sabrina is photoshopped to have a shoebill face and talons, with wing-tips coming out her coat but still Sabrina's hair

Just incredible shoebill awareness-raising from this Hong Kong teens' magazine

Finally, I dedicate this book to the memory of my grandfather, Lew Din Wing (1922-2002). Ye Ye, when you were nine years old and found yourself on Angel Island in an immigration detention center, you could not have known what put you there. During our last conversation before you died, we talked about those thirty-four days in detainment without family or friends. I understand now, more than I did then, the collective history that created the shame you held as your own personal burden. I wish I could share this history with you. And I wish you could see your family now, ever growing, including my children, Carson Wing and Dane Stewart. The eldest is just now nine years old.

The best thing about Philadelphia is that bc the Quakers just let anybody hang is that you can pass any old dentist office in Pennsport that used to house a Satanic cult in the 18th century

Will never stop citing the Quakers as the reason that Philadelphia is like that (complimentary)

I really feel for the younger generations. I grew up in a time when the only cop you'd see at a temple was off-duty on the high holy days & he was directing traffic into the parking lot.

It's incredibly unsettling now to see armed security ALL THE TIME at temples and JCCs. I am so sorry we're here.

…so now you’re trying to have it both ways. β€œI didn’t say it was a false flag, the post I shared did”. do you disagree? what did your comment β€œfalse flag season” add? and your new point is that, regardless of whether it’s real or fake, the US regime and β€œtheir handlers” will take advantage of it?

It’s gory horror but not like something that would keep you up at night imo. I think it’s worth the watch. There’s so much going on alongside the horror that there’s not much to be genuinely afraid of in that respect.
